Top Ten Forces of Nature - Recap
<-- Previous EpisodeNext Episode -->Anthony reviews the first five seasons and the top ten forces of nature that he encountered.
#10: Insect Insanity
Anthony checks a room at the Sevilla Inn in Ft. Lauderdale, and finds dirty filters and stained furniture. When he examines the bed, he finds bedbugs. He orders everyone out of the room and calls in a bedbug-detecting dog, Ozzy. Ozzy and his owner inspect the rooms, and a professional exterminating crew comes in to clean up. They check one room and find a bed filled with thousands of bedbugs. No one on the crew was bitten by a bedbug, and the owners put a proper maintenance plan in place.
#9: Tiny Terrors
The Hotel Iguanazul in Costa Rica has problems with mold and supply sheds. The inspector finds a termite infestation and shows Anthony how they go from the trees to the roof of the hotel. One tree contains a million termites
Extras
Anthony shows the owner of the Dude Rancher Lodge how to give the guests an authentic Western experience, and ends up going riding. In Greece, he goes jumping into water runoff from Mount Olympus. And in the Florida Keys, the crew finds a manatee and lowers a camera into the water with it.
#8: Bear Essential
Anthony checks out the Glacier Bear Lodge in Alaska and finds major problems. The carpet in a room smells and the toilet ring is falling off. A tissue is plugging up a hole in the screen, and the stairway railing is rotted through. Anthony then went out to fish to see what fishermen wanted, and goes out with C&W; singer Glen Morgan. A brown bear shows up downriver to fatten up for hibernation.
#7: Creature from the Black Lagoon
At the High Meadows Inn in North Carolina, Anthony walks the property with the owner, Dzenko, and comes to the pool. The owner uses it as a fish pond and Anthony tells him that it's disgusting. The hotelier says that it's unacceptable and dangerous because of the low fence. Dzenko jokes about it at first but eventually realizes that it's a problem and fixes it.
#6: Don't Inhale
Anthony goes to the historic Holbrooke Hotel and finds dirty pillows and lots of dust in the rooms. The potted plant is dusty and has thousands of dust mites. Later, Anthony finds a linen closet infested with dust mites and shows the owner. The vent there is dirty, and Anthony makes sure the place is cleaner before he leaves.
#5: Don't Look Up
The University inn at Emory is losing money in the major market of Atlanta. The bathrooms are dingy and the bathroom fixtures are rusty. He checks the adjoining Guest House and finds holes in the roof. When he checks in with the contractor one morning, he tells Anthony that he heard something moving on the drop ceiling. Anthony meets with the maintenance man, the owner's son, and he admits that he's not surprised to hear. They look in the ceiling and find rat droppings. The exterminator comes in and discovers that roof rats have been swinging across to the building, leaving a grease mark. They figure the rats have been there for several months. After Anthony leaves, the owners fix the hole the rats are using to get in.
Other Animal Encounters
At the Victorian Inn, Anthony finds a guest with a cat on a leash. The owner of the CitiGarden Hotel carries her dog Yepi with her. And in Florida, Anthony pulls over to check out a man trying to capture an alligator. The alligator hunter warns that he's had calls about pythons in two local hotels.
#4: Disgusting DNA
Anthony goes to the Autoport Hotel in Pennsylvania and while inspecting a room, uses a forensic blue light on the furniture. He finds semen and the head housekeeper explains that swingers used to come there.
Other Human Forces of Nature
Clips are shown of sheets with urine, human feces floating in the toilet, and semen.
#3: Better Off Outside
At the Woodstock Lodge in Woodstock, NY, Anthony checks a cabin and finds a filthy daybed and blinds. When he checks the toilet, he discovers that there is no sealant on its base. The hole leads to the septic tank and the smell is overwhelming. When Anthony advised the owner to shut down, he refuses and Anthony leaves the job unfinished.
Most Extreme Weather Moments
In never-before seen footage, the camera crew deals with subzero weather while filming at a ski lodge. The sound man, Enrique Larreal, skis to the bottom of the mountain as fast as he can due to the extreme weather. At the Dream Inn in Daytona Beach, a rainstorm almost washes out the team's renovations. During the same shoot, designer Blanche Garcia collapses of heat exhaustion.
#2: Hardheaded
Anthony goes to the Alaska Hotel & Bar, and discovers that the bar is occupied by locals. The bar manager wasn't friendly toward Anthony, who immediately says that he doesn't like Hotel Impossible. Blanche has a local sculptor make an iceberg statue, and they unload it off of the truck. It falls on Blanche and they call an ambulance to check on her. Afterward, Blanche tells Anthony that she has a hard head and she's fine.
#1: Operation Sandy
The Hotel Impossible team goes to Seaside Heights and takes on three hotels as well as the reopening of Baby Beach. When a storm rolls in, they put up tarps but a pool remodel was almost washed out. At Baby Beach, Blanche hopes for a break in the weather so they can finish by the next morning. Anthony runs around and tries to help as much as he can. The storm clears out the next morning but did a lot of damage to the beach project. There are electrical cords in the water that washed up, and they move their shop further up the beach. Despite that, all of the renovations are done on time.
