Black Gold on trutv...
Did anyone catch it last night? Another job I would not to do!!  What a dirty and dangerous job that is! That new Viking rig is not doing so well is it? Just like a car, you should never buy it the first year it is out! Too many bugs in the system. That dude who owns two out of the three rigs is a pretty safe bet that one of his rigs will win wouldn't you say?
Nice to see that oil production is starting up again in West Texas. When I was down there in the 80's most all the oil wells I saw were capped off and not working anymore. It's about time. 
Speaking of oil, has anyone else heard that Mobile/Exxon is selling off at the corporate level? I was told that yesterday and I was amazed. I wonder who/which country will buy it if what I was told is true. I wonder who ownes it now...at the bottom line. |

The crew on what, Big Dog or Viking had to work a double? That means if you have to work a double, you actually end up working a triple?? That is not very saftey consious(sp). How could anyone work 24 hours straight and not have an accident? Did you see how that rigger almost fell trying to fix something? I thought he got hit in the head with something then too. Great show. |

well, like they said they don't make any money if there not drilling. look at deadliest catch, those guys stay up for 24 to 36 hours straight. i don't think that little guy peanut is going to make it as a rigger. he's been screwing up to much. i know one thing, that is one job i would not want. it seems like it's going to be a good show.

You can watch the re-run in HD on one of the other stations, but I forget which one.

Peanut is a slacker. He is a new dad and too immature to be a team player. He is putting himself ahead of the job and that don't cut it in the real world. This is NOT a union job where you can slack off and stay employed. I'm surprised they don't have a truck full of "daylaborers" available on standby to help with some of the menial chores when someone does not show up for work.
