CBS Reveals The Identities Its 'Pirate Master' Buccaneer Wannabes
CBS has revealed the identities of the 16 buccaneer wannabes who will compete in Pirate Master, a new swashbuckling reality series created by Mark Burnett that is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, May 31 at 8PM ET/PT.
Pirate Master will follow the 16 contestants as they spend 33 days traveling around the Caribbean island nation of Dominica in search of hidden treasure that will total $1 million. When they're not busy embarking on quests to decipher various hidden treasure clues, they'll live on the 179-foot, square-rigged barque that will also serve as their main form of plundering transportation.
One pirate will become the captain of the ship and will assign roles and chores to the remaining crew members, establishing a hierarchy that could lead to mutiny.
All of the contestants that help find each treasure will receive a share of the gold coins found, however like a true pirate ship, the captain and his officers will end up with more than their equal shares, leaving the rest of the pirates to split the remaining scraps.
Each episode will conclude with Pirate's Court, a Survivor Tribal Council-like event that will see one individual 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."
Pirate Master's cast consists of eight men and eight women who range in age from 21 to 45-years-old. Hailing from Alaska to Massachusetts and several locations in-between, cast members come from various walks of life, boasting credentials in everything from glass blowing and smoke jumping to law and music, and even features a Chippendale Dancer as well as an ex-NFL player.
The 16 contestants competing in Pirate Master -- who will also be dressed in period costumes -- are:
