I'm a big fan of the show. I told my wife that they could offer me $500,000 upfront and another $500,000 at the end of a season, and I'd not take it. I know for a fact that I couldn't/wouldn't cut the mustard for a single season.
When Sig gets shook up over a wave that hits his boat, I know something like that would make me curl up in a tight ball in the corner and start crying for my mommy.
