    What's with all the combativeness on shows bidding on rental unit contents?

    Talk about a bunch of childish jerks on every damn Discovery umbrella of networks from Hog ladies to Oregon loggers to swamp loggers to shrimpers to Alaska fishing.Alaskan gold mining,Alaska bush pilots,Alaska highway patrols,Alaska game wardens,Alaska momma grizzly ho governor


    So someone outbids you on a foreclosed rental unit storage lockup where just by the luck of the draw some good stuff was mixed in with the junk.What's there to get pissed about?These people acquire some experiences that can work in their favor assessing potential values but it's not rocket science.You go there and bid on what you think may be profitable and end of game.What's all the bravato where everyone needs a tough guy image?The nicest guy is the Jewish guy with the black horned rim glasses.Even that one guy's wife that looks like a cross between Tanya Harding and Jennifer Anniston is a genuine,certified,on the rag all the time pain in the ass to her own husband.After the husband idiot bids on some crap junk,she's ragging on him all day.To the moon Alice!!!!!!!!!!!

    Those shows are turning into the WWE. I think now the producers are also planting items in the lockers to make the show seem more interesting. I wonder how much the "stars' of those shows make per episode?

    All "reality" shows have scripts.

    Deal with it.

    Agreed - Just like the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc...

    My answer to the question is one, lack of class - decorum. Second, Greed.

    My wife and son live to watch these shows. The only reality shows I'm interested in are the ones that happen on the ice rink, football field, and hard court. Oh yeah, I like that chef that cusses people out on Friday nights, too.

    pawn stars, storage wars and auction hunters are pretty decent shows. Cant keep up with how many there are now but most suck.
    Not bad to have on the dvr saved so if your drunk and bored you can toss em on.

    Ha... no doubt stuff gets planted. Not unrealistic at all for someone to store a bag of krugerrands in the same unit as a two dollar particle board TV stand. Still an entertaining show.

    You're exactly right. Or a 1952 Willie Mays card while all other cards are crud. Jarod and his wife "found" $4,000 worth of silver coins in loaded safes the other night . As if the former renter wouldn't put those in their pocket before they were abandoned. Agree that it's entertaining, though. Producers are going to put their show in the best light, they're not going to show the units where a hazmat suit is needed to go in.

    Do any of you know how much the cast members make per episode by chance? I'm guessing good money, in which case there will be more great "finds" as these shows compete.
