mrcustoms Review of Gold Rush: White Water

Gold Rush: White Water (2018– )

Does anyone else thing the $50k loan from Todd Hoffman was not real?

[13 February 2018]

This series was pretty entertaining (although Dustin has become a jerk) but does anyone else think the $50K loan was just a scripted plot device that Discovery used as an excuse for Todd to make guest appearances, add drama, and boost ratings? One reason I say this is because I don't get the worker that Todd sent to "observe" (forgot his name)... are we supposed to assume that Todd was paying him to work for Fred? That doesn't make any sense. Second, they only seem to talk about the $50k loan during occasional (what feel like) scripted segments. It felt like the director would show up and say "today we are going to shoot the scenes where you are worried about the loan". Since both Todd and Tony showed up it the series, it's not hard for me to believe that Discovery had a script for Parker to show up too but it either got cut out or Parker refused to do it.
