I watched that episode with my jaw on the floor. Either she’s a wildcat in bed, or there isn’t a prenup.

Holy shiz.

Helena330,

It’s got to be the former.  
I would be willing to bet my next paycheck that this guy has more illegal “off the books” money than legal money.  
He would probably notice no lifestyle change at all if she got every nickel he has in a real bank account in his name.  
He admitted to being a gangster in what seemed to be an honest moment… ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.  
I kept thinking that he chose the wrong gold-digging girlfriend to make a wife.  
He had to have had options just as hot as her that were at least a little less crazy.

Here’s a new review from the Phoenix Business Journal.

“Camel Toe Mafia” was how Amy referred to the “cyber bullies” on Yelp and other sites. I think she really believes there’s a whole group of people who have banded together to “bully” her online…

Once she’s no longer hot, Amy has all the makings of a crazy cat lady.

I loved the part where she fired the waitress and then got annoyed because the girl wouldn’t stay there to listen to Amy scold her. Hey, you fire me, don’t expect me to stick around to listen to you.

Amy’s hot? Maybe standing next to Samy. I find her unattractive.

When she got Samy, I’m certain she had the kind of hot a crazy chick can use to lure in a ganster with money.  
In 20 years, she won’t have that, and if she wants up homeless due to her crazy… won’t be anyone there to rescue her.  
She’s already crazy enough that if it wasn’t for him, she’d have a serious time holding down gainful employment. Frankly, I’m skeptical of that restaurant BEING gainful employment; I fear that it may be nothing besides a money laundering front.  
Margins are NOT great in restaurants, and a 10% rejection rate for entrees would make entrees, for instance, completely without profit.

Well, as people in this thread have already prophesied, the next act[could very well be a reality show about what jerks they are.](http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/amys-baking-company-reality-tv-deal-kitchen-nightmares/)

I weep for our civilization. I’m also not at all surprised. Mike Judd was right.

I noticed that, too. “Why are you crying?” Um, cause you just fired her. That usually upsets people, especially if there’s no cause.

Even in jobs that you hate, it’s almost always an emotional jolt at first if you get fired, especially if you weren’t TRYING to get fired.

Since Samy almost undoubtedly actually owns the place, in that young girl’s shoes I’d be tempted to tell Amy that I needed to hear that from both of them before I left.

I’m not sure how you make the connection between a two-bit, televised tantrum and one of the greatest scenes in movie history.
