Gold Rush: White Water

The black guy and Stampler are the laziest pussies ever to be on whitewater.if they replace Stampler you would get a lot more work done. I would love to see you guys succeed but working with lazy people like the ones I have described it is a losing proposition. Kayla out works the men.

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.

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!

Ok so I got into gold rush from the beginning with Todd Hoffman and that crew of clowns. The show is awesome and over the years it's kind of gotten bogged down and chopped up into a million different spin offs with different characters. Discovery along with a lot of other cable networks has struggled for content and its glory days of the early episodes and Deadliest catch etc.. I just don't think they can keep up with the streaming services which is the case unfortunately for many networks, but with Gold Rush "white water" they hit on an exciting premise. It's beautiful scenery in the mountains of Alaska where it is truly wild and untouched for most part. It's insanely dangerous and although these guys aren't the big operations that this area probably requires to be properly mined, they try anyway, and somehow they make it work. As far as logistics and making it safe as possible. These are just everyday guys, veterans and some old timer gear heads who can build and weld about anything. So in that way it is impressive. The dangers they constantly face and diving in that white water is totally insane. I love watching the show but calling them "gold miners" is a bit of a stretch. I mean 9 seasons and I think maybe they have found 15 ounces of gold lol. These poor guys always seem so close and then Mother Nature throws them a giant bolder or a flood wiped away their rudimentary set up and they have to start over. So in that sense the show is entertaining, more than anything else. The group it like able for most part besides Dustin. He's not as bad as some say. The guy puts up all the money and is under what seems is tremendous pressure and also probably in debt so his attitude is understandable. Now that Dakota Fred is gone the fighting between the 2 is over and although it was entertaining I'm glad Fred is gone (as far as being on the show). The bottom line is that White water is very entertaining as long as you don't expect them to find gold lol. The possibility is always there and once and a while a nugget or 2 comes up (I'm convinced they plant nuggets sometimes lol).but they always seem to conveniently run out of time or something and don't get the "big haul". I think this season they gotta find good gold or there's no way these guys can go out there and keep doing this insanely dangerous mining for basically nothing. They must get paid from discovery , but what I've heard that's not very much . I'm rooting for Dustin and the boys. White water has been by far the most entertaining and best spin-off of the legendary original seasons of gold rush. At some point a gold mining show needs to find some gold lol. Long live the guy who was on the first season who was addicted to pain pills. He was hilarious 🤣

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.
