Gold Rush Alaska

So does anybody watch this? What are your comments. I'll add mine if anyone's been watching it. Thanks

yup i watch it, the last couple episodes have been funny for me, they wont listen to the experienced guy that the owner of the land sent up but if you watch the earlier episodes they say the will take all the help the can get and the old guy that was sent up there hasnt been wrong when a problem comes up and the crew wastes hours of work when if they listened to the old guy they would have been done in 10 minutes

I enjoyed it for a while but it is starting to get old watching them constantly fail

They kinda remind me of a bunch of school kids going looking for buried treasure in the woods out back. They load up all their ho hos and ding dongs, and crap that doesn't work, and go on a treasure hunt. The whole show is centered around how unorganized they are, and how they thought nothing out, except getting mega rich.

Oh yeah, I'll watch the last episodes, but if this crap goes a second season, I'm not giving any promises on watching it.

If i was the owner of the land they would all be asked to leave at the end of the season...They are ripping apart his property and have no clue of whats going on..Harness is argueing with a experienced miner and the owners eyes and ears? WHAT A JOKE

They had no idea what to do with that shaker machine. Unbelieveable! It was their most important tool.

There's something about a train wreck that makes it hard to look away.

 

[HICKMAN]

they would have been better off buying lottery tickets

I still don't understand the family thing?? It's a dangerous place, with dangerous equipment, and dwindling supplies. So why expose your family to this place, even though it was incredibly beautiful.

I looked at it like it was a mission, and you wouldn't take your family to a battle zone. Our service men have to sacrifice for much longer periods of time without family. These guys couldn't go 4-5 months? C'mon!

i like how darcey left and went on the boat for a day and made 600 bucks. when the operation put the rest of them in the hole for $1000 just on operating costs

I kinda like TLC too. I think they did a good job with Sarah Palin's Alaska. Breathtaking stuff, and Alaska is gorgeous too!

I liked how no one was smart enough to walk up stream to see where there water was coming from until someone got sick. I think if I am going to live in the wild and use the water without filtering it I would have hiked a few miles to figure out where is was coming from or at least what was in it.

Yeah, they have all that glacier fed, fast moving water out in front of them, and they're taking water from a stream trickling down the mountain beside them. Someone missed Boy Scout Training 101.

Agree. I watched the first 2 episodes then I started FF to the end to see if they actually did anything productive.

A lot of fail in the first few episodes. I picked Darcey out as a weak sister the first episode; he brought nothing to the table but desperation and attitude. Knew he would not last. The rest of the stuff - fighting, not knowing what they are doing, etc. could have been taken care of by contacting consultants who knew what to do, before they started.

Of course, you wonder how much of this crap is staged for the screen, like bringing up the families, the fights, the lack of planning. Every show needs a crisis, and if they had just gotten squared away, worked hard, found gold and processed it, a lot of people would not watch the show.

Every time I get drawn in and start hoping they succeed, I realize DISCOVER is going to cut them all a nice check and they will never run out of $$ for fuel, food or anything else as long as filming is going on.

I just love to hear it when they go to the neighbor and say how he mines 30k worth of gold a day with himself and his grandson..and across the way u have all 7 of the knuckleheads running around in circles

 

[Marc]

keep in mind they found their first nugget so now with 5 months under their belt the all pro miners and no one can tell them what to do now not even a lifetime miner cause they already know everything... kinda like the funny yote hunting video on here
