I wonder Jan, if CTV will just show it in Canada. Canadians are huge reality TV fans and the ratings may have been much better in Canada. Also, I think CTV may have it on their website?

I'm unable to watch Part 4 of the episode. Can anyone summarize what happened after the Black Spots were handed out?

Oh, and here's a summary of the first three parts. I'm thinking this is now the right place to post this. (Mods, please fix if it's not.) ---- They have an overnight party on land to celebrate reaching the final 8. New rule -- Azmyth stays captain, Jay and Ben lose their officer status. Next morning they draw for teams for the next competition. Red - Jay, Ben, Christa, Kendra Black - Azmyth, Louie, Nessa, Laurel Red crew wins. Prize is $50K. Jay nominates Christa as captain and others agree. New rules: - no officers - captain selects two for Black Spot - captain takes entire loot - Royal Pardon expires after next Pirate Court Jay advises Christa not to give Kendra a 1/4 share but to deceive her by saying she will receive her share through the bid for the Royal Pardon she holds. They won't really bid, Kendra gets a Black Spot, and she will get sent home with less money. Ben agrees. Christa goes ahead and gives Kendra only $2K and tells her she will receive the remainder through the bidding. Christa asks each pirate separately for Black Spot suggestions. Jay, Nessa, Ben, and Louie all suggest Kendra and Azmyth. Azmyth suggests Kendra and Laurel. Kendra suggests Azmyth. (Christa already told her the plan included giving her the Black Spot. Don't ask me how this plan is supposed to make sense to Kendra.) Christa gives Black Spot to Kendra and Azmyth.

Thanks, Spear. I doubt that I will be able to watch it at the CBS site, so any and all spoiling is most welcome!

Remainder of the spoiling of the show from CBS website. Christa states her reasons for selecting Kendra and Az for the black spots ... "those were the two names she got the most from pooling the crew." She points out they are the strongest and the weakest players. Az and Kendra speak for themselves. Az states that he is strong and plans to stay strong and smart which would be a benefit for his team. Kendra has been up so many times, she decides this time to read a self-written poem. Cameron asks the crew member Jay if he thinks Kendra should be up there ... Yes, weakest link and poor swimmer. Cameron asks both Laurel and Ben if Az deserves to be up there. Laurel says Az really confuses her, and Ben says Az is a very strong player. Two bids for "FINAL" royal pardon. Christa wins the pardon with $10,000 bid. Kendra wins the right to stay onboard. Az is "set adrift" with a unaminous vote of 5 out of 5 votes. Christa cuts him loose. Az confessional on the raft says he was surprised that it was unanimous as he thought he had done a lot for Jay and Ben and would have received their support. Previews for next episode has Jay saying that Christa is smart and is a good Captain but she has cut some throats lately, and that he would like to keep her around. Ben and Jay sit together and scheme and Jay says, "if I find the treasure, I'll try to point it out to you" and Ben says "It sounds like a good plan"!!!

Thanks, Alaginger. It's nice that Christa decided not to follow Jay's plan to screw Kendra.

It's also funny to see that Jay also voted for Azmyth to be "cut adrift". Nobody voted for Kendra to leave. I think something happened there that we weren't privy to.

Thanks for the spoiler. For some reason, part 4 of the episode wouldn't load for me, so I couldn't see who got cut adrift.

Hope you'll continue to spoil each week until the end. I finally got high speed internet, but still can't really watch this because it only plays a few seconds and then "buffering." Very frustrating.

Ah, thanks for mentioning it Slinkydog. I'll be sure to watch the video each week and put what I see in here for those that want it, or maybe somebody else will do some of it....like today. I'm wondering if CBS is going to sell a DVD with the episodes on it that those that prefer watching, rather than reading, might consider buying..........???

CBS pulls 'Pirate Master' from the airwaves, moves episodes online By Christopher Rocchio, 07/24/2007 Pirate Master has been cut adrift by CBS. The network has announced that, effective immediately, it has decided to pull the Mark Burnett-created reality competition show from its summer primetime programming schedule. Instead of continuing to air in the Tuesdays at 10PM ET/PT time period that the show had relocated to earlier this month, Pirate Master's five remaining episodes -- beginning with the broadcast originally tonight at 10PM ET/PT -- will now made available for streaming on CBS.com every Tuesday morning beginning at 3AM ET. "I tried," Burnett had told reporters attending the Television Critics Association summer press tour about Pirate Master last week, according Television Week. "I don't understand why it's not working. All I can do is deliver high-quality shows." More Pirate Master News More TV Schedule News First announced last November, Pirate Master premiered on CBS on Thursday, May 31 at 8PM ET/PT -- the seventh anniversary of the date that Survivor, Burnett's original CBS reality series, made its debut. However despite a heavy promotion push and the advantage of airing in Survivor's regular time period, the premiere episode delivered unimpressive ratings and averaged only 7 million total viewers and a 2.3/8 rating share in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Following a second week of disappointing ratings, CBS announced that, beginning July 10, Pirate Master would move to the Tuesdays at 10PM ET/PT time period and Big Brother's live eviction episodes -- the timeslot's traditional summer occupant -- would take over the Thursdays at 8PM ET/PT time period. CBS had presumably hoped that having Big Brother's Tuesdays at 9PM ET/PT broadcasts serving as its lead-in would help boost Pirate Master's ratings, however the move didn't work -- Pirate Master's first Tuesday broadcast averaged only 4.6 million total viewers and a 1.6/5 rating/share among Adults 18-49, a significant decline from the show's already previously unimpressive Thursday night ratings. 48 Hours Mystery will replace Pirate Master in the Tuesdays at 10PM ET/PT time period.

Very frustrating. Hey Slinkydog, I have a modem, not high speed. But I find that stuff like YouTube loads in lurches, plays a bit then buffering then plays & buffers. I just leave my sound on Mute (to stop the irritating little blurbs), then ignore it for awhile, checking back to see that the horizontal red line is making progress. When it hits "Share" "Watch Again" I turn back on sound and watch again to see the whole thing at once. Hope that helps, on some long shows, I may have to wait 2-3 hrs but at least I can see them.

Pirate Masters may have been somewhat of a dog, but at least it was watchable plus something we could watch with the niece&nephew visiting. After ALL the stoooopid, inane commercials we've had to sit through so far, I can't believe they yanked it. Not sure I trust CBS, should they introduce some "New" show in the future, that they won't ruin/yank it again. This really is a sucky move CBS! Summertime and not like CBS has better stuff to offer other than reruns anyway. A Pox on your House CBS!

Cuz they can air an Infomercial at those late night / early morning hours and probably garner more income.

Actually CBS does rerun late nate stuff - then ABC and CBS have great late night (2am - 5am) News programs - I really like the news programs - even if they show stuff that has been seen on CBS evening news, etc... No excuse to pull the program!

I think that CBS owed an explanation last night to be aired right before Mystery came on. A lot of people would not have know that it was pulled. Idjits!

I'm really ticked they pulled the show. I am..well WAS...a faithful watcher and actually LIKED the show. Okay, so it wasn't the greatest but it was certainly better than all the endless reruns. It's summer, not like they've got anything better to run...so what if it's not the #1 program in that time slot. Very bad move CBS...very bad.

I'm disappointed, too. The only 2 television shows I watch are "Survivor" and "Pirate Master", both shows that CBS aired and they yanked one. I have just burned out on television over the years, and unless news about a National Disaster is being aired, you will find me reading a book, on the computer, visiting, housework, or shopping. So, thanks CBS for yanking 50% of my viewing pleasure.

I did not read how so many people could not view the 4th part of the show till I too could not view it. Why is it we cannot see it??? I was wondering why I did not have this show on my dvr and now I see why. 10 pm is pass my bedtime so I enjoy catching all the late night shows through recordings.

I went back to the site to watch the show and I was able to watch the end by switching my settings from real player to windows media. It not only played the end but skips the commercials!

I had the same experience. I knew from previous attempts that realplayer wouldn't work out well with that innertube deal. Windows Media was much better, even though on my ancient computer the video was more like a slide show. At least the audio was right. This show is feeling a lot more like Big Brother now, with the captain asking everyone in to give their nomination suggestions. I can't believe not one of them suggested Jay and Ben. It's so obvious that they're the biggest threats. Azmuth should've seen it when he left, instead of wondering aloud who the pirate master really is. I'm glad Christa didn't take Jay's advice. Maybe that's a sign that she sees through his manipulations.

Sure would love for CBS to explain why they would put a rerun of 48 Hours on instead of Pirate Master. My husband and I love this show. He is really disappointed that they have canceled it. I watched this weeks episode on the internet. It is not the same as watching it on our tv. It really sucks big time on the amount of times that it stopped and sat there buffering. I now say CBS is no better then ABC. ABC is well known for doing what CBS just did with this show. What the hell is the difference in showing a rerun or showing Pirate Master...I would bet thier ratings weren't any better.

I don't know either....maybe it's cheaper to run a rerun than it is to run something new. Or maybe the sponsors pulled out. I'm curious!

Oddly enough, as I started to watch this week's episode, I was thinking... Who the heck is Christa? Have we even seen her? I mean, Nessa, Kendra, Laurel... yeah. And all the other women. But Christa? Nada. And oh look, there she is!
