hope they dont need the compass during the next challenge like they needed it in this one I agree they should have explained the show a little better in the beginning, hopefully it will get better as it goes on

'Boring, at first, but with the interesting demise of Cocky John, I'm hooked. I did think it funny, when the anchor chain dropped a total of 6 feet, before stopping Hey, if I'm looking forward to Big Brother, then Pirate Master must be about my intellectual speed;)

It was okay. I thought that with the whispering and hand talking in the beginning that they were trying to convey that John is gay. I had no idea he was supposed to be flirting, heterosexually yet, with that stuff. And I would have preferred in the end if JD had said as John was leaving, "We'll take those compasses, thank you." And THEN cast him adrift. But yeah, Burnett is getting more and more into scripting these shows, and they just are not as much fun that way, except maybe for him.

The show seemed very disjointed to me. Almost like they were making it up as they went along. I was soooo glad they got rid of John but couldn't believe they let him sail away with both compasses. I would have tackled him to the ground to get one of them. I wasn't very impressed with the show but I'll give it a shot.

Real pirates wouldn't have let one person leave with their compasses. They would have ganged up on him and taken them from him, while inflicting a little pain, then cut him adrift.

yikes, no tiem to read all the posts. First impression....Big Brother At sea. same general concepts except that the HOH can be voted out en masse. Frankly, I'd love to see that added to the BB game LOL Anyways, <100> is gone. And frankly, the only goodlooking guy in my opinion. He was very smart taking something to barter with however, why the heck did he tell everyone? It was like he was making himself a huge threat. I think it would have worked if he had told everyone that this was their chance to get rid of the captain and he would tell them how AT the vote. Then he says he has the Compasses and they will all draw straws for possession AFTER the captian has been deposed. That way it makes the crew part of the solution instead of 'Nyah Nyah I got the compasses and you Have to do what I tell you to'. No doubt the producers will promptly give the people another compass...but I'd love it to be like Survivor where they have to do without if the lose something. Most irritating moment of the night? A tie between <100> mumbling and fondling the women AND the "rupert wannabee".

John should have pointed out that waiting 20 minutes during the day could make or break a team when they were trying to navigate for treasure. I guess it was too soon to mutiny but that would have been my choice.

I thought it was ok.I was A little surprised that they didn't all vote JD out because of his swelled head when he became captain.And for the fact that he already had all that money,but what do I know.I completely agree BB at sea!

John reminds me of Kronk from Emperors New Groove. All braun, but no brains. I was laughing at his lame pick-up lines to the girls. J.D. is interesting.

I liked it. Is J.D. the captain the entire time or is there a new captain every week?

Strange editing, I think. I would have started all kinds of poop about Ben wasting so much time looking for his sneaker that was sucked off in the mud. I also would have been talking about Joy not helping out because she spent so much time puking over the sides. If John got those locks open, and he was the one to get the booty (just before the other team got to the area, or so it was edited), why wasn't he given more respect? I know he was wierd, but he clearly was strong in this first episode. What did JD do that made everyone vote for him to be captain? Maybe I blinked and missed his "leadership" demonstration. I'm giving it another week. Not sure if the way it is being shown now is enough to get me all excited for the new episode.

funny, the comparisons to BB! last night when the captain said something like "being the captain carries a responsibility" I immediately thought of "being HOH carries a responsibility". LOL

I watched and will watch again next week. I think it will find it's groove. My distraction is with JD being called by his name Joe Don. All I can hear in my head is Dixie Carter on Designing Woman dressing down poor old Joe Don, when he approached the ladies in a bar. Joe Don who then returns in a later episode as an IRS agent doing her audit.

Seems a bit scripted. With no clear explanation of the rules it makes it hard to watch. It would have be better to say as pirates there are no rules except... Blah, Blah and Blah. The compass thing was interesting but come on. Get your men to hold him down and retrieve the compass before u cut him adrift. It would have been a little more excitement for the show. For me, I'll watch it with my mom. We enjoyed making fun of all the bad things. But I wouldn't be upset if we missed a show. This just give us something to practice making fun of until Big Brother starts! LOL

I'd have liked this episode a heckuva lot more if they'd mutinied right off the bat. (JD just irritates the heck outta me anyways!) But doing a mutiny so fast would've really sent a message to the next captain! And I LOL when JD couldn't tell which direction was north, after he went all blathery about the north star. I dunno if I'd condone holding someone down and physically retrieving the compasses. I'm sure this show, as most other reality shows, have very specific rules about physical "engagements". I hope the challenges become more, well, challenging! Even the sabotage did little to halt he progress of the red crew.

My is!!I cannot understand or hear what the host is saying at any given time, I had to rewind 3 times to understand him. I thought John was smart and very observant with everything in such a short time. I wanted John to stay longer. Pity one female wanted Jon to be captain and the rest followed. it seemed to me Jon is acting, and doing a very bad job at that! It is lacking something and I cannot find it yet. Now that there is no more 'black team' are they still treasure hunting?

A middle-aged swinger approaches the ladies in a sushi bar: MAN: Allow me to introduce myself -- Ray Don Simpson. JULIA: There's no need for introductions, Ray Don, we know who you are. RAY DON: (smiling) You do? JULIA: Of course. You're the guy who is always wherever women gather or try to be alone. You want to eat with us when we're dining in hotels, you want to know if the book we're reading is any good, or if you can keep up company on the plane. And I want to thank you, Ray Don, on behalf of all the women in the world, for your unfailing attention and concern. But read my lips and remember, as hard as it is to believe, sometimes we like talking just to each other, and sometimes we like just being alone.
