"Where's your restrooms?!" "Out back." "Out back? Like in the alley?" "Yeah, it's unisex, though..."

Cheesegod posted:His ideas usually involve 3-4 flat screen TVs with a 3D rendering of the bar's logo spinning. I'm pretty sure he did that in the recent episode where he made a bar into a 70s themed house. It's the funny thing about the show since it showcases both bad business owners and also how taffer is basically bankrupt in terms of having any real creativity. etalian fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Feb 1, 2015 |

Cheesegod posted:I know but I like to imagine they just play the bar's logo spinning all the time I've spent months trying to convince my boss to get a bank of wall mounted monitors to have spinning 3D poo poo on, really classes up to joint. Baring that I'm going to steal the 80" TV from the conference room and just have it display satellite tracking maps. Nothing to do with our business, but lol.

Is that Tattoo Rescue show still around? Because that was the biggest train wreck of "rescue" shows

So are the initial "scouting missions" where they send undercover people in to check out the place recreated for the TV? Because it seems weird that there's apparently 3 camera crews in the joint already but the employees aren't treating every customer like they're the president of the US.

Because it seems weird that there's apparently 3 camera crews in the joint already but the employees aren't treating every customer like they're the president of the US. It's all staged, for reasons you pointed out. I think Gordon Ramsay has the best approach to this. He's one of the most recognizable chefs in the world, and he just walks right in and orders food. There's no point to him doing some pussy scouting mission when he can just walk in with a film crew and have the restaurant gently caress up spectacularly regardless. I think the only time he does anything like that is on the return to Amy's Baking Co episode, for obvious reasons. I feel like the US show might be staged at times, but the UK show definitely isn't (and it also doesn't have as much unnecessary yelling, uk show isn't censored, no annoying dramatic background music.) But for the most part I feel like it's p accurate. I went to that family owned Greek restaurant in Seattle way before it was on Kitchen Nightmares and the waitress was crying & was just as much of a poo poo-show as it was in the show. Bar rescue is fake as hell, but there definitely is an ounce of truth to how lovely the bars in the show are.

Aquatic Giraffe posted:They set up "hidden cameras" They're not hidden at all, the bar knows they're being watched. They basically tell them they're in the running to be on the show and they've installed cameras in a number of bars. Then BAM! Sports jacket out of nowhere.

They had gym rescue on for like two episodes too, it was poo poo. To catch a contractor somehow survives, despite not even being entertaining. "Dude, you hosed up." "Yeah, so?" "Whatever, let's hammer some poo poo."

I don't know, I actually think Adam Corolla is doing a really good service to people who've been completely hosed over by contractors. He knows the business and has the ability to out these assholes and give them a choice of finishing the job, refunding money, or being sued in court. The only part of the show I haven't liked is when he tries to be funny. That guy's more of a natural funny guy. When he tries, it's just miserable. He should stop trying.

JediTalentAgent posted:I'll accept that as a possibility, too, and the post following yours, if accurate, sheds a lot more light on the situation. Taffer may be one step above a carnival huckster, but look at where the show starts. To even get on Bar Rescue you have to be insane, up to your eyeballs in debt, and incapable of running a bar. Even if the show spent some serious coin on doing proper renovations and market research (instead of seemingly picking the new bar theme out of a hat), you're still handing the keys of the new bar over to someone who has already proven they will run a bar into the ground. Piratz! was going to close no matter what Bar Rescue did to that place. You could have turned it into a topless Red Lobster and 6 months later it still would have closed. Although Taffer's redesign was horrifically generic, in the end that wasn't going to change the fact that the lady who owned it was crazy and had no ability to manage a business.

I watched a season or two of Kitchen Nightmares and it's a much better show than Bar Rescue, even if something like 50% of the restaurants close down with 6 months of Ramsey visiting. The saddest was an episode where the owner was a nice little old lady making authentic African food. Ramsey was blown away by it and pretty much admitted that her food was better than anything he could ever do, but her staff sucked and she was in a crazy amount of debt so they had to shut their doors.
