RI was clearly inspired by the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares, but Irvine, or his handlers, replaced the in depth analysis of the actual business model, with rudiculous time constraints and copious footage of Irvine wielding a sledge hammer. I gave Irvine a pass for embellishing his resume, but his BS spin on his own restaurant failures and his petty behavior over a new show produced by the network that pays his bills and made him famous, is making me lose my appetite for Restaurant Impossibe.

How else would you get the big fake reveal that EMHO trademarked?<br /><br />That's so incredibly TV fake; do that for real and lawsuits are guaranteed. On EMHO we knew there were complex arrangements and it was simplified for kids, but in this, it just feels immoral. You have Ty being Ty and Amanda being totally authoritative -- she has ALL the tight answers. "This place won't last the year if we don't fix it!" she intones, to power up the crucial fake jeopardy. "The countertop is missing!"<br /><br />The half hour feels real messy, but very TFN: Chain restaurants take novel ideas and do them up cheap & quick, and TFN takes good TV shows and does cheap & quick versions.Valerie Meinzernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-47231862644205729382015-05-23T08:21:21.883-04:002015-05-23T08:21:21.883-04:00Television captures moments, not reality.

You spend your life looking authoritative and powerful in front of the camera and you can easily start to believe your own hype, which is deadly. <br /><br />Robert Irvine has never shown success over a long term, from resume lies to failed restaurants, but producers have hyped the hell out of him to the point where he believes it. He looks like Mr. Big Swinging on TV, so he must be that, right?<br /><br /> He seems to think that he is the magic man and the only problem is that those Tuschman and those other knobheads at Television Food Network don't support his vision. He doesn't get how he needs to step back and look at the integrity of his brand, at his own integrity. <br /><br />If he did, he would understand how public sniping at other shows just hurts him, not them. It reveals his pettiness and myopia, blaming others for letting RI go off the rails, jumping the shark and asking for retirement.<br /><br />Irvine has bought inrto the hype around him and it has poisoned him. <br /><br />Now he needs some humbling and maybe he gets another chance. Or maybe not. ,Valerie Meinzernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-87587252219461244532015-05-23T01:07:52.623-04:002015-05-23T01:07:52.623-04:00It's sour grapes.
