Yea, dude’s a douche nozzle. Entirely unsurprising he’s the one suing and trying to cash in.

Agreed, I’m not a fan but Mrs. Radar doesn’t let a reality show go by without giving it a chance.

STorage Wars
Hardcore Pawn
Pawn Stars
South Beach Tow

etc......all steaming piles. the only one remotely interesting is Pawn Stars just because I like hearing about the history of some of the stuff etc.

I watched an episode last night. I'll catch it every now and then. But, yeah, the only real reason to watch is Brandi and her jubblies.

Her boyfriend is a colossal douche though and spent 18 months in prison for drug dealing. She's entirely too attractive for him.

But what level of crazy is she for marrying him and having kids with him?

I need to call in a buddy who is an expert in Pawn Stars before I can respond to this post.

Okay, my buddy says it's legit, it's worth 5 grand. I'll give you 50 bucks.

Yeah, I KNOW he just said it's worth 5 grand, but you have to find someone interested in Pawn Stars willing to pay that. Do YOU know anyone like that? No? Neither do I.

My favorite was the guy that showed up with the ejection seat out of an F-4, saying it was WWII era, and how his grandpa willed it to him. If THAT wasn't staged, then nothing on any of these shows has ever been staged.

LMAO

I somehow got sucked into that live bike build challenge that aired last night as well. That sucked ass as well.

see that last build from Paul Jr.? lmao. What..........the..........****.

James bike was infinity more cool.

I laugh at these silly competitions, particularly because nobody understands what Jesse is doing and recognizes how unbelievably difficult it is. The fact that second place went to a customized factory harley pretty much says it all.

I used to love watching AMerican Chopper; now it's comical. Yeah, get a pre-made frame; throw a fender and a gas tank on it along with some reeruned looking accesories...........CUSTOM BIKE!

Yeah. I like the Grease Monkey guys better than the rest of the douchebags, but their bike was elementary compared to what the others did. Jesse James is an artist, but he's also a ****ing dick.

There's a lot to like about Brandi. I have a feeling that it won't be long before somebody steals her away from that junk dealer she's currently living with. All it's going to take is a higher bid, I'm afraid.

Yuuuuup

Didn’t watch the competition you’re talking about but I can imagine.
James can take a flat piece of sheet metal and with a hammer, sandbag and English wheel can message it into a fuel tank or fender. Paul Jr. typically takes a tank that someone else built, puts it on a frame that someone else built and about the only thing he actually fabricates is some bolt on chrome trinkets.
That about how it went?

anybody have an... um.... link for this?

pretty much
lol. What.......the...........****.

OR, Jesse James build off bike...which is bad ass IMO
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HTmyzgvXJI...jessejames.jpg

and I think Jr. won that build off with that POS.

If I remember correctly, Jesse asked Jr. how far he could go on a tank of gas and Jr. said about 20 miles. Apparently, Jr. built another bike that can't actually do anything useful.

I remember watching "the making of" one of their promo deals (it was a video shoot of some sort) and Jr. was riding his famous spider bike on some nice, even, flat blacktop and the webbing started falling off. They had to stop production until somebody could come up with a wrench and a ball-pein hammer so he could fix it.

lol. nice.
when American Chopper first came out, it was really great to watch. now it's just a 1 hour long commercial for whatever company they're builing a 'custom' bike for.

and that Jason Poole kid, who 'designs' them, needs to get another occupation. because he sucks at it. his 'renderings' look almost cartoonish.

He is, by far, the worst "designer" I have ever witnessed. Ever.

The suck is strong in that guy.

Wondering whether any of these shows is real or not is missing the point. It's still entertaining. My son and I watch these all the time. We laugh at the obvious fake stuff, question other parts, but in the end, it's still good entertainment.

The actors like Barry, Jarrod and of course Brandi make it fun to watch.

Now if you tell me Gold Rush is fake then it's game on!

I can't ever remember hating anybody as quickly as I learned to hate Paul Sr., and I've probably only watched a combined total of 20 minutes of that show over the years. All I've ever taken away from it is what a complete ****ing douche that dude is. The only way I want to watch a show about people like that is if they get eaten alive by something at the end.

I really liked Orange County Choppers for about two seasons. After that, they jumped the shark for me. It was the same damn thing every week and I finally realized that the bikes basically suck and are probably unrideable.

Same thing with the Storage Wars guys. I liked Barry and Brandi and always hoped they'd find something really good. After awhile, though, it just got real boring and stupid.

I rarely watch television so it's tough when the 1 or 2 shows you watch turn out bad. Right now, my favorite show is Duck Dynasty and I was very disappointed in Jase's performance before the HMO board. He acted like a total pussy. One more show like that and I'm back to making up my own programs in my head.

The very first season was awesome. That's when they were really a shop. I enjoyed Season number two, just because the in-fighting was too rich to pass up. Then, it became a caricature of it's former self, and staged beyond belief....I just couldn't stand it any longer. Now, it's a Hollywood script with guys who used to build bikes

Seems mostly kinda real, at least in the beginning. A rag-tag bunch of guys trying to scratch and claw their way to fortune with equipment held together with string and duct tape.

But now, they have top-of-the-line mega-equipment. And I'm sure the producers helped them locate a spot with a lot of potential and that would be good for filming.

Gold Rush is good. Jungle Gold is a bunch of bullshit.

He embodies every douche bag boss I’ve ever had that I’d love to take a shot at. By shot I mean punch not gun.

Yeah, I think you nailed it. The producers help them out a ton. Just like Storage wars where all of a sudden they're all driving around in brand new cadillacs supposedly paid for with storage junk.

I brought a casserole.

saw somebody post about this on facebook, and didn't believe it was real....

The casserole, albeit somewhat lame, was nevertheless a nice thought on the part of Mamaw Duck. On the other hand, Jase's weak-ass performance before the board was disheartening and actually somewhat enlightening.

Jase is all big talk when it comes to his family, frog-hunting, crawdads, and the dumbasses he works with, but put him in front of people who have actually integrated into society and he suddenly transforms into a skinny, ignorant, embarrassing pissant.

Very disappointing.

Jesse James is in a league of his own.

He's a ****ing hater, seems like all he does is bitch about other people. Im good with them kinda people.

"Storage Wars" star Mark Balelo killed himself today by carbon monoxide poisoning ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources close to Balelo tell us he was found dead in his car ... which was parked and running in the garage at his auction house in Simi Valley, CA.

According to our sources, Balelo had been arrested for a drug-related offense on Saturday.

We're told when Balelo got out of jail he was distraught, and asked his fiancée to come over because he was afraid he might hurt himself.

We're told they met at his office on Sunday, they talked for a few hours, he took a 4 hour nap -- and when he woke up seemed better.
The fiancée left Balelo at the office Sunday evening. We're told one of Balelo's employees found his body Monday morning.

Balelo appeared on a handful of "Storage Wars" episodes over the past few seasons.

Law enforcement sources tell us an autopsy will be conducted tomorrow.
