Pirate Master was an idea plundered by Survivor creator Mark Burnett, claims a lawsuit filed by James Papa Friday, according to TMZ.
Papa insists that he copyrighted the idea for a pirate-themed reality show in 2003, four years before that scurvy dog Burnett went and raided the idea and put it on CBS.
Papa is seeking $2 [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Jupiter.
Jupiter Mendoza: Hey Josh. How are you?
JC: I’m good and yourself?
JM: Doing good.
JC: Cool. So were you a reality TV fan before you got on Pirate Master?
JM: Yes, I was a huge reality TV fan. I watched any show on any of the major networks, VH1, MTV, the E! network. Everything.
JC: [...]

Darkness after Pirates’ Court and Nessa was sad to see Joe Don go but was happy to give him the goodbye kiss. Kendra told Jay she gave him his word (she didn’t) and he knew it. Jay called her out. Kendra just didn’t like the choice and considers them the enemy saying “the Triad needs [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Jon Don.
Joe Don Morton: Hey Josh, how are you doing?
JC: I’m doing good. What about you?
JDM: I’m good.
JC: Cool. There is a rumor that you were originally cast for Survivor: Guatemala, but you were replaced by someone else and put on Pirate Master instead. Is that true?
JDM: Yes, it is true that [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Joy.
Joy McElveen: Hi. How are you?
JC: I’m good. What about yourself?
JM: I’m good.
JC: Great. So were you a reality TV fan before you got on this show?
JM: I was a little bit. My favorite reality show is America’s Next Top Model. I also really like the ones that make me laugh like [...]

Still dark after Pirates’ Court and the Triad still want to gun after Kendra who remains the weakest link. Joe Don is dying to beat the Triad (Azmyth/Jay/Ben).
Morning, and breakfast time. Kendra complained she needed to eat more. Louie felt he was losing weight. Azmyth gives his duties. Nessa hates his ego trip and said [...]

Dawn on the ship, and Nessa felt she must have made a good impression on Joe Don but Joy doesn’t trust Azmyth and his boys, Jay and Ben. Azmyth calls the threesome, “The Triad”. The girls are also looking to band together.
So the masts lower again on the ol’ ship. Joe Don doesn’t think Azmyth [...]

Pirate’s court is over and Joe Don felt he needed to spend the $7,000 on the pardon. Ben was sorry to see Cheryl go. And Nessa’s flirting is getting on the nerves of Sean and Jupiter. Louie feels a captain should not take more than two shares. And we finally get to meet Christa, who [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Cheryl.
Cheryl Kosewicz: Hi Josh.
JC: How are you doing?
CK: Not too shabby.
JC: Good. So what attracted you to Pirate Master?
CK: It was just kinda a big surprise for me. I had tried out for Survivor initially and made it through to the final auditions, but didn’t make it. Then they called me and [...]

Cheryl may have been saved by the last vote but is worried the mood of the ship is going from judging people on merit to being a popularity contest. Meanwhile, Sean apologized to Jay for renegging on their deal. But Jay had no interest in accepting.
We see more cleaning of the deck. Which may be [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Alexis.
Alexis Shubin: Hey. How are you?
JC: I’m doing good. How about you?
AS: Great.
JC: So tell me how does one go from being a fashion publicist to a pirate on a ship?
AS: That’s so funny. Well I work in fashion, but I’m not like a girly girl at all. Like what people usually [...]

Morning dawns. Louie is out for revenge. The division between Joe Don and the crew widens.
Jupiter decides to get the crew more into the spirit by doing a little face-painting. Laurel feels living in a van made her a good pirate (uh, o.k.). Alexis wasn’t having fun with the work.
The pirates come to the deck. [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey Christian.
Christian Okoye: How you doing Josh?
JC: I’m good. How about you?
CO: I’m doing good as well.
JC: Great. Did your football experience help you on Pirate Master at all?
CO: I think so. For football, we always had to stay in shape. So that helped me prepare for the rigors of being on the [...]

The crew are happy that John is gone. Joe Don looks to delegate some responsibilities so he chooses Sean as a cook and Jay to lead the workers. Cheryl doesn’t trust Jay but goes ahead with it.
The chores begin at dawn. The crew is called in for breakfast and are served something which may have [...]

Josh Clinton: Hey John. How are you?
John Lakness: I’m doing well. Thanks.
JC: You have an interesting background. You are highly educated and a scientist, but yet you are also an exotic dancer. How did that all come about?
JL: From the science perspective, my grandfather had a double PHD in Mathematics and Physics. He was one [...]

The show began with host Cameron Daddo calling the “pirates” in to show them the “Chest of Zanzibar”. We got to meet some of the folks. We certainly expected Louie, who must be sick by now of reading the Rupert comparisons, to get a lot of face time. He just seems like a big, fun-loving [...]
