Pirate Master Premiere – John Set Adrift
Pirate Master premiered last night after the most show hype of any show in years. It reminded me a bit of last summer’s Treasure Hunters because of the treasure maps and compasses. And there’s a touch of Survivor in it too, but the show adds a few of its own unique touches too.
Instead of building to a big payoff for one fortunate player at the end of the season, Pirate Masters will have the pirates search for parts of the million dollars each week and will split what they find.
But there’s a huge catch. The captain (the crew voted JD as the captain) gets 50% of the loot each time. And his two officers get to split 50% of what’s left. The remainder is left to split among the pirates who found it.
Now we can see that the scene has been set for some nasty cutthroat play and full-on backstabbing.
Last night, John was set adrift and took with him the two compasses which he had stolen in order to try to save himself from being eliminated. Now we will get to see the pirates try to find their treasure without a compass to guide them. The stakes just went up.
I’m personally not a fan of shows where the object is to backstab the others, but we’ll see how this one plays out.
