I think what someone else said earlier nailed it... Randy played them and they were too stupid to even know it!

I loved it when he moved that big section by himself and wouldn't tell them how he did it-  I don't blame him for his attitude either (other than getting free help), they were supposed to be the professional movers and they couldn't handle the job.

The other story... again woah!  And yeah I thought the daughter was a prize too!  Funny... the mother hoarded trash and they were all white trash!

Funny how he said from the beginning that he wanted to share his collection with people open it to the public, the show spins it later and claims that they convinced him to move the arcade to be shared in a public space.

He reminds me of Willy Wonka. Funny how the moving guy jumps to saying that he has an issue and is a hoarder to defend himself. He might be condescending and excentric, but he's definitely as bad as the other hoarders.. I think. I do believe he has a huge issue, definitely since he gave up having friends, family, and admits himself that he has an issue. Plus the dolls w/ real hair? WTF!?

No, they weren't supposed to be professional movers ... that was the lead guy's point in the argument that apparently went on for longer than Randy's entire segment.

I just googled Randyland and got this good read.

I might stop by in August. I'll be in Atlantic City and I believe Wildwood is just another 45min away.
