Amy's Baking Company

I guess nobody but the producers others involved can truly say for sure, but given everything that has come to light since the episode (the facebook/reddit shitstorms, former employee testimony, etc.) I'm going to say this was unscripted.

But who cares.

The original British version of this show is much better and less sensationalized. It is shot in a more believable/less Hell's Kitchen way. No dramatic music either. However, my friend used to help to produce this show a few seasons ago. No scripts. She claims the people are just that crazy. And that was long before these crazy cat people were ever around.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ. MAY 15, 2013 -- Amy’s Baking Company will host a Grand Re-Opening on Tuesday night, May 21, following unflattering portrayals on national television.

R3v, I think we all know what needs to happen.

Scrips people....ever heard of them?

It's only a matter of time that the show took a turn like this. I mean how many times can you have the same outcome, over and over again... get's kinda boring doesn't it?

Doubt it--there's a video on youtube of this couple on the local AZ news from 2010 where they were dumb enough to go on TV and basically claim all of the same things they did in this video--that they aren't "taking any shit from people on the internet."

You can't fake crazy of this degree.

Occupy all of the 4-tops with 2 R3Vers each, ordering the same thing all at the same time with a slightly different twist. (i.e. fig pizza & blue ribbon burger med/med rare/well/hold the onions, etc.) Amy might get a bit flustered with the minutia

I don't think its script, she just seems so crazy to make it up.

Next time I hit up Pavs, I need to check that place out lolz

No way this is scripted. People like this do actually exist in the wild, the show just stumbled upon them.

It's pretty nuts, the producers had to call the cops and pay for everyone's meal (since they all had to leave) when the guy went off on customers before ramsey showed up. My guess is they are making no money necessitating them insisting on customers paying for food they didn't eat.

[FLYNAVY]

I can't watch that. Those people are absolutely insane. I would have punched that old man in the face if he tried to make me pay for a pizza that I had never received, after waiting for hours. They are right about one thing though......yelp or whatever else can definitely crush a new business. But of course, every customer is just crazy and they know what they are doing......

I especially loved her describing him as a player, with more beautiful women than Hugh Hefner. Apparently he really settled if that is true....

The server that doesn't make tips is sort of randomly cute, in a weird way though

edit: ok I had to watch the rest.....

OP, I would rep you if I could. Amy is crazy. VERY entertaining. Thank you.

new pre-pav meet up location?

Haha I think so! I wonder how they stay alive.. That's a pretty pricey area to own space in.

What were the reviews before this show? Still bad?

[Wh33lhop]

Samy refers to himself as the "gangster" a few times, reddit had some speculation of some sort of mob affiliation/money laundering front. Doesn't make sense why they'd do the show given that, but then again they don't seem like the sharpest tools in the shed.

[BraveUlysses]

Well it wouldn't be the first time some guy who sounds 'italian' makes claims like that

Well it wouldn't be the first time some guy who sounds 'italian' makes claims like that

Especially the ones with money. Gah I used to know a guy who would always pull me aside and ask if I needed anything "done" and that he would take care of it

Dude was just a loaded Italian man that played wannabe gangster becuAse they could becuAse they had millions

Cracks me up!
