My sister, who lives on Mosquito Lake in Haines Alaska, called me last night and told me to watch last night's episode ('Gold Town') as it was filmed around Haines and I could see a little of where she lives. I watched. I thought it was cool to see folks who bought a cabin right near my sister. It showed them "settling into their new home" and the husband saying they would be there for years, etc. When I spoke to my sister today she said the cabin has YET to be sold, and that couple did NOT buy it - and it was all completely staged. How dare Discovery! This is supposedly a REALITY show. Where is the REAL? This, to me, lacks integrity and illustrates the sickness in the world of television today. If it were clear to us viewers that it is staged, fake, etc then I would not be judging them, but they set out from the get-go to deceive and manipulate us viewers. Shame on them.
