SalTheBard posted:I couldn't loving believe that poo poo. Keith is my least favorite Captain, but man I feel bad for him with his poo poo Greenhorns. Its my belief that a crabber like Jake Anderson is 1 in a million and Sig was smart to make him a full share as quickly as he did. I think the kiska sea poo poo on him because from my limited google most crabbers not on the show hate the deadliest catch. I have read that there is even one captain who under bids everyone to get a quota that he can only afford because discover channel picks up the tab. Also why do the deckhands talk poo poo when they are working if they can be heard by the captain? I never understood that. Like last nights episode and everyone saying the druggie elliot would be better then Jake.

ToastyPotato posted:I have never seen a behind the scenes explanation for how the captains can hear everything being said on deck. They make it seem like it is coming over an intercom, and I know that most of, if not all of the decks, do have one, but that is usually in one spot on the deck, and the person has to stand near it to use it. Not sure how people talking poo poo by the launcher are being heard over it. The microphone would have to be permanently transmitting, and also sensitive as hell, and I feel like they would mostly only be hearing wind, water, and mechanical noises at that point, based on my own experiences with various mics and recording in various conditions. It has to be a discovery channel thing because it easily sparks drama as we can see.

Lord Tywin posted:It's pretty hilarious that Josh can't even pretend to give a poo poo, must really suck for Casey though working with someone who only wants to be on TV and whose disregard almost maimed him. That must explain why Jake is able to do a poo poo load more with a boat when it seems like they are on the same level captain experience wise.

howe_sam posted:I'm pretty sure it was Jake Harris, not Josh, who tried to bring the flat screen onto the boat. Up to now Josh had been working pretty hard to take over the CM, putting in all that time working on the Time Bandit and such. That being said it was shocking how indifferent the editing made Josh look while Casey was trying to repair the rudder, I wonder if the CM is the boat that discovery Channel covers part of their bid for quota that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Would make sense.

I got a question. Since there is a discovery channel chase boat following all these boats why do they talk like they are in trouble if the boat should sink? Like Jake this episode said "If this tank fills up with water we are getting in a raft". But they aren't because theres a boat following you filming you. Also when Keith went near the russian border. You were not there alone, there was chase boat filming you. I assume they just act like there isn't a boat filming them to not ruin the immersion?

I wonder if bill picks up these terrible greenhorns just to stay on the show. I mean besides seeing how bad is his greenhorn going to gently caress up what else does he have going to be on the show? His deckhands are boring and hes just an angry old man most of the time. And hes near the bottom of the pack in amount of crab gathered. It's always north western, time bandit, and the wizard at the top.

CBJSprague24 posted:It's interesting the disparity between the seemingly well-oiled machines that are the Northwestern and Time Bandit and the disorganized messes like Every Other Boat. I think we also have to remember they shoot a poo poo load of hours of footage. I'm sure it's not super hard to find something they can edit to be interesting. I think time bandit and northwestern do so well because they don't get greenhorns as often lately and the ones they got were pretty good and/or family. Not some random person. spanky69 posted:Well when everybody else was finished wasn't Bill headed back out to catch bairdi?

ToastyPotato posted:RE: Chase Boats They are on the boat for the whole season. And I guess the chase boat thing just confused me because they seem to match it up really well and make it look like the chase boat is there next to them when the scene is going on. Like when they were fixing the crane on the northwestern (i think) I am pretty sure the chase boat was there as they were doing it.

ToastyPotato posted:Unless you believe in conspiracy theories, History is basically right out. TLC is nothing but reality shows at this point, isn't it? Deadliest Catch might be only Discovery show left that doesn't lead toward pure reality drama, and even that show has slipped in recent years. It's not even the deadliest job in the world since they changed the rules in the mid 2000's. Still a loving really hard job but hardly as deadly as it used to be.

To be fair that kid was kind of a poo poo stain dick head to the crew before that happened. It's called fitting in. You aren't in an office job where you can do your own thing and ignore everyone else besides the most basic interaction.

Because he seems at least nice to you at the start and if you aren't a complete idiot it should go well. Wild bill seems like the type who will always be angry or disappointed at you no matter what.

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.

muscles like this? posted:I read an article a while back on that and apparently it's just a problem they've been having ever since the show started. They get people who want to do it for just a year or something to get on TV. Ya makes sense. I also read most of the other crab fisherman don't like the Deadliest catch. 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.
