Kitchen Nighmares season finale - Chef finally walks

[Tama]

I don't think you get that kind of delusional EWness with people just wanting a show, but hey..


Oh wait, what am I saying? The people from Jersey Shore...and didn't some of the Teen Moms hope for a show?

It's getting worse...They're entertaining offers for a reality TV show.

I actually have wondered if that was actually the end-game; that they've intentionally acted crazy with the hopes of landing a series.

[PepperElf]

I'm seeing several possible outcomes here

1) Contract violation with Fox. That the very nature of the show violates their contract with Fox. Or they'll personally violate the contract by badmouthing Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares, or Fox.

2) One or both get Arrested or Investigated. That Samy will let it slip that the servers don't get tips and they get raked over the coals for breaking the law. Or Samy touches a customer when arguing with them over waiting almost 2 hours for a raw pizza.

3) Deported. That Samy's reality show won't be enough to convince the government to ignore that he lied on his immigration forms about his criminal history.

4) Epic Meltdown. Actually this one might be the only thing that helps their show survive. Like watching a train wreck, people will tune in just to see how far down the rabbit hole their self-delusion goes. And to see if 1, 2, or 3 happens too.

Isn't that what got them in this mess in the first place?

[Tama]

There's something crucial there though. They will eventually run out of desperate workers, and film crews will not be allowed to film them doing things wrong. I predict a swift end to that particularly shitty idea.

And they'll keep getting money and attention because the ratings will be awesome. People will tune in to see the train wreck and they'll visit the restaurant to see it in person. Then Amy and Samy get to keep abusing staff and customers.

My response:

[PepperElf]

according to their personal FB page "Samy Amy Bouzaglo" they're no longer taking reservations and are FCFS.

the irony however is that they continue to link to their yelp page.
seriously, after posting a link to their yelp page with a picture of a guy taking a giant-size poop for the thumbnail, why would they continue to draw attention to it?

(from what i can tell this isn't a parody page, it's been active since before the original yelp meltdown)

[Tama]

Oh wow.

Just read the Wiki, and...I mean, most of the episodes I've seen have the owners knowing they need help.

THESE people on the other hand, I...I just...

King and Queen of all EWdom!

Taking bets now on how long it takes before they try to get the Wiki article down.

[XCashier]

Wikipedia has a page about the episode. Just in case anyone's interested.

I've heard of it, actually. Apparently they only use the credible sources, not just simple gossip. There's a radio show I listen to and they use it when they air their segments on celebrities. I don't know it's exact credibility, but Amy and Samy must have said something somewhere to set Radar Online off.

What the hell is a Monte Cristo sandwich and why does it have powdered sugar on it?!

It's basically heaven in sandwich form. It's much better than it sounds. At times, it may also be accompanied by, or incorporated with, raspberry (?) jam. All in all, it's sweet, tender, crispy, hot mmmmmmmmmm...When made correctly, of course

As for the recapping the liquor bottles thing...I am not aware of any US bars that do so (except for storage purposes), unless they just do it as part of their closing procedure. Then again, I an FAR from an authority on bars

[PepperElf]

I dunno but 8 hours ago some site called "radar online" posted an article claiming that they're starting their own reality show.

http://radaronline.com/exclusives/20...en-nightmares/

I've never heard of this site before so I don't know if it's real, or just a satire site like The Onion, or the DuffelBlog.
but going back to google i see this cropping up on other sites too. so maybe it's something that'll hit the national news sites soon

I wonder if the fruit fly deal escalates, will we be seeing anything from the health department? But all of this negative attention the restaurant is getting, it makes me wonder how many nails will it take to bury ABC's coffin.

[PepperElf]

well after the fruit-fly-drink incident they can't even claim THAT now.
