Well it was gratifying that in the latest episode (12-16), Marty Lagina echoed some of these thoughts. Starting at around the 03:25 mark:
----
Narrator: "The earth surrounding and beneath the shaft began to cave in. This has caused the team to believe that more than 100 cubic yards of soil, along with the possible treasure, may have fallen into a so-called solution channel or naturally occurring cavern in the bedrock some 200 feet underground."
Marty: "It really looks like the culprit for these collapses is so far this solution channel. The treasure could easily have fallen to 200 feet plus, and we haven't really searched that area."
Billy: "Right."
Marty: "If you had a chest of gold and it broke open, it'd be in the last inch.
...
If this solution channel which we know is quite large can be swallowing a hundred yards of sand and gravel overnight or during the day, uh, who knows how bad this could get.
...
We're gonna have to wait for the material to settle. It'll probably become more stable and we can come back close, and I wanna come back close. We have a renewed determination to get down, into that solution cavity. At least I do."
----
Also, coincidentally, one of the Adam and Dr. Drew podcast episodes from last week touched on the "cooking" or scripting of reality TV.
