Here in Canadia, "uttering threats" to cause bodily harm constitute a Criminal Offense. A threat doesn't have to be communicated directly to the person it was aimed at. "Death threats" can get you up to 5 years in jail if judge and jury find you were a) sober at the time and b) meant every word. Dudley would have had the cuffs out before you could say "Kuujjuarapik".** The DC Captains used to be considered "Role Models", once. I guess E.N, can forget about getting his picture on the Wheaties Box.... ** A small village on the eastern shores of Hudson Bay, formerly known as "Poste-de-la-Baleine" -- or simply, "Great Whale". Elliott has so many mental issues..!!

That way when the fcc comes calling the producers can show them the fake scripted bs...! That way they don't get their license pulled but when the viewing audience sees and hears that dead threat they start calling the fcc and voice their displeasure. So, now the new ceo of disco has vowed to cut this crap out, so now more Elliott is would seem. The show really is becoming boring, same ol same ol, set traps pull traps, make up scripted crap in between, how many time can someone watch the same thing over and over...ridiculous...time to pull the plug on this show..!

Ah-Ha! A "phoney" phone call! We never DO hear the voice on the other end, do we?
"Scripting" does have its place (99 per cent of "The Perfect Storm" is after all "scripted", right down to that computer-generated, 200-foot Rogue Wave) but it shouldn't be allowed to parade itself as "Reality".
You can put away the cuffs now, Dudley.....

Well your every post is a jab at Elliott - although it's odd you would choose the name of his last girlfriend as your user name.

I'm pretty sure I would have been kicked of the board immediately if I started posting as 'Edgar Hansen' or 'John Hillstrand' or someone else like that. It shouldn't be accepted that someone takes the name of Elliot's girlfriend either, just because most of you think Elliot is the biggest jerk on earth.

It shouldn't be accepted that someone takes the name of Elliot's girlfriend either, just because most of you think Elliot is the biggest jerk on earth. I'm going to take responsibility for this happening. I did not realize until a few days ago that Jess Behring is the name of Elliot's last girlfriend. No, it is not OK to use her name to post on this board, just like it is not OK to post under a name like Edgar Hansen or Monty Colburn. So, to the person who has been using Elliot's girlfriend's name: No more. From now on you need to post under another username. If you use the JB username, your post will be deleted. Your previous posts before this warning will remain on the board.

Those were some weird posts. Yikes. Good on anitalouise and seasick for calling that person out, and mari for handling the situation. I couldn't tell you the first name of any of Elliots girlfriends, let alone the first and last name of the one on the boat. Who cares? Seems a bit obsessive to me.

I don't hate Elliott. Does he get on my nerves - big time yes. He is a guy who has numerous problems he needs to address. It is as much his fault as Dicos for showing it all on tv. Phone call after phone call, tirade after tirade, etc. However, Elliott should have learned from the first couple of seasons and chosen not to appear on the show last year. I guess he wanted his extended 15 minutes of fame. I sincerely hope he cleans himself up and become the father his kids need and deserves. You can say a lot of things about him, but he truly seems to love his kids.

I think the question is how long Elliot and the Saga would be in business without a DC sponsorship.
Seems like the storyline of quite a lot of the Discovery/History channel shows is that the more useless you are, the greater the chance that someone shows up thinking that your expertise is just what is needed to make them rich. (eg would anyone here hire Bering Sea Gold's Steve Riedel or Scott Meisterheim?)

Now, let's be fair to Disco. Without screw-ups, breakdowns, "freaks" and animosity.. where's the "story"?

Well, we guess if he decides to attempt to push her out a window, she'll realize what a mistake she made and be another victim of domestic violence from EN. Oh, today he is trying to get the media to interview him while in Chicago...yeah, right. EN, your not Sig Hansen, in case you forget..!

So, now Discovery FB page ran an posting on EN and if fans think EN boat is the best on the show...NOT..! There was close too 2200+ comments on this post and 99% where all negative against EN....go figure. Now Disco FB has removed that posting on EN and his boat.....wonder why....!!! Last week, EN was trying desperately advertising himself while in Chicago...wanting to know if any of the big media wanted to do an interview with him.....not one of the big media corps wanted anything to do with him. Disco just doesnt get it...!

Can someone explain why with all of EN emotional narcotic personal behavior Disco still keeps him on because of "Drama" he brings. If I was on this reality scripted show, I would not behave the way he does nor would I act on national tv so people can see how immature I am...! EN, says, that's not him and that its all "scripted" to suite the network....really....people's perception of him will not change, is he that stupid to behave like that and "claim" its not him..!!!

I think Discovery is longing for the "Good Old Days" when diatribes regarding Keith Colburn's emotional/psychological/managerial "issues" could guarantee 3 or 4 pages of white-hot forum posts PER EPISODE. Now with Keith having somehow "mellowed" into becoming a respected spokes for the Fishery, who's left to generate that kind of fan passion... and "free" publicity? EN's comment makes one wonder if we're ever seen the "Real" Sig Hansen, Josh Harris, John Hillstrand, etc.....

I think that each year disco has a "good" and "bad" guy. The Harris brothers had their spell of "good" and Bad"(I mean before Jake's substance abuse problems). Jake A. also has had the same treatment as had Keith. I think Elliott has numerous problems but disco puts them front and center. Elliott is s big boy(appx.33) and knows how disco works. The show was on for many years before he ever signed up. He knew what he was getting into when he agreed to be on the show. Also, all those captains know disco and it's reputation. That's why so many of them, including Murray, refuse to have anything to do with them. Disco loves Elliott because he brings publicity and ratings. If you look at their FB board, they have had more comments on him than anyone(excluding Phil and his passing) than any other captain/boat since the show began 10 years ago. They show us want they want us to see, distorted, false or made up. They stopped being "real" by season 3 or 4. That's how disco and OP work with all their shows.

Oh, for the love of God! For Elliot of all people to claim scripting for his bad press. Disco did not script the restraining order the ex took out on him, they did not script the domestic violence police reports, and they did not script his problems with past drug use. Not to mention Disco did not create the various fishing fines he has accumulated. The only person to blame for Elliot's less than stellar image is Elliot.

Mari - Amen ! Like I said, Elliott knew what he was getting into and is his own worst enemy. His reputation was will known to disco and they just let him implode front and center.

Elliot represents what the other older captains might have been like in their early days. Think of insanity Phil Harris or the Hillstrands brought into their own 20s and 30s. Wild Bill didn't get his nickname in the last 5 years. EN is probably no different than other guys in this age group and that is one reason why he is on the show. It is just a natural progression that these guys mellow with age. We are getting to see (with a huge amount of editing) EN try and figure out his life while running a boat - almost all of the other captains have already pretty much figured it out.
