Pirate Master
 

So I watched it...it was a little interesting when they went on the expedition to find the buried treasure, but the participants are a little flat. John was a weirdo, so I was glad to see him gone...buh bye, now!

Louie reminded me of Rupert from SURVIVOR, but I guess if it's a pirate themed show, you need someone who looks pirate'esque.

Sadly, the ship that they are on, the "Picton Castle", was the scene of a tragedy in December 2006. "Laura Gainey, 25, ( daughter of Montreal Canadiens' GM Bob Gainey) was swept overboard by a wave off the deck of the Picton Castle, the tall ship on which she was working last December. A three-day search in the Atlantic Ocean, about 700 kilometres off the coast of Cape Cod, proved fruitless."

I watched it. It would have been so much better if they had walked the plank instead of being "cut adrift." But that would require them to do a daytime "pirate's court" and obviously that's not dramatic enough for the show's producers.

What was CBS thinking? This show is beyond awful.

Well, Mark Burnett does produce both of them so it figures that there would be a lot of similarities.

The show is simply awful!

It's pretty bad...and yet, I cannot turn away.... :p

Same here. It's like a car crash.

"Pirate" Contestant Found Dead of Apparent Suicide

Story here.

Sad -- of all the crazies on the show, she was pretty normal.

I agree...& that is a very sad news story.

Wow. That is so sad.

It looks like the show is continuing on via the Intarnetz...glad to see that Azmyth and his dumb phoney accent got punted...YAY!!

Yeah, it's bad when a reality show how such bad ratings, that they won't air the rest of it.

I remember when they killed off that "job interview from hell" show too (I think it was called "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss")...wikipedia says this:
"This episode reveals the real boss to be a monkey (Mowgli) who would decide the winning contestant by spinning a wheel with the contestants names written on portions of the wheel."

Shoot, they showed all the episodes of "Bachelorettes in Alaska", which was arguably worse that "Pirate Master".

According to the Intarnetz, Ben is the winner of Pirate Master.
