Big Break Disney – Gipper “flyswatter” Finau finally kills his bug

Well, a number of people will be pretty disappointed this week watching Andrew Giuliani exit stage left on the Big Break Disney. And, you may be surprised to learn that I am one of those people. I know, I know… some of you think I don’t like him, but that’s not true. I can’t dislike someone I don’t know. All …

Big Break Disney – “Hothead” heads home

This week, we watched one of the most passionate, emotional, entertaining, vocal (and dare I say, controversial) contestants The Big Break has ever seen ‘calmly’ exit the series. Okay, maybe not all that calmly – maybe the Happy Gilmore swack at the ball on the green was a tiny bit over the top, but that was pretty tame for Blake, …

Big Break Disney loses a champion

Since the day I read the Big Break Disney announcement about this season’s contestants I was absolutely certain Vincent Johnson, the first recipient of the Charlie Sifford Exemption at the 2009 Northern Trust Open, would be the winner. And I was right. Vincent is a winner. The Big Break lost. The wrong person went home. Vincent has game, talent, attitude, …

Big Break Disney 5: From sad to sensational

Well…I don’t know about you, but for me this week’s Big Break was one sad experience after another, starting with the first immunity challenge. Not one of the players came to that challenge with their A game/shot. No wonder they asked for “do over”. Sure, Tony and Gipper got two points and won immunity and deserve congratulations, but that was …

Big Break Disney 4: Sean rides the Disney rollercoaster to elimination

This was probably one of the most nerve racking Big Breaks for me in a long time. While the guys were playing flop shots, my stomach was doing flip/flops as I watched Kevin and Blake inch their way towards elimination. But thankfully they both survived to live another day. Whew! Unfortunately Sean’s luck ran out today as he slowly chipped …

Big Break Disney 3 – “Skip to my Lou” Kmax gets dunked

It was one of those happy/sad episodes for me on Big Break Disney this week. First I was really happy that Kevin Erdman escaped his second elimination challenge (Although I think he’s trying to give me a heart attack!), but I was sad to see Kevan Maxwell, better known as KMAX, leave this week’s show. If ever someone needed a …

Big Break Disney 2 – The curtain falls for Andreas

They say in show business, “Break a Leg” instead of “Good Luck” because superstitious actors believe that saying “Good Luck” will only bring them bad. I wonder if maybe someone whispered those two deadly words in Andreas’s ear as he headed into day 2 of Big Break Disney. The son of actress Susan Lucci certainly didn’t win any Emmys’ or …

Big Break Disney 1 – Ed couldn’t quite do it

Finally, after months of waiting, Big Break Disney is finally here! Is it what you’ve been waiting for? I certainly found myself glued to the TV tonight. And as always, there were some surprises waiting for me. It was great that the Golf Channel started the competition off with some serious competition. That first immunity challenge was quite the opening, …
