![]() ![]() Todd Hoffman: Everything’s okay with my family. Monsters & Critics: On March 15, you asked fans that follow you on Twitter for prayers. Hoffman wants you to bet on him, his new perspective, and have faith in his intentions for the latest Gold Rush spin-offs. The bigger question is whether grit, God, and gumption form the trinity of tenacity for Hoffman to make it, or will he implode and the series be a one-season fluke? With Alaska’s mercurial nature-unforgiving weather, unseasoned crews, “torn up” equipment- this new mine is a sure bet that the Hoffmans wager on, and if they get the mining rights for the next decade, it could build a new family legacy. The stories also omitted that the show's crew allowed the cast to choose the "footsteps" for how various aspects of the episodes played out.Todd is banking his future mining career on turning around a flagging mine far off the grid 80 miles north of Nome, Alaska. Dorsey said that it ended with his ribs being broken. Both stories omitted the portion where he mentioned he was physically assaulted on the set. Instead, he did the opposite by answering several questions that appeared to shed light on just how real the mining process purportedly is on "Gold Rush."įurther, the two aforementioned articles that had sensationalized headlines appeared to cherry-pick from Dorsey's answer. Dorsey said nothing about the mining aspect of the show being fake. Perhaps most important to the show's draw was the question of whether the discoveries made while mining for gold were real. While Dorsey did claim that his departure from the show was planned and that various aspects of the episodes were scripted, nowhere in his answer did he say that Discovery's "Gold Rush" series is fake. My plan was staying the entire summer and seeing it out. They would tell me to say, "We’ve got to get gold in seventy hours," so I say, "We've got to get gold in seventy-two hours." Then they would say, "What are you going to do if you don’t get gold in seventy-two hours?" And I am like, "I don't know you just told me to say seventy hours." Then they said, "What are you going to do if you don't get gold?" They push you towards saying I was going to leave if we did not find gold. They kind of push you towards, making these things happen. That was very real, but it was also in the script for episode four which ended up being episode six, that I would end up leaving the show. ![]() That is why I actually got my ribs broke. They actually direct you into these situations. The plans were made, but the footsteps were ours. Even me leaving was scripted, but in the way in which it happened was not. They knew exactly what they wanted to see out of the program. ![]() The original interview cited by these stories was published in March 2011 by. For example, one headline read, "'Gold Rush' Is Fake, According To Former Cast Member." Another article said that the show's "fakery" was "exposed." In 2016, at least two online articles cherry-picked parts of an answer from an old interview with Dorsey. (It's unclear if this episode count on IMDb was accurate.) While the ad and its resulting article were both misleading, we did locate a potentially relevant interview with one person who was once a part of the "Gold Rush" cast.Īccording to IMDb, former "Gold Rush" cast member Jimmy Dorsey only appeared in six episodes near the beginning of the show's run, back in 20. However, nowhere in the lengthy article did it mention Schnabel or "Gold Rush." It was nothing but misleading clickbait. This ad led to a long article that never even mentioned Schnabel or "Gold Rush."Īfter clicking the ad, we were led to a lengthy slideshow article with the headline: "40 Popular Reality Shows That Are Far From Real." ![]()
