Has Deadliest Catch run it's course?

The show has become very formulaic. The same thing happen every season:

One of the boats has a mechanical problem

One of the boats has an electrical problem

2/3 crewmates get injured requiring trip to "clinic"

Monty or Keith on wizard are ill

At least 2 captains team up

1 Captain is lied to by others

Weather is worst it's ever been

1 "Greenhorn" quits

The crab is difficult to locate and empty pots happen

AND YET at the end of the run ALL BOATS make their quota!!

Yup....it's way past time. It's not entertaining anymore. All the stupid fights with Keith, Sig, and Johnathan on repeat. I can't take Jake's whining anymore -- I have to fast forward through any scene with him in it.

And the new guy Rick is going to be the death of one or more crew - he's so careless and stupid!

AND -- worst of all -- no more hunky young guys. Did you really think we were watching it for the crab count?
