Yuku free message boards

Hi everyone. I just wanted to sincerely thank you all for continuing to be interested in Pirate Master after the show was taken off the air. I read the entire board while the show was airing and although at times I found it hard to deal with, other times it made me laugh and even smile. I appreciate all of your posts and your ongoing like/dislike of the show. Just curious...someone wrote that there was a problem with my backstory. What do you mean?

Again, you are all appreciated.

CAPTAIN SWEETBEARD

I loved it of course. A lot of people gave me flack for keeping Jay the week Laurel was ousted and then after the tie, Ben. I can't explain it, but I honestly made all of my decisions with my heart. I talked with Ben and Jay the most on the ship and I felt that they were my closest friends. I REALIZE that this is not the way a PIRATE show should be played, but that is the way I chose to play. Had it been a vote...I would be a richer woman. We weren't told how it was going to end, although we all did assume that it would be a treausure hunt. I would never second guess myself because I made the best decisions that I could think of at the time and I am glad for keeping Ben and Jay.

Here is the John story:

John and I talked a lot during episode 1. I thought he was odd, but brilliant. I thought he had some good ideas and was the best "pirate". I voted for him to leave only because it seemed like it was going to be unanimous and I wasn't willing to stick my neck out and go against the group so early. I told John that I believed he should stay and that I thought he was a strong player. That conversation, I guess, is what made him so devoted to my winning. Further, people go back to the sequested area and talk about the game, so I guess that he developed his opinion there as well. I chose him because I wanted to choose people who were devoted to my winning the most. I nearly picked Joe Don, but my heart told me that John deserved another chance and I felt that Joe Don left with enough money already and John did not. I realize John then agreed to run on my crew for nothing, but that wasn't anticipated. Thanks to John and Jay, I was able to offer Nessa a ton of money. Nessa most likely would have gone on my crew anyway, but who knows. I felt like Nessa got ripped off a little, so that was my way of repaying her.

) Did the boat really go anywhere or did you just travel in circles in the general filming location like it seemed?

It sailed around the island,of course. We actually did sailing, but there were people to teach us what to do. We sailed some days more than others.

2) Was Azmyth really that hated during his reign as captain and if so, why did Jay and Ben get off scot free?

At first everyone liked Az, but then I think people got tired of him winning and winning and winning. Ben did a good job of staying positive even when he was always an officer. Jay--no on had the balls to take him out!!! I wanted him to stay, though.

3) I figured once a woman became captain, it would be girl power + Louie til the end, but the new triad was formed with you in place of Azmyth. Did you always like Jay and Ben or were you just more comfortable keeping the strong people in to keep the heat off you?

I was working with Jay since the first day. Everyone thought that they were with Jay, but I actually was. The bond over our families was strong and it was real. We talked about our families a lot. He is a nice person who loves his wife and kids dearly. I was working with Jay and then Ben just kind of was with us. I am not sure how that happened. Smart by Ben! SMART!!! I never considered an all girls thing because it was Jay and I till then end as far as I was concerned. Did you regret that afterwards considering the outcome? I didn't have any regrets. I played with my heart.

4) Was Joe Don as awesome as he seemed?

I didn't get to know Joe Don well at all. When he was Captain, he was not really talking to anyone and then I was too mad at him to give him a chance. We butted heads a bit, but I do think he is awesome now. Episode 8 made me find him funny and endearing.

5) What are your thoughts on the beautiful Laurel? Was she truly as lonerish as she seemed, and will you help contribute money to the "Buy Laurel a home fund?"

I don't feel like I know Laurel very well at all. We didn't talk much. I was very busy playing the game and she never wanted to talk about it. She was always kind to me. On Tv, I saw a whole new side of Laurel. I think she is fantastic. I think Laurel likes her whole van thing...

6) How were you contacted for the show, and did you know about this board beforehand by being a fan of other reality tv and such?

I applied just like a regular person. I did find that a lot of people are recruited for reality tv. I didn't know that before. I never even knew about these kinds of message boards before and at first I was ALARMED by the negativity.

I have to answer the rest later. It is getting late for me....
