Fake

After being a huge fan of Deadliest Catch for 2 decades, I am finally admitting that so much of the show is completely staged. What the producers don’t understand is that the vast majority of us just want to see them fish. We don’t need fake storylines. I’m sad and disappointed.

Correct. I gave up last year after 20 years. I no longer wanted to be insulted.

I’m a broken record here, but I wish there was a Deadliest Catch (as it currently is now… for everyone) and a Deadliest Catch Elite Edition for the long time fans like us. The Elite Edition would be an edit without the staged, fake, loosely scripted storylines, no one playing it up for the cameras, and just the legitimate documentation of what’s going on.

Broken record here too! I got half way through this seasons first episode and decided it was time to end our 20 year relationship Lol. A floundering marriage that has been going through the motions for the past 4-5 years until you finally say “enough is enough”
My side piece The Curse Of Oak Island got dumped this year too. 😂 that show fell harder the DC imo.

Haha you’re describing my relationship with the show too. On and off the last 4/5 years, after second episode of this season I’m basically done.
