"Storage Wars" participant gets kicked off show and sues

[WhenItWasAHobby]

I've watched this show occasionally and was skeptical about the circumstances and situations involving the auctions. It really couldn't be a true public auction with only the same four parties always winning. Now one of the regulars, Dave Hester, claims much of the show is staged and is not really a "reality show" and was given the boot and now he's suing the show.

Here's the lawsuit:

Personally my biggest problem with the show was Hester himself grossly over-estimating his winnings and acting like no one else was worthy of being in the show with him. I don't know what kind of agreement or contract Hester had with the show, so I don't know if he even has a case, but it all has the appearance of a lot of sour grapes. If he doesn't like the way the show is run then nobody is forcing him to participate. Why he has to sue them mystifies me.
