Storage Wars S9




Storage Wars S9
Tuesdays at 9pm (PH timing)

Storage unit auctions are the newest and biggest untapped source for hidden treasures, and opportunistic individuals bid on unclaimed properties hoping to strike gold. Welcome to Storage Wars. In this character driven treasure hunt, bidders range from twenty something's out for fun and adventure - willing to say or do anything to win - to husband & wife teams looking to make fast and large cash...and all are prepared to create quite the drama in the process.

It's a dramatic environment as the bidders assess if they think the unit is worth a bid... and how high they will actually go. In each self-contained episode of Storage Wars, our cast of characters head to storage units and wait anxiously for the big reveal of what is behind the door. The owner of the facility will cut the lock to a delinquent unit and raise the door for the first time, allowing bidders to peer inside for a brief moment, aided only by a flashlight.

BIO
Add caption
BRANDI PASSANTE@Brandipassante
Brandi Passante has been a fan favorite on Storage Wars for years. She's originally from Houston, Texas and moved to Orange County when she was just a teenager, meeting Jarrod not long after. Brandi is the ultimate supporter... of her kids, that is. She loves being a mom and spends lots of time reading to Cameron and Payton, playing games with them, and encouraging their endeavors. With Jarrod she's more of an eventual supporter, because it usually takes her some time to come to terms with his crazy schemes. As a result, the family joke is that Jarrod doesn't get in trouble; he's always in trouble. Like many mothers, Brandi is the voice of reason in a chaotic household. Brandi describes herself as classy, and sassy. She loves to cook, but hates to clean up. She loves to entertain, and loves it more when everyone gets the hell out! When asked why she's still with Jarrod, Brandi will joke that it's because she's a glutton for punishment... but the truth is that no matter how much he infuriates her, he can always make her laugh.



JARROD SCHULZ @Jarrodmschulz
Jarrod Schultz, "The Young Gun" from A+E’s smash hit Storage Wars started buying storage units and opened a thrift store as just another opportunity in a long line of "unique" business ideas. And lucky for he and his family, this one struck gold! Jarrod has lived in Orange County his whole life. He describes himself as the ultimate facilitator; "I don't know how to do everything, but I know how to hire the guy that can." Jarrod's a big risk taker, and with that comes big rewards. Sure he's fallen down a few times, but he's got a great support system. And number one on that list is Brandi. Without her Jarrod doesn't know where he would be. Everyone's seen them bicker, but Jarrod thinks the key to their relationship is that they never give up, "We fight through the fights. And that's what's up." Jarrod loves pinball, beer, and anything with a motor. He does NOT like losing. A little known fact? Jarrod's a morning guy; "I peak at 10am, then it's all downhill from there!"

HISTORY


HISTORY® TURNS THE LENS ON ASIA’S BEST SHUTTERBUGS FOR
THE THIRD TIME WITH NEW SEASON OF PHOTO FACE-OFF
- 13 amateur photographers give it their best shot to be crowned champion

Philippines, July 7, 2016 - After two successful seasons, A+E Networks® Asia’s original production PHOTO FACE-OFF is set to return on HISTORY® for season three. Viewers in the Philippines can look forward to the five episode series’ premiere on September 8, Thursday at 9pm. 

Award-winning resident professional photographer Justin Mott is back to take on a new group of amateur photographers who will compete against him, and each other, for the top prize. For the third consecutive year, Canon will be the series’ presenting sponsor, in association with Silk Air. This season’s pool of talented photographers are vying for an overseas trip to the Canon Photo Clinic, a Canon EOS 7D Mark II camera + Canon Red Line Professional Backpack and the opportunity to photograph a red carpet event for A+E Networks.

Besides picking up valuable photography tips from the region’s leading experts, viewers will also experience some of Southeast Asia’s most unique activities and exotic locales. From capturing a figure skater in action, to styling and shooting an album cover for a popular local band, this year’s challenges will be more exciting than ever.

Three local amateurs in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand will be given new photographic challenges each week in their home town, designed to test the shooters’ creativity, skill and technical knowledge. A panel of professionals will judge their work and the pack will be whittled down after each challenge until there is one country representative who will then move on to the grand finale in Vietnam.

Each episode will feature a three-round battle: a speed challenge which will require them to think on their feet and race against time; a theme challenge where they will have to meet a client’s brief; and a final face-off where the last one standing will compete head to head with expert Justin Mott for bragging rights and Canon prizes.

PHOTO FACE-OFF is the first and biggest photography reality competition television series in Asia and is produced by Beach House Productions for A+E Networks Asia.

HISTORY™ is available on SKYCable Ch 67; Cable Link Ch. 43; Dream Satellite Ch 30; Destiny Cable Ch 57; and Cignal Ch 125.

ANCIENT ALIENS examines 75 million years of the most credible alien evidence here on Earth, from the age of the dinosaurs, to ancient Egypt, to the skies over the western desert in the present day US. Ancient cave drawings of strange creatures, an asphalt-like substance in an Egyptian pyramid made from the remains of unidentified creatures, continued mass sightings in the USA -- these are just a few of the strange stories that will be investigated.

Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode in this hit HISTORY series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding this age old debate.
