Gold Rush: White Water (2018)
Carlos takes the show from a 6 to an 8
The whole team seem to work incredibly hard to try and reach their goal, but I do find it very annoying how the production team manipulate the "coming up" clips and glimpses to try and make the viewer think the whole event is more gripping than it really is. That's their job I guess! Months of slog followed by no gold is just the reality. I'm guessing the financial risk suffered by the Dakota boys is actually fairly low or non-existant. I would have given this show a 6, but the energy, attitude and sheer entertainment value of Carlos means I have to "bang this thing up a notch, brother!"
Gold Rush: Parker's Trail (2017)
Cheer up dude, you're on TV
Parker is undoubtedly a talented and driven guy. But, man is it difficult to watch his mood roller coaster sometimes. His colleagues all seem like good guys, but it is uncomfortable to watch Parker moan and generally behave atrociously to towards his friends. Why do I want to tune in to watch someone constantly be rude to those around him? Obviously this is a challenging undertaking for the team, but I don't see the rest of the expedition spiralling down into a dark funk of utter bummedoutedness. Maybe he'll chill on series 2!?
