i thought last nights episode was pretty good. it was nice to see gordan help out that kid as he seemed to be dealt a real shitty hand. its sad to see that they closed as the owner seemed to be genuine. the fact that they had to close makes me wonder how much of an effect the constant delays of the start of the show will have on these establishments.i think it was originally set to air in april.

all of these places are in terrible financial trouble, some only a few months away from closing. for most of the hotels going on a show like this is a last ditch effort to stay in open, as few people would want to be subjected to all of the drama if nothing was in it for them. they are in it for ramsey to spend some money and fix things up as well as give advice, but it seems the main reason would be for the publicity of being on tv and last nights establishment never even got a chance to see if the air time would pay off.
