WickedHate posted:Much less the car dealership rescue show. I watched one episode and every frame dripped fakeness. Lizard Lick Towing and it's stint on the other show where it was a "quirky part". And pretty much all of Hardcore Pawn too. That show makes Detroit look shittier than it is, and the family squabble is pathetic

I saw last week's for the first time tonight. Good god what a lovely place. No wonder Taffer walked out...especially the wife bitch, she needed a bat to the skull. The first girl they fired, I was hoping she'd have the decency not to come back. If they're gonna side against her dishonestly, even after that's straightened out, how would she trust them again? Hell, if it were me I'd have gone and filed charges that minute. I was hoping the security dude would walk too after they were badmouthing him and planning to fire him too.

I've been wondering, with as lovely a job as people claim Taffer's overhauls are, will they ever have the balls to put Bar Rescue on To Catch a Contractor.

OmegaBR posted:See I think if they had kept a relatively aquatic theme to Piratz, it would have been better received (my suggestion would be turning it into a cruise ship experience.) Then they could have done the pirate parties once in a while for all the corporate types to enjoy. My suggestion would be to burn the place to the ground and piss on the ashes, rub your hand around in those ashes and then bitch slap the owner with that hand.

Loomer posted:To be fair, half their mixed drinks they come up with on this show aren't something I'd order. A loving donut garnish? Get out of here. To be even fairer, you should compare the similar months as times of the year fluxuate. Yeah, I don't think it'll change the numbers that much

D.N. Nation posted:Dude's kitchen was a disaster, he was a walking health hazard, he barely cleaned it on the first chance Taffer gave him, and he's screwing up burgers/hot dogs(!)/frozen cheese sticks. How does that not = fired? This was pretty much Fairways Golf & Grill redux. I'm picturing a dude that's never had to cook for himself beyond a tv dinner (and even manages to gently caress that up) and should probably go work a McDonalds or something so he can get at least some primitive basics down with cleaning and cooking. Seriously, if I saw someone like that in a kitchen, you can bet your rear end I'd turn right around and leave I think it was the episode prior or maybe two ago where they showed the fryer cooking in the beginning and the surface was yellow foam. Christ if that doesn't alert you that the oil's bad, the burning putrid smell coming from it should be ringing a goddamned gong.

raditts posted:According to Bar Rescue Updates, Taffer was a bit less than truthful about why the bar actually closed: Well, I think it's rather honorable Taffer didn't blurt out "Jeff returned to being an rear end in a top hat and had multiple charges levied against his dumb "my muscular shoulders, bro" rear end". Taffer didn't lie though that the place closed because it didn't stick with what he gave'em

Every time I watch one of these I wonder how the gently caress they never had/passed health inspections. you can't tell me people that go there don't notice all this poo poo when the place "smells like piss" or has bugs in the liquor, or has wildlife running across the bar top.

I'm sure there's plenty of other "weapons" around that would be just as deadly as a couple axes. Knives, busted bottles, stools, etc.

Binary Logic posted:Yes, bottles are expected to be in a bar. 2 fire axes on the wall within easy reach of any drunk - not so much. But the issue was that these axes were going to be a chance to have a weapon, not that a hundred other things that are easier to grab and use weren't already.

The family divided, everyone's calling everyone a liar, one's selling out the family secrets to whoever will pay the most and TLC dropped it all because Mamma landwhale kicked her previous sugar daddy to go with this ex-con jackass. And she's pretty much spent all the money her kids made from the show that she claimed to have set up in accounts so they could be financially sound.

I still wanna know how you go in a million loving dollar debt. I mean jesus, how the gently caress could you get anything with your credit so hosed. Better yet how you can go that far in debt and decide your main means of income would be better served as your personal hangout that earns you nothing.

Because in this case it's a TV show that earns through marketing and commercials. As long as it's a good show they'll make up that 100k and then some.

Showing a revisit of bars including Zan z Bar and Piratz now. Just finished the piratz episode before it. Definitely got a laugh out of the butthurt staff from Piratz after it closed. "John yelled at us and did nothing to fix the place, so it closed". Not what TV and everyone else has been saying, but they all were fuckers that needed a reality check anyways

Halloween Jack posted:To be fair, CORPORATE bar and grill was a vile abomination. The concept sucked baby poo poo through a garden hose and the proposed attractions were product placement for gimmicky special magic ice and an instant cocktail machine whose inventors should be executed by firing squad. but it was making money and shut down within days to be burned and pissed upon. Madame von Playacting didn't like it from before it's conception as it wouldn't focus on her playacting. Regardless if Corporate was good or bad, it was shucked well before its time so she could play dressup in a failing bar that continued to fail till she was begging to be rescued again

I won't deny corporate was a lovely way to go, but I think john realized nothing was really going to stay if it wasn't her pirate poo poo. So might as well give them something lovely that'll make some money or give them some remote hope of chance and let him slip out the door before the place collapsed in on itself again. Hell, the fact they put that retard back in the kitchen that couldn't cook for poo poo (especially his "signature dish" he spit out) should say it all right there. the revisit was hysterical "Oh yes, love, the fish is fresh flown in just for you" *throws a frozen fish brick on the grill, cooks it half way through* SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Sep 8, 2015 |

SlaveToTheGrinds posted:Funñy thing is. The road the bar is on is called Dix. Not even really that clever. If it's the bar I think it is, it's in a borderline skeevy area. It used to be called the Atlantis Lounge. Amazing Mexican place across the street though. I'm pissed I forgot to dvr this. Gonna have to wait forever to see it on demand. I guess he passed up a Detroit Red Wings themed bar near where they play to do this place instead. Not like there's much he can do to save a bar in Detroit. The place gets slammed around a Red Wings game and then the place is barren after the season ends
