Pirate Master - About the show

[barefootdyke]

tv guide channel is running some "pirate master preview" shows over the next several days. i wasn't too interested in the show until i started watching this preview. they take some time letting you get to know who the people are.

now i can't wait for it to start.

I have something else on, at the moment, but am taping this preview. For some odd reason, I'm quite excited about this show. Maybe because so many other things have wrapped up recently, and it's a long haul to (the so-so, in my book) premier of Big Brother.

I hope this is as much fun as it looks to be.

oh, and even though rupert won't be on, they just showed a guy that's practically a rupert clone ... his name is louie (sp?)

Am I imagining things? Today at work I thought I saw a post in this thread that included an interview of the host. He provided a bit more detail about the show and commented on each contestant. Now that I'm home, I don't see the post.

Puzzled.

It was a link to another reality site, which isn't allowed.

So, one question. Are these guys trained sailors or are they simply people that have been given a crash course in pre-modern sailing?
I would think that the insurance companies would have a field day with this, lol!

I saw that preview. I already hate some of the contestants, lol.

Seriously, I don't like the fact that the host was "handicapping" all the contestants and did not think that one woman had much of a chance, who to me was indistiguishable from the next one, but he was practically drooling over the next one for no discernable reason --- and she turned out to be a friend of the boxer who was on their sister show, Survivor. I don't like to see people getting on these shows through special favors. And I never liked Pavarti and don't expect to like her friend either. Were they "dating" someone connected with the show or something? Yuck!

I hope they do not all turn out to be completely obnoxious.

Mark Barnett or whatever his name is was interviewed as saying he is proud of the look of his shows, and I do agree with that. From the preview it seems the production design is as good as Survivor's.
