Gold Rush has become stale and putrefied. The show has aged and decayed into a drone of contrived and rehearsed smack talk between a "lucha libre" bad guy "Rudo" and a good guy "Technico." An additional contrived character, an inept pathetic clown, serves as distraction between main events.
All the elements that might make "gold mining" interesting such as wildcatting, field engineering and cutting edge photography are long gone and forgotten. Four index cards now comprise the canned script of the entire show; have a fight, a mechanical breakdown, have a foil-clown dance around, and compare "the winnings." The net result is not a Gold Rush but Moldy Mush.
