Fierce Allegiance

The series premiere of America’ Toughest Jobs takes the 13 contestants to Dutch Harbor Alaska to work theBering Seas aboard a crab boat, which happens to be the world most dangerous job (ala Deadliest Catch). Many of the contestants are leaving behind jobs sitting behind desks for the grim reality of just how tough this other world can be. Bering Sea crabbers face an almost 100% injury rate as well as grim statistics about the number of lives lost at sea. Freezing cold conditions and long work loads can take their toll on even some of the world’s toughest. After a brief introduction the contestants will be expected to perform all of the various work duties done at sea by a greenhorn or junior deckhand. These include grinding bait, baiting the pots, launching and then after soaking for some time they will need to be hauled back aboard, the crab sorted and then the 800 pound pots will have to be stacked. The four worst performers will return for addition 2 days aboard the boat until the weakest contestant is eliminated.
