Matt Bradley Northwestern Is He High Or Just A Horn Dog?

It sounds like this separation is getting UGLY! As they unfortunately often do. It is such a shame especially with kids involved. Does no one stay married anymore? I don't understand why people don't work harder on their marriages. If you make the commitment you should be all in, not up and leave at the first opportunity.

My oh my. I think Angela hit the anger stage of grief today. Boy did she let her rip. Who can blame her?

Deadliest Catch - After The Catch In Hawaii And Other Updates

The Captains are in Hawaii, well some of them anyway. I just saw a notice from Discovery that they are filming After The Catch in Hawaii. There was a short clip with Keith Colburn, Sig Hansen, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand. No words just them in a little boat. The caption also said they think Jake Harris, Josh Harris, Derrick Ray and Tony Lara are coming as well.  YouTube Video There was no mention of Wild Bill, Scott Campbell, or Elliot Neese. So I don't know about them. Hummm.

Matt Bradley On Northwestern - What Is He Addicted To?

After Tuesday's episode of Deadliest Catch. I was looking at what people were searching regarding the show.

I was rather surprised to see that people were searching "What drug is Matt Bradley addicted to" and What is Edgar Hansen addicted to". People this is a little twisted I think. Why aren't people searching is Matt Bradley okay, or is he sober? The same thing happened with Jake Harris. Maybe it's me but this just seems odd. I mean the curiosity of what drug he is taking, I don't really get that. I mean to me a drug is a drug. Does it really matter which one he likes? Please someone explain to me the curiosity of why people want to know what drug. What am I missing?

While I don't get it, because so many of you were looking I set out to see what I could find and I still almost didn't post the information, because it is very disturbing. But I finally decided that the information I found was posted on public forums, so they had to know it was going to get circulated and discussed. So here goes.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 8 Recap Graduation Day

"Graduation Day"

We start out with the Seabrooke. The seas look awfully calm from the aerial view. What beautiful shots. 

A 1200 hundred mile wide Arctic Hurricane is headed for the Blue Crab grounds and in 19 hours will cover the Red Crab grounds. Well I guess the shots above where the calm before the storm.

Russian King Crab Stolen - Deadliest Catch

This really doesn't have to do with Deadliest Catch, but it is about Russian King Crab and I found it interesting. So I thought I would share.

I just read an article about that a trucker who went to Los Angeles and picked up 25,000 pounds of Russian King Crab worth $400,000 for delivery in Seattle on Monday. Then he just disappeared.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 7 Recap Thick As Thieves

"Thick As Thieves"

Well this week was a very interesting and frustrating episode.  I am a person that tries to look at both sides of a situation, and this episode had my head going like a ping pong ball.

We start off with a clip of Freddie Maughtai saying this boat will never be the same, and the policeman is approaching the Cornelia Marie.

The Cornelia Marie is headed back into town. Captain Derrick Ray says he tried to bring a different culture to the boat, but they don't want things to change, they want things the way they were. Well yeah, I don't think they asked you to change the boat, they asked you to Captain the boat. Derrick says he knows there is dope on this boat, he just can't prove it. No there's not they smoked it all. Derrick says its zero tolerance with drugs, the coast guard could take the boat and keep it; they don't even have to give it back with a fine if they don't want too. He says he could lose his license he could go to jail over this. I don't believe that is an entirely true statement. I'll elaborate more after the episode. 

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 6 Recap

"Exit Wounds"

What the heck the show cut off early had to record it twice to get the ending of the show.

When we left off last week Lynn Guitard had fallen asleep at the wheel of the Wizard. We start this week with Lynn sleeping and Captain Keith waking him up. He yells at him for a little bit and then says "I've been there". Wow I don't know what I was expecting, but I was expecting so much more than that. Captain Keith didn't even hardly yell at him. Must be because he hadn't had coffee yet.  I mean did the boat roll and Captain Keith get thrown out of bed? What woke him up? Was it just time for Captain Keith's watch again? Just expecting something more there. 

Josh Harris Girlfriend Quite A Sweetie - Deadliest Catch

Yes ladies, Josh Harris of Deadliest Catch has a new girlfriend. I started seeing questions regarding his girlfriend, and then she showed up on Twitter. So I went looking to see what I could find.

Someone evidently gave Josh Harris a trip to the Playboy Mansion for a birthday present. While on the trip he found himself a 22 year old Playboy model named Heather Johansen.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 5 Recap

"A Wing And A Prayer"

A very interesting episode to say the least.

We get to see the Northwestern. Yea! We will get to see if Jake Anderson caught any crab on the string he set. Oh no the boat has lost all power and is headed for the dock. Edgar Hansen to the rescue! Edgar can't leave, what would they do without him? Where was Nick? Why wasn't he down in the engine room helping? Edgar says this season is going to be legendary. That kind of concerns me. When they first lost power Captain Sig Hansen screamed Edgar drop the anchor, but Edgar went to the engine room and started the backup generator. Captain Sig Hansen is going on about nobody was going to set the anchor, that if Jake Anderson wants to be a Captain he can't just wait for somebody else to handle it. Looked to me like Jake Anderson was doing something he had that big ole rope he was putting up.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 4 Recap Breaking Point

Here we go episode 4. "Breaking Point" I hope we see some Hillstrands, Hansens and Wild Bill.

We start off with the Seabrooke. Getting ready to leave the dock. Captain Scott Campbell, Jr. aka Junior has a replacement arriving for Kyle Babb. A new greenhorn named Josh Fullmer. He'll still be down one man because Bob Perky is on an 8 week leave.

The new greenhorn is all cocky and talking a big game. Usually a sign he won't last long. Josh Fullmer seems like a nice enough guy. I think I'd be scared to wear that lip ring on a crab boat though, how many different things could get a hold of that and rip it out, like a crab. OWWW!

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 3 Recap

"Old Age and Treachery"

We start out with fisherman having flashbacks and making comments.

Jake Harris - I sometimes fall asleep and start dreaming about work. They show a picture of Jake Harris.

Captain Keith of the Wizard - I have dreams that are too close and too eerie, the way they are connected with the boat.

Jake Harris - Then all of a sudden you wake up and you don't know where you are. You don't know what day it is then all of a sudden you're like f**k I'm in the Bering sea.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 2 Recap

On the last episode I only did a partial recap, because I thought Discovery replayed the episodes on their website. I have since discovered they don't. So for my mates in Australia and those of you who missed or can't get the show I will do full recaps.

To start off with let me say how excited I am last weeks episode of Deadliest Catch had ten million viewers. I think the boycotting of ABC of helped. I saw comments people were watching Deadliest Catch instead of Dancing With The Stars, and since Dancing With The Stars rating were down by 13%, I say welcome all my soap fans and thank you for supporting the soaps. You've found a great show!

Jake Harris and Jake Anderson Appear On Dr. Drew About Their Addiction - Deadliest Catch

Dr. Drew introduces the two Jake's. Jake Harris has an addiction with opiates and oxycontin. Jake Anderson has an addiction to alcohol.

Dr. Drew talks about how they both lost their father.

Deadliest Catch 2011 Matt Bradley Drug Rehab Rumors Northwestern

I have still been trying to confirm or deny the rumors that Matt Bradley is missing from the Northwestern at the beginning of Season 7 because he is in rehab.

I have found two forums with statements that Matt Bradley was in rehab. One stated no source the other stated that it was on his facebook page and that his wife had posted it on the Northwestern's website. I went through Matt's facebook page and did not see anything of the kind. I also went through all of Angela's forum post's and the only thing I found was her discussing Matt's recovery in 2006. Nothing current about Matt being in rehab. While it is possibly true that he is in rehab, it still appears to be just a rumor, which is really a crappy rumor if Matt is indeed clean. In Season 6 when Jake Anderson received his cupcake for being sober six months, Edgar said Matt Bradley had been sober 18 months. I really and truly hope he has stayed sober.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 1

Yea!!!! It's finally here. 

If your not caught up with some of the stuff that happened in the off season look to the right for the Deadliest Catch link for previous posts.

The show starts off with a memorial to Captain Phil Harris. I really wanted to see them trying to get the stuck urn open. They laughed so hard about it at CatchCon, I really thought we'd get to see it.  That man is certainly missed by a lot of people.

The King Crab season begins! Wow has Jake Anderson been promoted? He's in the wheelhouse with Captain Sig Hansen deciding where to go crabbing. Go Jake!

All the Captains are mapping out their routes. I'm ready for the biting off the head of the herring.

Jake & Josh Harris Cornelia Marie Deadliest Catch People Magazine

I just ran across some information on Jake and Josh Harris of the Cornelia Marie in an article in People Magazine. I don't know when the article was published, but it had some interesting tidbits I thought I would share.

Jake did make it into rehab, shortly after the DUI incident for addiction to prescription pain medication, which he said he took because of sport and fishing injuries.  He spent a month and a half in rehab. Like I said I don't know when the article was published so I don't know how this times out with the Captain of the Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray, calling the police on Jake in November 2010.  (Can find more on Derrick Ray incident in previous post)

While Jake was working on recovery, Josh was working on keeping the Cornelia Marie running. When Josh was finally able to take a break and grieve for his father, he said he had a nervous breakdown. Said his emotions were all over the place, even seeing a dog wagging its tail on TV would make him cry. He spent three weeks driving around Florida to clear his head.

Deadliest Catch 7 - 2011 - Hillstrands and Hansens Return

There is news here but I don't think any of it is real spoilers... so safe to read.

Some of you may have heard there was a legal dispute between Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand with The Discovery Channel, and they were not returning to the show.

Well here's the scoop. In October, 2010 it was reported that The Discovery Channel sued the Hillstrands for $3 million for failing to finish work on a spin off show called "Hillstranded".  The Hillstrands counter sued saying that the lawsuit would force them to sell their boat, so they quit the show. To show support of the Hillstrands, Sig Hansen also quit the show. Go Sig!
