It was an eventful episode of Pirate Master this evening.

During the challenge, the red crew discovered the treasure before the black crew did, meaning that sometimes-accented captain Azmyth was unseated. The winning red crew unanimously elected local contestant Louie Frase the new captain, but he wasn't that excited about it.

However, he did make it his mission to get rid of the first captain, Joe Don, who angered him with his unequal treatment and division of money. But there was a twist: a pardon that could be won in a secret auction and save the winner. Joe Don won it but didn't need it -- his right-hand woman Cheryl was "cut adrift" instead.

I think a lot of people like Louie but weren't charmed by his vendetta. If he loses his captain's hat, I don't think he'll be too upset about it, but if he upsets too many people, he could be at risk for getting sent home.
