Surprised they don't make them Walk The Plank instead

would be funnier, but it probably doesn't provide the soulful images of them floating off into the cold night all alone... except for the camera crew in the boat 6 feet away towing them.

Despite the inherent cheese, I like the show. It would be more interesting to me however if they shook up the rules a bit. Make a second ship and have two competing crews, allow one to ransack another's goods...
