I figured the novelty of it would've worn off by now, but I still love it.<div>
</div><div>The guy getting his finger chopped off last night... gruesome. I don't know if they stage some of the drama within the boat crews, but that **** was for real.</div><div>
</div><div>Elliot on the RR.. I'd like to ***** slap him. I'm dead serious when I say I could manage a boat better than he does. Did anyone else hear in the court depo. that he called his baby mama 500 times in one day?</div><div>
</div><div>Sig.. he hams it up for the cameras, obviously but I still love him.</div><div>
</div><div>Keith.. he whines a lot but I've come to respect him. Even though he was completely irrational over his brother almost beaching the boat. I mean seriously... WTF was he supposed to do? Call and give Keith a second by second update? And those 17'ers made $154,000 each for opie season. Damn.</div><div>
</div><div>Junior.. I'd rather be on his boat than any if I had to do that job. If you don't believe professionalism trickles down in an organization, check out the difference between his and Elliot's boat. I don't know if Discovery has put him and Edgar up to this team thing, but it's going to be interesting.</div><div>
</div><div>Jake Harris is a huge dope head. Seriously.. I think he's permanently fried.</div><div>
</div><div>The Time Bandit is just kind of there. Johnathan Hillstrand is the oldest 48 year old man on the planet. He and Jake Harris are in a race to the grave.</div><div>
</div><div>Wild Bill Wichrowski probably has the worst parenting skills known to man. I feel much better knowing if his kid isn't completely 17'ed then mine has half a chance.</div>

My wife got me hooked a few years ago. I didn't see how the finger got chopped off, but I saw it when he was at the hospital. I like Sig the best and my wife thinks he has good dancing skills.

I used to love ax men but have just about given up on it. I only watch Shelby and the Smith boys now... The rest is just crap. Same with Ice Road Truckers. It just got old. But Deadliest Catch is fantastic.

Sig is and will always be the man.

They seriously need to stop following Elliot. You can tell that he likes the camera more than being a good fisherman. He thinks he's on Jersey Shore. I actually root for all of his pots to be blanks. As for Junior, that dude is a legend in the making. Last, Jake Harris will be dead in a year if he keeps it up. They have to fire him. Right now he is being enabled. I wonder how much they make from the show? He is snorting all of it or just buying more meth.

drugging? I didn't catch it all. When they were showing the wedding scenes, he definitely had the meth face with all of the sores.

I really like Junior as well. He is going to be the future of that show.

Keith is a whinny ***** but he damned sure catches a lot of crab every season.

I feel sorry for Jake Harris, you can tell he is his own worst enemy right now. His brother Josh will be running his Dad's boat in another season or two.

Johnathan Hillstrand looked terrible because he decided to try and ride a bull during the mid season break and broke four ribs in seven places. He was trying to recoup from that the entire Opilio season.

That shot of the Wizard in the ice tidal waves was unreal last night.

Unless you've been in the Bering Sea it's difficult to imagine just how tough their job really is. As aformer Coast Guardsman I've been up there on a ship that was 4 times the size of those crab boats and even then it was a rough ride. Not to mention being out on deck in the adverse elements working the hours they work. It boggles my mind they they survive and come back for more.

Sig is the man. ifI were going to work up there he's the man who's boat I would want to be on. A true professional mariner.

The captains need to run Jake's *** off until he can get it together. The only way he'd get on my boat is to pass the whiz quiz and allow me to search every piece of luggage he brings aboard and his person as well. I'm not too worried about a dope head killing themselves, they're adults and have made that decision, I'm worried they may cause someone else to be hurt or killed.

They quickly showed a couple of clips of him looking fried and I think it was Sig who said the things he's putting in his body are worse on him than the job right now.<div>
</div><div>If I'm Discovery, I'd have to be very cautious about exploiting his drug habit for ratings. Somewhere down the line they could have some exposure problems a la Penn State.</div>

1. I like Keith. I'm not sure why he got such a reputation of being a *** when every captain yells and screams and cusses everyone out. At least Keith admits he has a temper and loses his cool too much. If I were going to work on a boat, I'd take the 150K they made in three months on the Wizard.

2. Sig is just great. He and his brother run a tight ship.

3. The Hillstrands are just a couple of middle-aged boat captains that act like kids. I go from liking them to not liking them. Not sure how I would react if the boat captain ran out on deck with a shotgun and started shooting ice of the cables. Or run up to the rail and start emptying their AK47 in the ocean.

4. I usually hit the "skip forward" button on my remote when Elliot comes on. I don't think it would be possible to put someone on that show that I despise more. I felt sorry for his ex when he showed up, uninvited, at her door expecting to stay there. Dude needs to grow up - a lot.

5. Junior is something else. I've never seen someone so caught up in their own hype. I like Junior, but like Keith said, he's a legend in his own mind. And those that want to work for him? My god the guy is a slave driver. What did they say, they got like 13 hours sleep in the last week? Holy ****.

6. Jake Harris. My goodness, that boy has troubles. And he thinks he's going to be a captain? Clean yourself up, Jake. The other Jake is 10 times the captain you are, and he's not anywhere near ready.

since it was not on the news for running ashore, I was still sitting there thinking they were all dead. Crazy *** scene right there.

"Man, they've gotta get out of this.. If they crashed it would've been all over the news back in March."

I absolutely could not think of a job I would want to do less than being a crab fisherman in the Bering Sea. A guaranteed million per year would not be enough.

My wife absolutely hates Eliot. Even the sound of his voice ticks her off. His baby momma should move to Florida and changeher name to get away from that psycho loser. Who in the hell would let him captain their ship after watching this show?
