The episode that took place where I worked was certainly not scripted. Assembled in a flattering way for the organization? Yes. But the dialogue was certainly not scripted. This particular boss wouldn't have done it if they had told him what to say. (I was peripherally involved in it, IE, knew about but didn't have…

Have your mascot be a chicken, and call it "Peckers."

Charlie Sheen played himself: a bit of a drunk and a womanizer, with a nice house in Malibu or some shit and rich because of television work.

I can envision the producers being genuinely surprised that they couldn't get this guy to see what a prick he was, and decided that letting the world know what an asshole he continues to be was their duty. Like you said, the formula hasn't changed until now, and they could've justifiably scrapped this episode for not…

I'm picturing young, hot college men in midriff baring shirts and ball-hugging shorts. Lots of giggling, lots of bending over to show their man-cleavage. Lots of puns on the menu - like foot-long hot dogs, mozzarella balls, etc. etc. The flat screens in the bar show a variety of shows, from "Girls" to "Sex and the…

You can hire Doug Guller and offer him a dick implant.

To play Devil's Advocate a bit: why should the show only feature heart-warming episodes? Let's be real, many CEOs are assholes and beyond help. Nothing wrong with showing that.

It's the CBS formula; lukewarm titillation under the guise of "OMG, Look at what a ladies' man this character is!" or, "OMG, Look at what a pig this boss is!". John Stewart coined it beautifully: The Disapproval Boner. It's porn for people who go to church twice a week.

Where the cocktails are the stiffest.

CBS finally has a show people are talking about. I'm sure they are high fiving themselves as I type this.

C...BS?

I caught about .2% of the episode after leaving CBS on post-Broncos game and the bartender also told the undercover jack hole that management was incompetent and she was actively sending out resumes/looking for a new job, so maybe that contributed to it?

I think at this point we all fully realize that reality shows are scripted to a large extent. But because CBS might have "scripted" scenes where a woman gets fired for not wanting to wearing a bikini top on TV and having a CEO gleefully rewarded with breast implants for doing well at her job is not a reason to just…

Yeah, I don't think the fact that a CEO of a "breastaurant" is a sleazy sexist jerk is a OMG KEYSER SOZE moment for any of use, really. It's that CBS offered said jerk a spot on a highly visible primetime show and tried to pass it off as heartwarming gobbley goo hopefully without anyone noticing how vile this shit…

People will still go there bc as a whole, we have really short attention spans and unfortunately, customers of this kind of place think women are pretty much titties & a warm hole. You can get shitty bar food anywhere. These people need it brought to them in a swimsuit.

I think you're on to something; it's like this entire episode of Undercover Boss was filmed as a joke segment for Two and a Half Men or something.

Well, we ARE talking about a network that moved mountains trying to make Two and a Half Men last forever, so I assumed that my disgust and mostly not intentional boycott of all things CBS always included their love of sexist BS

I'm also guessing that although she agreed to wear a bikini top while working when she was hired, there was no mention at any point of cameras or national tv crews filming at the restaurant, so I'm wondering what grounds he even has to fire her.

If the employee did not want to wear the bikini on TV and couldn't opt for the t-shirt, why fire her? Just let her go home for the day or don't film her. Firing her is just being an extra big, gaping asshole for the fun of being an extra big, gaping asshole. And I can totally understand her not wanting to be…
