Dave Hester

Considering we previously reported that A&E rescinded Dave Hester's season four contract option, you may have been surprised to see him on the season premiere of Storage Wars. 

Well, nothing has changed, A&E and Dave are still at war. He only appeared on the show last night because it was taped before the network locked him out of production. Locked! Out! 

Love him or hate him, Dave Hester is arguably the show's biggest star. However, according to an inside source, the ratings for the show have declined and it is no longer A&E's top priority. "Inside the network, the feeling is 'we're going to tape this show with or without you,'" a source told RadarOnline.

"The network and production company has the power," the source explained. "The rest of the cast is working without having their contract issues fully worked out … but Hester simply is not allowed to tape, as he has no offer."

Yikes.  We all speculate on whether reality shows are scripted or completely fake.  Of course, no one ever comes out and says a show isn't legit…especially if it's the star of the show!  I guess Dave Hester from Storage Wars didn't get that memo.

The star of the A&E hit has caused lots of drama with the network after rumors started swirling that he was saying the show isn't what it seems to viewers.  What?  Next, I'm going to hear that Si's beard on Duck Dynasty isn't real.  I just don't know how much more of these crazy rumors I can take!
