Oh, yes, DEADLOK69. Karen Overmyer is indeed a coward! I think both the dumb-ass owners should’ve taken Jon Taffer’s advice about seeking some help by getting their act together and see a counselor if they’re going to run a bar business. But, sadly, they didn’t. Which is why the crappy O’Face Bar is closed for fucking good! Also, don’t forget, that one bartender, Dave walked away just seconds after when Karen walked away after not accepting a solution that Jon Taffer offered them to save their bar business, but, no, they didn’t. So it’s their loss.

[@Wastelander1972]

I’ve actually seen all of this episode. Just so y’all know, Matt and Karen both blamed the failing business on Syk. Syk was constantly arguing in Taffer’s favor, going as far as to point out that the bar was failing because of the two of them, and the risk of Jon leaving was seriously on the table. They were absolutely insane and definitely did NOT deserve a recuse. Good move, Jon!

[@thatgirlwhousedtohavereall5549]

And then Matt was convicted a sexual assault. What a guy! 👊😡

[@Wastelander1972]

I just can’t believe they had the gall and lacked enough intelligence that they blamed the failing business on their head of security. The only guy there that was mentally 100% invested in both the fact that the business and their attitudes needed to improve and Jon Taffer’s plan being something that could help them. Jon was right. He was the only one with ANY sense. I’m glad it worked out for Syk in the end.

RM Wilson Assuming he served, he was likely out and discharged by the time this aired.
