Perhaps someone co...I agree with all of the above.<br /><br />Perhaps someone could tell me, or explain to me, why do they bother to still look? I have watched on two occasions where ancestors (three woman) of the original three lads came on the show, and told how three or four treasure chests were carried out of the pit, and divvied up between the original hunters. Why was there never any follow up investigation, or questioning, on this claim or find, or any relics other then a simple gold cross? <br /><br />Maybe I just missed the episode (s), that offer the answers I seek. Seems to me if three chests were recovered, well.... other then the arch of the covenant, there cant be to much left?<br /><br />Also has there ever been an explanation of how with out modern equipment such and elaborate system tunnels, vaults, and boo bee traps hundreds of feet below the earth, and sea, in mostly cold weather conditions, were built? Sounds like another pyramid puzzle, an unbelievable undertaking, at a time in history what seems impossible, what with no evidence blue prints, crude drawings, or tools to be found. This must have taken years, and surly more then one person died during this elaborate excavation of land, and sea. No graves, no bodies?

How do you extend the series, and keep that 'secret' until the end of the season? Don't forget that those shows are 'filmed' months before they are broadcast. Does everyone sign NDAs? Or do they choose subjects with little likelihood of being discovered, explained, or debunked?<br /><br />Actor: Well, we found that amazing treasure. I'm so excited!<br /><br />Producer: We got a 3-year contract that we gotta milk out, so I expect everyone to observe their NDAs, and shut up 'til the final episode.<br /><br />I hate to be so cynical......:)<br />. .. . .. --- ....alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547680170328747214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-48334733984823888742016-01-27T11:23:31.183-08:002016-01-27T11:23:31.183-08:00Oh, there was undoubtedly something in that hole a...Oh, there was undoubtedly something in that hole at one time. I haven't wasted my time watching that show though. While it would be great if the Laginas found what it is/was, I figure that I would hear about it soon enough.

Last evening...I have to agree with Kevin on this. <br /><br />Last evening's show was a massive disappointment clearly designed to keep you coming back each week. It's so painfully obvious now.<br /><br />As said before, if there was a treasure found we would have heard about it by now. The show is clearly about the history of the island and the treasure hunting efforts and theories - not about actually finding a treasure.Brian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201018843054563257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-7358136668601400762016-01-26T09:18:23.844-08:002016-01-26T09:18:23.844-08:00@Terry,

As entertainment, not as a documentary:) You should pitch it soon, before someone steals your idea. Sadly, it's just the sort of thing those cable channels might buy into.<br />.<br />@Kevin,<br />Drew Cary said it best: [TV series salaries are] "crazy money".<br />(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_paid_American_television_stars), then extrapolate down to the mere millionaire presenters.<br /><br />"Contrived" is a word, that, had it not been defined, would have been coined specifically to describe those 'reality' shows. <br /><br />Any thoughts on the newly-resuscitated X-Files? <br /><br />Ah, science fiction, a welcome change from the pseudo-reality stuff we're bombarded with daily. I'll be watching Part 1 tonight.<br /><br />. .. . .. --- ....alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547680170328747214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-83398823093142413672016-01-25T23:16:40.706-08:002016-01-25T23:16:40.706-08:00Sounds like you are right, Kevin, that they have n...Sounds like you are right, Kevin, that they have no financial incentive to solve the mystery. Perhaps they know there's nothing down there, as you suggest, but I can think of a more cynical explanation: they never believed there was any treasure and so don't care to find out. Maybe all they ever wanted was a premise for a reality show pitch.<br /><br />I've joked elsewhere about the next wave of paranormal reality shows.

Rick gets excited over almost anything, I don't know whether its a genuine historical interest or just plain romanticism but I feel almost the same way unlike his brother Marty whose patience I imagine has worn thin, and I would take most people might feel the same. But I'd watch it every week, I just love seeing what they uncover.<br /><br />If of course things are planted, then obviously I wouldn't want to spend a second more watching, but who's to know. I like to think the passion of the brothers and co is real.
