The thing I don't get is why pull these antics while on the tv show?  If he wasn't on the show he could cry the "he said/she said BS", but this is being recorded and aired on a television show for people (especially other ship captains) to see.  He is going to need sometime to repair any reputation damage done for future seasons, unless this is ordinary protocol.
		
		
	 
That.  Plus the fact that Jake on the NW happens to have a great opportunity to run a boat and goes down in a blaze taking swings at Matt kicking him off the NW.  Seems to me that there is a lot of produced drama built into the entire season.
		
 
		
	 
I don't think it is "produced" as much as "It happens".. You go without sleep for 20+ hours, working non-stop, and stuck in confined area with the same people. Sooner or later you are going to go off on a
Happens every year.. But most to go to like Jake.. Then his  "I'm under stress because I was offered another job".. ummmm, what?? Getting offered the opportunity you've been dreaming of is "stress"?
