   I was pissed Bravo tried to force me to watch by saying that RHOBH was going to be on for 2 hours. I was watching the fight between Brandi and S (can’t spell that girl’s name) and then all of a sudden Vanderpump Rules is on.

   I planned to watch. Just on my own time.

   Because my \human verification\ is button fly (which seems to be fitting for this show), I must ask… why can no one have a plain, old fashioned spelled name these days? Ugh. Between TNT, the Gypsies, RHOM, and all the rest, I want to scream!

   Somebody please help me out here. Remember that show about the bar with the 20 somethings who got into fights every episode, then one of the gals got into a fight with a stripper who showed up at a party at the home of the guy with the girlfriend who had alot of tatts?

   I am pretty sure it was recapped here but for the life of me, I can’t remember what the title of the show was. I don’t see it on the Hot Show list, probably because it wasn’t.

   In any case, this show reminds me of that show. The only thing I like about this one is that Lisa is there.

   Oh God! I couldn’t get through the 1st 10 minutes!! Who gives a fuck? It’s servers, I can’t get worked up about the exciting lives of servers.

   Did it get any better after the 1st 10 minutes? I still have it in the DVR. Should I bother going back to watch it???

   I didn’t much care for it, smarlo

   It reminded me of a low budget show like Saddle Ranch and I was disapointed.

   I was expecting a show about Lisa and how she ran her business. I wanted to see her involved with the kitchen, the front of the house, changing menu items and her exquisite taste when it comes to the flowers. I wasn’t expecting a show about a bunch of classless fools.

    ♫ Scheana is a star fucker ♫

    (Sorry. Somebody was going to do it sooner or later. Even though he’s not much of a star)

    Stassi calls Scheana somebody she wouldn’t surround herself with. Which is 2 times stupid. 1 because you can’t surround yourself with 1 person. And 2 she doesn’t mind surrounding 2 yrs worth of herself with a boy that talks about them having sex. In his 1st ever scene that’s supposed to be where he introduces himself to the tv viewing world.

    Then she turns around and insults people’s stuck up Swedish relatives. Plus either tells a lie about her mama. Or throws her under the bus for being Delusiona. Which is not to say that people’s stuck up relatives don’t ever have bad judgment. Or a baby on the wrong side of the blanket. Whether they’re Swedish or not.

    I ♥ Lisa. You know the only reason she started that restaurant was to get a spin off. I bet she picked Stassi for the same reason.

    Her daughter’s friend my left hind foot. For 1 thing Pandora’s a grown ass woman. That’s old enough to walk down the aisle and get pronounced man and beard by the power vested in the internet.

    You’d have to be able to jack your disbelief up to the ceiling to believe Lisa’d let anybody cray cray as Stassi get within 50 ft of all that breakable glass unless Miss Andy was paying for it.

    @Robin “… I wasn’t expecting a show about a bunch of classless fools…”

    You weren’t? Have you met Bravo?

    I guess not.. I expected that if Lisa put her stamp on it, it wouldn’t be as bad as it is.

    It is trash and I rekon I didn’t expect her to sell out.

    OMG I couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes. Life’s too short to waste an hour watching a bunch of whiny 20-somethings bitch and moan about how hard their life is being servers in Southern California.
    I, too, expected more from a show with Lisa’s name on it.

    Thanks for taking a bullet for us Alejandra.

    I couldn’t be more uncool if I tried. Not only did I watch this, I went to high school and am FB friends with Tom-dating-Kristen’s mom.

    I put the names of these people into the Toddlers and Taras name translator, and here is what it said…
    Stassi = Stacy
    Scheananana = Shana
    Jax = Douche

    I don’t know if I will keep watching. Too many unlikeable people and too little Lisa, but I’ll read the recaps. My captcha is “bone dry”. Not a good sign, especially for a bar.

    Oh you learn something new every time you watch Bravo. Stassi? Who would have thought that the girl who’s name is an extra s away from having the the name of the East German secret police would have a tude?

    I love Lisa but this show is just awful, well based on the first 5-10 minutes because that is all I could tolerate. The whining and bad rendition of The L Word’s relationship mapping in the intro was enough for me.

    I am utterly shocked that Lisa allows her employees to behave as such. Makes Lisa look like a fraud from what I have seen on RHBH.

    If Lisa cares so much about her customer, why have a show at one of your restaurants?

    Ok, haven’t seen this yet but dying to say, whoever the fug one is on the commercial who says “they’re all really attracticve, sorry!” is the most hideous of the bunch.

    Fuck that.

    Hello everyone! I am a lurker/occasional participant in the gasm. Stassi in all of her awful glory has inspired me to comment.

    I have served on and off for 8 years. I am currently a server in Chicago and I have some random observations as someone in the industry.

    1. No one who is in the industry and not a complete asshole would say “waitress” while waving their hand. SO RUDE! The term waitress is kind of demeaning, especially when combined with a hand gesture or snapping .

    2. The waiver ordered Don Julie-O…. its pronounced Hulio, so now I know that kid is an asshole.

    3. When they were talking about pooling tips I almost choked on the food I was eating. Pooling tips is AWFUL. All it does is encourage people to be lazy because you get the same amount of money as everyone else no matter how much work you do.

    4. Stassi the horrible would love pooling tips because she is lazy.

    5. Most of the scenes of the staff “working” were obviously fake, why don’t they have drink tickets at the bar and what establishments allows its staff to openly drink like that?

    6. Stassi told her manager he is a dick and she wasn’t fired? Come on Bravo at least pretend that these people are decent employees and not just around for the cameras.

    Sorry this was so long, I was outraged by this show. I am a HUGE Lisa fan but this show is just annoyingly fake. Every cast member said in the first episode that their ambition in life is to be famous. I don’t find vapid, average looking famewhores that give the midwest a bad name to be all that interesting.

    Realy disappointed that Lisa would produce and promote this crap. I felt myself losing brain cells as I watched the other night. My sympathy is with you Alejandra at having to watch this every week and do your recaps. In spite of the total dreck that is this show, I know you will do a great job with the recaps.

    I guess Blavo was afraid people wouldn’t watch, because I had no intention of watching and was duped into watching by the segue from RHoBH. What’s her name, Sclera? Sceana, Sheena,? whatever and Stassi. Ho hum. Pooling tips is beyond stupid, it just enables the lazy like Staff infection. I don’t think I want people wearing gauzy little scarfs with no undergarments serving me food.
