“YYUUUUPPPPP”!
Reality Shows are fake? What a crock..Next he’ll be saying that wrestling is fake.
/s
I like Hester getting fired, he’s a jerk. As for his allegations, whatever, it’s TV.
Gee what surprise!
A buddy of mine owns a small chain of storage places in KY. He *hates* what these shows have done to the unclaimed property liquidation/disposal part of the business.
???
This guy was one of the most annoying dopes on that show. And apparently one of the dumbest.
All of those auction/pawn/trailer trash in the woods doing something crazy shows are fake! They are made from day ONE to be that way. How did he not figure that out? Did he think that actual people would leave valuable artifacts in a storage garage THAT often or that people in real life talk like they are reading lines for the forth time off a script?
“Yuuuuuuup”!
Aw, too bad.
Hester was kind of a jerk, anywise. Bids everyone up just to waste their money. “Smart” strategy that nevertheless makes you as dipwad.
Wow- Next they’ll claim “Operation Repo” and “Lizard Lick Towing” are fake... (/sarc)
He chose... poorly.
a “reality” auction/pawn/drama queen/survival show that is faked.
cue captain obvious.
only an obama phone user would be fooled.
I like the show, but you know in the back of your mind that they stage some portions of the show.
I think Hester was probably good for ratings, but I did not like the fact that he stated he would never deal with any guns whatsoever, I presume this means collectables as well.
His arrogance (whether real, or portrayed) was more or less evident in every appearance, and the female (Brandi) was ogled by all, and his obvious lust for her showed his true colors.
Over-valuing the objects purchased made him the usual "winner" in the auction results, but I believe that ALL the valuations on the garage-sale quality items was over-blown.
Yeah, like they just happen to find thousands of dollars behind a picture frame while on camera. I watched for a while then it got old.
I managed a self storage facility for a couple of years. The stuff that was abandoned was garbage, and didn’t even rise to the level of “junk”. The owner figured out that it wasn’t worth the time and effort to set up sales, so when a unit was abandoned, I just cleaned it out and threw the contents away.
I miss Dave Hester. I blame the scope mounts.
Sure Dave, we always believed that out of crowd of 20 or 30 people, the same half dozen personalities secured the winning bids, each time.
And of course we accepted the dollar values the prevailing bidder placed on the items in the locker.
Dave, I seem to recall that in the build up for the new season, you admitted to having to sell your prime store and downsize, because you weren’t doing so well....
I know it’s fake. I’ve known it since day one. I watch it anyway.
A great paradox of our age is that the most fake programming is reality TV.
The only things about reality shows that are real are 1) no written script, and 2) no professional actors. That's it. The rest is absolutely set up.
