BB is the master, I think the whole drama will pass in due time.

Andrew may not be the easiest guy to warm up to if you're in the BB with him, but come on..... He's not that bad! Blake looks like a complete idiot who can't handle any pressure when he reacts the way he does. He's probably a pretty good player, but grow up and buck up - just get the job done. And this stuff of ganging up on someone is childish. If BB doesn't get any better than this it will be short lived.

It sure goes to show how the pressure gets to people. How many of my guy friends think they would do SO much better than the competitors on air.

Ha! I'd like to see them try! I hope the best for all players, and that is that each can play their best when they need it!

Thanks for your thoughtful review!

Cheers!

I can't STAND that Giulliani douchebag. He even has a smirk on his face like "Just you wait". Sorry dude, but you got kicked off the Duke team for A- not being good enough and B- being an assbag. Then you got your daddy and his lawyers involved, and STILL couldn't get reinstated. Now, you're on BB.

It's funny; you can tell the ones that are afraid because they have to try and rile the other guy(s) up. "Getting in their head", they say. If someone is good enough, they wouldn't need to do that (see Vincent, Tony and Gipper).

I hope he gets eliminated soon- maybe I'll start paying more attention.

I thought the same thing. But I guess they were offically playing "stroke play" so I guess he had to finish. It was almost cruel however.

Why did he even finish out the last hole? He should have conceded after the first bunker shot.

No one had better drama than BB Ka'anapali for sure. Where did you get all the data about those shots? Do you keep an archive of every show? :)

Still an open invitation to write a post on my blog anytime Awsi. Seriously, pick a topic related to golf and then blog away!
cheers

Definitely a flat episode. And spoiled by JR's facial appearance in the interview clips. One look at his eyes and I knew he was gone. Sean, in contrast, didn't give away anything.

Kevin nailed it, worst group performance ever in Big Break. I was stunned when the Finaus finished with 2 and they used a remark from Tony that hinted it might be enough. Winning with that number hadn't crossed my mind. I checked Big Break Michigan, the second episode. Haymes and Bernie won that progressive distance challenge with 9. Casey and Rachel had 5. Three teams managed 3, and three had 0. This time it was a ridiculous 0-2-0-0.

The confessionals are designed to be forthright. They even ask leading questions. That's what all the Ka'anapali contestants reported, and if you remember those videos from the website the players would be reading the questions then contemplating before responding. The spats were terrific, Lori and Christina's feud with others giving their versions and taking sides. That was the best overall impression because we had the weekly episode, the real time confessionals posted on the website -- several minutes per player every week -- then your blog/GFW with the current interviews. I think Golf Channel turned lazy and protective. If you include the full confessionals on the website the players define themselves. Big Break wants to define them.

BTW, every time I resolve to start my own blog or own site, I debate the format and end up rationalizing to wait until I'm comfortable with the focus. It's been several years. LOL.

Hard to disagree with you Ausi as you are one of the most 'bang on' commentators I've met on forums and on Big Break reviews. I wish you had your own blog actually so I could comment :). OR you could do a guest appearance on mine anytime!

As usual...I agree with you again, but sadly, the confessionals are no where to be seen. I sometimes wonder if the contestants were just not 'publishable' at that point in the day (maybe one too many beers or martinis ;))and so their 'confessions' weren't easy to include OR if they were just too darn forthright and that's not good TV.

Anyway..nice to see Mike's come through this week.

I found the challenges a bit flat tonight. Was it the players not living up to them or the challenges too challenging?

Kevin has now advanced as far as Courtney did at Ka'anapali, where she was the 6th one eliminated.

It's pathetic the confessionals are wasted. Kevin said he's been looking for them on the Golf Channel website, obviously remembering the situation during Ka'anapali, when every individual confessional was posted, sparking huge response via comments underneath the videos. Golf Channel has become increasingly petrified and lazy. For Big Break Michigan they edited and merged the confessionals, down to 2 or 3 minutes total each week. For PEI it was similar but even more limited. This time they are completely absent from the website.
