Phurfur 70 Posted December 12, 2012 NEW YORK – “Storage Wars” may have a real war brewing with one of its stars. Dave Hester, a former cast member, has filed a lawsuit against the show, according to RadarOnline. In the lawsuit, Hester is claiming the series is fake, and he says when he made complaints to the network about the staged portions of the show he was fired, Radar reported. The popular A&E reality show follows auctioneers and buyers as they bid on various storage units blindly and then raid their purchases in hopes of finding treasures. According to Radar, Hester claims show producers plant valuable items in the units to presumably make the show more interesting. The suit also claims the show rigs the bidding process. In one part of Hester’s suit, he goes so far as to say the network paid for one female cast member’s plastic surgery to increase her sex appeal and make her more appealing to viewers.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 12, 2012 I thought it was common knowledge that they planted stuff in those lockers to make them more interesting and valuable. I watched portion of 2 episodes the other day with the Mrs. and that is exactly what I said to her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if all "reality" shows had chicks with huge t!ts, we would all watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 822 Posted December 12, 2012 I thought it was common knowledge that they planted stuff in those lockers to make them more interesting and valuable. I watched portion of 2 episodes the other day with the Mrs. and that is exactly what I said to her. I never knew that. I thought that was the whole point of the show - the interesting crap found in storage lockers, WHICH WAS LEFT BY THE PREVIOUS TENANT. I wouldn't watch that show either way, but that's gotta kills some of the fun for viewers. "Gee, I can't wait to see which items the network will put in the locker this week!"

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted December 12, 2012 Also Storage Wars: Texas They tweaked the spinoff....this one has two hot chicks. That Vic dude lives in Tyler. We ran into him two weeks ago when we were getting passports for our daughters. He said the shows have rooned the business by driving up what they have to pay. Thought he was a big deal. He asked the guy doing his passport if he recognized him from tge show. Passport guy: Nope. Don't watch it. Isn't that one step above dumpster diving? Vic: Yeah, but we have to pay to do it.

The Moz 69 Posted December 13, 2012 I never liked Hester much, anyways. Barry is one funny fock I watch when nothing else is on and i agree Barry is the one worth watching. But Hester was, good in his, role as the guy you loved to hate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southcarolina 166 Posted December 13, 2012 But Hester was, good in his, role as the guy you loved to hate. I just loved that sometimes he showed up at the auctions sometimes for no other reason than to drive the price up for the other bidders. He would win zero lockers and leave with a grin.
