This show is OK if you want to sit and watch something for 20 mins which is easy to watch and has lots of men acting like teens. Its the usual discovery/history 'reality' TV show format: * Scenes set up * Normal guys given nicknames & exaggerated personalities * Simplified process suitable for low-IQ viewing * Nothing intelligent spoken in the whole 20 mins * Juvenile behavior with grown men pranking their made-for-TV rivals * Amounts shown as 'profit' rounded up to the nearest who cares * Actors/extras employed to help give the show an even more unrealistic feel
And some other points specific to this show: * Auctions clearly take place after the event even to the untrained eye (they always have cameras on the right person during the auction- could only happen if there were a dozen or so cameras) * The clock counting down to the auction time is pointless- we all know its BS * The show doesn't want break even's as its not good TV so they show the big hits and big misses and forget the others * John Ray is bankrupt- not good for a so called expert * The total profit at the end is a complete guess- so what is the point of the show?
In review its OK if there is nothing else on TV to watch but its a completely made for TV staged production. The 'characters' act like idiots and are not likable. If the people, the houses and the auction itself are not quite reality then there has to be something about the people in it that make you want to watch it- but there isn't.
