Best line all night. "J.D., which way points north?" Cut to clouds passing over the moon... Don't know whether it will work for John, but it sure was bold.

Did they really just vote off the guy who had their only compasses? And is he really allowed to take those with him? Does navigation matter in this game?

Yes. I think so. Apparently not. (I liked John. He was arrogant, but smart and creative.)

Well you can navigate by the sun and the stars at night if it's clear.

It was entertaining, but a little lame. I think it has possibilities of getting better now that we (and they) kinda know the gist of things. I was disappointed at the beginning when all the dramatic music was playing loudly over some of the people talking and it was drowning out what might have been some pertinent information about the show. Also, at the end in the preview when the male pirate threw the female over his shoulder and walked away, Daddo said "something threatened" but his accent threw me off. Did anybody catch what he said. Was it viper?

Why did JD let John sail off with the compasses? John had them right it his pocket. The captain could have ordered the crew to take them. I don't think the sun and a stick are going to cut it.

Wow, I'm surprised at the negative reaction... this is still a 1/2 hour from starting here. I was really looking forward to this being a good 'guilty pleasure' to fill my summer viewing hours. Some of your comments leave me hopeful that this show just needs to find it's legs... let's see what I think in an hour and a half...

I thought it was a pretty good show. Kind of an interesting combination of Survivor, Treasure Hunter and Big Brother on a Pirate Ship. A bit of a slow start but hopefully people will have a little patience with it. I'll admit though that I was pretty disappointed that John was voted off. I thought that he performed well and gave it a good shot. He played it in too arrogant a way and it caught up with him though.

I enjoyed it and think it will be even more entertaining as we get to know the "pirates." The only thing I thought was lame was the thing about the compasses. Oh, come, on, these landlubbers aren't alone on the high seas. There are other ships and real sailors and navigators running things. Sorry to see John go, though.

My problem was they didn't introduce to the new show, format, or <100> host. So as the show went on we had to figure out what the rules were and how this game/show was being played. For example, I'm pretty sure the PirateMaster Navy guy made a stupid mistake not choosing to better split the bounty, but since we saw no discussion about it I'm not really sure. What I am sure of is there are a few folks on the show we only saw in the background. I'd like to know who is who and who I'm rooting for. To meet them you had to read their profile while they explained the game. I still can't believe this is done by Mark Burnett. Forgetting totally about the format, it's one of the most confusingly produced and presented new show I've ever seen, so I'm rather stunned it's by someone of that magnitude. It got a little more interesting by the end, but I'm still not certain of all the rules or what I think of most of them since all we got were sound bites. I'm with TVWatcher....the highlight of the night for me was the several BB commercials (thought I admit to fear at Julie announcing changes/new whatever--somehow BB changes (think twin twist lol) tend to scare me. But heck, I'll take the fish tank or even that damn fireplace...but get BB on if this is all we have to watch until then!

I wasn't sorry to see John go. He gave me the creeps from the beginning. Whoever told him that it was sexy to invade a woman's personal space and talk in whispers with his hands lied to him ... ick ... I thought that one girl was gonna clock him and I was right with her ...

I too wonder how you tell direction when there are no stars in the sky or you're not on land and have no where to put your stick. Both things sounded way too scripted anyways. I'll give it another week but seriously hope they work the kinks out. I was looking forward to this but the editing sucks.

I'll give it another week, but I was bored. I wanted more skill involved with finding the treasure (I really want these people to have to work for it) At this point I think the kitten up above would make a better captain.

Well, since I was a Treasure Hunters fan - actual intelligence involved there! - I am enjoying a new type of show. Since JD was one of my two favs - Sean is the other one - I kind of hate to see him in a high profile kind of role and was disappointed in how he handled it. However, it almost seemed to me as if his part was "scripted" to elicit reaction from the crew. I was vastly entertained to see Louis go from a "Marina owner" to a "Fishing dock operator." I was glad to see John go as arrogance is the very bottom characteristic-liking list! I look forward to seeing an entertaining show next week -
