Storage Wars stars Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz spent years together onscreen, starring in one of the best reality TV shows, and there's a mystery surrounding why they exited the series that introduced them to the public. Brandi and Jarrod split up, but the show has returned for the first time since 2021. Curiosity surrounded Brandi and Jarrod and their departure from the series, but things have become more apparent with time. Despite originally exiting, Brandi returns as part of the Storage Wars season 15 cast.
During its run, Storage Wars was a popular A&E show. The charismatic cast pulled in viewers from all over. Onscreen, buyers tried to outbid one another for units that could change their lives. Brandi and Jarrod became famous during their stints on the show, even though their relationship was complicated to watch sometimes. Some facts about why they initially exited the show have come to light.
Why Brandi & Jarrod Decided To Leave Storage Wars
In 2014, Brandi and Jarrod were offered the chance at a spin-off series, which caused them to leave the original Storage Wars cast for part of a season. Their spin-off, Brandi & Jarrod: Married to the Job, lasted for one installment and followed the couple in their day-to-day lives. Onscreen, they bickered, cracked jokes, and got their hands dirty while working at their thrift store. This spin-off showed the real lives of the couple and their two children, who were young at the time. Unfortunately, the show didn't last, and Brandi and Jarrod headed back to Storage Wars to continue starring in the series.
Was Leaving Storage Wars The Right Move For Brandi & Jarrod?
Brandi and Jarrod left Storage Wars to pursue other opportunities. Things didn't pan out, as the two wound up with only a single spin-off season. However, the fact that they were offered a series of their own, which they produced for one season, is still a feat. Due to the nature of Brandi and Jarrod's relationship, which always featured backhanded compliments and barbs that they aimed at each other, the spin-off may have ended at the right time. Showing just a season of the couple before putting them back on Storage Wars may have been the right call for the troubled pair.
Storage Wars is undeniably an A&E classic. Brandi and Jarrod were exciting to watch. Their dynamic was intriguing, and they were also good at their jobs. Overall, while short-lived, the couple's spin-off show was a great way for them to break away from the original series and strike out on their own. Thankfully, Brandi returned for season 15 after she and Jarrod split.
Storage Wars airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on A&E.
