The Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch Season 5 just aired its third episode, and many fans are already scratching their heads. Chad Ollinger took major steps in the previous episode, diving into a tight underwater cave. The team then saw a mysterious bear marker as well as another cave that could lead them to a huge treasure room. But some fans are skeptical about some parts of the episode, making them think that everything was for show only. Keep reading to see why.
Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch: What Are Duane and Chad Ollinger Trying To Find?
The show is led by the father-son duo, Duane and Chad Ollinger. The Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch is trying to find the long-lost Aztec treasure. It is believed to be buried within the land they’re currently sitting on. They have already uncovered multiple caverns, which seem to be part of a huge system. But at the same time, they’re also facing challenges, including the “curse” to those who are trying to uncover the treasure. This may explain the unusual encounters of the team, including a fast-moving unknown creature in the middle of the night. But some fans think the show is starting to get more obvious that they’re just fooling viewers.
Fans Convinced The Show Fooled Them
Some Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch on social media discussed the latest episode of Season 5. According to the OP, they were puzzled about the quick glimpse of the cylinder that was pulled out. It was obvious to them that it was drilled using a modern machine. They also called out the film crew for leaving obvious evidence that the storyline was fake. This also convinced the OP that the show is now purple for “entertainment” only.
- “Dude. I had to look on Reddit. I’m at the part where they discover the intruder pulling out the metal container. They are so fake lol! Blesss their little gimmicky hearts. Dwayne was about the best actor they have. Everyone else is just selling their little souls. I’m still entertained AF.”
- “That hole looks like it was drilled with an auger. When it was back filled it looks like it backfilled with lose material on top of the cylinder There was a flat shovel next to the hole. It’s very difficult to dig in ground with a flat shovel that is hard packed. You’d really need a spade.”
- “I so agree. It is television folks. It is for entertainment. No different than the old show The Honeymooners, McHales Navy, The Twilight Zone or Lost in Space. Now a word from our sponsors…”
Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch: Fans Call Out Duane and Chad Ollinger For Awkward Mistakes
Another social media thread also discussed the weird decision-making of Duane and Chad Ollinger. According to the poster, the Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch obviously had all the budget to hire security or a thermal detector to protect everyone and all their properties at night. There have been many instances where they were invaded by mysterious people or creatures, but they still haven’t invested in anything to secure themselves. The OP even believes that catching someone may help them redeem themselves after all the doubts from fans.
The fourth episode of Season 5 will air on July 2, 2025, on Discovery Channel. If you are looking for more reality TV news, come back to TV Shows Ace for all your updates.
