Too bad about Roy. He was a prick, but he seemed like he cared about kids. I may just bail on the show now.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I'm sure the entire season has been filmed so he should be in whatever episodes are left.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Sad news. The same thing happened to Captain Phil Harris from The Deadliest Catch. When you survive a health scare and are middle age, you really ought to heed the advice from your doctor.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Bummed at that news, always liked the episodes where he had a job... Minus the ridiculous mysterious case episode...

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Per Variety, Shipping Wars wrapped its fifth season two days before Garber's death.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

RIP. He was my fav.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Never liked they way they portrayed Roy on the show but man this is some sad news. R.I.P.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Roy really had a chip on his shoulder, and to a large extent i can understand it as the world is filled with idiots, but he was really one of the best things (if not the best thing) about this show. Hearing this makes me sure that i will not be following this show too much in the future.

Actually, thinking about it, Roy looked very bad for his age. I just turned 40 back in October and i am pretty sure i look more my age than he did. I thought Roy was more like pushing 60.

On a more upbeat note, Chris put a ring on it (it being Robbie's finger)

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Well, new episodes are airing, with Roy, but they have no disclaimer or note of his passing.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

At the end of episode 1 they had a quick in memoriam thing for him.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

OMG, those blonde girls are fucking stupid. they rival Jarrett as being the stupidest on the show. it was funny watching that one chicks boobs bounce on the rough road.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Kinda thought they would put a little more of a mention of Roy's passing, maybe in future episodes... after all he was the most entertaining of the bunch

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I really expected a "best of" episode between seasons with great Roy moments.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

so these new people are interesting. a new husband/wife team, some goofus from oklahoma and some sassy trucker broad.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Where's Robbie? Were her and Chris not asked back?

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I didn't watch episode 2 so i don't know if they were in there. Maybe they are trying to get a better rotation of people.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I have not watched a single episode of the new season so far. When they bring new people in it always seems to go downhill pretty fast, and Roy was actually one of the more interesting things to watch as his attitude was always gold. That stint they did in the last season though with the secret package FBI type delivery make me roll my eyes and i turned it off quickly. Could not watch it all the way through. Utter rubbish. If Jen starts getting her kit off them i might check in once in a while...until then i am out.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Chris and Robbie are off the show? Lame.

‘Shipping Wars’: Watch Roy Garber’s Final Episode Before His Death - http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/06/10/...final-episode/

Roy Garber’s Death Shocks Fans During ‘Shipping Wars’ Premiere - http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/06/04/...th-fans-react/

The Season 6 premiere were Roy’s final episodes. Roy will not be featured in any more new episodes of Shipping Wars, A&E confirmed to HollywoodLife.com.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I suspect A&E wanted to downplay his death for fear it would hurt ongoing ratings. This is the type of reality show built for casual viewers and Roy was a draw.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I think Chris and Robbie are still on. I follow her on Twitter and she has not said anything about leaving.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I miss Roy and Chris & Robbie. The new folks they have on these last few episodes aren't cutting it.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Chris and Robbie better not be gone for good... well especially Robbie and her short shorts...

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

So no Chris & Robbie and no Roy is making this show pretty hard to watch.

The new people are either dull or annoying (Dusty).

I guess it was fun while it lasted.
