Gold Rush: Parker's Trail

Just finished last episode of Parkers Trail season 6. What a business deal Parker made with Cancio. Poor Cancio desperately needed some help with the deal they struck. Parker played a poker face which was obvious to me but not Cancio. Parker gives him 25 k and takes 50% of the gold Cancio and family find!! WOW!! Parker pry spends 25k everyday or 2 for operating costs in the Yukon. Parker kept saying what a gamble it was for him to the Camera, Not hardly, that's chump change to Parker. He'll Parker seen the gold and found Cancio's recovery rate to be INCREDIBLE!! A gamble?? Not hardly. Parker struck the deal of a lifetime, now I hope he can sleep ok! I remember when Parker moaned, groaned and whined when evil Tony come to collect his royalties every gold weigh and I think it was like only 20%.😜

As an Aussie I'm probably going to be biased here. The best season yet of Gold Rush: Parker's Trail. You see lots of gold and mining, what more can you ask from a show about gold mining? The diversity of mining techniques is interesting in itself, and some are seriously dangerous.

You can tell Parker has a thing for Tyler and vice versa, nothing like a little romance in the outback.

I've seen the Super Pit first hand, and it's big, you can't really appreciate its size, you can't wrap your head around how deep it is, the trucks are so small, yet you know a wheel is twice the height of an average bloke. Just wow!

The season is a little patchy, but there's enough to make it worth your while.

Out of 10 espisodes 3 were literally throwaways. if you don't have enough content to fill 10 episodes you should have just stuck with 6. watching this 3rd season was a pain. it's like some poorly planned travel show.

Really enjoyed this season, the idea of travelling virtually all the way around Australia is something I wouldn't mind doing myself. Lots of interesting places, and they met some excellent people on the way round. We got to meet the very talented and knowledgable Tyler who I hope joins them on the next adventure wherever that may be. Don't want to give any spoilers away but this is definitely worth a watch for any Gold Rush fan.

A lot of effort and planning has gone into making this programme to make it work logistically. It's a shame it doesn't live up to its potential. I'm a big fan of the gold rush series, I think they work because most of the characters are as interesting as watching the gold come out of the ground. This is where this series fails for me, Parker is true to himself, I don't feel like he's playing to the cameras he's pretty dry and quite moody at times but I accept him for who he is and quite like him. Tyler's an ok addition although I think she lacks a bit of presence and personality to carry of her roll. I can't workout why Wow check out the sluice Dan is almost carrying the production or seemingly so. It doesnt work for me at all, either shoot shots and shut up or get rid of him, he's incredibly irritating to watch. Could be so much better with a bit less drama and less cheese. Ok if you don't feel like using your brain too much on a Sunday afternoon.
