First Ratings Stunt of Season 11 Released

We've seen two captains do that.  (Three if your definition of 'wife' is loose enough to include Elliot's girl.)  At least one of them was capable to do some work, tough.

How about a survivor crossover? With each episode ending with a vote over who gets to walk the plank.

:facepalm:

ok, someone get me Sig's number stat, if he's going to allow women on the boat, then I want a chance 

And God I hope they don't do the 'bring your wife to work day'

What I am about to say may get me flamed & that's fine, this is just MHO

Ever since I saw that special that they aired called 'Luckiest Catch' I dunno, there's just something that felt off to me. The interviewer sat down with Sig & June & Sig was talking about how she is the boss at home & he defers to her on everything.

Now, the wives/girlfriends/children of these guys I kind of find it similar to the families who have their wife/husband who serves in the military & are often gone for long periods on deployment. Often times it is the husband who is deployed & the wives are left behind to 'hold the fort down' so to speak while their husbands are gone. And I empathize that it can be hard on the wives who are left & so they have to deal with everything at home while the guys are at sea & I can imagine how hard it would be when they do come home for the wives to have to relearn, as it were, how to accomplish that division of labor.


But the thing that felt off to me was, we see every week the way he is on the boat, I'd even go so far as to say he's a Type A personality (just going by what I see on TV) & so for him, as in control he likes to be on the boat, that he would just throw up his hands & go along with whatever his wife wants with no argument just seems weird.


The environment I was raised with was the man is the head of the household & so the final decision is his, that's the way my parents raised me. Now, my folks are divorced & my mom has re-married & my mom is the one that handles the bills & whatnot now, just simply because my step-dad is NOT good with money. Now, I am NOT saying women can't be HOH, so don't misunderstand me, it's just with Sig's personality (am I am using him as an example because it was him the special was focused on) as I see it doesn't mesh well with how I was raised)


So I can just see the EPIC FAIL 'bring your wife to work day' would be on that particular boat (or hell, for any of the boats for that matter). I can see it now, June trying to assert her 'authority' & Sig hitting the roof & having a heart attack or something *KNOCK ON WOOD* 

If this woman has the slightest inkling that she will be seasick (and she does), she should not set foot on a crab boat.
They do not have time to waste getting her off the boat.
And her silly statements that it will be awesome, or whatever she said, tells me she does not have a clue.

Hey, guys, I'm looking forward to this. I'm a weather nut and haven't missed an episode of the Storm Chasers and about every other reality weather program out there. It will be fun to watch a meteorologist trying to explain what low front (or high front) is coming in and how it will affect the ocean.

Oh Lord, I didn't even think about that 


I can see the Sig & the guys' glazing over now, because she's using all these big fancy words & they're reaction is likely to be WTF???

I'm not saying the guys are stupid so you there with the pitchfork can put it down now, I just mean, sometimes people like Dr. Reid from Criminal Minds get going & their audience just kinda zones out 

Nothing off at all about how Sig and June's relationship
works. I'm going by what I know of merchant marine families from the 30s on. When your husband is gone for months at a time, it doesn't matter if he is the captain or God Almighty on the ship. He can be a type A perfectionist, expect to be heard and obeyed, but once that wife has gotten used to handling the ups and downs of house and family independently, she doesn't revert back to "Yes, dear" just because hubby is at home for a while. Most mm wives did not tolerate their husbands giving their opinion on how the household was run. Most did not tolerate their husbands HAVING an opinion on how the household was run. When you have to make decisions big and small and cannot even reach your husband most of the time, you can't pretend your husband gets absolute final say just because he is male and home. He captains his ship the wife captains hers, neither one offers unsolicited advice on either operation.

Sorry I must have missed something, who was talking about getting high?

Now see, that right there is what I'm talking about...I can just see her spitting something like that out & the guys' smiling, nodding & saying something like 'wow that's really cool' & then as they're walking away mumbling to each other 'what the hell did she just say?' 'dunno, all sounded like Greek to me' 

I love watching the weather! In my next life I want to be a meteorologist, or an NTSB accident reconstruction person. I guess I like puzzles.

nwfan, I was just saying that these guys are more concerned with high waves than high fronts.

I would rather watch Ginger Zee on the boat than a female who just wants to prove something on TV

Well, if nothing else, this confirms the NW is back on DC. Any other confirmations?

darianagle -  Did you see where TWC just eliminated 40 staffers?  So sad.  What a lousy company it became.  Also, did you hear tell of the blockbuster new study that attributes the unusual warmth in the Northwest to natural PDO?  They directly refute anthroprogenic causes as being significant.
