Pirate Master






On the online season finale of Pirate Master which aired on CBS Innertube on August 28, 2007, the pirates faced 2 exceptionally tough and important expeditions. In the semifinal expedition it was every pirate for themselves in a battle for a guaranteed spot in the final 2 and the opportunity to hunt for Captain Henry Steele's $500,000 fortune. Ben and Jay were definitely stronger and smarter competitors than normal while Christa was rather weak in the finale. Jay sabotaged Christa at the bridge by cutting it down with a sword. That obviously forced her to take the longer route through the jungle rather than over it across the bridge. By the time Jay cut down the bridge Ben also made it across so Jay's sabotage didn't affect him. Ben eventually passed Jay and found the treasure worth $50,000 under a waterfall. He then decided to split the $50,000 evenly between himself, and the other 2 remaining pirates. Why did he do that when he could of kept it all for himself and still have the same exact chance at winning the $500,000 Chest of Zanzibar. At pirate's court the ghosts which consisted of the 13 pirates who were previously cut adrift cast their ballots on who they wanted to be cut adrift. Jay was cut adrift by a 12:1 ballot.

Ben and Christa then picked 3 ghosts each to help them win the Chest of Zanzibar. Ben's choices were Cheryl, Azmyth, and Nessa. Christa's choices were John, Jay, and Nessa. As you can see, both pirates wanted Nessa on their crew so this dilemma was solved by Nessa herself deciding what crew she would like to be on. She decided to be a member of Christa's Crew. I found it very interesting that both of the final 2 pirates wanted Nessa who was one of the weakest pirates in the competition (though I think Christian was weaker). Though I most certainly agree with Ben's choice of Azmyth as he was most likely the strongest pirate in the game and most certainly deserved a spot in the final 2. In their final expedition, Ben Fagan and Christa DeAngelo had to find one of the keys to the Chest of Zanzibar on their grueling expedition. Then they had to open a puzzle box with it and solve a puzzle to find out that 1688 was the correct combination to unlock the silver key and the Chest of Zanzibar worth $500,000 which was won by Ben Fagan. Congratulations Ben, although I was rooting for Christa to win in the beginning of the finale she weakened enough that I think you deserved it far more. In other news, Cheryl must of died somehow as there was a message at the end of the episode that was in her memory. :( I heard nothing about Cheryl's death until this message on the finale and it most certainly made me cry. I just feel so bad for Cheryl. I have no clue about how she died so if anyone knows can they please tell me in the comments? Thanks. Well sadly this was my last Pirate Master recap as the show was canceled by CBS already so there obviously won't be a second season.
