Tanked (2011)
They're no longer in business
The brothers were so successful, the big guy divorced and moved out of Vegas, while the bald guy sold the business and now runs a pizza place.
I still pass by the ATM shop but I've heard it's no longer making aquariums. They removed the "home of Tanked" signage.
I never cared for the show, as Bret and Wade annoyed the heck out of me. While the end products looked good, I couldn't help but think the tanks were nothing more than props for the show. As many have said, there's no followups to the fish. Reports are many had died shortly after construction of the tanks. Sad.
And since I live here in Vegas, I've visited the casinos where tanks were made, and many are long gone now. Makes you wonder....
Bar Rescue (2011)
Of course it's fake..
...But it's a good show. Most of these establishments would be shut down by the county health department, so I know there is exaggeration, but that's TV for you.
The Bacon Bar here in Vegas was a rescue, and in talking to staff there, they admitted there was a ton of scripted drama they had to perform.
John did a great job refurbishing it. (I was there both before and after), but again, staffers were told how to act.
I don't care though; I like the show.
John comes across as an a$$hole, but sometimes "tough love" is what's needed.
Overall, I give it 8/10 stars, only because of the repetitiveness of it.
