Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I don't know if anyone else watches this show, but I figured I'd start a thread to let everyone know Season 2 starts tonight. It took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but I ended up really enjoying the show.

The older couple has been replaced by a younger couple - otherwise, it looks like everyone is back.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I watch it. It's perfect nighttime viewing before bed, since it doesn't take a lot of brain power or investment. Didn't know the old couple was replaced.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I'm a big fan of the show. Glad to see cowgirl Jennifer back. But Roy is my favorite. He reminds me of a really cranky stubborn old bulldog I used to have.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I'm not sure I like the snipping cuts. It's one thing to cut away and have Brandi on Storage Wars bitching about Jared, since they are right next to each other during the bids. But to have the peanut gallery commenting on each other's bids when they are in different states? Come on.

And yeah, Jennifer is a hot piece. Hope she wears more Daisy Duke shorts.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I cant believe they let him cut that Willie Mays statue in half.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Ugh, I used to feel sorry for Jared...but that kid is an idiot. Anybody with even a Jr.High level of physics knowledge could tell you that he shouldn't have loaded the statue like that.

And that new girl....+1 for her.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

They keep Jared on there because he is an idiot... some people have the knack for this type job, some don't.

Nice to see the show have two hot chicks on it now

The running commentary is still annoying though... works better on storage wars

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

You kind of want to root for Jared, but he is so daft sometimes it is hard.

I like this show well enough. It's not must see tv to me like Storage Wars, but a good enough show to dvr when nothing else is on.

I like seeing the crazy stuff folks ship.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

That new couple is amusing, and the girl is hot as hell.

I was surprised Roy took the Mays statue across the country because he has said in the past he doesn't like going west of the Mississippi.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I agree. That was nuts, but it was totally not his fault and he shouldn't have been given any shit by the Giants staff about doing that since he got permission twice to do it.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I like this show a lot but those two new douchebags have to go. so annoying.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I'm not sure about the new couple yet but the dog is awesome.


That Lumberjack restaurant owner was full of it. He's bitching he's two days behind opening now yet there's a bunch of construction noise and a huge dumpster and port a potty still sitting in the parking lot.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Mounting the statue was really stupid. Even if the driver (forgot his name) is green, those guys loading it know better.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

:lol: at Roy cutting the statue in half. Not his fault, but I would have asked the shippers if the Giants had OK'd it.

I hope they don't play up the jershey shore-ness of the new guy too much. He seemed alright, though. Hot wife.

This is at least the second time we've seen a shipee come up with an amount to dock for late delivery. Shouldn't the daily fine be part of the shipping agreement?

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Tonight's was kinda nice, seeing Roy do that pro bono delivery. But other than that it was mistakes on parade, not to mention a ridiculous amount of breakdowns.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

That was completely unexpected of Roy. Good for him. Obviously he made other money on the run, but cool to see him help someone out after being an insufferable prick most of the time.

And that, Robbie, is why you should leave the girlfriend at home. :lol:

Marc was one lucky fucker that guy didn't throw a shit fit about the rust on that car. Wow. Marc should've at least offered some money off or something.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Yeah I give major props to Roy for doing that.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Marc got sooooooo lucky with that hot rod. Personally, there is no way I would've accepted that thing. And Kudos to Roy...that was actually pretty cool.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Well like the guy said, it looked used, not polished. Anyone else get a major Larry Flynt vibe off that buyer? His whole entourage looked seriously skeezy.

As for the car, I'm amazed at how fast it rusted. That was incredible. He should have tarped the damn thing.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I just saw an old episode from this season that I had missed, where Chris and Robbie shipped a survivalist building and the guy kept hitting on Robbie, even though she was sick as a dog. When they delivered it, Chris and Robbie were still flu-ridden and coughing, but as the guy did his inspection, Robbie joked that the place had a few more germs in it. So I'm wondering if she admitted she and the BF screwed in that shelter while en route. That would be alternately hilarious and gross.

And Jarrett needs to find a new line of work. That's all.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Saw the new one last night and, I gotta say, I used to like Jared but now I think he's just stupid. While loading that carriage he says "I gotta pay more attention to the dimensions listed." No shit, Sherlock.:lol: That old dude was not holding back on him either.

This has past Storage Wars in order of must see for me. Less scripted, IMHO.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

That old dude was BRUTAL.

Jarrett did score points with me for replacing his own starter, though.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Last season he came across as the likeable rookie trying to learn the business. Lately he just seems like a doofus - and seems perfectly willing to play that part for the show.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

If he is playing the role, he does a great job.

If he's not, seriously, find a new line of work.

AND BUY A NEW TRUCK ALREADY YOU IDIOT!

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

yeah, Jarrett is a fucking moron. anything that could go wrong on that carriage run did go wrong. i do find it hilarious that people continue to use him and his cheap bids, despite his horrid ratings.

i also don't get why these idiots (jarrett and jennifer) keep taking on jobs that require special trailers, taking things apart, etc.

i also think chris/robbie are almost better on the show just commenting than actually shipping. :lol:

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, I could watch a whole show just on Robbie.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

They should give the old dude his own show. He was great.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Shhhhh not so loud.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Ok how hot was Robbie tonight in the episode where she and dumbass delivered the spider? She should always wear short shorts like that.

Also, I've noticed that they are letting the shippers talk to the camera more than in prior episodes, which can be interesting.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Jesus, what the fuck did Jennifer think was going to happen to that cake in her trailer for 3 days? What a fucking idiot.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Yeah, that was some Jarrett type shit there. lol

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Holy crap. Now that's scandal.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

The new season starts tonight, if anybody besides me gives a shit.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I'll be watching. Thanks for the reminder.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

I have to say this show has the cutest females of any of these shipping, storeage, pawn...shows.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Yes Robbie is definitely MILF-tastic. She's got an amazing tight little body.

But what the FUCK is Jarred still doing on this show? This guy is too dumb to function. I wouldn't let him bid on delivering a pack of gum.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

That's probably why he is still there. The show wants at least one complete screw up. Didn't know it was back. Thanks for the heads up. Is Roy still there? I had heard he lost his shipping permit a while back.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Yeah Roy is there. His son came along, then left, then rejoined. It was all so stupid and contrived, like Darrell and Brandon on Storage Wars.

Re: Official Shipping Wars discussion thread
 

Yeah it did feel contrived, though I'm sure Junior was a bit of a prick.

And of COURSE the girl showed him up and Roy had to go along with the begrudging respect. But she really did stand up for him as well.
