Gold Rush: What Happened Between Rick Ness & Buzz Legault?

During the 15th season of Gold Rush, Buzz had a major conflict with Rick. The two argued about Buzz’s role and work ethic. According to Buzz, he wasn’t content about being assigned to a rock truck. However, Rick expected Buzz to work regardless of his position. Rick eventually gave Buzz an ultimatum: either he work or leave the team. Buzz felt demoted and became less motivated to work. The two were able to sort things out. But many fans think Buzz is now working with Parker.

Fans Think Buzz Is Already Back With Parker

Some Gold Rush fans on social media discussed the possibility that Buzz Legault is already working with Parker Schnabel. According to the poster, they think Buzz won’t be working for Rick next year, regardless of the water license outcome. However, some commenters think things have already changed behind the cameras, and Buzz may already be under Parker Schnabel. Others agreed and pointed out that some of his recent posts show he’s happily mining, and he could be with Parker’s team.

“Buzz has been quite active on Instagram promoting the show every week, and he’s definitely mining this year. I can’t say for certain he is still with Rick, but he hasn’t shown anything to imply he isn’t; which is different from Morgan who I recall posted on Instagram that she was working for someone else before the season even finished airing.”
“I think he’s done. Looks like he’s lost his passion for the job.”
“there was a post a while back saying he was on his way back to the yukon.”
“I think he will be back. It seemed pretty obvious to me that 90% of the drama with him this year was encouraged by the producers to make things more “interesting”. He is a good miner, but not a very good actor.”
“Do you guys think he can ever make it on Parker’s crew? Not saying Parker would have or need him. I think Buzz would also go bat s**t on a well run program that Parker has going on.”
“Him, Parker and Tony often perform Broadway musicals in the off-season.”
