In the beginning I thought Shawn and his dad an crew were the best and honest . Till season 5 when i seen how much Shawn and his creep of a dad was short changing their own crew.Paying them 50 ounces of gold when they got over 1300 ounces that season.I understand they're just employees but they did all the work when the creep was hiding in the cabin on the C.R. and Shawns in jail. And he leaves his employee to argue with the land owners but comes out like a big shot with a gun after they leave ! CREEP. And when its time to pay the guys it's like the employees should get down and kiss their feet. Creep and Shawn I thought they were going to start to cry when they handed over their employees wages.but what really lost my respect was Shawn buying the Kellys equipment out from under them .Are the that afraid of the Kellys? Shawn looked like he was holding his cheeks himself walking back to his shack.Shawns such a chicken afraid of his dad the big mouth Creep. i think he's more then just a gold miner i think he probably owns a white van?

I like all the characters on this show, especially Zeke, Emily, and the Kelly's. There is a lot of danger in the show and it keeps your attention all the way through. I'm really hoping there will be a season 9!

View MoreThis show has always been intensely, obviously fake to anyone with eyes and ears and half a brain, and you'll never learn anything about gold dredging, but it's become all about a scantily clad Emily Riedel, with producers contriving ridiculous situations to play on her gender or supposed sexual appeal, such as creating an "all girl" dredging crew filled with women who do nothing and quit, or having a romance with some guy named Zeke. Really, who cares? She's actually quite ugly inside and out. Not to mention that this is an insult to anyone who finds men attractive. They could have focused more on the obvious sexuality that men have with each other when stuck on a boat for long periods, rugged, real men and the sex that they have... but this suffers from "head and hands" syndrome, where you'll see no male skin other than their heads and hands. Everything else is covered up in layers of clothing because it's freezing cold out there in Alaska. Sometimes, even that is covered in gloves and airmasks and diving suits that wrap up and around the head. The exception would be Zeke, for whom producers obviously hired a nutritionist and fitness trainer so that he could look more muscular in a black T-shirt and strain to have chemistry with his on-screen girlfriend Emily, as she dives into the frigid water in a bikini, saying "dude" after every sentence, acting like a dramatic B-word or trying and failing to act like she knows what she's doing.My recommendation is to watch porn. It actually has nudity and penetration with prettier, smarter women.
... View MoreLove this show, enough to sign into IMDb and leave a review for the first time.Bering Sea Gold features real life gold miners with a difference - dredging the ocean floor for gold, from home made punts (small boats) and super dodgy equipment. Better than Gold Rush Alaska, Black Gold and Deadliest Catch. If you're into these kind of reality "man" shows, you will rate this highly.Only up to episode 2 and it's got great story telling, actually quite suspenseful in parts, real characters from all walks of life and operating all sorts of equipment. It's very similar to Gold Rush Alaska but has better content.Editing is good, not a lot of that American "fast forward/rewind" technique like in Gold Rush & Dr. Phil... Give it a crack and rate it. Easily a 8-9 for me.
