A&E Storage Wars - interesting show :)

[Balt]

Bummer. I kind of liked the show, despite hating most 'reality tv'.

 

[TwiceOver]

I firmly believe they plant stuff in the lockers on Auction Hunters but I'm not sure one way or the other on Storage Wars. I remember seeing a roundtable with the Storage Wars cast and they commented about how they 'never' find firearms (maybe once or twice in all their years) but Auction Hunters finds them about every show. In addition they pull out all sorts of other wild crap but Storage Wars is much more believable.

Auction Hunters says up front that these are stories of some of their buys.

Other than that, yeah I don't think anyone believed that either show was real.

So it is staged, yet that was okay when he was on the show?

 

[AmdEmAll]

I don't think SW is faked, the producers of course like to ramp up the drama between the bidders who dislike each other. In a small way it's like "Deadliest catch" where you just HAVE to find out if those pots are gonna have crabs, in SW you just HAVE to see who's gonna score and who's gonna get burned. Now if your referring to any show on True-TV every one is staged, not even worth watching at all, what's amazing and sad is a show like "Lizard lick towing" is actually watchable to some, ugh...

Agreed.. I don't understand how people can watch LLT. Terrible obviously scripted white trash show. Although I admit Hardcore Pawn is entertaining.. but im from Detroit area.

Ill still watch the show cause of Brandi. Nice hooters

Sounds like it got worse over the years.

I hope, though don't expect, that ultimately we'll as a society tire of these 'reality' shows because we'll know they are nothing but scripted crap.

 

[SAWYER]

Wow Im completely shocked..not really. You would have to be a dumbass to think these shows are real

Dude, it's faked. Go read the lawsuit

That's what Hester claims.

 

[rsutoratosu]

Almost all the shows are rigged.. I stay up till 2 last night watching it.. so funny... the only thing I like about the show is his hat Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!! and his trucks..

so in CT, there are storage lockers for sale also and they warned people, you say anything from the show, you get kicked out... so funny...

I walk around my trading floor and go yuuuuuuuuuuuup a lot now

The relationship between the network and Mr Hester already seemed frosty going back to this time last year -- he wasn't invited to the A&E Christmas party, the site reported.

Did she get the endowment before the recent season or prior to that?

 

[aizdaman]

I always figured the show was staged but its nice to know that my suspicions were confirmed.

I am not convinced the show is staged, for one there are many random people at the auctions trying to get a locker, were they in on it too? If not they could have reason to sue right? Even if the producers put stuff in the lockers the auction can still be real and trying to value the stuff is real. Granted i would like to see real world sales prices not estimated values, but some shows would never air or take forever to complete.

Sure. There just happens to be a camera on each person bidding to capture every bid for the show. It's pretty easy to put together a crowd for very few dollars.

I'm genuinely surprised that anyone thinks this show is legit and even more surprised that anyone involved in it thinks it is.

They don't always get the outsiders bids on camera.

 

[olds]

I can't stand Hester. The show will be fine without him or his shitty attitude.

 

[preslove]

I am absolutely baffled by the fact that people could find that shit show entertaining, or believe that it isn't scripted.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

modern day treasure hunting, its a pretty entertaining show. that being said, i would not be surprised for one second to learn some of the items are staged. dave seems like a true grade-A asshole, i dont think many people will miss him

 

[tboo]

Whoa, just read that Darrell once found a dead body in a storage locker.

 

[RossMAN]

What's the appeal of this show?
