‘Marriage Rescue’ Gets Mixed Reviews From Fans Of ‘Bar Rescue’
Marriage Rescue premiered Friday night and the audience who are fans of Bar Rescue came out with mixed reviews on it. Paramount Network and the Executive Producer of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer figured on the bar show that around thirty couples worked the establishments. That’s where the idea came for Jon to fix broken marriages.
Marriage Rescue showrunner’s good at bars, but can he help with relationships?
Talking to Bloomberg’s Marriage Rescue, Workforce of the Future podcast, Jon explained a bit more. He said that often the couples with marriage problems “impacted the business.” For him, it meant that he “had to fix the relationship issues.” That’s because the business couldn’t get fixed until that side of it got addressed. Jon says he never pitched the concept to the network. In fact, he says the network approached him about the idea of the new show.
In fact, they liked the idea so much they didn’t do “a pilot.” They actually “went straight to series.” Jon feels it’s all going very well, but some fans of Bar Rescue seem very skeptical. Jon’s good at working bars and fixing the business, but does that make him a marriage counselor? Plus, there’s only a limited time window for him to fix the problems. According to Cheddar, he only gets four days to fix it all.
Fans mixed reactions to Jon Taffer on the new show
Reactions to Marriage Rescue by those who follow the “Bar Rescue” show bring a mixed impression. However, on social media, it seems mainly negative. Firstly, concerns arise over the fact that Jon’s not a qualified therapist or counselor. On Instagram, one follower noted that “when it comes to relationship counseling [it] is not right. Can do more harm.” That same sentiment echoed across Twitter as well.
Other comments from viewers related to insurance, with one personing posting, “It’s too risky. Counselors have insurance for malpractice. What if a couple leaves unhappy???” This came in answer to Jon who asked what fans thought of the first episode of the show. Another noted, “This has malpractice and fraud lawsuit written all over it.” Yet another follower said, “I think its stupid John. Thanks for asking.”

Did not enjoy this show tonight. It is below Jon. Makes no sense for him to switch from Bar Rescue.
Love the show. What do you have to do to be on show. Lord k kws we need it.
Marriage rescue is on TV for a little kids to watch have a gay couple in my opinion is a total turn off to me and therefore I will not watch bar rescue or marriage rescue again I believe John Tapper made a bad decision
You blame John Taffer because you’re homophobic? I don’t know if I like the show yet… esp. considering Taffer has no degree or training to be helping couples repair their marriages, but being gay or straight shouldn’t (and doesn’t) make a difference. John’s lack of qualifications though, would be a good reason not to watch… that and the fact that I don’t see why this type of show would be popular anyway. It’s certainly not for everyone, as is the case for just about any TV series I suppose.
Jon can’t even save bars anymore (almost all of them end up closing within months of his rescues) and now he’s going to save marriages? LMAO !
