Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 7: “Legends of the Fog.”

John Luke lost on his way to the auction held at the Bronx, again! Joe P brought a buddy nick named, ‘Fog’ (don’t ask). Mike rushed out of his home amidst the shouts of family life. Phew, he made it out of the house in one piece. Candy and Courtney pumped for their pop-up sale at a burlesque show (don’t ask).

1^st Room
A Bronx mess. Old mattress, kitchen set, chess set, dirty clothes, cheap furniture, hard hats, tool box, boxes, and trash bags.

Mike: Typical Bronx room. Rough, tough, with a heart of gold, just like me.

Whatever you say, Mike. It still looked a mess. C&C planned to bid up Mike, but not by much. He won at $125. He found a Christmas tree (ugh). A hoodie with skeleton print he would keep (double ugh).

New picnic set, glassware, wine rack, snowboard, a mountain of clothes, and a remote controlled motorized boat – new in box.

Expert stated the boat clean of gas, definitely brand new. Stock motor with 2-channel remote control devaluated the boat. Estimated value at $900.

2^nd Room
Dresses, air conditioner, overabundance of clothes in bags and more bags. Candy really tempted, but Courtney? Not so much.

Courtney: I’m gonna put the Kibosh on that.

Candy wanted to serve Courtney a Kibosh and bid over their agreed limit. In the end however, Joe P put the Kibosh on all bids. Won at $350.

Not much mystery to this room. Bags of clothes, rack of clothes, fur coat, and a marble game.

Marble expert stated there were four things that determined the value of a marble: rarity, size, condition, and eye appeal. (Don’t say it, wait, ugh, yes… size does matter, ya happy?)

The mahogany board dated between 1890-1910. Condition not great. Chip on board and many of the marbles were chipped. However, rare find valued between $3,700-$3,800.

3^rd Room
Rubber containers, gumball machine, and junk. C&C wanted the room. Mike would make the gals pay for it. Tad excited to bid. Chris not in favor. Tad put his hand up to Chris’s face – Talk to the hand! Tensions rose.

RUMBLE IN THE BRONX!!!

Okay, not so much a rumble. More like a squeal, and it was all Chris. “It’s too much! It’s too much!” But Tad tuned a deaf ear to the squeals and smirked at Chris. He bid up the gals and made them overpay for the room.

Chris: Did Tad just bid up the girls? Who knew he had it in him.

C&C won the room at $350. Was it worth $350? Not even half that. Sigh. First box, Courtney uncovered self-help DVDs (irony not lost here). Knock-off purses, a suitcase, and uh, clown wig? That pop-up sale better bring in cash for the gals, and that it did, plus a surprise.

Sweet Candy Olsen emerged onto the stage as the sexy, pole dancer Cotton Candy. Ooo, la, la!

Profit Scorecard:

Joe P: $4,300
Mike Braiotta: $890
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $0
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $1,330 (with pop-up sale)

Container Wars: Fight Club

July 29, 2013

Container Wars

Container Wars: Season 1, Episode 8: “Shark Attack.”

Mo and Ty established themselves as the “Team Muscle” by their trash-talk intimidation tactics before the auction.

If you pick a fight, you will find yourself in a fight.

Uzi bumped Mo.
Mo shoved Matt.
Ty pushed Matt, twice.
Ty pushed Shlomi.
Shlomi got all up into Ty’s face.
Ty grabbed Shlomi.
Shlomi grabbed Ty.

FIGHT CLUB!!!

Morons.

Security pulled them apart. All was once again well with the world.

1^st Container: Port of Origin – Venice, Italy
Fragile, handle with care boxes wrapped in plastic. Cheap shoelaces littered the floor. Israelis know fashion and women’s high end shoes do NOT use shoelaces.

Matt peered into the container through his toy binoculars. He looked adorable.

Matt assumed the items wrapped were display cases filled with jewelry. Keep dreaming, Matt. He won, but what did he win? High end display cases. Good. Boxes full of cheap flip-flops, shoelaces, and socks. Bad. Very, very bad.

Cost: $34,000
LOSS: -$24,00

2^nd Container: Port of Origin – Eastern Cape, South Africa
Taxidermy haven. Huge shark front and center. For some reason Uzi had to call his brother to ask if the taxidermy shark was from the movie Jaws. Dude, seriously? The shark from Jaws is at Universal Studios, duh!

Eyal: Jaws? Really? That’s what I have to deal with?

That’s what I said, Eyal.

It was however Jason who would win the dead-animal container, ew. Besides the shark he found a lion, armadillo, monkey, and a small bird. No endangered species (just Bambi’s dead friends) which would bring Jason a profit.

Cost: $12,000
Profit: $12,000

3^rd Container: Port of Origin – New York, New York
Wrapped in red plastic; however, there were indicators such as the smell of bleach and a coin operated washing machine in front. Back crates possibly major appliances. Ty spied an ATM machine in the far back.

Mo: What dumbass ships an ATM machine with cash inside.

Exactly, Mo, that’s what I was thinking as well. Mo and Ty won but the first items they pulled out of the container were used appliances. Not good. First box full of small bleach bottles, the type you find at a laundromat. Not good, not good.

Crates contained six new stackable washer with dryers. Very good! Now they needed a locksmith to break open the ATM machine and a coin changer. Locksmith worked his magic and, wait for it…

NOT-A-THING

inside that ATM machine.

Bahahah!

Seriously, like someone would ship money inside an ATM or coin changer.

Cost: $17,000
LOSS: -$1,850

Karma’s a be-otch, boys.

4^th Container: Port of Origin – Chicago, Illinois
John Kunkle mentioned the container weighed four tons. Whoa! Inside a trailer with a cover. Trailer itself marked: Tarmac and Runway Access. We know it had something to do with airplanes. Shlomi worked in construction.

Shlomi: It’s a garbage container. It’s a stupid scrap metal cart.

Did Uzi listen? The mystery behind the cover overpowered any common sense. Uzi won. What did they find? Airplane scrap engine motor, scrap metal, and cables. Would Uzi tell Shlomi he was right? Not even.

Cost: $29,000
LOSS: -$9,800

Storage Wars: New York: Mike Stole Candy’s & Courtney’s Banana Bikes!

July 24, 2013

Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 6: “Pigs in a Pug.”

John Luke ate goulash. Joe P listened to the grapevine in search of future fortune. Tad encouraged to find a ‘Whoo-Hoo’ item. Chris agreed. Mike bent on breaking the Brooklyn curse. Candy and Courtney rode their banana-bikes to the facility. That was not a good idea.

1^st Room
Tall glass display case, air conditioner, rubber containers, canvas bags, boxes, small safe, and miscellaneous items tossed about the storage unit.

Joe P: This is the room of the wishful thinker.

Fierce battle between Candy and Tad until the bid rose a bit above $300. Tad thought he had it in the bag until The Hustler bumped the bid. That discombobulated Tad and Chris. Tad bid $400. Chris bid $425 and won. They bid against each other.

Blunder-Nuts!

As they rifled through the storage unit, they found papier-mâché masks, clown costumes including clown shoes, and a small helium-filled tank. Oh yeah, they both inhaled and sounded like munchkins.

They did find an electronic scoreboard. Took it to Prudential Center. Gamecraft board used in man-caves or sports bars. Valued at $400.

2^nd Room
Room divider, luggage, and a few small boxes neatly packed and stacked. Joe P showed little interest. Tad and Chris out. Candy and Courtney liked the small items. Easy to haul.

Mike: I think the girls like it. Which means I like it.

Oh, the games they play. Chris nudged Mike to place a bid and that he did, much to C&C’s chagrin. Frustrated, Courtney flipped-the-bird bid.

John Luke: No obscene gestures!

Hey, it’s New York. What did you expect? Courtney won at $450. How did Courtney retaliate at Mike for making them pay double for that room? She pulled on Mike’s ear. Ow!

Mike: Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

Put ice on that ear, Mikey. Candy then made an ominous prediction (or quote from Game of Thrones).

Candy: Winter is coming, Mike B. Winter is coming.

Chills, Mike, feel the chills.

Candy and Courtney returned the following day in their banana van. Gals entered their storage unit. Not much there. Luggage contained vacuumed sealed clothing (hit and miss). Gals also discovered an airbrush machine, tool, blanket, and a mother-of-all cleavers.

At the butcher shop, the gals were told it’s not a cleaver but a Foster Brother’s “pork-splitter.” (I’m not explaining its use, guess.) Dated back to the 1950s. Sold to butcher for $50.

3^rd Room
Instrument case, tripod, Polaroid film, art, photography prints, duffel bag, and boxes.

Candy and Courtney encouraged Mike to buy the storage unit. But when it comes to art, it had Joe P’s name written all over it. He wonat $450.

First box mish-mosh, whatnots, and what-have yous (his words, not mine). Ukulele, 18-carat jewelry, 40-pieces of photography art, 50-pieces of photographs, and an enormous lens.

Lens made in 1904. Very rare (according to expert), but in its present condition valued at $800.

Mike could not break the Brooklyn curse. He decided not to leave the auction empty handed. He broke the lock to Candy’s and Courtney’s banana-bikes. Loaded bikes onto the back of his pick-up. Drove away.

Goodbye, Brooklyn!

Profit Scorecard:
Joe P: $1,800
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $375
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: loss of -$258
Mike Braiotta: $0

Do you think Mike will ever break the Brooklyn curse?

Container Wars: Biggest Loser

Container Wars

1 Comment

Container Wars: Season 1, Episode 7: “Secrets of the Orient.”

The crazies back for the second half of season one. Deana, former beauty queen, gorgeous as ever. Ty sported a Mohawk, which was so 1980s of him. Mo hadn’t changed, still crotchety as ever (his words to Deana).

Matt still in need of anger management classes or yoga to calm his inner core. Jason, two words – Jenny Craig (hey, he gained a few pounds, don’t look at me that way). And the Israelis: Shlomi, Uzi and Eval, two words – group therapy.

Let’s go auctioneer John Kunkle and pop that can!

1^st Container – Port of Origin – Los Angeles
Used ratty lawnmowers, box with wrapped motors (a guess), and the rest of the merchandise in crates or boxes.

Shlomi gambled until Uzi and Eval cut him off. This was not a WOW factor container which is why the bids didn’t really escalate. Mo won.

Mo and Ty found new lawnmower motors and twenty newly assembled electric bicycles which included a racer, cruiser, and chopper.

Cost: $10,000
Profit: $10,000

Mo: I had a hunch.
Ty: I had a feeling before that.

Yep, they still try to one-up each other.

2^nd Container – Port of Origin – Hamburg, Germany
The container damaged which was not a good sign. Once the doors opened there were two huge crates that leaned like the tower of Pisa.

Broken glass scattered in front. Boxes in back still intact, but what if everything else in crates were broken during the sea haul?

Matt surmised the glass visible was 5/8^th inch thick; display glass for museums maybe. Even that type of recycled glass worth money. Did anyone else want to take the same risk? Uh, no. Matt won with his Matt attack bid.

Jason: Matt attack? What is he attacking?

No clue, Jason, but he just won container full of glass. Would it pay off? Yes. One tilted crate all the display glass intact. Matt found privacy glass for high-end homes, four boxes full of beautiful hand-blown glass, and 45-pieces of Plexiglas. Matt attacked the profit bank!

Cost: $8,000
Profit: $11,000

3^rd Container – Port of Origin – Gujarat, India
Man cave! Though everything was wrapped the merchandise was obvious; two pool tables, Foosball, and gaming tables. High quality and everybody still had money to blow. Last stand between Uzi and Deana. But the bid rose too high and she was not going to take the bait.

Deana: You want it? Keep it.

Israel’s camp happy to unload their goodies. They uncovered two more pool tables inside a crate, plus an air hockey table, ping-pong table, and five rolls of green felt for pool tables.

Uzi: I had a feeling it would be a good container. I’m a genius!

Shlomi refuted that remark but because he used such colorful metaphors, I won’t repeat it.

Cost: $30,000
Profit: $20,000

4^th Container – Port of Origin – Tokyo, Japan
This was the hyped container of the day, possibly full of electronics from Japan which meant $$$. Everything inside however wrapped in plastic.

Deana thought she had bid beyond Jason’s proclaimed budget limit, but he lied and won. But did he score?

First few items Jason pulled out into the open were furniture pieces. First box he cut into full of display fake phones. Second box full of display fake wide screen TVs. Uh, oh. Not looking good. Next box, you guessed it, full of fake small flat screen TVs.

What did he buy? Display shells of fake electronics. Worthless!!! He wanted to go home and cry himself to sleep.

Cost: $29,000
LOSS: -$26,000

Did you think it was worth the risk for Jason?

Storage Wars: New York: David & Goliath at Auction Brawl

July 16, 2013

Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 3: “An Embarrassment of Richards.”

Courtney arrived with a broken wrist. John Luke worked on his tan. Chris sang out of tune. Mike called every male ‘Richard.’ Oh, he’s not a cast member. That’s Mike’s way of saying you’re a ‘D—k.’ Mike had one hour’s sleep. We’ll cut him a little slack, but only a little. Giant (Big Steve) ran late. His presence would create serious trouble.

1^st Room
Uh, your guess is as good as mine. Room blocked by something that’s wrapped in blankets. Few mystery boxes in back, but actually the whole room a mystery.

Mike had a hunch the item that blocked the view was a ‘smart board.’ Joe P and Mike faced off. The Hustler won at $925. Mike unraveled the blankets. Yep, it was an electronic smart board.

Mike: Smart board for a smart guy.

(Cough, cough). Sorry, something got stuck in my throat. Anyhoo, Mike continued to dig through his room. He found wall art, new tires, new Zippos lighters, new gas masks, and new respirators. Mike put on a gas mask. Danced the Hustle because he was in the money.

The unusual items he unsurfaced were three freak show photos in a small plastic case. Two were cabinet cards. One of albino sisters. One of small woman (circa 1920s). The other was a French postcard of a two-headed lady (you read that right). Valued at $350 for the collection.

2^nd Room
Mattress, furniture, boxes, and uh, stuff.

Joe P: This room is a real crap shoot, meaning it’s crap.

Big Steve, two hours late, finally arrived to the auction with a big attitude. He slammed a locker door. Demanded people to move it along. Who made him King of the land?

What did Mike do? Called the Giant ‘Richard.’ Mike gave Steve a nudge. Steve gave Mike a shove. PUSH then came to mighty SHOVE!

BRAWL!!!

Not a fair one at that, but neither was David and Goliath.

John Luke: If you ask me, they’re just a couple of “Richards.”

Big Steve won the crappy room for $200. Other than household items, he found a box that contained cricket cages. One egg shaped. One boned cage. One flask-like container for cricket fights. Why was this find so fitting for Big Steve? Valued at $800.

3^rd Room
Danish furniture, metal cabinet, and boxes labeled in German. Mike wanted this room in the worst way. He boosted the bid to $1k then $1,500. Joe P would not give in and won at $1,600.

Joe P sifted through his furniture room. He found 150 boxes full of books, quality danish furniture, and a glass-tube item. It’s a contraption used to determine butterfat milk back in 1880s. Precision glassware, plus it’s rare, valued at $1,500. Chris & Tad and C&C could not leave the storage facility fast enough because of Big Steve.

It wasn’t an auction – it was a brawl.

Profit Scorecard:

Mike Braiotta: $4,425
Joe P: $3,250
Big Steve: $1,150
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $0
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $0

After this fight fiasco, do you think Big Steve should return to the show?

Storage Wars: New York: Mike Explores His Feminine Side

July 10, 2013

Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 2: “A Turtle Grows in Harlem.”

Chris and Tad needed to score big! Unfortunately, it’s because their shop was hit by Hurricane Sandy. Store completely flooded. They lost thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.

Chris: What’s done is done. It’s now time to rebuild and restock our shelves.

Candy and Courtney also desperate for merchandise, concocted a plan to stealth bid. They approached auctioneer John Luke to apprise him of Courtney’s ‘Hair Flip’ bid. Good luck, gals!

1^st Room Marble table top, cheap furniture pieces, small flat screen TV, suitcase, and a ton of boxes. Joe P’s out. Mikey’s out. C&C and Chris & Tad to battle, but really, think about it. The gals buy furniture pieces to fit in their banana van? Uh, no. Maybe C&C were in it for the mystery boxes.

Mike: Mystery boxes are for suckers and there’s no mystery who the suckers are around here.

Ow, Mikey. Tell us how you really feel.

Courtney: Begin Operation Secret Bid.

Hair flip, bid. Hair flip, bid. At $1K. Hair flip, stop. Oh, well. Chris won at $1,100. The guys dug through the room. Found a vanity desk, box of books, taxidermy turtle (poor sap), and a 1^st edition of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn.

Chris and Tad went to a rare book expert.The three indicators to verify this copy was a 1^st edition were all there. Cover just in fair condition valued the book at $3,000.

2^nd Room Vintage suitcases, rubber tubs, antique chandelier, and boxes galore. From all appearances, it definitely had Candy and Courtney’s flavor.

Candy: This is a lady’s room. No men allowed.

Operation ‘Hair Flip’ engaged. Candy used her umbrella to block Mike’s bid. How did that go over with “The Hustler?” Mike bumped the bid to $500. C&C stunned. Mike won at $1,000. He dug through the storage unit.

Mike: I guess it’s time to explore my feminine side.

Come on, Guido, you’re a manly man! Mike found a kitchen bench, new designer dresses with price tags, shoes, and a pair of plastic designer purses. Eat your heart out, C&C! Mike went to Soho to get the purses appraised.

Plastic purses dated from 1949-1959, made only in the US. Very expensive at that time. Mike’s purses (that sounds so wrong) however had issues. Gold corroded. Green gunk on handle. Valued at $250 for both.

3^rd Room H-u-g-e! Maple dressers, cut-out marble piece, chaise lounge chair, guitar cases, and a little bit of everything for everyone.

BID WAR!!!

Everyone ran out of ammo, except for Joe P who won at $5,800. He found vintage clothing, jewelry, a ton of furniture, and a nautical lamp. Joe P went to the Maritime Museum to appraise the nautical piece. Discovered it’s a marine search light to help mariners to navigate through dark rivers and seas. Made of brass from 1940s. Valued at $400.

Profit Scorecard:

Joe P: $10,880
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $6,165
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $0
Mike Braiotta: LOSS -$25

Storage Wars: New York: Zombies Rocked, Big Steve Annoyed!

July 9, 2013

Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 1: “The Walking Bid.”

Zombies and Giants. Zombies were in Candy’s dream. Cast full of blood and gore. Rock on!

The Giant was a new player, Big Steve (6 feet, 8 inches). Mike called him ‘Lord of the Fleas.’ Big Steve runs a flea market in Brooklyn. Did he add to the show?

Not even.

Instead he sucked the air right out of the room. We’ll take our chances with the Zombies!

1^st Room
Sparse-o-la. Two corner bookcases, ugly mattresses, old TV, art, wicker basket, trash bags, rubber bin, and boxes. Really not worth a holler yet Big Steve SLAMMED a storage unit door to cast his first bid.

FEE-FI-FO-FUM, how obnoxious can Big Steve become?

In a word – Very!

Courtney covered her ears as Big Steve shouted his bids. Obnoxious and annoying! Did he win? NO! Joe P sniped bid at the last possible second and stole the room from under Chris and Tad at $425.

Chris: I hate it when he does that.

That’s why Joe P does that, Chris. Doh! Room didn’t hold many surprises, though. Bag full of stuffed animals, DVD player, kitchen items, and an antique hearing aid.

European Vibrophone hearing aids. Contain small reeds inside the metal to assist with sound. Did they work? Um, no. However, because they Vibrophones are rare and a collector’s item, they were valued at $300.

2^nd Room
Mattresses, suitcases, plastic bins, toys, household items, dog bed, definitely a household room.

Courtney bet Candy $20 to slam a locker door next to Big Steve. Candy “ditto” then stared up at Steve. She’s a red-head. You don’t scare her big guy.

Candy: I’m gonna bite you in the knee cap.

Considering how tall Big Steve stood, that’s anatomically in the right spot. Chris and Tad won at $475. What did they find? Wigs, leather jackets, shoes, junk, and a pyrotechnic machine for fireworks. Why didn’t that look good? Maybe because the wires looked really old.

Le Maitre Pyroflash with twenty-four circuits. The switch board did not have corrosion, but because the fireworks detonator was well used, not worth a dime.

No fireworks profit here, Chris and Tad.

3^rd Room
Triple column brand new vending machines in boxes. C&C out. No way to haul thirty-two boxes into their banana van. Joe P out. Chris and Tad out. That left Mike and Big Steve to battle.

Mike bumped the bid to $1K. Big Steve took the room for $1,100.

Mike: I came to Trenton with my truck to buy big. Unfortunately, all I got was a big pain in the ass, his name is Steve.

Big Steve sold the majority of his vending machines at Aquaduck Flea Market at $100 a pop. He had a venue to sell, but still can’t stand the guy nor can the viewers. Big Steve achieved only 6% of popular votes during the broadcast. America didn’t warm up to him.

Big Steve: You tell all those guys Big Steve is coming next week and he’s coming for blood.

Did he think that would scare the other players?

Not even.

Profit Scorecard:

Steve Valenti: $1600
Joe P: $517
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $0
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $0
Mike Braiotta: $0

What did you think about the new player Big Steve?

Storage Wars: Goodbye, Barry Weiss

Storage Wars: Season 4, Episode 22: “Super Bros. Shuffle.”

Goodbye, Barry Weiss.

No speeches. No farewells. No tears. But Barry almost had a heart attack. I’ll get to that.

This episode was the season finale for season four. Indicators were there that this would be Barry’s last episode. So this blog, it’s all about Barry.

He drove to the auction in his Jetson automobile.

Barry: The most amazing thing about it is, there’s still a surprise around every corner.

Once at the auction Barry kissed Laura Dotson and hugged Dan Dotson. He’s never done that before. Yep, it’s the end.

1^stStorage Unit
Garage type stuff. Freezer, weed wacker, golf clubs, fishing equipment, small flat screen TV, washing machine, and boxes. Bids uber fast up to over $900.

Barry: Wow. This is a runaway train.

Darrell won at $950. Darrell and Brandon dug through the locker. Xbox console, float tube, sleeping cots, box full of expensive light bulbs, beer keg, and Mario Bros. collectibles.

First was a Super Mario 2 board game, very rare, and in excellent condition. Valued at $700. Also a leather Nintendo case full of dioramas valued at $1,000.

2^nd Storage Unit
New or slightly used items. Lawn mower, bicycles, generator, sinks, outdoor heater, suitcase, scooter, and loads of stuff.

Barry: I don’t see a lot of mystery in this unit, but if I saw it,it wouldn’t be a mystery.

Everyone wanted it but Jarrod won at $2,300. And yes, items were mostly new. Dishwasher still in the box. Like new bowling balls. Wall art, hand-made chess board with pieces, table, flat screen TV, tea set, and a Coca-Cola collectible.

Collectible called the four seasons to show customers at a store that you could drink Coke year round. It’s a reproduction valued at about $500.

3^rd Storage Unit
Old tanning table, tons of wooden chairs, two pianos, two bbq pits, roll-top desk, and much, much more.

Barry: Last unit of the day and it’s got that certain “je ne sais quoi”. You know I’ve got to own it.

That he did at $2,450. Lots of decent furniture and lots of soiled sofas (ugh). Barry found plastic pieces to a shuffle board court including the two sticks.

Appraiser needed to see if all the pieces were intact before he could give an appraisal. Barry enlisted his dream team which arrived in a crazy-long limo. Team included every sidekick Barry brought to auction during season four.

Jerad, The Kung Pao Cowboy, Crafty Adam, Accountant, Pyschics, Charles Phoenix, Kingsley, Praline King Kenny, and the two Auction Angels.

Dream team connected each piece and voilà, a complete shuffle board court set with pucks and sticks. Valued at $1,600.

Barry: Old Barry just slid into the black.

Barry made a bet with his dream team that everyone would get $100 if he shuffled the puck into the “10” slot. Did he? Wait for it… wait… whoa, disc stopped dead on the 10 slot. Everyone gets $100 and now Barry’s back in the red, as usual.

Barry: Only I would bet against myself and win.

Profit Scorecard:

Darrell Sheets: $2,095
Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante: $210
Ivy Calvin: $0
Barry Weiss: loss – $1,070

At the end credits Barry was unable to open the door to his locker. After a few tries he finally opened the door. Inside were his cast mates who almost gave the poor guy a heart attack.

Barry: You (bleeps)!

Dotsons, Darrell, Brandon, Brandi and Jarrod were there to say their last goodbye, though in the form of scaring Barry half-to-death.

We will miss you. You were the best!

Goodbye, Barry Weiss.

Update: Barry now has his own show, Barry’d Treasure.
