A Deal With The Devil
Broadcast date: 13 December
Broadcaster: SABC2

Stacking the Deck - The Triad Cuts Joe Don Adrift
The triad of Azmyth, Ben and Jay continues to grow stronger as they relax and eat hearty breakfasts while the rest of the crew starves and works endlessly right before the Expedition.

Even though both crews are neck and neck throughout the Expedition, the Black Crew wins again, putting the triad back in power.

With Pirates' Court looming, the crew must choose whether to keep the strong Joe Don, who could be their last chance at removing Azmyth from the Captain's seat, or the likeable Louie, who has formed a close bond with the women on the ship.

When the ballots are collected, it is Joe Don who has received the most. After a final kiss from Nessa, he is cut adrift.

"I really felt like I played the game the way I really wanted to play the game," Joe Don explains as he floats out to sea. "I'm gonna miss Nessa. She's a sweet little girl, man. She's cool. And I hope she goes a long ways in this game. I hope she goes a long ways."

Win or Die Trying
After another Pirates' Court, Captain Azmyth and his Officers, Ben and Jay, return to the Captain's Cabin.

"The three of us, the triad are feeling well rested, well fed and we have another Expedition coming up," Azmyth points out. "And I feel that fate has already sealed and signed our destiny. The Black Crew shall triumph."

Meanwhile, below deck, Joe Don doesn't share Azmyth's beliefs "There's gotta be new blood," he explains. "I'm gonna hang myself if I don't get a win tomorrow, man. It's gonna be tough, but I'm gonna die trying."

A Grueling Morning
The next morning, the crew of the Picton Castle lines up outside the galley to receive their cup of gruel, which is all they will have to eat until the late evening.

Azmyth then calls the crew over to give them a list of duties that must be accomplished before the Expedition. Nessa can barely hide her contempt. "Captain Azmyth is definitely number one on my list," she proclaims. "I'm itching to get him out of here."

Nessa's alliance loses the Expedition and Joe Don hangs himself, leaving with $22,100.
