One of the few times I've watched any of it. Loved the really bad acting. It is so phony I can't hardly stand it. Nice car tho.

I'm guessing the big lady didn't repo it, unless they towed it?

I imagine some of it is real. They probably know which cars will be trouble and make sure they get caught during the repo.

I've never seen Repo. Programs that capitalize on the misery of other people don't do much for me. I get enough misery watching the news.

The Program should be titled RePObese, that is a LARGE family.

It's supposed to be a reenactment of an actual event.

I wonder if the repo would show up on the Carfax. Someone might get a chance to buy an 08 for a good price, minus the damage from dragging the car with the tow truck.

It is bad actors reenacting what could potentially have been an actual event. Think Reno 911 with way-worse actors.

From what I understand, they are reenactments. But I think the rotund woman is a real repo person. Reality TV is very good as showing us the underside of American Society.
