His net worth is higher than 600k.

Here's a story on how Pawn Stars is scripted and faked:
http://centraltendencies.com/2011/03...stars-is-fake/

This would be like paying Blackbob 25k per 1000 posts. Trainwreck equals views.

A friend of my sister's went to Vegas and wanted to see the store.

When Rick and the others are there, they are closed.

The other people meandering in the background are extras that may appear on the show to 'sell' something.

I hate reality TV shows.

Even Sons of Guns lost me last year.

So Rick doesn't actually work there?

Is wrastlin fake too? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aside from the First 48, I don't think there is a real reality show.

My buddy got paid several years ago to be on Cheaters. Cheaters was initially real and funded by some holy rollers. Then the guy got stabbed and they went to all paid actors. My buddy got $250 to be the guy that a girlfriend was cheating with. It was ****ing hilarious as he had a little BMW hatchback that was in shitty condition at the time, and all the shots were dark so they narrator described it as a "snazzy sports car".

He also took some type of medicine to induce vomiting (apparently stage actors do it all the time :shrug: He gets hit in the gut in the "confrontation" scene and pukes. Said he'd never take that stuff again for a role. It made him feel shitty for a couple days.

To top it off, they weren't supposed to use his real name and they did. They just misspelled it.

I used to like Sons of Guns, don't watch it anymore.

I still watch Pawn Stars but with a different mindset now.

I was really hoping it was real but it isn't.

Sons of Guns was good when they stuck to the meat and potatoes of guns. But, just like American Chopper, once the "producers" (ya right) got worried that it was going to get boring they started to write in pre-determined plots.

Horrible acting doesn't help. ;)

Is that girl still on there?

Last time I watched it she was about to date one of the guys in the shop.

That's when I turned it off because it became a soap opera for me.

I did like it when they were just building guns and shooting shit.

That was about the end for me, too.

I think I made it to the end of the first episode of season 2, when they built the gas-piston return M4's.

From what I was told, no. Not when the store is doing actual business. None of the cast members are.

So they fired that girl will all the tats they hired, Olivia.

Evidently she was a porn star or something in her previous life.

Rick said the show got renewed for another 80 episodes, do the math on that!

In this interview he says it's all "real" which I have a hard time believing.

Just found out that The Winslow's from Family Matters isn't a real family :'-(

JFC, that is horrible.

Just how many times to the "experts" have to tell us that they are "experts" like the museum curator? "Hi, I'm the museum curator and Rick has me come down to his shop to tell him what kind of rare piece of shit and historical vallue the rare piece of shit has"

We get it you're the museum curator.

Evidently these "experts" have nothing else better to do than to wait on Rick's phone call so they can rush down there to authenticate something for free.

haha

They do that not only for people that aren't regular viewers on A&E but so that when it gets into syndication worldwide, new viewers wont be "lost", which would lead to viewers changing the channel.

Everything in TV is geared towards syndication.

I don't really care about how much "celebrity trash" makes.

Women look for men that can provide. Men look for women that can please.



It's how we're programmed...

This show is in 150 different countries and 32 languages if you can believe that.

I would say that I weep for our country's future, but now I weep for the World.

Sad

We've infected everyone with our dumbassery through these douchebags.

Sex use to sell.

Now stupid does...

Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison on Fame, Imitators And Why His Fiancée Will Never Be on the Show

What's the strangest thing anyone's ever said to you?
That they want to have my baby! [Laughs] It is bizarre how popular the show is. In South America, I'm not the number one show on cable, I'm the number one show, period. They set up a thing for me and Corey to sign some autographs, and they thought something like 500 people would show up. 12,000 people showed up. They had to call the national police for crowd control. A van pulls up with guys with big guns pop out. It's like we were The Beatles.

Wow. Where was this?
That was in Buenos Aires. I get people from Japan wanting my autograph. We're on TV in 150 different countries, 32 languages.

Example:


We watch Chiefs games.

I can't imagine who the **** watches a show called Honey Boo Boo.

JFC

I'm telling ya. Blackbob could make MILLIONS.

I figured as much, but that doesn't go with me making fun of the show. :Pinky:


This is the first time iirc that I use :Pinky: icon in a post. I need an "expert" to tell me if it is appropriate use of icon or not. I don't recall ever seeing it in any other post before for any reason. Does that affect the vallue of icon for it's usage since it is so rare to use?

Seriously. We could wipe out a lot of stupid by broadcasting a "Kill Yourself" subliminal message during that show.

We revolted on that.

Yes.

There is a limit...

Even for this fanbase.


We may be somewhat educated here, but the majority are still ****ing morons.

They are the same ones that want the Chiefs to take a LT number one.

It's why we still have an electoral college...

Rambozo is Honey Boo Boo.

Mind = Blown *scanners style*

Good for him. I really don't give a rats ass what he (or anyone else) makes, all I care about is how much I make.

25 k really is nothing. Yes its alot but you pay taxes on that its not as much as you think. Plus most likely paying an agent also.

I'm glad someone shits money ROFL

It would really suck to make 25k a week. I don't know if I could make ends meet.

Hes truly living beyond his means driving a car like that. He will most likely end up regretting it in the long run.

The show just got renewed for 80 more epsisodes.

80 x 25,000 = $2,000,000.00 for Chumlee.

**** me.

plus not sure what kind of a deal he has worked out but once the show goes into syndication residuals are involved.

That's where the real money is.

A mans gotta feed his family!!!

Some idiot came in with it and he bought it for $5,000.
