    Some of the finds in the series Storage Wars are placed in the lockers,
    according to ex star of the programme, Mogul.



    OK, it isn't a shock, but doesn't faking ruin the whole concept?

    More importantly:
    "Reality TV" is bloody boring.
    The characters have less depth than the members of the professional wrestling circus.

    I think Dave Hester is just pissed - he was dismissed from the show... and then fired a lawsuit over said dismissal...

    I might enjoy wrestling if it wasn't faked.
    I was a great fan when very young.
    Once I realised as a child that it was faked, I stopped being interested.
    When I visited a friend's house, aged about ten, I realised that his parents believed in the obviously fake acrobatics.
    That made me confused because I had previously expected that grown-ups knew more than I did.
    I despised them really, which I now feel uncomfortable with.
    Should I?

    I agree, he is trying to ruin the programme because he is not on it any more.
    But you realise it is faked, right?

    I liked the old series better, with Brandi and the guy who shouted "Money"!

    It wouldn't surprise me if it were to be honest - after all, how many people actually abandon storage lockers with items of value inside (unless, I guess, they passed away?)

    I'm sure there is added value in selling the stuff,
    but the proportion of interesting collectibles is suspect.
    If there is a pile of old newspapers, you can be sure that some of them are about the Titanic disaster, or something of similar historic importance.
    It is amazing how when they find, say, an old slot machine,
    that there is an antiques shop selling the exact same kind of items locally.
    A cynic might think that they borrowed the item from that shop.

    My sister can't believe I watch the programme.
    She can't even watch one minute of it.
    Yes, it's rubbish, but I still like it.
