Pirate Master


I have watched episodes 9 and 10 of Pirate Master online at CBS Innertube and here's what I have to say. Starting with episode 9, the pirates celebrated making it to the final 8 with a pirate style party. It was fun to see the lighter side of the pirates, but for a strategic game there's little reason for it. After the 24 hour party, Cameron Daddo told the 2 officers (Jay and Ben) that they were stripped of their positions and there's only a captain (Azmyth) and a crew (everyone besides Azmyth) thus Jay and Ben were shockingly demoted. With that said, Azmyth competed on the Black Crew while Jay and Ben were randomly assigned to the Red Crew, opposing my beloved Azmyth for the first time in more than 5 episodes. The expedition was intense and exciting. In the end, the red crew was victorious and tragically Christa replaced Azmyth as captain. In addition she received 100% of the gold. Now I'm not saying I hate Christa, because that's far from the truth. It's just that my #1 favorite pirate is Azmyth. It only got worse from there as for Captain Christa blackmarked Kendra and Azmyth. At a heartbreaking pirate's court, Azmyth was cut adrift by a unamanous ballot. I'll probably be rooting for Jay now as I think he's the next best pirate.

In episode 10, the expedition was water-themed. Before the expedition began, each crew filled 3 buckets with water. Then they had to figure out how many pints are in a quart and put the water in the corresponding hole to reveal their next clue. The Black Crew lost a lot time with their poor measurement putting the Red Crew in the lead. The Red Crew then struggled with the waterfall clue however which made the expedition neck on neck. Ultimately, the Black Crew won by an extremely slight margin thus continuing Christa's captaincy. Captain Christa blackmarked Kendra and Nessa with Nessa finally being cut adrift by another yet unaminous ballot. Nessa would of had more gold if she wasn't spending so much time flirting with Joe Don until he was cut adrift in Episode 7.
