Pirate Master Media Mentions!
TexasLady:
Personally I thought when John took the compasses, he showed that he was unscrupulous. (Well that isn't a bad trait for a pirate master I suppose.) However it blew the other's minds and I think that is why the kicked off the ship. I don't know about the dominate/subservient mind set. :pirates1

The whole dominant thing comes mostly from the Stanford Prison Experiment : a psychology experiment from the 70's which put students in the role of either prisoners or guards--and within 2 days the students nearly completely bought into their assigned roles, either becoming a subservient prisoner or, in some cases, a power wielding abusive guard. There is a lot of speculation that JD has bought waaay too much into the "power" trip role of the Captain, a la the Stanford Prison Experiment.
But the whole fun of this IS going to see the pirates really "play" into this, as John alluded to in that interview. Now I'm kind of sorry that he went so early because he probably would have been great fun to watch and see what he stirred up. This is different from TAR or from Survivor in that they DO have to act with their role as well as use their inter-personal skills to get along--so thus may get even more interesting as the weeks go by!
I like the image of whoever said this is much more like Big Brother house done in Pirate costumes/roles than like TAR or Survivor.
TexasLady:
Now that you mention it, I did read about Stanford prison experiment and it was frightening to me because of the way it impacted the participants. Taken in this light, it will be interesting to see if they keep JD. (Will the producers like that?) :kogsey

It even has a picture of John he made with watercolors. Very nice artwork, for a watercolor painting.
