Where is he from? Announcer Voice takes away from an accent, but certain words he says in kind of odd ways (no examples at hand).

According to IMDb, the announcer voice is Robert Lee, and he is from England, but is based out of Australia.

When the greenhorn went up to talk to Keith I was like "Hey it's Moi 2.0!" but I was really surprised that Keith didn't flip out on him like he did for Moi...I thought he didn't like whiney greenhorns in the wheelhouse.

Moi went up and screamed and ranted, this guy went up and apologized after his whine. I think that's the difference, unless I missed something. Verizon was screwed up yesterday and kept playing commercials in the middle of the show.

Even better is talking about 6 weeks of harsh fishing for the Northwestern, and then immediately cutting to the CM captain talking about the 2 weeks of fishing they did?

Some seasons run concurrently. During one opilio season, the major processor ship caught fire near the beginning of the season so the boats switched to fishing for bairdi crab until the processor was running again.

Why did they have a camera on some random boat that we never saw before? When that one boat almost flipped they had a camera on some random boat, which was strange

Maybe they throw cash at other boats to let them put a fixed camera on or something.

I guess he likes short careers that get you lots of money?

EUGENE, Ore. – Police say a man who appeared in the Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch" is wanted for three bank robberies in Oregon and has been arrested in Illinois.

Police in East Peoria, Ill., say they arrested 23-year-old Joshua Tel Warner early Thursday on the Oregon bank robbery warrant after a vehicle he was riding in was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. He was being held on $30,000 bail in the Tazewell County Jail.

Police in Eugene, Ore., say he is the same Josh Warner who appeared as a greenhorn deckhand on the king crab fishing boat Wizard in the "Deadliest Catch" earlier this year. The television reality show depicts the crab fishing industry in the treacherous Bering Sea near Alaska.

The warrant charges Warner with one bank robbery in 2007 and two in 2009.

I guess we won't see him anymore.

Of course not, same with all the other Discovery shows involving well known hosts. Insurance throws a fit if Adam and Jamie, Mike Rowe or Bear get involved in something without some sort of safety help/mechanisms in place.

I think Les could get away with it since the show was essentially his baby.

Les Stroud created, produced, directed, shot, and wrote the theme song for his show through his own production company. I don't think Bear did that :v:

I hope you're all watching this show on National Geographic about some fat douchebag who takes medieval fair jousting way too seriously. 2 hours of rooting for people to get mangled on your TV.

I feel like a lot of the WACKY JOB or REDNECKS ARE SO HOT RIGHT NOW shows on the Discovery family of channels would make legitimately interesting specials or mini-series, but trying to milk an entire series out of these single concepts makes them less entertaining in addition to crowding out programming that's actually educational.

Bear Grylls has shoved pee up his rear end on TV for the last time on the Discovery Channel.

quote:

Discovery Channel has terminated its relationship with Bear Grylls, the British television personality and star of the network’s Man Vs. Wild. The severing of the relationship, which began back in 2006 when Man vs. Wild launched on Discovery, comes after the network has allegedly been unable to get Grylls to participate in two unannounced projects he was contracted for, say sources. The sixth season of Man Vs. Wild wrapped in August.

“Due to a continuing contractual dispute with Bear Grylls, Discovery has terminated all current productions with him,” a network spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter.

This is not the first time Discovery has had a disagreement with its talent. In 2010, the network sued Deadliest Catch Captains Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand for allegedly failing to complete work on the spinoff Hillstranded. The $3 million lawsuit prompted the Hillstrands and Captain Sig Hansen to quit, though a month later the dispute was settled, the suit was dropped and all three returned to work on the show.

Grylls, 37, has parlayed his fame as an extreme outdoorsman into an international media career. He’s written nearly a dozen books, many of them survival guides. His memoir Mud, Sweat and Tears – due to be published in the U.S. in May – already is a best-seller in England and Australia. He’s landed numerous endorsement deals including with Dockers and Degree deodorant. There's a Man vs. Wild video game, he has an iPhone app, and his clothing line is sold at REI and Walmart.

I don't get Keith. Every season he hires complete shitheads for his boat, spends half the season yelling at them for being shitheads, fires them, then hires more shitheads for the other half of the season and spends the rest of the season yelling at them. And occasionally slams cameramen against walls for not getting him coffee.

Everyone takes a turn in the wheelhouse while the captain sleeps, but you don't put the greenhorn in the chair when you're remotely close to anything that the ship could hit/ get hosed up by.

Also, some ships have two guys that can run things like Andy and Jonathan or Keith and Monte. Didn't Elliot completely hate his crew, too?

They could have been safer, yeah, but they've actually done a lot of myths over the years about igniting fuel (including throwing a car over a cliff with the express purpose of exploding the gas tank) and it's not as easy to do as movies make it look. Also, the truck probably runs on diesel, which is even harder to light as its meant to be ignited by pressure.

Diesel is not explosive and not very flammable at standard temperature and pressure. The vapors are but nowhere near as much as gasoline. You can put out matches in a tank full of Diesel and nothing will happen.
