tomturd Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone watch it? Think its just called "Gold Rush" over here. Basically a bunch of n00bs trying to be gold miners, pretty amusing to watch at times. I'm pretty addicted to it, and according to wikipedia season 3 starts on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Watch Bering Sea Gold, sounds pretty similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 "Deadliest Catch" is the best one of these kind of shows. I've watched this, it's the usual USA TV show that's actually a lot more scripted than it seems but still pretty interesting non the less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I watch it and deadliest catch but only on discovery uk pretty sad really hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Couldn't sleep last night so ended up watching the first 3 episodes. Its really, really bad, but so really really good. Like I don't think I'll stop watching because I want to know what happens!The funniest thing was when that guys wife came down started bitching at him, they actually stated working lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Do yourself a favour and watch the next 3, totally addictive. I think I just like watching big trucks and diggers. I'm pretty jealous of Parker Schnoble (not sure if you've been introduced to him yet?). And yeah, Bering sea gold is another good one, not quite as good as GRA IMO but still really good - it gets a 9/10 from me (10/10 for GRA ). No news on when season 2 starts yet, but it must be soon. And of course deadliest catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Anyone want to go halves on a boat? I know its not as easy as it looked but the idea of sucking mud off the sea bed for 30,000 a day seems fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its not as easy as it looked but the idea of sucking mud off the sea bed for 30,000 a day seems fun. 30k a day? Where'd you get that from. I think on a very successful trip, maybe about $1k a day per deck hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from the end of the programe. I didnt factor in costs, splitting or bad days. That doesn't matter when there's gold in them hills.

CalRobbo341 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 What channel is this on Tom? I seen it once (I think) One of the men was like begging his daughter for some money or something similar, recently got V Box in my room, I'm guessing 210+'s like quest, discovery, ect?

Simpson Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Na that was his sister, think she gave him $40k and in the whole season they made less than 20. Seems kinda pointless keep having a programme which is, money will run out tomorrow - and then never does. Dese guyz gt deep pokets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on discovery over here, just called "Gold Rush" I think. But there are full episodes on youtube Na that was his sister, think she gave him $40k and in the whole season they made less than 20. Seems kinda pointless keep having a programme which is, money will run out tomorrow - and then never does. Dese guyz gt deep pokets! Yeah, its a bit of a joke really. But I'm still sucked in by it.

Radfax Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I love Gold Rush, and swamp people (the fruit jobs that catch alligators). Don't know why have them set on series record, seriously pissed off if i miss one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocktrials Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Watched both seasons when they were shown in US. Thanks for leetting me know S3 is out soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm guessing the uk isnt that far behind. They are just wrapping up season 2 as the snows about it hit. I also watch Auction Hunters saying that i pretty much just watch the discovery channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Terrible news. Wikipedia has lied! According to tvrage or somewhere the first show of season 3 will be October 25th (if I remember correctly). Massive downer I'm guessing the uk isnt that far behind. They are just wrapping up season 2 as the snows about it hit. I also watch Auction Hunters saying that i pretty much just watch the discovery channel. Auction hunters, swamp people, swamp loggers, extreme loggers.. anything with logs, gold or diggers really - all awesome. I think How Its Made might deserve a new thread though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Is stuff stupidly expensive in Alaska? Just watching gold divers and the "boats" are terrible. They look like the Alaskan equivalent of an allotment shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I guess it must be. All looks a bit bleak and remote out there, I prefer the warmness of Gold Rush. The barge with a JCB on the back is pretty cool though. And the fact they use engines to pump warm water into their wetsuits - pretty genius!

Danny Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Didn't the big barge find nearly as much in a day as the Gold Rush guys found in a season? (100oz ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
