Is Chumlee actually stupid?

The guy is constantly high. I like the show for the actual negotiations and the items that are brought in. They need to cut out the scripted fake dialogue crap in between.

The negotiations are fake, the items are supplied by the producers, it's all fake.

link?

Because I knew a guy that was on the show. He brought in the item to sale and the producers liked it so they asked him if he could return a few days later when they would be filming and try and sell the item to Rick.

When I first started watching it a few years ago, there was no fake stuff in between. It was much better that way.
 
I didn't thoroughly vet this link, but it's a start.

If they have legit items brought in then they get as much mileage out of it as they can, I'm sure. But the problem with most of these reality shows is that they don't have time to just hang out and wait for cool **** to happen. They have the crew for a certain amount of time and they need to utilize them. So, if enough organic content doesn't materialize they manufacture content. It ain't like they're going to not make a show because no one brought in any cool stuff this week.
 
Would be more work to completely stage it than it would be to set aside people who come in with interesting items and have them come back when the cameras or rollin.

I'll buy that as a definite possibility. But that's quite different than the "it's all fake" comment you had earlier.
 
Organic or not, some of the stuff that comes through the door is interesting. I agree on the painful little vignettes between items. Especially when they started hitting the product placement pretty heavy.

BTW... Rick Harrison's new wife.

I'm pretty sure it's purely true love.

The show is ok. I like it for the history lesson you can get out of it (assuming they know what they are talking about).
