Items are supplied by producers and the banter between Corey and Chum has become so obviously scripted and horribly acted that it's not even worth watching anymore. There are no real "reality" shows.

(The other day I caught a few episodes of Bar Rescue on SpikeTV. It was fairly entertaining but I'm certain it's another fake show.)
I had always enjoyed Pawn Stars in the past as well, but hand't seen it in a while. I watched a few episodes last week and it was terrible. They had the old man ordering pies that they guys wouldn't let him eat because he needed to be healthy and Chum supposedly working out to lose weight. There was another episode where Chum wanted a desk so they put it in a few very inconvenient places and it was just sad. I enjoy seeing the items and learning about what they are and what they are worth, but the rest of the crap is terrible.

Here are some shots of Chum's house, cars and life now.
