Discovery Reveals Rick Ness Is Back On Gold Rush To Seek ‘Redemption’
At the end of August, Discovery made a surprise announcement. According to The Futon Critic, the network announced Gold Rush Season 14. In addition, to announcing that Parker Schnabel and Tony Beets are back, they surprised fans by announcing that Rick Ness is returning. What did they say about the prodigal gold miner’s return?
After dropping off the radar for nearly two years and giving up mining, Rick Ness is on a mission to turn his life around, make millions and achieve his version of the American Dream.
But with no crew and very little money, Rick faces an uphill battle on his road to redemption, along with questions about what happened during his lost year.
Rick’s goal is quite massive. He wants to overhaul his life, make millions, and do it on his terms. But first, he has to get a crew. Also, he will need a boatload of money. Lastly, Discovery hints that fans may get some answers about missing out on Season 13.
Where Was Rick Ness During Season 13?
Many fans of the Discovery series want to know where Rick Ness was during Gold Rush Season 13. What was shown in the series is that he suffered from SAD, seasonal affective disorder.
This is especially common in places where there is little sun in the winter, or in the Arctic, where the days are long in the summer, and mostly dark in the winter.
In addition, Ness has admitted that he never fully got over his mother Judy’s death back in March 2018. He went right from her death to gold mining. He never got the opportunity to mourn her.
Worst of all, his crew didn’t know what happened to him. He left them in a lurch, causing some bad feelings. Team Rally was looking for a paycheck. Instead, they had to scatter and find new work.
Gold Rush Star Had Rollercoaster Relationship With Leese Marie
As if SAD was not challenging enough, Rick Ness had a complicated personal life. The gold miner and reality star had a rollercoaster relationship with his former girlfriend-turned fiancée-turned ex, Lesse Marie.
Leese had been more than a girlfriend. She also worked in the gold room for Team Ness. However, that relationship is kaput.
Now, Rick is determined to go after his version of the American Dream. Most of all, he seems to want to be proud of himself once again. Will he achieve it?
Viewers will have to watch Gold Rush Season 14 to find out! The premiere is on Friday, September 29, at 8 p.m., Eastern, on the Discovery Channel.
