Long live
The King... um, not exactly.
A bazooka of a lawsuit between Dave Hester (Self-Proclaimed King) vs. A&E Network/Original Productions (The Kingdoms), booted "The Mogul" out of the show this season. Hester filed a lawsuit after he was abruptly cut from the cast in 2012. Lawsuit cited unfair business practice and wrongful termination claims. No "Yuuups" this season.
However, more buyers brought into the auction arena as well as appearances by two new auctioneers - Johan Graham and her father Earl. All auctions held in Southern California.
Original cast members who returned were Jarrod Schulz, Brandi Passante, Darrell Sheets, Brandon Sheets and Barry Weiss. Recurring players included Ivy Calvin, Herb Brown, Mike Karlinger, Nabila Haniss, Mark Bolelo, and Mark & Matt Harris.
New players:
Rene Nezhoda, a native of Germany, co-owner of Bargain Hunters Thrift Store with his wife Casey. Seasoned buyer in San Diego and surrounding areas.
Casey Lloyd, wife of Rene, and co-owner of Bargain Hunters Thrift Store.
New auctioneers:
Johan Graham, daughter to Earl, a second-generation auctioneer. She became the California Auctioneer Champion in 2000; the youngest ever to win the award as well as the only female.
Earl Graham expertise in cattle and estate auctions. Between he and his daughter, they have 55 years of auctioneer experience under their belts.
Show shaken by so many cast member changes, but one thing remained the same - the buyer with the most money in their pocket, won the auction unit.
