Here is a picture of Jarrod, Brandi, and their two kids. They seem like a nice family. I think Brandi is told to be bitchy, and also they edit things both to only show when she is most bitchy, and to make it look like she is directly confronting him when she is not.

Jarrod had some run-ins with the law when he was younger, and he seems to have cleaned up his act pretty well.

BTW, Barry is like a multimillionaire. It's nice that he doesn't just outbid everybody whenever he wants. But that's why he never sells anything.

The one reality show I did NOT like was "Extreme Couponing." After that show aired, they made it tougher to get good coupon deals. Also a lot of that stuff they did was easy. It isn't tough to find freebie deals for stuff like mustard but then the folks buy like a 20 year supply of the stuff. Also the most important part of couponing is RESEARCH. Somehow I don't think the viewers would get too excited about watching someone staring at a computer screen for hours.

BTW, I get asked by a lot of cashiers why I don't participate on that show and I always answer, "Because I'm too good and I don't want to reveal all my secrets."

That's true. Like what would you rather have: A 20 year supply of mustard or a brand new laptop computer? Well, guess what? I got the latter via coupons. Also FREE gasoline. However, I don't want to reveal all my secrets because to do so would ruin it.

Oh, and I do a bit of the Barter Kings routine. My favorite maneuver is to pick up a couple dozen bottles of FREE body wash via coupons and then trade them for a bottle of Grey Goose vodka.

I sometimes wonder if Jarrod's involvement in the show serves mostly as a advertising vehicle for this "Outlaw Apparel." Jarrod never wears anything else on camera. I guess his son wants to grow up in the family business.

And, of course it rigged, faked and set up. I don't care. I like the show, and it won't be the same without Dave.
