If you've stuck through six seasons of the show, you've seen rude, arrogant, combative and uncaring owners before; some you knew would never change and would run the business into the ground, and some you still hoped could make it after everything Gordon did for them. But in all six seasons, Amy and her husband bring it to a whole new level.
You ever seen the crazy cat lady from "The Simpsons"; that messy-haired mumbling lady that has a bunch of cats and throws them at people? That's Amy in thirty years. And that's being nice.
Oh my God -- you thought Chappy didn't listen, well... you have no idea what not listening is like until you've met Amy.
Amy not only can't take an ounce of criticism, she makes strong efforts to ignore it, while her husband helps back her up (when he's not busy hiding the truth from her, on purpose).
And remember the annoying Gen and Alan from Burger Kitchen? How Alan blamed a secretive conspiracy from Yelp to hide good reviews and destroy Burger Kitchen? Well, that's Amy only she takes it to a whole new level: everybody is against her, from the staff, to the customers, to people not there, to reviewers, to Ramsay himself. I didn't think it was possible, but Amy actually makes Gen not as annoying as Gen is.
But we've seen complaints before. Amy and her husband (who looks like her father who'd she probably push down the stairs to collect inheritance) decide to yell, threaten and call the police on the customers. Even telling them to never come back, when Amy and he are in the wrong.
As Gordon would say, "Wow, wow, wow." And that poor waitress. Amy disgustingly said she was a poisonous viper. Perhaps Amy should look in a mirror and replay this episode. She acts as if there isn't such a thing as video tape to replay what happened versus this fantasy world she's concocted where the "haters" (everybody who doesn't like her food or complains: in other words, the majority of the county) are the only problem and she's the princess on the white pony who is above all the ants.
I've rooted for restaurants. I've wished ones could turn around. I've wanted bad owners to step aside and let the place and the rest of the staff succeed. And I've hoped a small few would just shut the place down and stop prolonging the agony. Amy and her husband are the first people in six seasons that I want to fail; I hope everybody stops coming, I hope they shut the place down and lose money, and I hope somebody more loving gets her cats. If she treats her husband and customers this way, one can only imagine how those poor cats are. It's awful to have to say it. I hope she fails. She doesn't deserve success. And what Ramsay did at the end, was the the correct move; they would never have turned around. They need therapy. Years of serious therapy. And I pity that eventual therapist in advance, let me tell you. And I pity her garbage man, her mailman, the local stores she shops at, and anybody who crosses her path. And her poor neighbors, I can only imagine.
They have no business running a business, most especially Amy. But there's the problem: she has no business interacting with other human beings (and possibly cats). I want her to fail, but not starve, so what can a girl (I won't insult the female species by calling her a "woman") like her do to make a living? Now that's a conundrum.
Apparently in the next season Gordon revisits the place. Too bad William Dozier isn't alive to tell us: "Will Amy change her ways? Will Amy's Baking Company shut the doors? And will the community take this abuse forever? Tune in next time, same Bat-Amy-crazy time, same Bat-Amy-crazy channel! The worst is yet to come!"
