The drama on 'Deadliest Catch' (Tuesdays, 9Pm on the Discovery Channel) usually comes from the pressure the captains and crew are under to make a good haul and pay their bills, not the pressure of filming a reality show. But things got out of control on Tuesday's episode, when Captain Keith Colburn exploded at a cameraman, pushing him against a wall and screaming in his face.
Colburn was stressed, sitting at the helm ranting about running a three million dollar business that was two million dollars in debt. "I don't know why I [bleep!] deal with it," he said. That's when Colburn picked up the phone, snapped at cameraman Brad Carper, who wanted to talk to the producer, and then went after Carper, yelling at him about how he sleeps too much and never makes him coffee.

On tonight's (Tuesday, July19) episode of Discovery's "Deadliest Catch," Capt. Keith Colburn of the F/V Wizard blows his cool in dealing with a camera operator. In retrospect, he's upset at himself for that -- more or less.
"There's a composure that needs to be maintained as a captain," Colburn tells Zap2it. "I was thoroughly and utterly embarrassed at losing my composure.
"But, at the same time, you know what, I'm not. I'm not even close to being embarrassed. I am beside myself because, you know, I've had some of the best camera people on the planet on my boat. I mean, I can rattle off ten names, and they're amazing, amazing camera people.
"This year, I drew a complete kid knucklehead. You know what, arrogance and ignorance are a very bad combination for anybody in the Bering Sea."

The goal for crews on reality shows is usually not to become part of the story. That doesn't happen on the next episode of "Deadliest Catch."
The episode, which airs Tuesday (July 19), finds Wizard Capt. Keith Colburn going off on one of the show's cameramen, Brad Carper, when Carper calls looking for a producer. As narrator Mike Rowe intones, "Carper interrupts Keith at exactly the wrong time."
You can watch what happens next at TMZ: Colburn, who's on edge at the end of the opilio crab season, storms below deck to confront Carper, eventually shoving him down a hallway. "Don't you f***ing get in my face!" Colburn shouts, among other things.
The two men smoothed things over later, TMZ says. We suppose these things happen in a high-stress environment like that.
"Deadliest Catch" airs at 9 p.m. Et Tuesday on Discovery.

Keith lost his temper after the photog in question -- named Brad Carper -- called up to the wheelhouse looking for one of the show's producers, interrupting Keith at exactly the wrong time. Keith snapped. The fight, which airs next Tuesday on Discovery,...
