Anybody think the Discovery Channel executives give a damn about the Deadliest Catch crab guys? Indications are that they get paid about $1,000 per episode. Even though one of the "stars" was found dead in a hotel room from unknown causes and others arrested on various charges from drugs to robbery the program is still a cash cow for Discovery and it was renewed for another season. There will always be other young guys willing to take risks in front of the camera and be a "star" for a little while.
