This show is the WORST. I am especially upset because I am a fan of the original show.
This show fails in pretty much every single respect at making a reality TV show.
I should say reality-ish because this show is obviously totally fake. I'm not going to take them all the way down to a one out of ten rating just for that because tons of reality shows aren't exactly real. But this one takes the case. Shots of conversations but then another camera clicks on and you see that the camera we just saw a shot from is not there. Empty hallway or lot. That means all these arguments, conversations and confrontations are 100% staged.
That's probably why the bidders (actors) all seem so fake on this show, because they and every moment are. Their performances are wooden and pathetic.
So if you're not really caring if it looks totally fake then why not at least get decent actors?
Why not tell decent stories? It's the exact same story every time. They buy a locker that has something in it (obviously an interesting and or valuable piece that has been planted there). They take the thing to an "expert" friend they just happen to know. They cash in. The staged, fake arguments that are boring get settled but who cares because they're obviously fake and boring?
Why does every Canadian version of a show have to be so completely inferior?
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and having a girl pretend to be a giant b- witch does not mean they are interesting characters.
