Jungle Gold

I tried to keep watching after they showed the reruns from last season. This season is even worse. I refuse to keep watching as these knuckleheads keep making the same mistakes, so much so, I feel like the show is fake and scripted. I am so sick of them, especially George. He seems to be so full of himself, I could see him being the bully in high school as another reviewer stated. Sorry you lost a ton of money in the real estate market, but find a real job in America, not third world Ghana. They can't be in too much debt as Discovery Channel has to be paying them something to do these stupid episodes. Wanted to like the show, hoping to see them find a ton of gold have a happy ending, but I'm done with the melodrama of it all. Buh-bye.

Here we are saying we have two at one point successful business men?, I fail to see how this is the case, These two men are absolutely useless in every sense of the word. They cant budget they can arrange well anything they lie and cheat there way into business agreements and thats just to start. I am appalled to say a friend in the states recommend this to me and have just watched 2 series. I am actually angry at the bumbling idiots I have watched. I am amazed they were able to procreate.... Any other gold program would be a massive improvement on this.Making television?, come on really watching a pair of useless idiots throw away any other opportunity would be much more fun. If you watch i hope you don't want to shoot yourself like myself. I know most is staged for television but really this had 3 million viewers per episode????

of mining, but if you look very carefully you can see all the damage being done to the land everywhere that has been mined nothing grows. It's easy to tell when an area has been mined. That's because almost a pound of mercury is released into the environment for every pound of gold removed. It goes into the land the rivers into the fish and anything in the food chain that eats those fish. The large mining operations recover most of their mercury and reuse it but these small operations don't and are very destructive. They come into these third world countries, take and giver nothing back, but expect us to sympathize with them. You can be successful in America. You don't have to go and rape some struggling country's rain forest.

This series is fantastic, I love the dramatics of certain scenarios. I love the educational side to it and the hustling, wheeling and dealing. It seems the bad reviews are based on viewers hating on the 2 guys, but to be honest i cant see myself hating them at all. They were rich and lost it, they would find something do make the money again in America but they didn't. They risk their lives to go to ghana, i would never go there myself for any kind of money. So imagine they lived a nice comfortable life when they were rich and now they are broke and in debt and there travelling around a third world country where they have been held up at gun point once or twice. Hats off to them really. I LOVE THIS TV SERIES!!!!

Can't root for the main guys cause: (1) they remind you of the overgrown meatheads that bullied people in highschool, and (2) they were previously millionaires who lost their money in something that was overvalued in the first place. Now they try to the same thing again, in a dangerous third world country. George especially bothers me, as his arrogance and anger may someday leave his children fatherless.

I tried to feel bad for the wives being left behind and in debt, but they're the ones that chose to marry these knuckleheads in the first place. From the looks of it, they probably met at the gym. The only ones you can feel for at all are the kids.

I saw only the pilot, but that was enough for me. Even though gold mining is very interesting to me, this did nothing to satisfy. I'll stick with waiting for the next episode of Gold Rush Alaska. If you haven't seen "The Jungle" special that was done for that show, its well worth the watch. Maybe someday that show and their team of 50 crew will produce a quality program about mining in the jungle.
