Many parts of this show i clearly scripted. Like everything with Todd.Dustin's behavior was really bad, and i hope it is scripted. Espesially against the young kid... and that didnt even look scripted.The end of the series looked very scripted. And it was also i big disapointment.I wish this kind a shows had better leadership, and less drama. It would also be better if i got at least the feeling of it beeing geniune (autentic).

It's boring. Every other gold mining related show is better than this. Take away "Gold Rush" as it's lead in and viewership will be limited to family and friends of crew and cast members. I gave it a chance, watched the first 6 episodes, but it just isn't interesting.

I love every minute of it. Watched each episode back to back and one of the other reviews say they think the $50K is scripted but in one of the last episodes when Fred calls up Todd. Todd says the gold percentage can wait but he needs the $50K back. That's probably because he paid that diver $50K to be there.

This series was pretty entertaining (although Dustin has become a jerk) but does anyone else think the $50K loan was just a scripted plot device that Discovery used as an excuse for Todd to make guest appearances, add drama, and boost ratings? One reason I say this is because I don't get the worker that Todd sent to "observe" (forgot his name)... are we supposed to assume that Todd was paying him to work for Fred? That doesn't make any sense. Second, they only seem to talk about the $50k loan during occasional (what feel like) scripted segments. It felt like the director would show up and say "today we are going to shoot the scenes where you are worried about the loan". Since both Todd and Tony showed up it the series, it's not hard for me to believe that Discovery had a script for Parker to show up too but it either got cut out or Parker refused to do it.
