    I actually had a conversation with my guys before doing the show. There were some things I knew would drive them nuts, and I told them: "You're job today is not to haul trash, but to promote the company. You will do a lot of standing around, and it will be boring and make you crazy when she can't make her mind up to throw something out. That is the nature of these shows. ALWAYS look like you are having a good time and if you aren't GET OFF CAMERA!"

    The wicker basket was just one of those things. She told us to throw it away, then said that she didn't, then was upset that there was damage to an item she told us was trash. These people are overwhelmed when doing one of these shows. There are cameras and microphones in their faces, family members hovering with huge expectations (and not very patiently), and they are being asked to make decisions on the spot about things they haven't been able to decide on in years! It is a LOT to ask of them!
