That was such a beautiful summer 'Tea dress' that Alex wore on this episode and she looked stunning, which obviously wasn't lost on Milad...Most of Mary's criticisms of Alex's ideas seemed to be based around her jealousy of her looks and her insecurities over her husband..
@Silversled just wow. I wrote a much longer comment. I am just gutted. Alex worked hard to come up with a plan and make introductions to help them find success. It seems like a once in a life time opportunity wasted.
I do not agree. Alex did stay because she is a pro and it is normal in her job of consultant to be" fighting "with people like that. You can clearly see that the woman is controlling with her way and taste and the husband let her do things even if HE does not agree with her; he loves her and wants to make her happy. It is a nice and sweet couple. It is complicated. And I really admire Alex is doing her job in spite of the situation.
There are so many interesting dynamics with this couple. She was so emotional and reactive in the beginning, of course she had preconceived ideas about being attacked by Alex, she even eluded to it before Alex arrived. So the first time she got the chance she decided to assert her dominance, which almost backfired. The next scene I could see a little less (weeee little) stress on her face and in her body language. By the end she looked so radiant and beautiful. But hands down I wish Milad and Mary has a TV show, they are fecking adorable together. They are the type of couple you know were born to be each other’s one true love 💜 he knows how to sooth her spirit so fast, a real husband submerges his intelligence in learning his partner, what a success. And her defensiveness behind the counter was fear based. “My husband has a heart condition will you take care of me when he dies????!!!” She was saying, we can’t do anymore, I need him. God bless them. I have truly never met an Egyptian I didn’t like lol. I saw a comment that mentioned a 2018 negative review. Here’s the deal. You can be the most beautiful, juiciest, delicious peach in the world, and there will still be people that don’t like peaches.
It is ABSOLUTELY against the law. It contravenes our very strict Health & Safety regulations. A hotel cannot even have a window that you're unable to open. Building regulations in the U.K. Require ALL bedrooms to have a window. You have to have access to be able to escape from fire.
Mary Fields I think she is so naturally beautiful, I love her dangly earring, but for some reason the way she dresses isn’t very flattering, then her walk is very masculine, so I bet if she wore slacks, and flats it would look better. Not a criticism in any way, she’s a fox!
I am surprised those would be rooms in the basement, did not appear to have any windows, what are the building codes like in the UK? That door needed the hinges cleaned, and silicone spray instead of WD40. So obviously there are little to no suggestions made in the revisit episodes then? The backyard still looked less than attractive, what was with all the posts around the new patio? I doubt they are building a fence around that little area, and the lawn needed tending. By reading other comments, the reviews of the Paramount are not positive, too bad to see another of Alex's remodels go south again!
Those posts have LED lights on top and do provide illumination and look quite nice after dark. They are quite popular now and are available in both permanent and temporary install models for use at events.
30 minutes of a repeated footage only 10 minutes of revisit. Why bother making this episode? That being said Alex saying that they “get on her tits” is something I could hear everyday. Alex is truly a national treasure.
I also feel sorry for their children, they have no thought for them atall and how their appalling irresponsibility is going to affect their kids futures - no money, no inheritance, no university, just debt. the woman is a horrible manipulative narcissist and shouldn't be allowed to have kids. sorry that's how I feel
That woman is fucking ridiculous! How can a fully grown person behave like such a child?! Mind you, Alex should've done the breakfast room in a bold colour. She would have still done a good job and Mary would have had a chance of liking it.
The wife, Mary was ungrateful and uncouth. The husband was very pleasant. Alex should be the one wearing the hideously gigantic evil eye necklace. Mary should work on her throat and third eye chakras.
Not at all impressed with Mary's attitude. Horrible at the start, difficult in the middle and totally gaslighting and ungrateful at the end. Her husband seems like a very nice fellow.
I want to like these owners... but it just comes across as a cheap, smelly sh*g pad. I know this is a old programme but even back then its just a yucky place where id spend money for people NOT to stay there. Who the heck is a contractor who's wanting to stay there?!
Why do shows like this always make you watch the original episode again? As a viewer all I need are the highlights of the original episode. I don’t need to see the whole damn thing again. Hit the highlights for the first half of the show and the second half show me where they are now. Show me what’s happened to the hotel and its owners. Because really that’s why I’m turning in this kind of episode. Not to rehash the original. The keywords here are highlights. Hit the highlights and then catch me up. That’s why viewers watch an episode like this.
Some of Alex’s outfits are just as bad as the decor in this place. That red and white dress is awful, and the black one with the yellow star on the front ! And what’s with that brown frame on screen! No fire exit from those basement rooms. That would be illegal in Australia But Alex is lovely
She's very emotionally immature. She behaves like a child because she hasn't developed the coping mechanisms that emotionally mature people have. She's probably high on the narcissistic scale.
I don't know why Alex has such a problem with a mattress without a mattress protector. How does she know if it is washed after every use, she doesn't check enough of it. The female owner is a petulant child.
Without wanting to sound racist, I do think the ethnicity of hoteliers has great bearing on the success of their businesses. The standards of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants are very different to those of other nationalities, it is ludicrous to buy into a hotel end expect 'here we are, come and stay with us' without doing any sensible research on the customer base initially. It is these owners failures that is contributing to their own downfall.
A huge cement pad outside? These people are hopeless, leave them to sell it, as they will have to. Why do the British put the towels on the beds? Its not where they are used.
sorry if this is controversial - but this just shows why Brexit is such a good idea - other cultural norms and ways of behaving and treating other people are sooooo different to our level of consciousness and democracy in the UK
rachaelsas I don’t know how Brexit enters into it, but one thing for sure when the wife says “If I like it, other people will like it” I kept thinking to myself “Not British people, Dahhhling!” Culture clash there.
@@hmmcinerney yes, some stereotyping, not very well thought out on my part, but I wasn't talking about ethnicity, i was talking about my perception that if you are brought up in a totally different culture, with different beliefs and political structure, then move to another country, you would have a different way of going about relationships and business, until you adjusted (if you chose to) to a new way of doing things. People are just human beings wherever you go, but I was talking about cultural bias / conditioning.
rachaelsas what you said makes absolutely no sense. British people move to countries abroad too yet they don’t adapt to the culture or learn the language. Should they move back to the UK then? People don’t lose their ethnicity, culture, traditions or beliefs because of where they live it is a part of who they are. Also, Alex is Italian but she lives in the UK. She still embraces her culture. Maybe this before you write something.
That scene with the squeaky hinges was priceless!
Alex is amazing she always looks so elegant and she helps so many people in there hotel business
She does and what always amazes me is that people ask for her help and then disregard it!
No she doesn’t, it’s all for tv….total bs

Love Alex...tough woman in a tough industry. I find her 'darling' as endearing not patronizing.
She reminds me of Edwina on AbFab.
Yes me too.... Also it softens the F. #k when it's necessary😅
My mother is of British heritage. Her terms of endearment are to call people ‘love’, ‘dear’, and ‘darling’. It is in no way meant to be patronizing!
alex polizzi is a very clever woman. I admire her poise. she def knows her stuff.
Can't believe they completely messed up Alex's restaurant makeover. How ungrateful!😮
2018 reviews said that "even a brothel can't smell this bad" so I dont think they learned much!
Alex your such a classy lady ! I can't believe the idiots you deal with! But it makes great tv ! Keep up the good work gorgeous lady x
The door sounds like a clubbed baby seal.
I wish I could say stuff like - "Its just an exhausting way to live, Darling"
I used to work for trust house forte in Sussex. Great people to train under, high standards, fair treatment, opportunity to progress, loved it ❤
Some people are just not worth helping. The 2018 reviews of this hotel are just as bad as the ones before Alex made her first visit
Oh wow 😮
It sounds like an absolute dump, and the owners (whom I’d previously thought to be sweet), appear to be trash.
Are they even still in business? I am not seeing 2019 reviews, let alone New Years eve (12/31/2019)
@Silversled just wow. I wrote a much longer comment. I am just gutted. Alex worked hard to come up with a plan and make introductions to help them find success. It seems like a once in a life time opportunity wasted.
Darling not having a matress and pillow protector is like wearing your trousers with out your jocks.
What's wrong with that ? :P
As soon as they didn't meet her the very first morning, Alex should have left. Do they think the world is just like them?
That woman is IMPOSSIBLE.
I do not agree. Alex did stay because she is a pro and it is normal in her job of consultant to be" fighting "with people like that.

This episode was hilarious had me in stitches
All reviewing original episode unil 32:34 when "Return" actually starts...
Thank you. I've never seen a return episode so poorly done as this one. Big waste of time
Thank you for this comment, it was super helpful 👍
That basement is a death trap. Don't they have egress laws?
Alex, ain t none better. Ur video would be included in my monthly employee meeting.❤️
Awful hotel - loads to choose from in Nottingham, who on earth would want to stay in such a dump

Why do I have a feeling Mary wrote this.
They have dreadful reviews on Tripadvisor . Cold rooms , dirty baths , strong smell of weed and more . Guess they didn't take Alexa's advice .
Aren’t there building codes in England? Those sleeping rooms in the basement would be illegal in Canada as there aren’t any windows. Fire trap.
There any lots of hotels in England with rooms with no windows,it’s complete legal
I wouldn't worry about it, its unlikely that it will ever be finished.
youtube videos - but probably no building permit.
It is ABSOLUTELY against the law. It contravenes our very strict Health & Safety regulations. A hotel cannot even have a window that you're unable to open. Building regulations in the U.K. Require ALL bedrooms to have a window. You have to have access to be able to escape from fire.
The wife still drives me nuts.
Alex sounded like she had fo fortify with a glass of wine before checking out that Hotel again. 😅
Egypt standards are well below UK standards , they never seem to learn this on these programmes.
Is this women serious? She didn't like the breakfast room? Her decorating was trash.
It's a case of Not Invented Here Syndrome.
She’s completely TASTE FREE!!!
They threw away a golden opportunity. The reviews linked below are atrocious. They heard nothing.
9:48 God, I wouldn’t mind looking like Alex in this shot!
She's beautiful. But that dress looks like someone stabbed her.
Mary Fields I think she is so naturally beautiful, I love her dangly earring, but for some reason the way she dresses isn’t very flattering, then her walk is very masculine, so I bet if she wore slacks, and flats it would look better. Not a criticism in any way, she’s a fox!
You must be a man. Lol
It is good that this couple did learn from Alex, even if it wasn't perfect.

What a lovely couple, I can see that the builders staying there would really like them.
I wouldn’t last long in a room with that wife. She’s histrionic and just a pain in the arse, quite frankly.
What a chip on her shoulder that Mary had. She should have walked out.
I’m astonished Alex stayed and even more astonished that she went back for a second try.
The place is still getting terrible reviews.
37:16 I think Alex was having a genuine flashback
30 minutes of a repeated footage only 10 minutes of revisit.
Why bother making this episode?
That being said Alex saying that they “get on her tits” is something I could hear everyday.
Alex is truly a national treasure.
The squeaky door.... 😂😂
In the USA the basement rooms would be thought of as a fire trap.
what kind of ventilation was there down stairs, hypoxia, is near ??
I also feel sorry for their children, they have no thought for them atall and how their appalling irresponsibility is going to affect their kids futures - no money, no inheritance, no university, just debt. the woman is a horrible manipulative narcissist and shouldn't be allowed to have kids. sorry that's how I feel
what the heck is up with Alex"s voice? Is the speed of video a tad slow?
Something is very off with Alex’s voice. I didn’t even think it was her until I looked closer to the video. Very strange!
I adore this couple, so humble and humorous, this is a comedy blockbuster 🤣🤣
The recent TripAdvisor reviews are almost all terrible. Some from 2015 were glowing, but it didn't last. Very sad.
That woman is fucking ridiculous! How can a fully grown person behave like such a child?! Mind you, Alex should've done the breakfast room in a bold colour. She would have still done a good job and Mary would have had a chance of liking it.
12:32 She could be a great voice actor or a professional human special effects. Eeeee... eeeee... eeeee...
🤣Milad you'll be gone soon...
These two are awful. They probably own the building outright so don’t really need to earn a living. Horrible towards Alex. She’s a Saint.
This cupple is either annoying or funny but not both, Im struggling to decide. 🤔 I'm leaning towards annoying.
The wife, Mary was ungrateful and uncouth. The husband was very pleasant. Alex should be the one wearing the hideously gigantic evil eye necklace. Mary should work on her throat and third eye chakras.
That woman was just seriously awful……I can’t believe Alex didn’t walk out on them!
female owner: I'm always right....
that's probably why the place is empty....
11.00 horrible breakfast . I would not eat that !!
i wish we could have same people in all industries
One star reviews 2020. Cannot polish a turd
Not at all impressed with Mary's attitude. Horrible at the start, difficult in the middle and totally gaslighting and ungrateful at the end. Her husband seems like a very nice fellow.
I like the restaurant except the squeaky door. Mary is much more chilled
funny couple! :-) I would like to have such an attidude- a lot of laugh and smile
They are a bit bonkers but seem to be quite happy.
Il ya t il des versions françaises ?
How can they display any rating on their signage when it’s clear they are not up to standard
Lol my city 😂😅😂
I want to like these owners... but it just comes across as a cheap, smelly sh*g pad. I know this is a old programme but even back then its just a yucky place where id spend money for people NOT to stay there. Who the heck is a contractor who's wanting to stay there?!

I live in Nottingham & know exactly where this shit hole gaffe is… boat migrants staying for free wouldn’t accept this accommodation
If that’s a Turkish Empire, I’ll pass.
Wo actual bats

And what’s with that brown frame on screen!
No fire exit from those basement rooms. That would be illegal in Australia
But Alex is lovely
wow...she is very strange woman, she's not right in the head
You have got that right 😂
She's very emotionally immature. She behaves like a child because she hasn't developed the coping mechanisms that emotionally mature people have. She's probably high on the narcissistic scale.
If youre talking about Alex , I find her very foul mouthed . Seen a few of her shows and shes FK this FK that and flying off the handle at times .
Why post a cut off screen ?
Would be legal in the 🇺🇸 US code in my country requires a window latter or a out side door
they are so lovely together. She is from Egipt , too?
Beware of the flying bats
I would Not help her WITH HER BEHAVIOUR
Alex Polizzi is a sort!
Comments on the Paramount Hotel original posting, now indicate that place is used by the Council ho house the 'homeless'. Welcome to reality.
Mary is so rude I wouldn't waste my money on that hotel. And money is no option to me.
I love Mary & Milad, they are a lovely warm couple!
Hi Mary!🤗
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍🥰🤗
Are you trying to avoid copyright protection on your own video?!? :-D
Firstly thanks for uploading this episode but why does it have that frame around it 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Alex Ryding copyright reasons, same goes for the less than perfect other videos on a full screen.
That woman is so rude to Alex. Awful
I don't know why Alex has such a problem with a mattress without a mattress protector. How does she know if it is washed after every use, she doesn't check enough of it.

Looks lovely and clean, all the best to them both ❤️💐

What's with the sound quality? Alex Polizzi doesn't have this bass a voice!!
