Operation Repo - Blu-ray Forum

redtornado · 05-08-2009, 05:28 AM

It took me a couple of weeks to find out the show is staged. I missed the disclaimer at the begining. Anyone else watch this show on TruTV? The dead giveaway was when Matt got arrested and the cops who showed up had black shirts with badges but no shoulder patches what so ever. No shoulder mics too. One cop was wearing jeans with his uniform shirt. A def LAPD no no.
The next giveaway was when they flipped the BMW they were towing and NOBODY called the cops. They cleaned it up and towed the car away with no police whatsoever.

It would be so cooler with actual repos. And MAN that Sonja chick is ugly, wrapped in bacon, then rewrapped in ugly and served on a plate with a side of ugly.

HAHA it took you that long.

I knew right away. The people who get their car 'repossed' are acting WAY to hard

Never heard of it, but it doesn't surprise me. Most reality TV..excuse me "reality" TV shows are staged. Personally I think the producers of the shows have a great big laugh at their viewing audience each week. American Idol is the worst. If you don't think it's fixed then explain how Taylor Hicks won that year.

Yeah it's pretty entertaining, I just wish it was real, it would be much better. I figured out it was fake when some guy pulled out a gun and was shooting at them. They all drove off scared, but the camera guy stood there filming the guy with the gun unscathed, lol.

I got hooked into watching it too. Since I had it dvr'd I skipped over the "disclamer" too. I actually was pretty let down that it's staged, regardless it's entertaining as the same level as watching wrestling.

The one epsiode where Matt picked up that dude and threw him in the dumpster had me rolling. After he got dumped in he kept talking schet the whole time.

I'll keep watching these "reenactments" as long as it keeps me laughing.

It may be staged, but it's still fun to watch.

Meeklo · 05-08-2009, 04:58 PM

This show is hilarious....but obviously faked. How else could you explain Froy being married to Sonja?

I know they're reenactments but a lot of what they've seen and come across really does happen. So it's great to see how they handle those situations. Matt is the best part. (like someone said above) Him throwing the kid in the dumpster was classic.

The only thing I don't like is the way that the RO's talk and act to the repo people. I seriously wanna jump in the TV so I can slap them around and ask "What is hell is wrong with you?"

My wife loves this show, I watched it with her for 2 or 3 times before I was convinced it was all staged. The signs were all there but I missed them initially because it was funny to watch....but yeah, not real. Some of the people losing their cars are very bad actors and sort of helped give it all away.

That part is actually real. They were married for around 10 years, and have a child together.

Psychonaut · 05-09-2009, 02:20 AM

The show is kinda funny and a decent mindless watch. Sonja is... something otherworldly... and not in a good epic space way.
