This is Mark Burnett's new show for CBS (and the premiere date is seven years to the day Survivor first aired), it looks great. The first big article on it (as well as a short video) is on http://www.tvguide.com/

Weird. I don't get the pirate fascination as of late. But I'll probably watch. A few cool concepts in there - I like the class divide between the 'pirates' and the 'captain', etc. And the way the money is split seems pretty neat, too. Will be a good summer show.

The annual eco-challenge was absolutely must-not-miss-tv for hubby and I. My middle daughter was determined to run that race when older, it's the reason she started rock climbing a few years back. LOL I am still pouting that Burnett isn't producing it anymore. Mentioning that this show has ANY components that resemble the eco-challenge guarantees that I will give it a shot. I am hoping that the emphasis is on the challenge and not the reality but I know that's not realistic.

the thing is, it looks like this is going to be rougher than Survivor, but the winner is going to get less ($500,000 plus any booty picked up along the way)

and watching the video, it looks like this is how the elimination works... The captain marks three people for elimination (and literally marks them apparently with a black spot) The crew can vote for anyone up....or they can mutiny and vote the captain off (the captain gets an advantage apparently in that he can only be voted out on a unaminous vote, while the others only need a plurality)

I've watched that TV guide clip several times, and I swear that I see Rupert (Survivor Pearl) in the cast! Am I seeing things or has anyone else noticed him?????

Roppie - he looks like he could be Rupert's brother, but I fairly sure it's not Rupert. I am looking forward to this show! I hope I'm not disappointed.

Survivor exec producer Mark Burnett goes skull and crossbones in his newest show, Pirate Master starting May 31 on CBS. The series includes 16 contestants who search for buried treasure totaling $1 million while living on a 179 foot square-rigger for 33 days. Burnet says, "It's a huge- and hard- adventure with jumping off waterfalls, swimming up canyonlakes and crossing mudfilled jungles."

cbs.com now has the bios up...some of them are good...For example, one of them says if he wins, his first selfish purchase will be to put a billboard of himself up in the hometown of the runner-up...
