I am addicted to Storage Wars. It is a TV show about old storage lockers that get auctioned off. If you're wondering who buys the lockers, it's mostly people who have a lot of money or people who own antique stores. They take what's in the lockers and sell it, or keep it in their stores. The way the show works, the auctioneer opens the locker, everybody is allowed to look inside, but they cannot touch anything. Once all the people have assessed the locker, they start bidding. Some lockers go for $50 and some go for $3,000. It just depends if the bidders see something valuable or not.
On the show there are five main bidders who are in all the episodes: Brandi and Jarrod (a husband/wife team), Dave, Barry and Darrell. Dan and Laura are the auctioneers. My favourite is Barry, because he has some really fancy-shmancy-looking cars but tends to buy the worst lockers. He always says he thinks something is valuable but it never ends up being worth anything. Sometimes he is lucky and makes a lot of money on one locker. All in all he buys crap lockers.
Every Saturday night when I sleep over at the barn there is a Storage Wars marathon on A&E and that is all I watch for about two hours amongst other things, such as eating and doing night check at the barn. I am really excited because there is a Storage Wars: Texas version that aired for the first time last Tuesday. My friend got me addicted to the show when we were on Vancouver Island horse shopping. (If you're wondering how the horse shopping is going, don't ask. Too many people have asked me and I am tired of explaining.)
To sum up, Storage Wars is my favourite reality TV show. But really, no show can compete with Castle.
