Storage Hunter

[Penfold]

Am I the only sad, sad person who find this blatently-staged docu-soap vaguely compelling and compulsive?

My name is Jamin, I'm a storage hunter oholic.

I've even been to their website :crazy:

Is that the one on Dave?

Nah, haven't got time, as during the day I'm too busy watching Judge Judy on CBS Reality. Riveting stuff :roflmao:
and my evenings blossom when 'Swamp People' is on. In my opinion Troy Landry should be the next president.

The only soap I see is in the bath.
once a month, whether I need it or not.

I find it annoying, and a cheap knock-off of storage wars which is actually entertaining since occasionally you will get to learn some history of the objects rather than just a dollar price.

Also I don't like the over the top bald auctioneer who wants nothing more but to shove people out of the way so he can go snooping around in peoples newly acquired storage huts.

Pen, I saw half of one episode I think, and it's utter tosh.  But it's a free world and we should embrace the diversity that's out there in TV land and enjoy our guilty pleasures :-)
Mine was always Xena the Warrior Princess, for all the obvious reasons that spring to mind ;-)

That's what I thought but quickly saw through the contrived drama that riddles all these fly on the wall documentaries, the so called rivalries and bidding each other up is so transparent... T Money, the black American who can do sarcasm like he's english.... hilarious :roflmao:

Lizard lick towing is the bottom of the barrel.

The whole show is terrible. I understand that if it was real it would just be "Oh, this lock up contains a tool box and some oversized furniture too", but if you have actors pretending to spend money on a lockup and then pretending the contents of that lockup is worth £X and then selling it making a profit or not it's not compelling to me. The whole mocumetary genre is based on the premise "This story isn't really that great...but if we pretend it really happened it might be passable.".

you guys are waaaaay too serious .

It's the fact that it's so fake, fixed and staged that makes it amusing to watch.

I guess there are plenty of people who watch wrestling, so there has to be an audience for that sort of thing...

I just find staged stuff annoying, and over the top "presenter" types even more so. At least with storage wars there is the chance that they will walk away with sod all; this show seems to have been sponsored by the auctioneers to get people down and bidding...

It's on the telly so it's entertainment.

From yesterdays show:

Auctioneer: Hey, you got some car sponges that expand to three inches..... just like your penis.

You see, how can you fail but be impressed by legendary writing?

That should go straight into the hall of fame alongside other classical wits such as Wilde, Fields, Milligan, Allen et al.
