I've been watching a hell of a lot of Storage Hunters and the more I watch it the more I want the show to be less about Brandon and Lori (who are possibly the people who I want to see get punched by Sean in the face) and more to be about T-Money, seriously the guy is so hilarious, same with Desert Dan, same with the Alavardo Brothers, they have all these likeable people (in comparison to Brandon and Lori, which wouldn't seem that hard) and yet the focus on the two people who make snide comments, have hatred towards people just because they're doing what they're doing and they have a habit of getting in people's faces and starting fights.
Even though its stupid to get annoyed over this sort of show, if you've seen the show, you can pretty much see how obnoxious Brandon and Lori can be, I didn't mind them when they were against The Taylor Brothers but then they got more smarmy, more obnoxious and more confrontational, none of the other bidders act the way that they do, so why do they?
They're coming over to do what they're doing, how dare they!
What a couple of tools!

The producers tell the script writers to make them act that way

The producers tell the script writers to make them act that way But surely you've got to make main characters that are featured prominently at least somewhat likeable, it would make more sense if Brandon and Lori were presented as the villains of the show.

I liked when the big hillbilly guy slammed Brandon into the hood of the car.

I just like it when someone calmly ignores Brandon, like the Alavardo's did, Brandon was getting his usually bitchy self and they just ignored him, you never see people like Desert Dan or T-Money getting in fights but every single episode Brandon's in someone's face, someone should tell him and his wife to chill the hell out.

Jesse can be as much of a douche, deliberately running the price up for anyone. I did quite like Scott nearly ripping his head off once. But yes, Brandon and Lori are just damn unlikable.

I watch it, as they find some interesting stuff (The drivable barbecue/speaker system they found in one episode was f***ing insane), but I hate Brandon and Lori with a passion. I feel my hate was intensified when I realised he was wearing a "Team Brandori" shirt in one episode.

I prefer Storage Wars for the characters, also, sometimes people lose money, Storage Hunters, they'll lose like, 1% of the time if that, everyone's always making money, at least Wars gives you a little suspense.

Reality TV is a huge work.
Always has been.
Alot of these shows air over here now with disclaimers at the start stating "some scenes have been created for entertainment purposes" and if you look at the credits on some of them you will see "script writers" listed
I find it baffling that people accept the contrived situations in some of these shows as real, and you can tell alot of it is acting because it's so badly acted and all the constant outlandish situations
Yet people rag on Sports Entertainment for being scripted (which WWE haven't denied or hidden in at least 20 or so years)
The truth is actual "reality" would be pretty boring and people don't want to see that, if they showed the real goings on at storage auctions you'd be bored shitless.
