Dr. Phil

Kitchen Nightmares' Most Controversial Couple on the Defensive! (12x132)

:

Scottsdale restaurant owners Amy and Sammy became instantly infamous last May, after they say they were depicted as villains on the reality TV show Kitchen Nightmares. The couple was seen berating staff, customers and even host Gordon Ramsey, who ultimately threw his hands up in the air and walked out. But Amy and Sammy claim all the drama was manufactured for television and insist that their character was misrepresented. They say that since their episode aired, they’ve been threatened and bullied by bloggers and reviewers online — and as a result, both their business and their marriage have suffered. Dr. Phil has some tough questions for the couple about their actions on the reality show — was it smoke and mirrors for TV or just bad behavior? Then, Amy and Sammy come face to face with one of their cyber-reviewers, Michael, who says that the couple needs to stop picking fights with their critics and start taking ownership in the situation. How do they respond? Plus, Dr. Phil calls on public relations expert Howard Bragman to give Sammy and Amy advice for changing their image — and getting their business back on track. What does he say they must do? And, will they be open to it?
