Ahoy, me hearties! Argh ye aware that CBS launching a new reality series May 31 titled "Pirate Master"? This show will air through the summer at 8 pm Thursdays. Here's the brief:
On "Pirate Master" 16 contestants will live aboard a 179-foot (well, actually the copy read "179-food" LOL), square-rigged barque (well, the mizzen mast on a barque isn't square-rigged but what the heck). Over the course of 33 days they'll live as buccaneers (first class, of course), traveling around a Caribbean island in search of a treasure totalling $1 million (which island?). Each episode will find the contestants gathering at a Pirate Court where they'll state their case and somebody will be cut adrift (walk the plank?).
Hopefully, there will be a core crew of real sailors to manage the barque or the whole series may be scuttled in the first episode.
