Ummm...you guys know that these “reality” shows are all fake, right? Don’t know how to break it to you, but the people pretending to bring things in for sale are actors. Bad actors to be sure, but actors nonetheless.

I hope I don’t have to burst any bubbles here about professional wrestling.

“Pawn Stars” is NOT “FAKE” BUT it is “Staged(yes there IS a difference)”.

“A fair amount of staging happens in the show, no question. A five-person production crew edits down and brushes up the lengthy negotiations between the Harrisons and their customers. When a person brings in a particularly fascinating item — say, a 1750s blunderbuss from an owner who wants to trade the firearm for an engagement ring — the customer might be asked to return so the crew can properly capture the scene.”

Umm... you know that blanket statements are usually more wrong than they are right, right? Why would Pawn Stars pay actors for those parts when ordinary people will line up for the chance to get their mug shown on TV, for free? Does not compute.

If being a professional wrestler is fake then so is being the governor of MN :)
