With many fans in the Reddit post decrying Season 13 as the worst or just becoming repetitive, it’s no surprise that some have found watching “Gold Rush” more of a chore than actually any fun anymore. “I haven’t seen the last six episodes. I’ve watched every episode of every season within the week of air date up to now,” u/egg663 posted. “Feels like a job to have to watch them.” Some fans noted that what makes the current season of “Gold Rush” particularly frustrating is that the series could easily breathe new life into itself by shifting its focus to underrepresented and unexplored aspects of mining. For instance, u/VOODOO285 commented that exploring land reclamation, crew safety, and more of the business side or mining operations are easy additions that could make for some more worthwhile content.
Those are solid ways to change up the “Gold Rush” format. However, Discovery may have stuck to its exact formula for the reality series because it hasn’t noticed a significant enough hit in its ratings. And that’s likely because, as some fans on the post admitted, no matter how bad the quality of Season 13, they still can’t fully manage to drop the series altogether. After all, it’s hard to leave a show you’ve already invested so much time in or is the only one that scratches a specific TV itch. “The only reason I ever come back is out of complete boredom, then I am back to watching it again until once again I get fed-up [Maybe I should consider it being Fred-Up],” u/ericquig posted.
