I've always liked Sig but loving with Jake like that was a bit petty. It's one thing to rib a guy for painting his own logo on his boat instead of delegating, but an unprovoked pot-for-pot string is a dick move. Did he think Jake wasn't going to fight back? I get that Sig wants Jake to do things "The Right Way™" but his control freak tendencies have an ugly side. There was about zero reason to mess with him when Jake and Casey were working together, and he should not be surprised that they countered.

Yeah, Sig's better than that. That's disappointing from him. I just hope this isn't something the three of them were all in on beforehand (e- I figure it'd be pretty stupid to risk blowing a quota because Thom Beers said so). I'm cynical enough about "reality TV" that I've been waiting for them to find ways to poison about the only show left in the genre that hasn't been terribly tainted. The first couple seasons of Ice Road Truckers were interesting before it turned into trash. I feel like most everything this show did with Elliot (especially on shore) was trying to stir up DRAAAAAAMA. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Mar 30, 2016 |

I think Sig is passed that he can no longer string Jake along with the promise of running the Northwestern. How dare the kid show actual gumption in advancing his career instead of being a dutiful little deckhand for me. And oh god, I'm now caring about a "plot line" in a reality show.

I'm excited for this idiot on the Cape Caution, but seeing Bill happy and getting crab early for once is refreshing. Everything going on with Keith just fills me with dread whenever he's on camera now though. Also it's good that Freddie is on a high positive energy boat like the Time Bandit, he'll soak up those good vibes and be less lovely again.

I wonder how much input discovery has in bringing on some of these poo poo hole green horns. Like the ones without a fishing background and straight out of college. Glad to see sigs daughter is coming back. She was entertaining last time she was on the boat. And maybe it will distract sig from picking on good jake.

The reason being is the boats on the show will super underbid the normal people and discovery supplements the money lost to the boat owner or something along those lines.

The timing couldn't be shittier. They had a somewhat emotional end to the original series, people were happy, and it was bittersweet, and before the credits have even finished rolling, like some satirical 90's TV exec, they busted in the room trying to sell the idea that "if you liked Mythbusters, then you'll LOVE Mythbusters 2.0!"

Instead of Mythbusters ending on a bittersweet grand finale, I get to watch its reanimated corpse shuffling around. Maybe it can end quickly and we can pretend it never happened.

Invalid Validation posted:General rule for reality tv: it's all made up garbage. I've used before and will use again the example of how Hugh Rowland (IRT)'s autobiography has a section where he admits the Hugh you see on TV is a character (i.e., isn't the real him). He was on board from the beginning as a consultant thinking he was going to get a documentary educating people about the industry, which is what he wanted to create. When it went trash TV, he realized resistance was futile and joined in. The only reason I still watch this is I find it hard to believe they can fudge the operational side of putting/not putting piles of crab in pots with 25 foot waves for intrigue, but they're definitely doing what they can to drum up storylines at sea (case in point, "HEY, FANCY MEETIN' YOU HERE!" in the middle of the Bering Sea between the Time Bandit and Wizard tonight for Keith's pep talk) to go along with the stuff that goes on on shore for the cameras. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the dumbassed greenhorns are actors. e- Holy poo poo, Wild Bill hired a guy who's not a dumbass greenhorn!  e2- Another thing I hate about this show: I don't know what the technical term for them is (I call them "peekaboos"), but I hate fast-forwarding through my DVR to get to a 30 second to one minute segment of show in the middle of commercials only to have to fast-forward again.

Wild bill didn't do the hiring. His son did. And I really doubt they're actors. As bad as they are they still do(the ones that dont quit) more work then most people will ever do in their life in such a short amount of time.

I don't think they're actors, they're idiots who want to get on TV. Or in this case a loser who lied to get on the boat and escape outstanding warrants. And it's clear the stuff that happens between boats is manipulated.

DarklyDreaming posted:So who else is watching River Monsters: Ocean edition? It's also one of the few shows on Animal Planet that seems to still try to maintain some shred of science to it. It's definitely fallen from where it started - compare first season episodes exonerating the reputations of red-bellied piranha and alligator gar in between the man-eating predators to later seasons' constant repetition of "this fish will loving kill you dead*" - but it's miles ahead of something like Finding Bigfoot. *Sometimes appended to "loving kill you dead by accident", with the white sturgeon, halibut, jack trevally and other very large fish being assumed to pull fishermen out of their boats or ram them in a fatal way rather than straight up eat them.

During deadliest catch I'm pretty sure I saw a little corner ad for some contest to win a trip to DUTCH HARBOR. Oh boy yes I want to go on vacation in a crappy fishing town where the only things to do are stare at docked boats, pop pills/smoke meth, and drink amongst savagely depressed fishermen.
