Scribbles about TV: My Random Obsession with Bar Rescue

The charts for this week were basically the same as last week... so I figured I'd talk about something I love to hate: Bar Rescue.

And I don't really even love to hate it... maybe I hate to love it? That makes sense to me too. Anyway every single Sunday Spike has a marathon of Bar Rescue... and for the most part... I watch it like its church. And its not necessarily because I love Bar Rescue that I watch it... its more because nothing else is on on Sunday, I don't like Sports I have no interest in The Olympics... so for me... its Bar Rescue or actually going out and doing something with my life. And even if I do decide to do something with my life... usually Bar Rescue is still on when I'm done trying. So... yeah. Its basically Stockholm Syndrome. I love Bar Rescue because it has me hostage all day every Sunday and I just love it.

And the funny thing is... I ALWAYS complain about it on Facebook too. I'm always like "Okay these people on Bar Rescue are crazy!" Or "There's a bar on Bar Rescue called Hooch... wtf?" And yeah. I don't know why I feel the need to talk about Bar Rescue on all of my social medias... but people need to realize how crazy and amazing Bar Rescue is. I have over 200 friends... they all gotta know about Bar Rescue right?

I'm also slightly astounded by it... It seems that when they change the bar the owners have little say as to what the theme is. This could be different than they make it look on the show... but its weird right? Like I can see why the famous Pirate bar was failing... but the owners didn't want a bar for business people... they didn't ever say that's what they wanted... the people from Bar Rescue just kind of changed it based on the location... but it wasn't something the owners were passionate about. And sure, it seemed like the owners weren't really passionate about the bar to begin with... but it was just kind of like "Okay... no one had any say in any of this... and it failed."

According to this website about Bar Rescue Updates... 72 of 112 bars are still open... 37 have closed and 3 have sold. So I guess those are pretty good statistics... better than I expected... but it seems like a lot of the older bars are the ones that closed... so of corse the newer ones are opened as of right now... but they could close at some point. There have been 2 re-rescues I think... maybe more I just saw Murphy's Law and 2nd Base have been rerescued. A lot of owners and regulars aren't happy with the Bar Rescue experience and how the bar looks after and what happens after. Its kind of sad. I was watching the marathon today and there was one Jazz Club that they re did so nicely and the owner seemed really nice... and its closed now and that just makes me sad. A lot of them close before the episode even airs... which is why I think they have the updates from like 6 months later or something short like that. It makes it look a little more successful than it is.

Anyway... the thing that made me laugh most was Spike's promotion of the "Bar Rescue Labor Day Weekend Marathon" because there is literally a Bar Rescue marathon every week. I don't know if Spike has any other shows besides Bar Rescue and Lip Sync Battle because that is all I ever see on there. And sometimes a re-run of Cops.

So there you have it... my weird thing for Bar Rescue! Hope you guys like it!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
