![]() It's a group of ragtag group of miners who are trying to find gold off shores off Nome, Alaska. If you also feel jaded by this version of 'reality' then you could do a lot worse than watching Yukon Gold, a show without the gimmicks that BSG feels is necessary to chase the ratings. Has this show finally jumped the shark with a pathetic fist fight taking place on the pier? I just laughed at what I saw. I now find this show hard to watch and sincerely hope the producers return the focus of the program to gold digging adventurers trying to make it big. Some say it's scripted and I wouldn't be surprised if that was revealed to be the case. I find none of these people particularly appealing and personally question the authenticity of this show. Season 4 is more about the antics of featured 'personalities' such as Brad Kelly, Shawn Pomrenke and Emily Reidel. Little time is now spent focusing on gold dredging. LATEST IMPRESSION (seas0ons 3 and 4) Sadly BSG has now become a farcical soap opera. I doubt whether any of them will become rich but they are on an interesting journey. All in all it's a very entertaining show. Although I don't know how long they'll last as friends. Not only that, he had 'friends' working on his boat. I was amazed to see him return for a second series. And then there's Scott, an anti hero if ever there was one. Emily's dad is a complex character who drives his boss Vern crazy. ![]() Yeah right! And Sarah Palin had aspirations of being president. Emily has aspirations to be an opera singer. The aforementioned Pomrenkes exhibit the classic father and son schism that makes for good drama. I love the contrasts of characters in this show. All except the Pomrenkes who mine from a massive barge using a dredge to scoop up gold bearing silt. Sucking up the booty from the sea floor using industrial strength vacuum hoses. They all go out to sea on dinky little barges and dive for their gold. Most people contemplate panning or digging for their gold. Many are up to their eyeballs in debt and need a mini El Dorado to put them back on their financial feet. ![]() BSG is a must see if you enjoy seeing a disparate group of quirky characters struggle to get rich quick. FIRST IMPRESSION (seasons 1 and 2) Yes I'm hooked on this latest reality offering. ![]()
