Jarod and Brandi were missing from tonight's first episode. Was there some type of serious scheduling conflict?

It's so weird seeing so much of Nabila. I like her, but I'm afraid of getting too attached, if she's just going to be like Tori from Saved by the Bell.

Carl, I think Texas is bombing. It is on and off the sch and the newer eps seem to be even more edited than earlier ones. They picked a really bad cast for it.

As for J&B, I do think this was around the time of them expanding and redoing their store, so perhaps they took a little time off from the auctions to deal with all of that. i wouldnt mind them being spun off into their own show and Neb taking their spot tho.

And i LOVE Shipping Wars!

I did wonder why the show was off the schedule so much - is it down to ratings? I think the biggest problem is Moe, who just makes my skin crawl. The Smith guys are also dullards.

I like Shipping Wars but I'd like it a hell of a lot more if they did not have to have talking heads every two seconds. I like the younger people more (even if the woman reminds me of Michelle Bachmann). The man with the long hair who constantly pops up to yell about how stupid other people are gets on my nerves.

My thought is Brandi and Jarod were low on funds while this portion of the season was being filmed in part due to the expansion. It's felt like they're replacing them with Nabila the past two weeks. Hopefully the pair will come back strong later on.

I really like Shipping Wars, the balance of the old and tested versus the newbies really works for me. I even enjoy the guy with the long hair, it's funny when he dupes them, and it's even more funny when he gets egg on his face. The one on ones do feel very scripted though.

I dont think A&E is trying to replace B&J unless they are spinning them off or they are quitting. They must know how popular they are, based on promos for the show both on tv and the web as well as viewer feedback. I just think they likely were low on funds and very busy/stressed during the remodel of their store.

Dave can go. I wont miss him.

I'm watching the second one now and Jarod and Brandi were back, thankfully. Then I hought Barry was missing. Then he came as some type of way too annoying homeless man disguise. Is he watching reruns of the Carol Burnett Show?? The only part I enjoyed was the auctioneers reaction.

You know I wonder if Nabila is possibly replacing Dave, not Jarod and Brandi. I just realized that she basically serves his purpose (antagonist and arrogant). I like Dave, but I also kind of feel like he and Barry are both reaching their limits of caricature.

Jarod and Brandi were definitely on the second episode but despite buying a locker they didn't get the usual focus buyers get. At least it felt that way to me. So there's been three new episodes in the past two weeks and they didn't appear in two of the three. It feels like they're recurring cast members at the moment. I definitely think the story behind this is probably that they were low on funds for maybe the second half of the season.

Nabilia really likes Dave so I've felt they've brought her in more to change the dynamic of everybody hates Dave. But with Dave threatining to leave she also could easily replace him.

Jarod and Brandi don't act like they're married at all. I remember thinking they were brother and sister when they first came on and I was thinking about that the other day... They still totally make me think bro and sis not husband and wife. Nabilia and Dave show each other more affection.

Tonight was the season finale for Storage Wars? It felt like one. The season went by so quickly.

I find Darryl more tolerable when they have his son taking more of a role.

They seem to keep dancing around money issues with Jarod and Brandi. If they aren't back next time I wonder if that is why.

Barry had two whole episodes without any annoying gimmicks...I hope this is a start.

I'm not sure if it was or wasn't but it did feel like the season finale.

Up until the last episode it did feel like they were weaning us off. Unless Jarod and Brandi close down the business I think they'll remain a part of the show even if it's in a more minor capacity for a while.

So season 2 of Storage Wars Texas will debut in March.

I was confused at this list as it looks like over half of the first season was never shown and they skipped a number of episodes. Did they ever give an official reason why?

Is Shipping Wars over now? I am still not as into the show as I wish I could be, but they seemed to have toned down the talking heads (or I'm used to them) and that annoying couple finally got off their a$$es and did something.

I saw a "Reality Weekly" in a grocery store, and it looked about as cheap as I had expected. They had a tiny little cover photo of Jared, and a one page article inside, with a stock photo of Jared and Brandi. The article was about how Jared had once been in prison but he had turned his life around. They also dragged up some DUI or something on Brandi.

I would think that this type of magazine would be able to get a real interview with Jared and Brandi - I doubt they're asking big money, and I might be interested in buying a real interview with someone like Jared/Brandi, or one or two others from the Storage Wars franchise. Instead, the whole thing just seemed a little tacky and like a bad cut and paste Internet zine.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
