Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine

OMG, could TV show producers seem any more desperate to milk every last ounce of footage out of a franchise that's already been beaten to death? This reeks of unmistakable phoniness, you can see the nonstop scripted (very poor) acting that tries desperately to be "reality" programming. Idiotic and vapid storyline, mind-numbingly-stupid plot twists, with poor Dave looking hither and yon for something decent to mine.

SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!! After about an hour of watching this dreary, oddly-draining, pointless drivel, you'll want to stab yourself in the eyes so you can't watch anymore. And then run out and deliberately try to catch the coronavirus so you can have a swift death with at least *some* dignity.

Way too much emotional bs. The big fat dumb mechanic needs to shut up. Oh it feels so good to turn on the plant, it feels so good to wash rocks, it feels so good to have water, blah blah blah. Just shut up already loudmouth!!

I've been a huge fan of Gold Rush since season 1, and have watched every episode up until now. Where the normal Gold Rush feels less scripted than Dave Turin's Lost mine, it is still a decent watch. There are some very cringe moments in which the crew praises Dave Turin as if he is some saint, which gives me the impression that there was a set agreement at the start of the season to praise Dave at every opportunity. The exploration of other mines is interesting, but the calculations afterwards are just odd and it feels like they're just naming (big) numbers to sound interesting. Where I rate Gold rush normally a 8, I rate this show a 6.

The most unlikable bunch of guys on Tv they are always calling each other family, brothers, then at the first sign of trouble they are back stabbing each other, moaning whining accusing. Only nice guy on it was Jessie and he gone now. Come on Dozer Dave are these the best guys you could find?

If I were leading a class of management trainees, I would highly recommend that they watch this series. Dave Turin inspires and builds a strong team. I amazed at the negative reviews. I was captivated by this series. I have watched the other gold series with Hoffman whining, Parker telling his people to "figure it out"., and Tony Beets being bleeped every other line. This was so refreshing.

I also like the Freddy Dodge series with Juna Ibarra. Nice guys!

Of course I may be biased, I love a series with Christian, family men who care about each other and their families.
