Blind Frog Ranch - Die Schatzsucher von Utah

I was excited because I thought this show was about retrieving gold from an underground cave that was hard to get to. It's disappointing because it rather focuses on a cursed or haunted land. Every supernatural moment, emergency, or finding is clearly staged will leave you either laughing or saying bull s$&t. It's sad because this show could have been better. A while ago, the History Channel stopped making shows about history and decided to focus on aliens and the end of the world. This show is an example of the Discovery Channel doing the same by focusing on ghosts, conspiracy theories, and false emergencies instead of great discoveries.

This show plays off of the fame of Skinwalker Ranch, which is a superb show, by the way, but this show comes in from a very different tack. It's way less scientific and ecologically considerate, with some different mysteries connected to the location, as well as some similar phenomena, and the excitement of poachers, thieves and spies. I find it to be a satisfying continuation of a show I cannot get enough of (Skinwalker), but a zanier version. I call it the "Hillbilly Version of Skinwalker" when I describe it to others I'm recommending it to. The accredited professionals they have aiding their search on this show are real and serious about what they do. I believe there is credence in this show, the history, and their quest; it's just different. If you don't like it, so be it, spare us your rantings.

So take a gold prospecting treasure seeking show and pretend your doing it on a type of paranormal hot spot . They actually setup game cameras and some local pretended to be shape shifting into Skinwalker . They actually put this in the show and expect people to believe it . It's a fake reality show for entertainment purposes .Circus folk with a budget.

Update season 3 has some fun moments . Regardless of fake or not it season 3 has some pretty fun entertainment . A prehistoric snake , quick sand , poachers ,.. definately fun.kinda stuff guys like technology and exploring and adventure .

So looking at some simple clues, the video footage doesn't make sense. The 'Aztec box' that is the center of the 'mystery' is supposedly over 500 years old. Look carefully at the video. The logs are barely coverd with any sediment, suggesting the logs have been buried for less then one year. Sorry Discovery, please do a better job with your soap opera series.

Eric Drummond - Ian disappointed to see you are a paid actor vs. An actual geologist. You should have stuck with ice cold gold...much more believable.

I like this show a lot. The negative reviews must be from people with no sense of adventure. The show is routinely entertaining and suspenseful. The format is typical reality show with repeated scenes before and after commercials, so that's why I say 8, not 9 or 10. Production does need to join 2022, and leave 2007 behind. Having said that, the guys involved in searching for the treasure are fun guys, with real personalities and their methods are unusual enough to provide some edge of your seat moments. Not sure why the negativity from others, but I plan to keep watching.
