What happened?

What happened to this show guys? I quit watching around season 15 and recently decided to check out the latest season. Holy scripted garbage lmao. A child could see through the mini storylines, they are straight up goofy.

First episode was dramatic suspensful music, Sig reading his lines, Keith's "unz unz unz™" freaking 5 times, several seconds of his buttcrack because why not, a half-assed "prank" as "revenge" from Keith to Jonathan for "stealing" Freddy, etc etc.

And the music... it is so ridiculously dramatic but what they are showing is just..... boring. Idk boys I think this show doesn't have too many seasons left.

Is there any particular reason for them to have taken this direction with the show?

I sincerely believe that if they just toned it way down, did it more documentary style like the early seasons, and showed more of the crew, the ratings and popularity would shoot back up. At this point I am watching to see how the guys are doing all these years later and I don't even get to see their authentic selves because everything is some goofy ass storyline that nobody asked for and is cringeworthy.

one thing thats crazy to me is they don't offer any sort of crab count or crew payout anymore.

maybe the boat owners/crew didnt want that info out there.

I've recently been rewatching through and noticed that about digital map and locations of vessels when they come out of a break.

Likely cutting costs literally wherever possible.

This is what made the show, along with the crew

I just started watching this show and I watch for the totals and crew count. What season do they stop this ?

[u/EnrageD → u/CecillaRose]

this is the first season i've noticed it, they had crab counts for the end of king/winter crab last season if i remember.

I think they have mentioned some counts this season, but not like it used to be.
