Go hard Emily

Not much to be said other than the fact it's an odd ball show of hardship. Looks like a die-hard way to make money, hangin under the water like that.
Best part about it is Emily who looks like shes goin to get the sack. I hope she can hang in there and entertain us a bit more.

very badly scripted show , pitty it goes into all the dramas instead of showing a bit more about the gold and mining. Have you seen any of the new series check out http://dsc.discovery.com...a-gold-under-the-ice.htm that takes it one step further they are dredging underneath the sea ice. also a couple of episodes on youtube.

One word. "Robot submarine".

OK. Two words then.

Actually, you could build one here, with solar/current charging and GPS, and send it up there on autopilot. (Evil laugh).

With the sea ice fast disappearing, there's going to be a lot more areas up there open to gold exploration, too.

Havent seen the ice version. It sounds even more adventurous than the one on at presant, but if theres GOLD i will watch it. If there's GOLD baring b...s i'll watch even more. Thats highly unlikely tho.

Still havnt watched the last show yet, if only i could stay awake long enough. There was a BSG marathon on all day and i still missed it. I see Emily is still around tho, guess she will be for a while. Not to mention Psycho Scott.

Give Scott a break. He's been driven around the bend by Emily's father. That guy is such a an annoying prick.

You'd be the same if you were stuck on a tiny boat with TWO CLUELESS deckhands. You would seek the safety of alcohol induced sedation.

As for Emily, she falls in all the time and then freezes her nuts off. All the while there's a wetsuit and a hot water pump right next to her. Doh.

As the saga continues it gets more interesting. Zeke confesses his love for Emily as she smiles around at the local pub with fellow diggers. In total disppear he kicks her out and sacks her off the job. I guess that was a bad decision bringing her onboard, or was it. Give him a big E for effort and thats it.
Scott flips his usual lid and is left alone on the Wild Ranger. Totally GOLDless he lowers himself to invite the crew back but that all falls apart as well. Great season for him with only .75 of an ounce of GOLD.. oops.
The last episode looks hilerious.

After the Dredge

Anyhows, I posted this thread in the talk shite section and it got moved up here..oh well, so here it continues GOLDheads.
...Cant blame Emily as she is on her own. Only Zeke and her ol' man to stick up for her. Scott is set up, g's them all up and takes a few swings at fatboy after cronic acusations and a few top shelfs. GOLD everywhere, booze babes and snow, my kind of show despite previous slanders.

and all faked with payed actors. they could've got .75 oz of 200 oz, but for televisions needs for drama to amuse the gulable tools out there no one will ever know the truth about how good or bad they done.
the scripting and acting is as bad as shortland street lol

Yeah. I still say Scott wasn't the biggest problem, it was that sniveling fuckhead Steve, and the other loser employee Jason that's now under "house arrest".

It's not Scott fault the Wild Ranger was set up all wrong with a sluice that was shitting all the gold out the back of it. He was handed a pup and a psycho boat crew.

I still think Scott 2 (the guy that flew in to help out the brainless boat builder Ian who build the "Sluicey") should have teamed up with Scott and Emily and got the Wild Ranger tuned up and producing gold for the last bit of the season.

Sigh. Serious lack of engineering skills within the crews too.

..you wanna go Vern.

''Every right i gave him to his forehead was because he called me a ....''.You got it, the team goes for round two over drinkies. Scott talks about the fight with Bigboy and sounds like hes keen to throw a few more after accusations of theft and lies. A few extra top-shelfs should sort that out. Emily sung some opera last show, very geeky but cool. Maybe she will sing us a song again next episode., this wednesday, be there or be square.

End of season.

Christine Rose, Sluicy, Wild Ranger and The Clark. End of the season and they all found GOLD, some more than the others. The last episode was pretty quiet with no rumbling... that was the good bit... And Emily if your reading this post i dont blame you for Stayin away from Zeke. Good luck.

Zeke showed irrationality by going off at Ian and Scott2 for their comments regarding Scott1 being a hard worker and preferring to work with him than Steve Riedel, along with the throwing or jumping overboard comments.

Just Zeke's desperate attempts to get in Emily's pants.

I'd work with Scott1 over Steve any day of the week. Steve is an annoying fuck, he knows it, and gets his kicks from being so.

Now if it was me I would of let Scott clobber who he likes, smack Zeke and see if you can straighten that face a bit and run off with Emily and made sure she stays warm enough.

Im just too kind hearted I guess?

Cheers MM.

You all clearly need to get out more.

You'd be better calling your phone and walking around listening for it. (Not that I am speaking from experience lol)
