"The captian always got 50% of the treasure, don't forget the captian usually owned the boat and neede a bigger cut for upkeep. the officers always got 50% of what was left. and the crew divided up what was left equally. do a little reading and you would see that a pirate always worked for the good of the ship, because with out a ship they wouldnt be pirates."

"i don't know about that ... when JD was elected it sure seemed like lemmings following suit. john could have been smarter and instead asked why vote for JD? it might have been smarter for him to counter the vote and vote for someone else. if everyone was afraid to vote for him cause he so blatantly won the challenge, then atleast make a vote based on intelligence and ask questions, not as lemmings (such a good word). there's no idea why JD was elected, it'd be nice if we knew why the lady elected JD ... was it cause there was a lull after the annoucement that they needed to vote? people that stopped for a moment to think might have asked, what does being the captain mean? would they have been told that the treasure was to be split in traditional fashion?

if we are to draw conclusions from the edited show we watched, then all i can say is that there appeared to be a group of sheep bleating, and 1 of those bleats just sounded like JD, and so the rest followed.

i re-iterate what i mentioned in a previous posting ... it is sure that John came off quite poorly but knowing that there's more team tasks ahead, i want him on my team! better chance of winning!"
