'Deadliest Catch' Season 16 Episode 16: Taylor gets injured, fans say burning the 'bad luck' shirt didn't work
This week's episode of 'Deadliest Catch' was titled 'Bering Sea Wrecking Ball', and there's no doubt why it was named so after watching the episode. For the most part, it was a grueling one, with the crew members suffering injuries as they struggled to repair a slack tank before it kills the crab or capsizes the Saga in entirety.
There were possible concussions and perhaps a case of stitches. Nevertheless, the episode ended on a high as they all got to celebrate with some crab because let's face it, nothing can make you forget about the dangers of the sea like some good tasty crabs, isn't that right? The smiles on everyone's faces at the end of the episode is a testament to this statement.
Nevertheless, it was a nerve-wracking episode and fans were on edge for the most of it. There was much praise for Captain Casey McManus for his expert steering of the boat. "@McManus_Casey@JoshHarrisDC my boys are ON THE CRAB!! & I LOVE THOSE S**T EATIN GRINS ON THEM !!!#getemboys#winnerwinnercrabdinner@DeadliestCatch #deadliestcatch," a fan tweeted.
"You can't just be a boat Captain. You have to be a skilled engineer as well! #DeadliestCatch@DeadliestCatch@JakeVAnderson," a fan tweeted. "Say what you will but @McManus_Casey is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to boat maintenance, injuries, finding crab, crew management, being a mentor, finding a fix, delivering jokes, makin bets, tossin puns, being a buddy @DeadliestCatch #deadliestcatch," another wrote. "Lord bless us with some crab," another wrote.
Others expressed concern for Taylor and his injuries. "Poor Taylor. He gets hurt every time he’s on that boat. I guess burning his shirt didn’t work. #DeadliestCatch," another wrote. "Worried about Taylor having a concussion," another wrote. Two years ago, Taylor's shirt was burned as the crew considered it bad luck for all the mishaps.
Meanwhile, Nick McGlashan suffered a nose injury, which could result in possible stitches. "Nick takes a hit to the nose & Clay takes a pot punch," a fan summarised. "Ouch !!! @NickMcglashan that looked painful," tweeted another. Others noted that Captain Bill Wichrowsky does not have great luck with his crew. "Damn! @captwildbill just does not have good luck with crew does he? Either it's a jackass who causes problems, someone with a crippling injury, or just plain crew incompetence. #DeadliestCatch," a fan wrote.
Well, the good news is that they got crabs at the end of this episode. The bad news is, they might need treatment. 'Deadliest Catch' airs on Discovery Channel on Tuesdays at 9 pm.
