I've just finished watching Episode 13. There will be an Episode 14 next week crowning the Pirate Master. Here is Section 1 of Episode 13. ********************************** 1 - Review: Christa, Jay and Ben's alliance starts to falter. Black team of Christa, Jay and Ben won the expedition. Christa had doubts ... Jay went against Ben, Ben went against Jay ... and Laurel threw a curve ball telling Christa about Ben's remarks. Nobody was safe. At Pirate Court, Louie revealed his loyalty to Laurel. Laurel was cut adrift. That left three men right where the Captain wanted them. 2 - Final 4 are left. Louie is sad that Laurel is gone. She had his back. Louie figures he is gone. Ben feels saved. 3 - Christa says there has been two much lying. It is all cleared now. Jay says "The truth will set you free!" Christa says she has the 3 guys by the B*lls --- saved Ben, Didn't blackspot Jay, and Louie has never mutineed against her. 4 - Intro with background pics of cast to the Pirate Master theme music.

Section 2: 1 - F4 Breakfast. Jay trusts Christa the most. Will not let her go. Jay would throw the expedition against Louie to make him lose. So, it is obvious that it is 3 to 1 this episode. 2 - Quarterdeck - F4 with Longshot Louie (his words). Ben was given the key by the Captain to open the chest "since he did all his sweating yesterday," Christa said. It's a double drawer. 3 - Treasure was hidden by the ship's carpenter who had built all the gallows for the hangings. Black Team - Christa and Jay Red Team - Ben and Louie 4 - Ben says he is sick to his stomach that he has to sabotage Louie. 5 - Must row to shore then head by the map to Deadman's Pool where they will find some hidden tools. Ben is purposefully rowing slow so Louie makes him change places cause he is a fast rower. Louie is powerful at rowing and catches the black team right as they get to shore. 6 - Black team gets to the pool first, Jay dives into the water and gets the tools. Clue says follow the stream to a raft that has to be put together. 7 - When red team gets to the pool, Ben deliberately takes the goggles and dives and sees the tools right off the bat, but muddies up the water around them and throws Louie off the track. Finally he gives Louie the goggles and Louie can't find the tools. After about 10 minutes, Ben says he dove and got the tools and acted like he had just found them. 8 - Meanwhile, Christa and Jay have found the raft and Christa surprises Jay by being so good at putting the raft together. But, Christa is a slow/weak rower. They must row the raft to Miracle Lake. 9 - Jay is heckling Christa about her rowing and they laugh and fuss all at the same time the whole way. She says, "Jay is annoying." 10 - On the way to the lake they pass a section with gallows where they get puzzle pieces for a clue that tells they what to do at the lake, plus they get a key. 11 - The Lake is huge and it is hard to find the other gallows there where the treasure is buried between two officers. Because it takes them so long at the Lake and because Christa is such a slow rower, Ben and Louie almost catch up to them...but Jay finds the treasure chest just as Ben and Louie are almost up to them. Christa is such a slow rower, that she even had jumped off the raft and swam to the gallows area. 12 - Ben confessional: He feels bad and knows that they should have won the expedition.

Section 3: 1 - Christa feels bad for Louie knowing Ben had to sabotage him, but at least she didn't have to do it. 2 - Treasure is $40K - Christa has to Blackspot 2 and the other one will have all the power to pick who goes....with the option to even mutiny the Captain. 3 - Ben says, "Louie is the most genuine and I let him down." Ben is ashamed and says he will try to make it up. Actually all 3 of them are ashamed of what they did to Louie so they decide to pay off the guilt. The treasure is split 1/3 to Christa, 1/3 to Jay, 1/3 to Ben after giving $5K to Louie. 4 - Poor Louie ... he is so humbled at being given money, he gives them hugs and says it means a lot to him and that "you guys are too generous." Of course, Louie thinks that Ben only got $5K. 5 - Everyone loves Louie. Nobody wants to cut him adrift. Jay makes a big play to Christa for the sole spot ... calling in on their trust, their friendship, and their kids. Louie and Ben obviously don't have kids. 6 - Louie talks to Christa. She says that Jay is going to be the voter and that he is her best friend. Louie knows there is a 3-way bond and says that Jay has lied because he has told Christa he has her back, and he has told Ben the same thing, and he has told Louie the same thing. Louie says, "He can't have everybody's back. Don't trust Jay!!!"

Section 4: 1 - Segment opens up with a focus on Louie enjoying the morning sunset and the Caribbean. 2 - Christa is doing the black spots. Jay walks in. He says, "I have a pact with Ben and I have a pact with Louie, so I should get to be the one to pick." Jay is no fool and knows that Christa knows that he has also considered mutiny. You can't help but think about it. 3 - Blackspot ceremony...Christa says she loves all 3 guys. She is Sorry!!! Ben and Louie get the spots. Ben says Jay has never had a black spot the whole time and Ben says that Jay is the least one to be trusted. 4 - Pirate's Court - "Christa, why did you pick Jay to be the sole voter?" Answer: because she promised and based on trust. "Christa, why did you give Louie a blackspot?" Answer: She only gives him kind words and says he doesn't deserve to go. "Christa, why did you give Ben a blackspot?" Answer: Pretty much the same answer. 5 - Louie - Defend yourself - He says he has worked the hardest of anybody on the ship. He deserves to stay. He says to Jay, "Don't go down as the dog that crushed Lou-Dog's dream!" Ben - Defend yourself - "Louie is a better man than I am, a better worker and a better player, but it's a pirate ship and good men don't win!" He then wants to clear his conscious and tells Louie that he threw the expedition. He is sorry and this was the lowest point of his life. Louie is asked how he feels about that confession and he says, "I feel played and it hurts!" Ben says, "It was hard for me." 6 - Christa is asked to make her own case against getting mutineed! She tells Jay that they have had an unspoken bond from the first and she throws in the "family" part. 7 - Jay says, "Let's get this over with. I love and respect each of you, but this is business!" He then casts his one vote to cut Louie adrift. 8 - This was the saddest parting of the whole show. Sad music playing in the background made it even harder to watch (Yep, I was crying!!!). Sorry hugs from Ben. Jay says he loves him. Christa is crying and hugs Louie and Louie says, "Hey, don't make me cry now!" 9 - Louie confessional on raft - "It hurt to find out about the sabotage, but I gave it my all and can look in the mirror at myself. Ben will have to live with knowing what he did."

Next Week: Part of the F3 expedition was shown and it shows a rope bridge being cut as a sabotage. It also shows all the previous players climbing overboard to be on ship for a pirate's court. It ends by saying, Who will be crowned Pirate Master!!!

I went back and watched the show again this evening, and dag-gum-it, I can't believe they had me crying again when Louie got cut. That was such sad music and sad farewell scene. I saw a lot more this time because I wasn't frantically writing stuff down, but nothing that really changes the show the way I wrote it up....except the preview for next week. This time I could clearly see that it was Ben and Jay together on one side of the gulley and they cut loose the rope bridge just as Christa was approaching it from the other side. I figure this doesn't tell us who won between Ben and Jay, and who they chose to take to the Court with them between one of them and Christa or not Christa. So....I'll be posting again next week.

Thanks Alaginger! I still feel so annoyed that I won't go watch it at CBS website, partaking further of their ads and pop-ins. But you give such a FANTASTIC description, I feel almost like I was seeing it for myself. Dang, these skunk acting peeples sabotaged poor Louie, after all he's done. (I would have cried too!) He was the hardest worker on the whole crew and they all know it! I think Louie's right, though, Ben will always know what he did and everyone else will know about Ben's bad sportsmanship. Thx again Ginger!

Alaginger, I am so glad to know I wasn't the only crying over Louie. That whole show just broke my heart. I don't think I have ever cried over a reality show contestant before and didn't expect to with Pirate Master. I just wanted to reach through the computer and shake the stuffing out of Ben, while yelling give Louie half your money.

Yes...it was something when Ben said in his confessional that he wanted to do something to make it up to Louie. Well.....let me think! Louie gets $5K ($4K from the loot and $1K from Jay) and the rest of them get $12K. That means that Louie had $5K, Jay had $11K, Christa and Ben each had $12K. I'm still trying to figure out what it is that Ben thought he was going to do to make it up to Louie. If he thinks telling him about the sabotage during the Pirate Court counts, he is sadly mistaken because Louie would have found out about it anyway when the show aired. I have liked Ben from the beginning of the show, and I sure hope he wins over Jay....but this last show took him down a little peg in my favoritism.

I have like Ben all along too. I hope he takes a life lesson from how he feels about what he did, so that it can affect how he acts in future!

CBS Misdirection: Next time on Pirate Master While one Pirate is left in the dust, two Pirates run neck-and-neck in a crucial Expedition. Past actions haunt the Pirates as the Ghosts return to the ship to enact their revenge. One Pirate discovers the greatest treasure yet and is crowned the Pirate Master! ******************************** I think it is Christa they are talking about being left in the dust, because the part of the previews I saw with Ben and Jay chopping the rope bridge, her path appears to be blocked to the treasure. Of course, it didn't show if there was another way around that gulley.....but frankly, I think the last part of the challenge is between Jay and Ben, and one of them finds the treasure. Just my speculation: If Jay finds the treasure, I think he would take Christa to the Court with him because he can say he was pulling the strings all along. If Ben finds the treasure, I can't make up my mind which one he would take to the Court. So many don't like Jay, but they might find him the better pirate. So, I'm thinking Ben would go up against Christa also....but I'm just not too confidant about it. The previews for Survivor: China at CBS.com looks awesome. It starts 9/20.
