1144 viewings now. Thanks, Naja. I realize that Blake took over in the natural order of things (well I hope it wasn't pushed by the show) but I have to admit I prefer to see the crusty "older" captains. With Blake it feels like the slip toward boy band lookalikes. And after last week, seems like he should be careful about telling all.. sort of the Dreamz of DC. Look forward to the other clips when you post 'em!

What an episode! I almost cried when Johnathan and the overboard guy were hugging. Such emotion! As crusty as they are...as hard as they appear...they really do care about each other. Guess you have to - tight quarters and life and death situations. Beats any soap opera I've watched. btw-while I love me some Edgar, Johnathan is the type I usually marry...lol Strikes me as the bad-boy type. He shivers me timbers.

I am sitting here on pins and needles waiting for Sig on Leno. It's not in the listings at all. Is it really true?

The Time Bandit and the Hillstrand brothers have always been my favorite. The flour bomb last week was great. That whole crew are truly heroes. I believe that guy would have died if they weren't watching him so closely. When Johnathan was in the wheel house telling the captain of the other boat that they got him aboard the emotion coming from Jonathan was incredible. And then of course the hug afterward. I'm in love with Jonathan. . Now if I can just convince him to cut his mullet! hehe

Tera, not the mullet! lol I really enjoy how he lightens things up with his pranks. Like a lot of folks, work hard & play hard. Edgar is a hoot...when he was wearing the bird shit like a badge of honor was too funny.

Thanks for the link, Naja. Last night was the first time I saw the show. I thought I would have a heart attack watching it. I was wondering about the camera men on the boats. They are nuts to be there! lol!

Carson Daly is my least favorite of all the talk show hosts, but I must admit he did a good job at least of getting Sig and Edgar to talk about something different than the same ole stuff the other hosts did. Sig and Edgar on Last Call with Carson Daly http://youtube.com/watch?v=bHHn1UaAGM0

btw, this must be the end of their press tour. I can't find them in the listings anymore. Let me know if you see them in your listings anywhere for this week.

Okay... I need help here. Exactly how do they get paid? Aren't they paid per pounds caught - like maybe $5.00 per pound? One guy was holding a big crab and said it was a $25.00 crab - so maybe it weighed about 5 lbs.

Lexie, I think it is $25 a crab regardless of weight because they measure the crabs and they have to be over a certain size. I think that's what I heard.

From what I understand they do get paid per pound. However that price fluctuates. I was watching a re-run DC the other day and one of the captains was hurrying to get his crab to the offload station because the price dropped by $1 per pound the next day. It seems like it is the same for both the red king crab as well as the opi's. But then again I could be totally wrong.

During the first season I heard them say $5.00 a pound.

But last night he made sure he had a deckhand down there counting the number of crabs when they were off loading. Remember the captain got mad because his deckhand left the count?

I think he was reading the weight on the scale attached to the top of the big "crab bag".

Thanks y'all !!! Paying by pound makes a lot more sense than by the amount caught. I mean, seriously, that would be one of the suckiest jobs ever having to count each crab that comes off the boats.

I got got home so late last night. The first show I clicked on to start on my tivo was Deadliest Catch. Now remember the reason I wasn't home is because I volunteer for "March of Dimes" in the office. I got home, started my recording, and at some point dozed off. DC decided to be incorporated into my dream. Here I was in the office doing the regular calls, and between calls I had to go to the deck and sort crab. If this is any kind of message, please go to your local March of Dimes division and donate... March of Dimes is wonderful cause.
