Pirate Master

[John Crichton]

I was more concerned "captain/oficers," with the added wealth they control, could keep it away from the crew but maybe that is what you mean?

Yup, that exactly what I mean.

It does look like a concerted effort. One strategy might be for

all the women to agree that whichever woman would up on the black team would foil their chances, collapse on the trail, and allow the women to win, then put all men on the black spot until they have all been eliminated. They could sway Jupiter by promising her the captainship or an officer spot.

I was actually thinking the same thing during the latest episode, that the girls would at least consider it. It's really the best move they have right now as they need to get at least one of the Triad out.

It's past time for a mutiny.

They keep saying they need the officers to vote mutiny as well as the crew...but they are not collecting votes from the officers. I don't get it. I guess they need the officers, but it is not clear why. Maybe because once you have all votes for a mutiny, it is treated like a tie and goes to the officers to break the tie.

Anyway, I am happy our friend Kendra is still on the show. Wish she could swim better, but I have a feeling she is through the worst of it and the pressure will be off of her for many episodes to come as the backstabbing between the men gets worse.

Agreed, altho I think it's better than one happens later than earlier.

I believe they simply need the entire ship to mutiny, just like a real mutiny. So, like you said, the crew starts it and then the officers carry it through. Makes it so the captain chooses officers he or she trusts rather than just a tactic for removing votes from the crew.

They need to combine their gold to bribe the officers to mutiny with them. It's that, or get picked off one by one until it's just the captain and his crew left. Though I suppose when it is down to 5-6 people something will need to be done by the rules to adjust things, as you cannot have 3 people (captain plus two officers) versus two or one person. Well...I guess you could, but it would be much more difficult.

You can easily bribe Jay, but can you bribe the rejected NSYNC boy?

[sblock]I'm still shaking my head at Jupiter for talking about mutiny in front of the captain and crew. Not surprised she got cast adrift. It's probably a good thing since she made it clear she won't cast a mutiny vote.[/sblock]

Losing that key was a huge boneheaded move.

Watch the spoilers, please.

Wow, just as I was getting into this show. I don't get major networks, seriously. They pull the plug on shows so fast.

Bad ratings relative to the cost of the show I guess.

Though it's summer. They already filmed all episodes. They are already done in post-production, since they are releasing them on the net. So, what the heck? Why not just dump them to a new time slot. Why not broadcast them on TV? Unless there are contract terms that say they don't pay someone if they don't get broadcast on TV.

That's where I watch anyway.
