Discovery seems to be trying to finesse this, and I can understand why.  Deadliest Catch is popular because it has a reputation as a real recounting of the lives of Alaskan crab fishermen.  There aren't a lot of shows that offer exciting real life events like Deadliest Catch, and there is obviously a taste for this sort of show.

It isn't the first time Discovery has gotten in trouble over accusations of fudging on the authenticity of their shows.  Man Vs. Wild, another Discovery show received similar criticism a few years ago.
