Can you say LAWSUIT?

Hello Fishies!

What a fiasco! And reading the message boards makes it clear that many were sucked into the drama and completely fooled.

The license that is being taken with this show seems to know no bounds. One shot shows some weather with Rowe’s voice over declaring it ever so dangerous, while the next shows crews working the deck in tee-shirts. Huh?

Some of the boats are pulling nothing but blanks and yet they are moving up the crab count board. Huh?

And that whole edited radio crab/revenge piece. What a load of hooey. I was amazed that they showed the CM removing about a thousand bucks worth of crab from another fisherman’s pot. Uh fishies, that is a crime.

People sure turned into a pack of jackals over the whole thing. Is it believing what they want to believe or what they think they saw? Even when Captain Blake posted this to the forums people still chose not to believe him:

this is blake painter. i think everyone should know

how much B.S. there is on this show. you all should

pay close attention to the edditing done in order for

original productions to achieve the desired drama

(even at the cost of peoples career's)the so desire

for ratings!the drama with phil and i tonight was a

collection of 20days worth of footage,strategically

spliced together to get what they wanted!if you pay

attention you can see one side of the conversation is

in the dark and on a telephone,where as i am on a

radio and in the daylight.not to mention the radio on

channel 9 is a hailing channel!im fed up with the b.s.

of the whole show, i dont understand why straight

forward footage of us fishing isnt enuf . the last 2

seasons have become a soap opera!you wont be seeing

the maverick on season 4 if there is one!but thank you

to all of you who have possitive feed back. Blake

 

To me the editing was so poorly done; I can not believe anyone actually fell for it. Phil is talking to some one on a phone, hangs up the handset, and next shot he is talking on it again. Blake is talking on a radio and yes Channel 9 is a hailing channel. You have daylight and nighttime going on in the same conversation and the usual clothing issues we all have noticed in the past.

No one should have to defend themselves when they have been wronged. The damage that was done last year when his dad had cancer was bad enough, but this adds insult to injury. I hope he sues the ever lovin’ crap out of ‘em.

Stay tuned!

I'm disgusted with the soap opera/Survivoresque editing on Season 3. Makes me yearn for the clean and fun happenings on Season 1, before all the celebrity-itis hit.

Does DC actually think they need to tear some down and build some up in such a fashion? WHY? I no longer believe the narrator of the show!!!! How can that be a good thing?

It saddens me than viewers who don't investigate further are left thinking they are seeing the real thing. The editing in the 4/17 show was OBVIOUS!

I can pass by some of the stuff, but this season they've called into question the qualifications of a captain and the crew, which was not only unflattering but untrue! They've ignored the families of the Ocean Challenger's crew and decided they were secondary to the showing the "real thing". BTW, the voice-over indicated the coast guard searched for a few hours after returning the survivor to Cold Bay, but WE know the CG cutter stayed on scene AT LEAST OVERNIGHT!

It scares me to think what they're doing with the "man overboard" previews for next week.

I will be sending my comments to both Discovery Channel and Original Productions.

I too am upset by the lack of intelligance on the boards. People are in a mindset to he spitefull just because they don't take the time to do research, and to really pay attention as to what is actually going on.

Then you have the poor editing by the producers. Most of the people that dislike Blake do so because of the poor editing from LAST season. Last season they made it sound like Blake walked off the Maverick during Opie season because he didn't get to be captain. I has been posted time and time again, even by Donna and Rick, that Blake was running his dads boat during Opie season.

So now thanks to poor editing so far this season, this has caused those who already dislike Blake to take it even further, even posting rather personal information about something in his youth.
