Up to you if you want to be mugged off by discovery and pay for it
Would find big gold for the season finale. Discovery needs to let
White water super fans, give us a head up on when the 2023 Season 7 will start. Airing could it be in late summer or early fall?
Or will discovery even run season 7. Dustin said he pour all his money into this season. Does this mean no more Gold Rush
White water? If us a heads up! Hate to see Fred, Dustin and the gang disappear. Great Show don’t let die?
Discovery shelved it so it didn't have to pay taxes on it in this fiscal year.
April 2023 start new fiscal year and rest of season is supposed to be aired.
Bunch of bs if you ask me. The discovery mangers was not thrilled about discovery doing this. You can web search his blog on White Water season 6 going on Hiatus.
Something else I don't understand, last years gold count...everybody was happy with it? For the months they spent in the wilderness a regular paying job would have made them practically break even living at home.
Ore i will stop paying for it and wait for them. Thats just facts! When 8 comes i will pirate downloade it many days before i can see it here in Norway! Not ok! And dont lie since why can i get it for free before then. No ads! I pay for Discovery + but im starting to woonder why! I use over 600usd on streaming sites alone! But i cud get them all for free! And i dont wait if i dont have to.
I Hate when they leave you up in the air.
Do they WANT TO LOSE VIEWERS?
