This year I'm struggling to find a reason to keep watching. I don't care for the "jungle gold" version, it's hard to believe that could be a money-making proposition for a crew, not to mention far more dangers than when they were in Alaska. We shall see as the season progresses. We loved Deadliest Catch, it was the contrasting personalities and family relationships that made it good. In my mind, Gold Rush hasn't reached that standard. I find it very hard to like Todd Hoffman.Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40283593472896995992013-11-01T21:50:12.521-04:002013-11-01T21:50:12.521-04:00I used to watch this show every Friday night.

There's something shady about that crew. Too much goes on under the table, I think. Like they are raking in more than they let on. Fred acts like he's living in a frontier town in the Old West. But it's not an act.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-63757822052606173152013-11-01T21:29:34.518-04:002013-11-01T21:29:34.518-04:00We only have over the air TV so never have seen ei...We only have over the air TV so never have seen either of these shows.
