I've watched and wondered that too but then thought of this. It can't be fake because the network could turn everyone in. I think it's legit and a cat and mouse game. Also, it's not on true tv.

If it's not fake, how can that guy be on camera as an illegal bootlegger, yet be the fire chief? Everyone in his daily life now knows he's a criminal. I'm thinking they were guys caught in the game prior and are now re-enacting the whole thing.

If it is fake, that guy "tickle" deserves an acting award!

I think moonshiners is definitely fake. As far as Tickle goes, I think he is just a drunk who wasn't let in on the secret that it is fake. ;D

The more I think about it, it's gotta be fake. They give their names and faces. I bet that is the deal, they have all been convicted of making shine and have agreed to be on this show which is coordinated by the cops. I'll still watch which is odd for me, normally once I find a show is fake, I can't watch it.

That Moonshiners show, did you know Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton is dead? He's on that show but must be old tape. I got watching some videos on youtube of him and one said he had killed himself. First I saw Johnny Knoxville interview him and he said he was going to be sentenced in January of 08 or 09 and he was looking at 18-24 months in federal prison. Then Another video at the end said he killed himself after sentencing because his health was already failing and he didn't want to die in prison. Not being able to smoke was a fear of his too. Stories are told he lit a non filtered cigarette from the last one and did it all day long. I then did a google seasrch and everything shows he is dead. Even a picture of Hank Williams Jr at his service. Either Moonshiners was filmed a few years ago and just now made it to tv or they are using old clips of Popcorn.

He was only 62 years old. Said he started smoking and drinking at 6.

I don't like how the show portrays him as alive. Seems disrespectful.

I don't think it's just us losing interest in Gold Rush. I see the previews for tonight is going to be a behind the scenes episode. Kind of looks like they are noticing ratings going down to pull that in the middle of the season.

Ill probally finish up this season. Its been entertaining with all the highs/lows. Perhaps tonights episode is probally a filler since its a holiday week and will get low ratings anyway?

That could be why, but most episodes like this are at the end of seasons.

It's funny stuff for sure. It has to be fake as hell though but I still am enjoying it for some reason.
