I didn't recomment watching Slavi's show, whatever its worth might be, for its own sake, but only for the sake of its showing the experience of another American living in Bulgaria: I reckoned Carolyn might be interested in this, as a person in an analogous situation. 
Nor did I do this to encourage her to emulate Mrs. Rodel in being “more Bulgarian than almost all Bulgarians”, if that's what you're trying to impute to my post. I simply said I find it astonishing that an American can be more Bulgarian than almost all Bulgarians.
