Has Todd ever done an honest days work since the series has been on? His father is more of a man than he is. I thought the whole gold mining thing was to make money to survive...not turning it into a competition with another miner (Todd and Parker). The only one I liked on that whole series was Tony Beets. That might be because he was born in Holland like my father was, and appears to have worked hard for many years to get where he is. I'll stick with Swamp people which starts a new season February 1st. Great show...great people!!
Their was a show on for one year, and it is sad they canned it. It was “Fixing Alaska”, about a crew of heavy equipment guys ( one main star ) that fly all over via Bush / Sea Plane and had to bush fix heavy equipment w/ missing tools and improvise hoist to pull a bulldozer in half. I freakin’ loved that show, the ingenuity and get-er-done spirit was amazing. Fixing stuff (when they are not ham and egging it) and yes the pile of Gold is what I like about Gold Rush, these silly grudges competitions are not needed.

Originally I liked Todd. Got to really dislike him and wish him misfortune. Sadly he will drag Dave (gone), Jim Thurber, Freddie Dodge with him.
He could have stayed in the Klondike , Alaska and made a bunch of money but being greedy he has frittered away money, time, etc. looking for ‘El Dorado’. And father Jack is a joke.
Parker Schnabel is turning into a little tyrant.
Tony Beets is pretty cool.
Liked the Dakota boys.
I love Tony he is the best. Todd is a lazy whipped by his wife and Parker is a millennial asshole.

--agree that the only one I'd work for would be Tony Beets--
