The Big Break: Ka’anapali - Episode 3

Episode 3, and no eliminations yet. But the show promises that someone will go home today. I've made no secret about who I think should go, and watching the "confession" videos on the Golf Channel website (another Big Break related guilty pleasure I've acquired), I can truthfully say that I am not alone. All of the players have acknowledged at some time that they are baffled at how Cirbe even managed to make it onto the show. But having watched 3 previous seasons, I know that there are numerous ways in which a bad player can manage to stick around.

Big Break: Ka'anapali
Episode 3: "Turn a Blind Eye"
Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Finally, the show seems to settled into its version of golf. Lot's of shots, not a lot of filler. I particularly enjoyed the first immunity challenge with the blind approach shots.

My only criticism is the failure to show the actual shots from the $5,000 bonus challenge for the players who beat their roommates in the first challenge and gained immunity for the show. Why show an unintelligible montage? At least post the actual shots on the Golf Channel website under "bonus clips."

Thankfully, when all was said and done, Cirbe is gone. Hallelujah.

After the elimination challenge with Tina (side note: Tina better step it up soon), a bunch of the ladies said that she "rose to the challenge". I disagree. I think she still played crappy golf. Just not as crappy as every one of her shots before that elimination challenge. The incident where Cirbe took 5 MINUTES to make one putt was not only unacceptable, it was unfair to Tina. It was just another example of why Cirbe should not have even been on the show. She is just not tournament golf experienced.

I'm not sure who will actually be next to go, but Dana bugs the crap outta me, so I'm voting for her. Unless they don't show her talking . . . then she is tolerable.
