Gold Rush, the popular reality show featuring Tony Beets and other miners, has been drawing criticism from fans recently. Beets himself expressed his disdain for the influx of people joining the family mining business, claiming that “99 percent of them are full of ****.” This sentiment seems to be shared by some viewers who have grown tired of the show’s focus on drama rather than mining.

Despite the criticism, the show still has a loyal following, particularly among those who have experience in the mining industry. However, there is an ongoing debate among fans about whether the show needs to be saved or not.

One Reddit user, feeling disappointed with the direction of the show, started a thread titled “What can they do to save this show?” While the rest of the post was removed by the moderator, the discussion that followed revealed differing opinions among fans. Many echoed Tony Beets’ concerns about the increasing number of newcomers in the mining business.

This division among fans reflects a general weariness with the show’s current format. Viewers have grown bored and irritated with the emphasis on drama and the constant race against deadlines that jeopardizes the miners’ livelihoods. As a result, there is a growing sentiment that the show needs to be revitalized in order to keep its audience engaged.

Tony Beets, the popular personality from the TV show Gold Rush, has garnered quite a following on YouTube. Fans of the show have expressed their fascination with the recent dinosaur discovery and have also noticed that the drone shots reveal a larger camp area than what is shown on the show. This has led some fans to believe that there may not be as many small businesses in the area as portrayed.

One fan commented that they enjoy watching the operations of experienced miners and are not interested in the manufactured drama that comes with smaller crews. They were glad to see Fred and his neighbors leave the show and have no desire for a replacement. Another fan mentioned that while the show has changed over the years, it still remains great. They compared the previous drama with the Hoffmans to the drama surrounding Fred, while appreciating the presence of professionals mixed with some idiotic drama. They acknowledged that the show is a reminder of the difficult realities of mining and find it interesting how Parker and Tony make it look easy.

On a personal note, one fan expressed their preference for watching Rick and Parker on the show. They used to be interested in Tony as well, but lately, they find him unwatchable. Another fan mentioned that they see the inclusion of new crews like the dinosaur find as filler for the season, but understand that it’s done to keep the audience engaged. They also stated that they prefer these new additions over characters like Fred and the financially struggling kid.

In conclusion, the opinions on the Discovery show Gold Rush vary among fans. Some believe that the show is fine as it is, while others have their preferences. Whether it’s the big players like Parker Schnabel and Tony Beets or the smaller family businesses, fans have different tastes. The comment section is open for further discussion and fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more Gold Rush news.
