Pirate Master was a short-lived realty competition series that features sixteen contestants competing as real-life pirates on a quest for gold.
Premise[]
Each week, the pirates will embark on an extraordinary expeditions where they will decipher clues along the way in search of missing treasure. Gold coins - real money which the pirates may take with them beyond the show will be awarded after each expedition, but only to some. The gold will play a key role as pirates strike deals with each other or plead for long-term security. In addition to claiming the lion's share of the week's riches, one pirate will become the captain of the ship and will assign roles and chores to the remaining crew members, setting the tone for either law and order or betrayal and sabotage, which could lead to munity by the crew. Each episode will conclude on the ship at Pirate's Court, a lively gathering of public speaking and judgement where one individual will be eliminated and "cut adrift". In the end, one will be the first to find the largest booty worth $500,000 and claim the title of "Pirate Master".
