"We don't allow slutty bitches like you here" — Page 10

One reason I prefer Restaurant Impossible is that the host of that show shuts down whiny owners with an inarguable fact: "If your restaurant was as perfect as you say it is, you'd be a success and I wouldn't be here. Your restaurant is failing. I am telling you WHY."

I've seen Hotel Hell, but that is not the same type of show at all. Hotel GB is more like Hell's Kitchen, but with many different makeover hosts overseeing different groups of the hotel staff and training them to run a hotel. The staff are currently unemployed and looking for jobs (some with prior records, seeking to pick up skills and turn things around). Guests (including some wealthy socialites and celebrities) have the option during the week of training to either pay, not pay, or tip excessively. The team with the highest in tips at the end of the training wins and one person gets offered a full-time job at the hotel. The proceeds go to charity.

I loved it, but unfortunately, it was canceled after the first season due to poor ratings.

Jordan, I agree that's what it boils down to. But she also says at the top of the show that they've lost a lot of money since that Yelp review and--the part she doesn't get--her response to it.

But you're right: She still believed everything was hunky dory and that they were just the victims of online bullying.

God, I hope that's true. LOL

So they decided that what a money-laundering scheme needs is a big shot of publicity? Lord . . .

And physically assualting a customer.

Though this does make me think about one moment that I found interesting: When Amy grabs her cellphone to call the police on the "pansy," Samy gets pretty hysterical, telling her not to call the police.

Jordan the restaurant is failing- they said it hadn't been profitable in six years. Her obsession that everything was fine was just another false premise she hung on to.

I'd go with you.

They'd have to be, right?

Pretty sure that if she wants human kids at some point, she should ask Celine Dion for advice.

I know that someone posted they hired a PR company and have rescheduled an opening, but there's a little more to it:

The couple has retained PR firm Rose + Moser + Allyn, and yesterday's press release states that "[On Tuesday,] customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business for six years." They will only allow a limited number of diners into the restaurant on Tuesday, who will be screened via e-mailing the publicist first. Also, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to "a charity organized to bring awareness to cyber bullying."

WHAT??? They will SCREEN who they let in on their grand opening? I wonder if they will have to state (and sign) some sort of agreement that they will only post positive comments!

OY, these people are nuts. You can tell that THEY told the PR folk exactly what to say in the PR. Sounds just like Amy.


Full Article -- but nothing much else new.

I find it hard to believe the full press release was written by ANY professional. It is HORRIBLY written. The only thing that even remotely points to the PR firm actually being involved is that the email address provided for "reservations" for the grand opening DOES look like it belongs to the firm.


It's odd that the press release is linked to the FB page.
