Undercover Boss

[MarcB]

Is anyone else on this board a fan of Undercover Boss? Was anyone else disappointed that there weren't more well-known companies featured on the show this season? I think unless they get more well known companies on the show they're going to cancel the show. This season they featured some sports bar that only had 7 locations. They also went undercover at some junk store with 28 locations called Forman Mills. The only reason I even heard of Forman Mills is because I'm a moderator on a Retail Message Board. And then this past Friday - they featured Armando Montelongo - the guy formerly of A&E's Flip This House who rips people off all over the country with his scam real estate seminar classes. *UGH*

I watch the show and I agree this season has been weird. Some shows I just scanned through

Bikini's had a first. A actual firing at the "sitdown". Foreman Mills the only reason I knew about them is because when I watched ECW wrestling (the OLD ECW...) the ECW (now 2300) Arena was just down the block (they use to talk about it on the show)

Yeah the Flip House guy I scanned through. Don't get why they had him

There's a finite supply of businesses willing to participate in such a show. I scratched my head at the Armando guy myself. This may be the last season for the show, not because it isn't interesting or well produced, but because they simply can't line up interesting businesses.

I'm a fan of the show. I found it shocking that the one man paid to have the girl's breasts enlarged, and then fired the other girl who should have been given a chance because employees who were worse than her had been given a chance.

I know from personal experience that bad workers are usually kept over good ones, so I wouldn't have been surprised.
