Tim "Ripper" Owens wanted his bar to mean less touring and a chance to slow down. Instead, Ripper's Rock House gives Jon Taffer a menu of problems, including poorly priced wings and drinks that don't measure up.
"Failing Celebrity-Owned Bars That NEED Bar Rescue" brings together past reality-show segments in which a recognizable name is no substitute for running the place. The former Judas Priest singer's Akron venue shares the compilation with San Francisco's Sam Jordan's Bar, Marshawn Lynch's Rob BEn's in Oakland and Alade Aminu's Bar 44 in Georgia.
At Rob BEn's, Taffer uses liquor-tracking results to confront the team about overpouring and unpaid drinks. At Bar 44, he questions whether the basketball player's jersey number means enough to local customers to build a brand around it. Different owners, very practical problems: what goes into the glass, what leaves the kitchen and whether anyone is checking.
The compilation collected roughly 33,000 views in its first seven hours, making it the most watched of Bar Rescue's two new uploads and its busiest video right now. The other arrival carries the suitably expensive-sounding title "Who can afford this?!" Some viewers of the compilation are asking for complete episodes; others are picking out Lynch's appearance and the family's interactions with Taffer.
The channel's subscriber count held steady, while daily viewing is above its usual level. Love Island Australia is also enjoying stronger-than-usual daily viewing among nearby reality channels. Back on Bar Rescue, the older stubborn-owner compilation and the pizza collection remain active, keeping difficult personalities and difficult dinners in circulation.
