Goldtaucher der Beringsee

The Kelly's have no clue how to run a successful business , karma will get you every time , grifters. They need to be barred from doing business in nome I can't believe they have not been run out of town by now most communities in this country would not put up with them you can spot their grift fro a mile away they think they are gonna fake it til they make it but ain't gonna happen , it's like watching the tax and wily coyote chase each other trying to get gold in the process , @#$& &$#@ man old man get it together boys and leave the pomeenkes alone you can't steal there knowledge and expertise that is earned through sweat equity boys.

FIRST IMPRESSION (seasons 1 and 2)

Yes I'm hooked on this latest reality offering. BSG is a must see if you enjoy seeing a disparate group of quirky characters struggle to get rich quick. Many are up to their eyeballs in debt and need a mini El Dorado to put them back on their financial feet. Most people contemplate panning or digging for their gold. Not this group of adventurers. They all go out to sea on dinky little barges and dive for their gold. Sucking up the booty from the sea floor using industrial strength vacuum hoses. All except the Pomrenkes who mine from a massive barge using a dredge to scoop up gold bearing silt.

I love the contrasts of characters in this show. The aforementioned Pomrenkes exhibit the classic father and son schism that makes for good drama. Zeke lusts after Emily to no avail. Emily has aspirations to be an opera singer. Yeah right! And Sarah Palin had aspirations of being president. Emily's dad is a complex character who drives his boss Vern crazy. And then there's Scott, an anti hero if ever there was one. I was amazed to see him return for a second series. Not only that, he had 'friends' working on his boat. Although I don't know how long they'll last as friends.

All in all it's a very entertaining show. I doubt whether any of them will become rich but they are on an interesting journey.

LATEST IMPRESSION (seas0ons 3 and 4)

Sadly BSG has now become a farcical soap opera. Little time is now spent focusing on gold dredging. Season 4 is more about the antics of featured 'personalities' such as Brad Kelly, Shawn Pomrenke and Emily Reidel. I find none of these people particularly appealing and personally question the authenticity of this show. Some say it's scripted and I wouldn't be surprised if that was revealed to be the case. Call me cynical but I smell a rat. I now find this show hard to watch and sincerely hope the producers return the focus of the program to gold digging adventurers trying to make it big.

Season 15 Has this show finally jumped the shark with a pathetic fist fight taking place on the pier? I just laughed at what I saw.

If you also feel jaded by this version of 'reality' then you could do a lot worse than watching Yukon Gold, a show without the gimmicks that BSG feels is necessary to chase the ratings.

Every episode is the same stuff. Repetition of the same footage over and over and over and over and over again. Flashbacks and "now on's" every other minute. For some reason the makers must think I am stupid to fall for these fillers. Well, I might have been, but not any more. Goodbye.

We are amazed that you have ruined this show with the most irritating pair of father and daughter morons, slappable ,pretentious, hard to look at or listen to, ferret faced, big beaked worst excuse for entertainment possible jerk offs!!!

It has been a really interesting and entertaining show and was for a while, until the latest seasons. Not sure if they have new editors/production team or what, but they turned a really good show into a really, really bad and cheesy sitcom clown fiesta.
