Bering Sea Gold--Why? (SPOILER if you didn't see last weeks episode)

I've seen several threads on one of my FAVORITE shows-Bering Sea Gold and wanted to ask my fellow prospectors, why do you think John Bunts killed himself? I'm going to watch tonight's episode and maybe they'll explain but I was SHOCKED when I learned it was him. I thought maybe it was Scott Meisterheim... Then again John did try and swim out to the dredge maybe had sort of a deathwish...

Let me know what you all think

My guess is that he was having a fling with Zeke and caught Zeke and Emily doing wild thing and blew his wad I mean brains out.

 

[BadgerGold]

Hahah, maybe

 

[Gold Maven]

yeah, doesn't make sense. He just had a good day dredging, was gonna get a nice payday, thanks to Zeke cutting Emily to 10%. Generous considering she's a noodle armed tender that fights with the boss continuously.

I figured it would be Steve Riedel, they were calling him a worm, he got fired, can't do anything right, late for work, the list is endless.

Badger: The young man had a head full of issues, and odds are high that no matter how long
we presume and prognosticate about "why" he took his own life, fact is the reasons are forever
lost with him.

 

[BadgerGold]

Hahaha you're exactly right about Emily, shes worthless and annoying.

alcohol and not raised right

alcohol and not raised right

Last post I see says it all.

My guess so much alcohol in him, he thought he couldn't die.

Guess what !

........I have done my share of alcohol consumption back in the day,but I was taught at a very young age that a gun is not a toy,and although I did some downright crazy,stupid things I likely shouldnt have lied through,never did I decide it was a great idea to even handle a gun while drunk.I normally dont feel anything for somebody that goes out like that but I liked that kid from the first time I seen him.....that doesnt happen too often with me

From what i've seen of the show, it's a wonder EVERYBODY up there hasn't TRIED suicide at least once. Never seen such a bunch of miserable, dysfunctional and insane characters anywhere in my entire life. I used to dream about heading up to Alaska one day and doing some gold prospecting.. But Bering Sea Gold cured me of that idea. Six months with no wages and at the end of the season, a mere $16 grand paycheck and i gotta put up with those LUNATICS ? Noooo Waaaay.

 

[Gold Maven]

I wonder how much the show pays them.

I wonder how much the show pays them.

I don't know, but they couldn't pay me enough to get on a boat with any of the main characters.

GG~

True that, I was amazed at how little Cody on the Christine Rose way paid for how much hard grueling work they have to do... And to have to put up with that weather AND the people on top of that?!? Noo waay

 

[jeff of pa]

LOL On Scott coming back to sell a motor he claimed didn't belong to him.
and he did it On TV

I take it there are no laws against Buying or selling stolen property in Alaska

He had a drinking problem. Everyone of those Alaskans have something strange about them, the water must do something to you. John was alittle wreckless young kid but I'm sure it goes a little deeper than we all know. I feel bad for him, had a long life ahead of him. Hate to see the young die young. Scott, not one of the brightest guys or nicest either. He gets what he deserves!!

Yes That what I'm talkin' bout!
Much better craft than the "sluicy" that Ian used during the first season.
