Really it would suck if they didn't show us all the episodes, or all the material condensed.

The show could have been better, but I'll be awfully disappointed if it is cancelled.

Remember that NBC cancelled the last episode of one season's LAST COMIC STANDING .. they ended up announcing the winner on someplace like BRAVO

Spy! I am so glad to see people coming out to say that they like the show after your posting!! I have always said that I think it could be better, but I think the premise is good, and I LOVE the team switch-ups! That beaks down the predictabiity factor -

They better not cancel mid-season. I have a pool going and that will make things very confusing if it gets canceled before the end.

Wow, Sallycat. Sounds like they might cancel it. According to the rest of the country, we're not being negative, Spygirl..we're normal, lol.

I want Jay to go. He is the behind-the-scenes manipulator and it looks like the others are just getting a clue next week. It might be too late already.

I liked that Joe Don helped save that one girl tonight, but how did they know she bid the highest and not nom her? That defeats the surprise factor. I thought it was quite big of Louie (not) to forgive Joe Don, since Louie knew he'd be getting a black mark and needed all the help he could get in staying.

Jay reminds me of Lex from Survivor 3. He has too much power and influence, and he behaves as though it's all about helping him win. I'll be glad if the rest start wising up in the next episode but previews can be misleading.

I agree that one of the best things about this show is the constant shuffling of teams, and another is that they can give their winnings to each other if they choose.

It was good that Louie and Joe Don made peace, although that scene did sound a bit scripted to me. I hadn't understood previous posts complaining of things sounding scripted, but now I do. It's likely that they're not scripted, but are just being too camera-conscious and it's coming across as bad acting. Remember how many times the BB contestants would try to manufacture "good TV" without even the prompting of the producers?

The other good thing about this show is that no matter who gets eliminated, I don't mind.

?? not scripted??

Not sure how else some of that dialogue and acting can be explained.

Capt to Laurel "you are up there because we dont know which side you are on"

Laurel immediately says stuff about she doesnt know what he is talking about, no one in the crew has sides. Then the capt doesn some weird ambling comments as per sides of the ship and working??

No one else thought tonight's episode was so orchestrated? Like Louis and JD knucklebump bonding?

Guess I'm just too pessimistic.

I keep wanting to like this show and keep hoping that there will be a "real" competition instead of such easy boring races and then both teams scrambling around in the same area digging.

Geesh, develop something new!

Good points: No set teams (aka tribes). The possibility of mutiny (aka captaincy guarantees no immunity).
Low points: Every reality show has a Jay who manipulates from a secondary position and a Nessa who openly flirts to stay.
I won't be jumping ship to watch BB (a show I've avoided 4 seasons) or another Survivor (the All Stars was my last stint with castaways)and while Pirate Master isn't in same class as The Mole it is enjoyable.
If they could just get that hat off Azmyth's head to make his affected accent go away!!! The only things that could make me stop viewing is if the pirates start sharing bunks or taking romantic strolls on a beach.

LOL, well it looked like there might be some semi-bunk sharing .. coming up.

Laurel sure made Azmyyth look a wee bit foolish... and apparently no one else bought his reasons.

Glad Louie wasn't sent home.

I'd like to see Jay go, too. and not caring for the testosterone based leadership set up for now. Would hope for a mutiny but that doesn't seem possible.

This show reminds me a knock off designer bag...they look good at first glance but fall apart the first time you wear it. But still I tune in.

I'm still watching, too, although, for 2 wks in a row, I fell asleep while watching and had to watch my tape of it later. I do like that there are different teams, but I wish the search for treasure was a bit more challenging (anyone notice they had rope (I think) along the side of the hill they were climbing to get to the treasure?) and I also like that I don't care who gets voted off either. If they live it after BB, I'll probably continue to watch.

I had to laugh at Nessa. Early in the show, she's doing some perfect teenager impressions with her eye rolling and one of the best tweener "WHAT-ever" annunciations I've ever heard. Then just seconds later she's blasting into Sean (or whoever it was she was talking to) with "what are we, in Junior High, that's pathetic!"

Look in the mirror Nessa!

sean had the perfect opportunity to Out Jay as the true twofaced Orchestrator. Instead his 'Defend position' speech was bland and made him look like more of a threat LOL

From the preview for next week it looks like the crew is starting to figure out Jay/ azmyth's plan.

Should get interesting now IMHO.

Azmyth's nonsensical ramblings and backpedaling is a good reason to believe these people aren't scripted. They're just trying too hard to manufacture drama, like if you put a group of children in costumes and let them play pirates for a while. They'll start talking unnaturally and being all melodramatic without any prompting from the adults.

That was a very funny moment, as Azmyth first admitted he was penalizing Laurel for not taking sides, and then got called on it when she asked what the sides were, and then backpedaled and came up with some other reason for giving her the spot, and then went back to talking about sides, and then took it back when she asked him to. It didn't take much effort on Laurel's part to make him look foolish. Why do they keep making this guy the captain? For that matter, why do they always elect a man for that position? Are they afraid nobody else will be willing to share the winnings equally?

I did notice the rope during that challenge, probably for safety but also a huge tip-off that they're on the right track.

It would be nice if they brought that mutiny factor to BB's HOH. It might encourage me to watch that show again, but then again I doubt it.

I have a question....Lets say that Jupiter voted for mutiney and Sean won the pardon.....Laurel and Louie would have zero votes. Who would be kicked out?

Big in Japan, if all would have voted for Sean and he had the pardon, then it would be a tie between Laurel and Louie, each with zero votes. When it's a tie, the captain decides.

Hi Curlyq ~ If BB had an HoH mutiny factor just think of the possibilties. On the PM notice that nobody wants to mutiny. They talk, plan, zilch. Azmyth is a strength player, not a speaker. He indeed spotted Laurel but then nothing to defend it, and she killed him with 3 questions... She said: what? what? what?... basically, she is on her own and good at it...

I think I would have voted Laurel off. She said nothing about why she should be allowed to stay. She called Azmyth on the sides thing.That was it.

I thought the push for Laurel to have a black spot came from Jay. He's the one who claimed she hasn't picked any sides - cause he can't get a make on her to commit for or against anyone. My take on it is that Azmyth didn't understand why Jay wanted her to be gone, he just agreed to assign the spot.

I've never stopped watching a reality show unless the network yanked it from the lineup but I'm done with this show. Its terrible, the challanges are boring, eww just cant take this one
