why does it seem like bars/restaurants on these shows lack simple common sense?

i'm watching Bar Rescue and it's basically the bar/pub version of kitchen nightmares. i'm wondering how the bars/restaurants get so bad or how the owners are that blind/deluded. sometimes i think even i can run a bar better than them using common sense alone. :O

I think it's staged to be that bad, they earn money and the people who make the show get views it's a win-win. Though in the slim chance that it isn't then wow.. some people are just yeah...
