Storage Wars: Texas

Bimbo Mary Padian

Watching the Texas version of Storage Wars you might think everyone from Texas is obnoxious .... all the way from this cute little Bimbo to the extremely over weight loudmouth men with their fake Texas drawl. What gets me about Mary besides always acting goofy is her pricing of things as she pulls them out of the locker. She's the only one that way over estimates the value of stuff ... I mean WAY over.

What the whole program needs is what they actually get for stuff when it's sold. These people are supposedly store owners and we never get to see the stores let alone how they are run and realistic pricing.

Storage Wars - Quien da ma$

Quien da ma$ in Spanish on SKY Mexico

I actually like this program BUT ....

A crazy collection of characters bidding on what is supposedly abandoned storage lockers from California to Texas.  Next to impossible to tell if anything is rigged from pricing to what is in the lockers. What is really funky is the locker buyer goes through "the junk" they get to claim what they can get for each item. You can price anything but you still have to sell it.

One "contestant" Dave Hester (the guy you love to hate) had a law suit going with the producers about faking the locker content among other things.  He's back to hate again !!

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.
