Hillstrands, Sig Leaving Deadliest Catch

[skatingtripods]

Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand have bigger fish to fry now.

The Deadliest Catch stars and captains of the deep-sea power scow Time Bandit, announced Tuesday that they're leaving the hit series after being sued for breach-of-contract by the Discovery Channel.

And they're taking fan favorite Sig Hansen, captain of the Northwestern, along with them.

"We have been through a lot over the past year and unfortunately given the current situation with Discovery we are unable to continue participating in Deadliest Catch," the three crab fishermen said in a joint written statement, first obtained by the Hollywood Reporter.

So much for watching this show. I can't stand Keith on the Wizard, the Cornelia will be a lot different without Phil. I can't see them salvaging the show.

I agree...was hoping that Keith suffered enough brain damage when his head got hit while he was diving a few years ago that he'd be off the show...complete dick.

Unless Sig and the Hillstrands get back on, it won't be worth watching.

Keith was the only cat who really "Hollywooded" it up for the cameras. Total douchebag.

So, really, they've lost everyone that drew anyone to the show.

LP overboard.
