2. Wondering where they got these pickers...

As noted, only one made money this week. I think last week, maybe two and the guy named Kevin won both weeks. He seems like the only sensible one. The others do not seem as knowledgeable and are impulsive.

Perhaps this is "according to the script" but I would rather see four really talented folks go at it. The woman seems really ditzy and not very smart. The old hippie dude is entertaining but he takes big risks that so far haven't paid off. The designer guy just seems to buy what he likes without much regard to resale.

I know this isn't exactly real world, and yet, for a vintage dealer, it kind of is. Going to a flea market and trying to score something at their retail price that you can make money on is a time honored tradition in the antiques biz.

Also I miss Fred Willard. Sad that they dumped him so unceremoniously.

Still, entertaining show and I'll probably keep watching. I always learn something.
