Gold Rush: White Water

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 have never written a review to any tv show in my life but after watching the latest episode of white water, I had to set up an account and leave a review of what I think was a horrible behavior (I'm been polite here) by Dustin. What happened to you from Porcupine times to turn you into this hater, egocentric maniac that speaks to people or better yet, to employees, the way that you do? I know better, no one does it better or how I wanted, no patience for anyone! I felt bad for you in the past while now you are coming accross as petulant know it all overgrown child. Shame on you for doing this to someone after it was done to you and knowing what it feels like. Between you and me... treat me like that and you might have ended up in the fire pit. Douche. Besides that, love the show. Fred it's coming along great. Keep it up.

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 🤣

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 liked the start of this program . It was interesting and had me hooked. But, after watching the first espisod (02/23/18 only to see it was a repeat of last year I was disappointed. Fire the writers and crew and call it a day!
