I like the UK version with Fiona. Watching it now waiting for the Yankee game to start.

I’m still watching but it’s getting harder and harder. Robbie is an arrogant a**hole with a voice that grates on my nerves; Danielle is annoying as hell and Jersey John (the least of three evils) needs to wash his hair. I think the sun is setting on this show.

The dynamic between Mike and Frank (real or staged) was gold.

I'm a what?


But seriously, these two: Pickers and Pawn, have lost all interest to me.

UK versions of most anything is less interesting to me.


oh...and that catchphrase and how a southerner would say it:

'PRESHATE YA!'

Plus 1 agreed. They both were good on the start and then over time got to stale for me.
Now it seems to structured and scripted for both

It's evident by the comments that a key to success of the show was both Frank and Mike. Although Mike may think he is the 'Big' star and losing Frank was no big deal, he would be wrong. People really enjoyed watching Frank and he always came off as more sincere than Mike - always. He of course has been replaced by Mikes bother and Jersey. Jersey is tolerable but the brother has got to move on down the road. Mike has made his millions and should move on also. The sun is setting in the west for the show.

Yes for sure Pawn Stars is pre-screened, because they contacted me to see if I was interested in presenting a couple of items that I had for sell on ebay. I went through the interview process, etc., but that was as far as it went. I was to be contacted by scheduling but that never happened. I'm sure all the other comparable reality shows are the same - they would have to be.

Regardless, good luck to Frank - he was a joy to watch.

I still enjoy seeing all the stuff on the both shows, even if it is all a set-up.

I also sad to admit but enjoy those shows also.

Even the annoying characters were specifically picked to cause/create the tension and drama in the show to drive interest and ratings.
