Why did no one knock Hester out?


Seriously, I would have taken out back and had a nice conversation with him. You do not mess with someone's livelihood.

Maybe because it's scripted. If it was real, Hester would've been beaten up by now. And none of Barry's shenanegans would be tolerated.

& also maybe because, IRL, there's the police and things aren't handled like in the guys' locker room in 6th grade?..;)

reply

This exactly. Nobody did it because it's on camera and you know the douche would sue.

reply

Because he was given the role of antagonist. Watch shows from earlier seasons and he was actually a nice person.

reply

HE WAS NEVER A NICE PERSON, HE'S BEEN AN A@#$%LE FROM DAY ONE.

reply

yes to other buyers he`s an ass hole but not in the way he treats people or in "real" life off the show

"Nee ta ma duh tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si"

reply

You mean like the nice way he treated the people who sued him for selling their stuff without their permission.

reply

He probably has a lawyer who is good at suing people.

reply

I've watched every episode and never seen Hester ever being a nice guy. Sure some of the show is scripted, but there are certain behavioral traits that can't be faked. You can tell what a dickhead he is just by some of his mannerisms.

Only time I ever enjoyed seeing him on the show was when he was mentioning he had had a bad year and needed to close one of his stores. Eat crow Hester :)

Show is going down the pan anyway. Whoever decided Rene and Ivy should be some kind of comic relief deserves a punch just as much as Hester does.

reply

Considering all the lawsuits he has gone through, I'm sure his lawyer would love to be the one doing the actual suing.

reply

Evidently not since Hester owes A and E over a hundred grand to pay for THEIR legal fees for his crap lawsuit!

reply

I'm pretty sure karma/live knocked him the *beep* out. He went from being a pretty successful reseller of used goods on tv show that paid him to not only appear on the show but borrow his items. Not only that buthe pretty much had a 1 hour informercial to advertise his business. Last I read he lost one of his warehouses and kicked off the show. He bit the hand that made him famous and it slapped his ass back to obscurity.

There are thousands of thrift shop owners who would kill to just get 2 minutes of free advertising on a major cable network and this idiot found a way to f it up.

ho hum

he is back on the show starting in AUgust

I dunno about any of the behind the scenes doings but Laura Dotson climbed way higher in my estimation because of how she handled that black-clad maggot tonight.

Actually, calling that *beep* for brains a maggot is besmirching maggots everywhere.

Hester is working off his HUGE debt to A&E incurred when he decided to poop where he eats. Idiot.

Many years ago I was a taxi driver. Jim the Anvil Neidhart jumped in my cab and said " I can't believe I just got thrown out of another cab for wanting to smoke, do you care?" I said no, go ahead. Hey what if I wanted to rent your taxi a few hours tonight, could we arrange that?" yup.

Well, he got my name and number and always called me when coming into town, so I ended up being the trusted driver for a bunch of them.

One of the supposed villains at the time was one of the politest guys I can remember in my entire life! Iron Mike Sharp excuse me, sorry to bother you, thank you, could you please, it's been a pleasure, would it be too much trouble?

I remember when I answered him the first time and said "not a problem Iron Mike" He gushed you know who I am!?

Well anyways they were in town once for some big extravaganza and wanted to see if I could find a bar they could buy out privately for the night, which I did.

I was shuttling them back n forth, and got to hear a lot of conversations. One was Bobby The Brain had been stabbed by an old lady walking through the isles with a fork.He was pretty upset about this, as you can imagine. He's like "do you actually believe any of this is real?" No sir! "Good, but there's apparently a lot of morons who do!"

Don't be a moron folks, Bobby Henan said so!
