I've been a big fan of all the Gold shows on Discovery. I know they are scripted to a degree, or at the very least heavily edited. You are still able to believe they are really mining for gold on the other shows. This show feels completely staged! When you are trying to convince your audience that it's 18 degrees out. Don't just have on a long sleeve shirt with a puffy vest, with NO ICE anywhere to be seen and... your breath isn't even steaming! You can start to see your breath when temps hit the low 40's for crying out loud.
If you want to do another gold show. Do another gold show, just make sure you are filming people who actually mining for gold next time.
