La ruée vers l'or : le défi des Hoffman

I'm getting tired of hearing that this is Jacks final year when everyone knows that he will decide to come back. Jack has a nerve to blame Andy for the run off problem when he has been nothing but a screw up himself!! Last time I checked Andy never knocked over a wash plant like Jack did in South America!!

Jack needs to get over himself and just wash gold, that is the simplest job you can have! Jack is a grandpa and he should just concentrate on being that and nothing more because his contributions to the Hoffman effort has been minimal at best!

Thurber needs to man up and stop crying all the freaking time, that is also getting old!!

Who is the worst? This mine owner Jason could well be a dumber miner then Todd. He had a crew there that had now cleaned any gold. Trucks and wash plants that are falling apart. Water lines patched with duct tape what a laugh.

Can't help but feel a bit sorry for the hoffmans when I watch this show. Over the last gold rush years it got painful to watch Todd but he was gold rush in my eyes.

Now everything has moved on and I can't help but think to myself "should have left it".

Throw into that Hunter Hoffman who is probably at home every night crying that he's not Parker and desperately wanting screen time. It's all a bit of a mess.

I have been waiting for Todd and crew to get back in action. I have not watched Gold Rush since Todd left. Oh, yes, I watched a few episodes here and there but it wasn't the same. Can't wait for season 2.

Todd Hoffman, is a bit of a narcissist. He know just enough to think he knows it all, and in reality he is a completely clueless when it comes to mining. He insists on running the equipment when ever anything crucial is about to take place, and he is simply a terrible operator. He has no clue how to lean on the expertise of his crew, he keeps doing the most basic mistakes. He does not know the basics of running machines, maintenance, capabilities, risk factors. He does exactly the wrong things, at precisely the wrong times. This makes him really entertaining to watch though, since he keeps doing the same insanely stupid things over and over.

If he fails at something, he is always blaming the equipment, and the persons standing closest to him.

He has this weird idea, that the only thing that held him back in the past was the quality of the equipment.

But no, It was the naivety of a toddler, falling for scams, and going on wild goose chases without realizing his own limitations.

Luck, will only get you this far. IF he'd hired actual miners to RUN his mine, he would be a success.

But yeah, to sum it up, it's hilarious to see him elaborate and go on about things completely unrelated to the problems he is facing, as if he knows what he's talking about. He has the audacity of talking down the people who actually has half a clue.
