  1. No I wouldn’t be interested in watching anymore of the gold rush,I was a big fan but they have it figured out now. The hook was watching guys who didn’t know what they were doing deal with growing pains and we as a everyday joe could relate but Parker figured it out first it just a matter of time before they all figure it out and it’s just becomes a regular day at work.

  2. Dave was and is the best man for the job, give him his own show and I know about 70 to 80 families that would be watching every week.

  3. Yes, would love to see Dave succeed! Todd was an idiot and held the whole mining operation back!…Todd is what/who made their show fail!…Put Dozier Dave back in competition with Parker and the foul mouthed Tony!
