My version of gold fever is gold TV show fever, which i have recently acquired.
I started out with gold rush and ran out of shows fast and moved onto Yukon gold. Then i started this show and had high hopes, but was soon disappointed.
I heard critique that gold rush was more about the drama, than the hunt for gold. If you in any way agree with this, don't start watching this show. The nature of the Bering sea is, that there aren't many days on the water. Due to this, it seems like they fill the show with conflicts between and within the crews. If this is entertainment value for you, go ahead. If not, don't. The nature of these crews are way more dodgy than the other gold shows out there, and really, it's the characters in this show that puts me off.
The Pomrenkes: father son conflict. The son seems to be a massive alcoholic.
The edge dredge: who in their right mind brings a crush who wants nothing romantic to do with you to live/work with you 3 months straight, 2 seasons in a row.
The Meisterdude: What a fricking a-hole. He deserves nothing
The blue boat: risking his retirement by hiring incompetent, half blind Steve with massive authority issues 2 seasons in a row on a boat where there by default is a captain is probably the dumbest move of any. When i found out the girl was Steve's daughter, her opera aspirations instantly fell into place and thought: u'd do good by settling for Zeke.
I felt a bit more stupid after watching. Worst gold show i've seen.
