[URL="http://press.discovery.com/us/dsc/press-releases/2010/fv-cornelia-marie-sets-course-discoverys-deadl-916/"]That is the full statement[/URL] (minus the standard Discovery networks junk.)
Thanks. I still do not read it as ruling out other boats. The prior press release from 7 September 2010 though at least hints at a change in format since it says the Harris boys will be expanding their roles. Maybe they are going to just follow them on and off the boat, but it will be a totally different show if they are the only principal cast members. I am not so sure that kind of celebrity would be good for Jake if his issues are [I]serious[/I] issues. I like the idea of seeing more of Josh though--he is a funny guy.

I read it as:
"The Harris brothers are all we have it this time as the other captains are either being sued by us or boycotting production. We'd like more boats and might have more boats but we can only comment on what we've got today - and it's not looking good."
Sure that is likely the case, or the other boats are being kept secret for fear Sig & the Hillstrands may intimidate them from being on the show since those guys tend to be a confrontational. Not sure what is going on with Keith's boat. He seems like somebody who wouldn't pass up the chance since he is a me-oriented. Wonder if now they will blur out the other boats (Sig, etc) when they are at the docks--that would be annoying....at any rate, great to hear there will be a next season.

Looks like it will be the same show minus Capt. Phil

2/23/2011 10:40 AM PST by TMZ Staff
[B]"Deadliest Catch"[/B] crew member [B]Justin Tennison[/B] of the [B]F/V Time Bandit[/B] was found dead in a hotel yesterday ... and TMZ has learned cops discovered drugs and alcohol in the room.
Law enforcement officials in Homer, AK tell us they got a call at 12:52 PM yesterday reporting a deceased male at the Best Western Bidarka Inn. Upon arrival they found 33-year-old Tennison lying on a bed unresponsive.
We're told a search of the room -- which was registered to Justin -- turned up a small amount of marijuana, as well as several bottles of alcohol in the refrigerator. Cops tell us they believe there had been a party in the room the night before.
It's unknown if the booze and drugs played a role in Justin's death -- his body was transported to the State Medical Examiner ... and an autopsy is scheduled for later today.
Time Bandit captain [B]Andy Hillstrand[/B] posted on his [B][URL="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150108275166381&id=226426191380"]Facebook[/URL][/B] page that Justin had served as an engineer aboard the fishing boat during the offseasons -- and just joined the crew as a deckhand a few months ago for the crab season.
[QUOTE=SeanDaniel;243589]Just a reminder deadliest catch premiere is this Tuesday for those who may not have noticed.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. Set my DVR timer.
Watched the season premiere this week. Sucks that the Harris boys were unable to keep the Cornelia Marie but I guess that was an eventual trainwreck avoided in the end.

It did suck that they could not keep their Dad's boat, but I was surprised they even had a job. Jake better stay off the oxy as that is not going to fly on the Northwestern.
Josh has what it takes and I think he is there to make it.

Jake had been part of the Jake swap with the Northwestern so it doesn't surprise me he ended up there. Yeah the question is for how long.
I have trouble ever seeing Josh as a Captain, but he seems a hard worker.
Forgot to mention that I read online that pretty much all of the crab fleet got weathered out a couple times for a few weeks at a pop this year so I am not sure if that means it will be more or less interesting on the opies part of the season.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;303049]I think Blue crab could be the death of them all!
Besides, weather is what makes this show.[/QUOTE]
Well, except for the Northwestern.
I agree about the weather but sitting in port, not so exciting.....
This was the obvious outcome but still hard for the family I am certain. At least they have closure.
