PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

7. "RE: Storage Wars" |
On a given day, we see about a third to half of the auctions available. Naturally, they're going to focus on the ones where the main characters win (unless Mark shows up). As for hit after hit -- we're two episodes into the season. The red ink is coming.The entire cast has complained that fans of the show appear at the auctions just for the fun of bidding them up. (Also, see above.) Wonder how many lockers got dropped on them when the main five cut out ahead of imagined schedule? As for fame going to their heads -- I did see an online review of Jarrod & Brandi's thrift store which was complaining about how high the prices were. For a thrift store. Apparently three dollars per CD is unthinkable in California. Who knew? Other people said that if you were polite, you could get an autographed picture with no fuss and the store had DVD sets available, but that was about it for visible fame-riding. Then again, it's hard to trust online reviews. I saw someone bashing Dave's store with such fury that my first instinct was 'troll'. Supposedly this person had seen urns used for storing pet ashes being resold as vases, screamed at Dave about it, and got thrown out of the shop. Dave's a lot of things, but among them is 'dog lover'. I don't think that's a line he would cross.

10. "Unleash the Germans!" |
*snicker*Barry is becoming more inspired in his gambits. The pity with that one is that it's only going to work once -- but oh, wasn't it glorious while it was in operation. I'm starting to become really curious to see him show up on another reality series. Say, Survivor. He might just wipe the floor with the entire field. I'm not joking. And it's nice to see Dave take a slime bath every so often. I realize he has a business to run, a family to support, and times are tough -- but that 5k Barry got out of his hide stands as partial payment for a very few of the times he's run Barry up for the fun of it. If you can't take the karma, get out of the chi. And no one gets out of the chi.

That piece has always been humorous to me..."... we have a sofa, I'll get $350 for that..."
"...here's a drill and some bits - 50 bucks..." Yeah. Right.

18. "New York debuts." |
Chase me out of the facility, willya?Two immediate standouts: the bidding is saner (for now) and I don't believe JoeP's street shoutout for a second. Plus if you can run a pop-up sidewalk store without drawing three hundred tickets a month, you're either a police officer who's slumming, having sex with one, related to one, or you're a deity incarnate. I have doubts about that last. For those who missed the OT thread: I was onsite in one area when filming rights were being arranged for the series.

There's a limit to what some people are willing to pay for the honor of having paint thrown on them.

22. "Daveless." |
The new season begins tonight, and the commercials feel somewhat -- empty. We have Jarrod & Brandi, Darryl, and Barry. Naturally, we're not going to have Dave, although I've heard -- from Dan via media article -- he's still showing up at some of the auctions. (Because as the logic goes, if you feel they're rigged with good planted items, why wouldn't you try for a few treasures?) But remember all those new faces the editors were trying to sell us on during the second half of last season? Their attempt to find The New Dave doesn't seem to have gone well, because none of those people are featured in the ads. I dunno. Maybe -- despite all previous evidence -- most of the world doesn't like costing people money just for fun. At any rate, Dave shouldn't be Yupping up at any auction with cameras present, so we are entering a post-Hester world -- one where prices might be a little lower and the last-minute screw-you bid is not endangered, but its father isn't feeling well. Arguably no great loss -- but can the show survive without its stock villain? Perhaps RussHell would like to try his hand at yet another trade.
