As a dedicated fan of “Deadliest Catch,” I can’t help but feel a mix of disappointment and confusion after watching Season 20, Episode 5. The long-standing rivalry between Jake Anderson and Sig Hansen took an unexpected turn in this episode when Sig allegedly moved Jake’s crab pots 50 miles out of their original location.
Contains spoilers for “Deadliest Catch” Season 20, Episode 5 — “Twice Bitten, Twice Shy”
In the episode “Twice Bitten, Twice Shy,” Jake Anderson finds himself in a predicament with Sig Hansen. Jake has taken control of his own ship once more, but Sig, a seasoned veteran from “Deadliest Catch,” suspects that Jake has obtained valuable crabbing coordinates from his old charts. Although these coordinates are quite old, dating back to the mid-2000s, Sig decides to teach Jake a lesson. He executes this plan by pilfering Titan Explorer’s crabbing pots and relocating them 50 miles off course.
Jake discovers Sig’s plan for revenge not long after, and he lets loose a barrage of insults over the ship-to-ship radio. However, upon returning to collect his pots, Jake is surprised to find a prosperous area where Sig had sunk them. Overflowing with crabs, the captains reluctantly reconcile. Nevertheless, some readers are left wondering if the entire incident was fabricated.
In simpler terms, u/kevrunner1962 expressed confusion over Sig apparently having enough time to relocate Jake’s pots despite previously mentioning a tight deadline for his own quota. u/R34ct0rX99 suggested they were collaborating and Sig deceitfully moved the gear. Both users, along with other viewers, criticized this plot development as unrealistic and contrived. u/Low-Pumpkin6312 added that the Sig/Jake storyline was becoming repetitive and staged.
Audiences also have their doubts about this season’s crab derby
Many devoted fans of “Deadliest Catch” questioned the authenticity of the crabbing deadline portrayed in the recent episode. A user on the show’s subreddit expressed their skepticism, pointing out that it wasn’t only the manipulation of crab pots that raised concerns. avid viewers of “Deadliest Catch” are well aware that Sig Hansen is a straightforward person and would never behave in such an impractical manner. u/SixRavenX remarked sarcastically, “Yeah sure Discovery, I buy it that Sig would delay the ‘Derby’ (which, let’s be honest, is not a derby at all this season given that the quota system remains unchanged and bears no resemblance to an actual derby) for hours just to mess around with Jake.” They further ridiculed the map situation and criticized the melodramatic storyline.
u/pointy_panda expressed their frustration with the contrived actions concerning Sig and Northwestern on the show. Another user, u/Professional_Menu408, added a relevant observation: “This year’s red crab season lasted just five days.” (In simple terms, pointy_panda was annoyed by the fake drama surrounding Sig and Northwestern, while Professional_Menu408 mentioned that the actual red crab season was very short.)
As a longtime fan of “Deadliest Catch,” I have witnessed the highs and lows of the crab fishing industry through the lens of this gripping television show. The drama between Sig Hansen and Jake Anderson has been a rollercoaster ride, leaving me on the edge of my seat week after week.
