Storage Wars - Die Geschäftemacher

They claim nobody has seen inside the lockers until they cut the lock on the show.

Except on one episode when they rolled up the door you could see a piece of paper already in the locker with information about the filming date in large letters. Apparently, the locker owner was psychic. And the logos on name brand items are already taped over when the door rolls up. So they have clearly been in the lockers before taping. But they still make a big show of cutting the lock off.

Otherwise it is just too random that in so many lockers with stained mattresses and bags of old clothes there is also something very unique and valuable. That's what I put in my storage locker, empty boxes and a priceless artifact.

I liked this show at the beginning. It has fascinating characters like the arrogant Dave Hester, the eccentric 'collector' Barry Weiss, the Sheets father and son, and young couple Brandi and Jarrod. There is an exciting bidding process. This is also a treasure hunt.

Now comes the problems. The first problem I noticed was the pumping up of the bids. It's exciting to bid higher and higher prices. The show fell into that trap. Once they started to bid higher, they can't seem to stop. The prices became ridiculous. Like an addict, the highs stop being exciting. It is such an obvious annoying setup that the bidding half of the show is now unwatchable.

The show was always prone to faking. The pieces were priced with questionable appraisals. The fact that the characters were paid by the show is not really news. Then planting pieces really blew up. I was willing to accept a few pieces, but the wide spread planting really hurts. It's obvious that things are rigged when every week, exactly 3 of the 4 teams get lockers while 1 team walks away empty handed. EVERY TIME.

The bidding process is now very boring. The characters are wearing a little thin. Dave Hester got booted for possibly complaining about planting of pieces. I still like to see the different buys whether planted or not. Overall, it's not the same anymore. It may have been a 7 at the beginning but it is no more than a 5 now and dropping.

Whenever I see the overbearing obnoxious Dave Hester on the show I turn it off. I cannot stand him ruining and otherwise good shows.

Guys, calm down. It's a reality show, of course it's fake. Even though it's fake, it's extremely entertaining. You always want to see what they find, even though the producers planted it. How fun would it be if they didn't find anything in the lockers? It would be a bad show, like every other reality program that isn't fake. If you can even name one. Overall it's an enjoyable show, nothing too special, but i'd say it's worth your time. The producers did a great job of finding characters to appear in the show, for example: Barry, Jarod and Dave. It's always fun watching them bid, or even cheering a bit yourself in your living room. It's a good show that will keep you hooked at least a season.

I am so tired of watching the same scenario over and over it's a different locker but same scenario oh you gotta get this checked out it's the one thing that was planted in there and I freaking hate Dave he should be kicked out of there yup.
