In a world filled with reality shows, sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough. I'm no fan of Survivor or the Amazing Race or anything like that, but one show that really caught my interest was Pirate Master. This show not only featured big prizes in the form of gold coins but also challenged 16 random people to act and compete like pirates. Sadly, Pirate Master did not last its whole season and the last few episodes were aired only online. Someone along the way decided that such a cool show couldn't last weeks of poor ratings. Fuck that noise. The "crew" lived and worked aboard a pirate ship. Each week they were divided into two teams- red and black. The rival pirate teams would compete for a prize by following clues from a treasure map. While figuring out the clues, the two teams could sabotage each other through bullshit avalanches of fake rocks and etc. Once they did find the treasure at the X on the map, they were rewarded with gold coins. After the challenge, a captain and two first mates were chosen to lead the crew. So through all these shenanigans, there were just a bunch of random people pretending to be pirates. There was a record producer, a fireman, a super model, and a scientist/Exotic dancer, among other things. And like any good reality show, there was ample drama on the boat between just who was the most pirate-y of the crew. Priceless.
In the end, this guy basically with no job and a band made up of his friends won it all. He got over half a million dollars and now can just dick around with the title of Pirate Master. It's safe to say that any of us wouldn't mind such a life.
