Deadliest Catch Captains, Including Sig, Quit the Show Over Lawsuit

E! Online

Yikes! I'll miss Sig, but I'm glad the knucklehead brothers are leaving. To be honest, I don't expect this spat will last long since there is big money to be made. We shall see...

Wow, hope they work this out. I will miss Sig for sure.

If this holds, Ill not be watching again, which is sad because Ive been there since the get go.

I'll probably give it a shot. This isn't the first cast change they have made (anyone else remember the Maverick?). But I agree, this is a big loss if Sig doesn't come back.

Of course, this was going to happen:


Deadliest Catch Captains May Return To Show After All

Seriously, the Hillstrand brothers just need to honor their contract and do the work (I really don't understand what the big deal is in the first place) and Sig would be foolish to pass-up the money for something he does for a living already.

The biggest question (in my mind) is whether Sig's brother returns to the show next season?

Whole thing strikes me the same as one of those WWE 'fueds'

Of course they were going to return. Of course there needs to be drama. If it were my show, I would be worried about ratings after losing Phil, and how better than to manufacture controversy.

This is the point where I generally find something better to do with my time.
