Gordon got that meth-addicted kid on Kitchen Nightmares to get help so surely he can do it for Philip.

Holy poo poo that Ninja Turtle macaroni commercial. Stocking shelves at a grocery store is too good a job for Vanilla Ice.surf rock posted:If a bathtub has sloped ends, it's actually not a terrible way to sleep for a night if you can't sleep without your head elevated, especially if you prefer firm mattresses.

Sorta puts a big downer bow on that haphazardly edited ep. Was anyone else perturbed by how few rooms they were able to make available post-reno? That place was enormous and they somehow ended up with only 12 rooms? I mean sure it's a 200% increase but still

Also: Monticello employees stunned by abrupt closure of restaurant, lounge quote:There had been rumors of trouble because the food and drink orders hadn’t been renewed that week, but Bolar, 24, said she still couldn’t believe the restaurant and lounge were closing and she was out of a job.

The owner will probably end up dead trying to rob a liquor store sometime in the near future. He seems like a lost cause.

I first thought of that, but if his mom worked at this hotel and he spent a lot of time there he might just have huge mommy issues and is also dating all the once-hot female staff there because he is an emotional child.

InfiniteZero posted:I'm not sure if you're technically "dating" your beard. I'm glad someone else thought this too, but the mommy issues people posited made me question my theory. Here's my very presumptuous take: dude is gay and unable to express it for whatever reason. Figures if he's closeted and stuck, might as well be rich and dates the old lady. He can't leave the facade behind and be honest and so the drinking starts. He's only dating the GM because she's a drinking buddy and enabler (did anybody else notice her wearing sunglasses in the kitchen?). The money doesn't make him happy and he sucks at business and wants to be himself and so the drinking is now out of control. I mean, those earrings. Come on.

I mostly agree with Enderzero's assessment and by the end of the show I actually felt bad for the guy because of it (I believe that the money was actually his though -- thus why his wife has something to gain from the relationship in a more direct way).

When he was a kid, his mom was a cocktail waitress there. I definitely think this is when he developed his weird fixation. When he was in his 30s and the owner was in her 60s, they married. She died, he got all her money and the hotel. Now he's dating the hotel's general manager, who's also 30 years older than him. The most interesting/telling/crazy thing to me is that it's not like he found a girlfriend somewhere else and installed her as the GM. He started dating this one, who had been at the hotel since the early '70s. So she was super aware of all this poo poo, she probably knew him as a kid, she definitely had a front-row seat when he got involved with the owner, and she still got in on that. That's what I really want to know about. "Oh honey, you're my second choice among all the women 30 years older than me who work at this hotel."

This douchenozzle put at least a dozen people out of jobs without warning on New Year's Day, and they didn't even put that into the show. If anything, he should have known that he was getting enough bad publicity out of HH that something like that just wouldn't be acceptable. I don't care about any redeeming qualities he might have that didn't make it onto television. You cannot excuse that poo poo.

No doubt he's a major rear end in a top hat. He's also still a millionaire with a yacht and fleet of fancy cars, so he probably doesn't really give a poo poo what the average viewer thinks of him. Not surprising given how little he thinks of the people who've worked for him for years.

Is Gordon contractually obligated to show skin? A lot of these Hotel Hell episodes feature his rear end quite prominently.

In old Kitchen Nightmares episodes there was always one scene where he took his shirt off to put on his chef's whites. It happened in every single episode. I think he's just a bit of an exhibitionist.
