    It happens, my guilty pleasure is Kitchen Nightmares and related shows. Gordon and or his camera crew have been assaulted twice from memory. They get broken up crazy fast though. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more that don’t make it to camera. They are trying to tell a different story in each episode, so I am sure a brawl kind of derails that story telling.

      I don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares but I’m in the room from time to time when my dad watches Bar Rescue and and his whole schtick just comes across as really punchable

          I think part of the problem with this style of show is that they’ll write a new menus or drink specials that doesn’t lean into the strengths (if any) of the staff or take into account what people in the local area like to eat/drink. They just do stuff that’s interesting for TV. Plus sometimes the work culture is the real culprit and you can almost never change that without mass firings and if the owners the problem…

        I can’t stand Bar Rescue, Taffer really does have the most punchable face, it’s like on par with Penn from Penn and Teller.
