7. A&E Admits to Staging Elements of the Show
During a panel discussion about reality TV, Storage Wars producer Thom Beers admitted to occasionally moving items from one to locker to another. “Now what I will tell you this: We have 20, 30 auctions, and so occasionally maybe one piece shows for one auction container, storage locker to another, you know, but that’s as far as we’ll go. That’s, I think, important,” he said. He also admitted to writing cast members’ lines. “I have to admit: There’s some writing involved. We do it in Storage Wars, we do it in America’s Lost Treasures,” he said. He claims that cast members are fed about half their lines, but producers also “allow them to translate what we need to push the story.”
