It's become so stupid & staged just barely watchable now,the only redeeming thing is Shelby.The venomous backstabbing craig & his manchild baby gabe are quite sickening to see of late & the other peanuts on the river just talking crap all the time.Quite obviously scripted & staged when you see the rygards looking,smiling at camera in the middle of a raging argument,seems that's all it's become now just faux arguing & terrible acting
I love the show but I wish two people would meet an untimely death and those would be Jimmy Smith and Craig Rygaard. Talk about two of the stupidest and biggest pieces of ****! James Smith is a great kid and I sure rooted for him when he finally lost his temper with the old man and took a swing at him. Nobody else deserves having the crap beat out of them other than Craig Rygaard. Craig's stunts in trying to get rid of Dave, though he does need to grow up, is just childish. Dave just needs to throw Craig out of the seat and down the hill. Maybe we'll get lucky and a tree will fall on him. I do have to agree with some posts about Ax Men and disagree with some. Connor Aviation was interesting the first few episodes but it got boring shortly thereafter. There are only so many interesting episodes as they have to test and train new helicopter pilots, but one must give credit to the piloting skills of Connor's head pilot. I do have to disagree with comments of the Alaska and swamp loggers. Our family just loves the craziness that is Shelby Stanga. I don't think I've ever heard of someone who is willing to jump into a river full of alligators. I keep expecting to see a bunch of bubbles as some gator drags off Shelby for dinner.
Kelly oaks should be thrown in prison and lose his logging license for life he has no right to be logging;he endangered lifes of the other crew.
An actually interesting job is being ruined again with the prescribed action from the History Channel (which really doesn't deserve its name). A series that nobody needs, even if the forests are often very beautiful ... but they are just simply felled here. Real information about the dialectical relationship of this profession to culture and nature can of course not be found here.
I had stopped watching this series years ago, when the extremely annoying scripted drama drove me off.
When I saw that it was back again, season 10, I watched episode 1 and woo-hoo! just logging! Interesting info from the loggers, great video, and apparently, no scripted drama!
...until episode 2. Rygaard fake drama, father Vs son! ...again!
You've got to be kidding me! The show's been off the air for several years, your audience hating the fake drama, you get a reprieve with another season, and you jump right back into the garbage!
I'll watch a couple more episodes, then I'm bailing again, if the producers have continued ruining it.
This show should be for guys that enjoy watching an interesting job, not for Hollywood. This is exactly why I bailed on Gold Rush, years ago.
