Goldrausch: White Water Alaska

This show could be an 8, 9 easily, just on its own merit, but the whiney, petulant, pouting, baby Dustin is a terrible distraction.

I know that Todd and Parker, and lately even Tony Beets have participated in unnecessary scripted soap opera nonsense in the "Gold Rush" series, but it's too bad they introduced it here, too.

If Dustin is behaving so badly - rude and so incredibly disrespectful to his father, moping around with a defeatist, impatient attitude *like a child*... if it's not done his way he does everything he can to make someone else's idea fail...if he's behaving like this because the show's producers asked him to, just to get a bit of drama in the show, shame on him! That makes it just as bad as if it is *not* scripted! What a goof!

I'll give it a charitable 5, because the other members of the crew, including dad, are so interesting to watch and listen to.

Note to the producers - if you want drama, put Dustin to work for Parker, and quit ruining this show!

I think you gold rush white water crews are awesome!!

As a person who has worked with my hands all my life I admire your superhuman strength day in and day out towards your dream?

Don't let any negative comments crush that.

I'm in my 60s now and the one thing you can't do is turn back time?

I dream of being on your crew Unfortunately, with a bad back probably the only thing I'd be good for his cooking you guys meals? And maybe fixing a few small things here and there?

You people are top notch with the biggest "You know what's!" I've ever seen!!

I pay good money to discovery Channel Just to watch your show? It's too bad about their tax problem, per se?

What they're doing is not fair to your fans. Or you .God bless all of you!!

I hope you suck out every smidgen piece of gold out of that mountain Stream Safe travels to you and your families.. Keep the dream alive!! Oh, and you might want to listen to Fred? I'm sure that old dog still has some wisdom to share?

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

It's a semi-scripted series, season 6 is great, they are Dustin's claims, he has bought them, he pays fir the equipment.

If the people around him didn't like it they would be out of there. Also they get paid by Discovery to appear! By crikey 4 or 5 months working hard getting many thousands per episode plus a % of any gold found... yeah Dustin must be upset by your reviews! He wins anyway!!! He gets some nice Gold, TV fees & repeats fees plus the world wide TV sales fees, then of course any appearance fees off season, any residuals like books, videos, T-shirts. Yeah Dustin and his team are crying in their champagne,

I have watched this show twice now and am thoroughly disgusted at Dustin's behaviour. The way he speaks to people and treats people is not acceptable. Especially his father. I realize that this show, like all the other reality shows, are scripted and if this is the type of behaviour that sells a show then it is wrong. If Dustin needs to be portrayed this way then he needs some help. Who would want to be portrayed as an egotistical abusive person for money. Dustin, if you think that makes you a hero, I've got news for you. I had so hoped the son of your father's girlfriend would have smashed you in the mouth, but to his credit he didn't. You sooo deserved it!

Yes, richlpz, I have never written a review either, but this show is not acceptable. Glad I am not the only one that thinks it is deplorable behaviour.

I like to see the gold that comes out, it's a testament to the advances we make as time goes on. What I can't stand is the monotonous drama week in week out. Even the actors, I mean minors don't look comfortable on the screen at times.

If they made a series a 2 hour long episode it would be more tolerable.
