Yep, I hate how these so called reality shows play up the drama so much...its sad. Its to the point all of them seem so fake I can't give any of them credit even if it were due. Appearantly the producers figure just filming a bunch of real miners wouldn't attract enough viewers.

Well the new show was interesting. Red zone camp needs food, so pony-tail loads up and heads out into the foggy unknown without a GPS. Only his wits, (:laughing7:) and a film crew. "Luckily" he stumbles right into camp, claiming to have spent a night on the trail, which the film crew must have missed. I think it was 5 miles....left in the morning, and got there the next day.

Finally after days with blinders on, the miners look a couple hundred feet from where they are sampling, and there are the monster rubies. And then an obviously staged "accident" where the boss grabs the small jack hammer to help remove a ruby worth perhaps $500,000 and he breaks it with his first blow. Whaaaat???????

The mystery boat....gone....not mentioned this episode.

I'm also curious about their weapons.....where are the guns? The red team is starving, and there seems to be Caribou in the background of every shot. I would think when you are mining something as valuable as they say these rubies are, personal protection in the form of a rifle would be mandatory.

But, with all my whining being said, I'm still watching the show, and will continue to do so.:tongue3:

I'm sure they have sharp shooters in the Backround.
can't show them on TV it would cause the wrong type of Drama.

What's this with them wanting to get rid of another Member ?

Greed setting in ? The less crew the More per split ?

Or turning it into big brother :(

next thing ya know they will have to have a Tribal Council every other week

Tribal council - LOL good one Jeff!
 

That guy John would be on the next boat to anywhere. Why would you go to the ends of the earth and put up with an attitude like that?
 

Tried to watch the show tonight, but there was so much
BS drama that I gave up and turned it off. Playing solitaire
was much more enjoyable than listening to grown men whining
about everything under the sun.
 

Wow, a geologist puts rocks with rubies in a rock crusher. Are you serious? Any moron could tell you this isn't a good idea. Such a comedy of errors. Looking more like the Hoffman fiasco every week. Dennis

I thought of Todd Hoffman the moment they found out they were on the wrong claim :laughing7:
no matter, I'm about to give up on the show with all their Drama over that John Guy.

if they are going to continue to Whittle down the original crew out of jealousy , greed,
personalities or whatever I'm done with them. I don't watch survivor because of the Politics & Voting members off, I won't watch 2 1/2 men because they got rid of the Charlie Character,
or any other show where they get rid of members whether the show is considered Reality or
pretend. I hate personal drama brought into what I try to enjoy on TV

Exactly ! it's getting Obvious this is either Scripted to look like he's in the way,

Or he wants to retire from the show but they have to make Drama out of it before they let him
out of his contract.

Either way, I'm calling BS & probably my last season of watching this show
 

I really enjoyed this show last year but its been a drama fest and a lot of staged crap this year....yawn. What else would you expect from discovery tho.
 

This show must have the same writers as those that write the scripts for the HOFFMANS. How in the hell can 7 so call prospectors/miners not know where their claim is located, furthermore why was the cords not double and triple checked. This show like all the others is a joke. You have staff writers, camera crews, etc. and not to mention the producers who are placing hundreds if not millions of dollars into this show and you would think someone in the bunch has a brain and can use it. How hard is it to look at a GPS, maps, etc. and give the helo pilot the correct cords. Do you really think the locals are going to tell them where to search for gold, furthermore can they just go wherever and search for gold without permission or claims in a foreign country. The idiot with the rock crusher is even worse...

This show stinks!!!

Yeah they lost me when they broke that supposed 500 carat ruby.

Me too but for another reason: in the mineral specimen field, reassembly of a specimen is a normal part of the process so the drama about losing all the value by breaking it was just noise (no signal, just noise).
 

hahaha,a good friend of mine called me all the way from Colorado laughing about the idiot who put the rubies in a rockcrusher! i laughed also about it. BUT i still say that was tod and his dad out in that boat in the bay watching them! no kidding! that boat tipped to one side when Tod walked to get another sandwich!!!Nothing like carring a big dredge 1/2 mile across a boulder feild to their claim.
