If they don't have employees misbehaving at the beginning, there's no show. You think they're gong to go to all that trouble placing hidden cameras everywhere, setting up the show, and then go "Well everyone here is solid, bar looks fine. I guess there's no show." As an aside - I used to live in the valley - every single bar I used to like has been ruined by this show. They've been turned into "mixology" bars with mostly the same shit but 3x the price and a new interior. (Pat's Bar on Riverside if you're a fan of the show.) They even ruined the only decent BBQ place in the valley - opened by an ex-gates employee. The turned it from a bar on one side and a BBQ restaurant (which wasn't bad - think Zarda - which is mega-elite BBQ for LA) on the other side - into one giant bar with shitty BBQ. I was burping liquid smoke for hours after eating there. Ugh. (Kansas City BBQ - turned into "The BBQ Bar" - even the name is stupid.) Last edited by suzzer99; 08-24-2019 at 11:27 PM.. |

Every show pushes an extreme narrative, and everyone knows what the producers want, so they play along.

I love how they are doing recon and no one questions the cameras everywhere.

What they do is contact a bunch of bars and have them install camera's in there and tell them, one of them might be visited sometime. I think i read something on how that works. They obviously know that someone might be coming, but they dont know when exactly.

Some of those camera shots arent coming from stationary cameras. It would be more believable if they werent getting recon shots from guys in the kitchen or at the bar with a camera on their shoulder.

Jim and Sam from Sirus did recon for the show earlier this year and they said that the cameras go in for like 72 hours and the bar owners are told they may or may not be selected to be on the show. The ones used on the show are the bars that go back to being shit after the first night or two.

When you repeatedly see these owners brought to tears by the positive impact Taffer has on, not only their business, but their personal lives... it sells it for me The average Joe or Jane can’t cry on cue like some super experienced actor |

Sugar Creek's finest. Seriously folks, this is why the meth jokes persist. What a f**king trainwreck.

I used to enjoy Bar Rescue until it became so obviously staged.

Okay. Fellas. This thread has got me thinking now. Why do married women have such shitty tastes in entertainment? My wife is smarter than I am, yet new episodes of Big Bang Theory have to take precedence over everything else in life. She watches all the shitty reality TV shows, too. Bachelor, Big Brother... dunno, probably this scripted bar show too.
If I try to compromise with her and ask, "Hey, if we're watching TV together and it has to be reality-centric, can we at least do something like Chopped so I can at least watch people with some kind of talent to offer the world compete in a scripted environment?" I get a lot of, "well.... I don't know...." |

Closest thing we get to reality TV while we're both watching is American Ninja Warrior. Many moon ago we watched a Top Chef Marathon, but you have to put your foot down on the bachelor shit. Find some Marvel Movie or something that's tolerable. Or, FFS, you're SNR. Just go into some profanity laced diatribe about it until it is also unbearable for her to watch it. I mean, you should be practiced up from CP |
