Yup....looks like this one is actually going to have some players.

Don Donatello was the most annoying, but loved wathching him as he had some good game in him.

[nearace]

no cuts last night that ticks me off:mad:

[guitarman]

man I'm pissed. I forgot to watch "Prison Break" on Monday and "Big Break Mesquite" lastnight.

[nearace]

man I'm pissed. I forgot to watch "Prison Break" on Monday and "Big Break Mesquite" lastnight.I have the reminder on my tv.

[MSJ76]

Prison Break wasn't on Monday due to the MLB playoffs and you can always catch the repeat episode of the this weeks BB Mesq. next Tuesday at 9pm on the GC......so overall, no harm done!

[Bellyhungry]

I ain't gonna miss "Kitchen's Nightmare' tonight like I did last week.

As for the BB, I am glad they let these people play golf rather than gimmicks like breaking glasses and what not.

Woohhooo. Now I'm not pissed anymore. I knew I could catch BB but I thought I was out of luck with PB.

I have the reminder on my tv.

Whats that? Maybe I have that feature and don't know it. Or are you just talking about stickey notes on your tv?

[nearace]

[cdnputter]

What's the deal with A-god? 212 out, into the wind and he hits 5 iron? Nice to see him 30 yards short.

[nearace]

a-rod got eliminated,maybe a little to cocky?still some good shots played but thos chips from a side hill lie were sad.

Last night's show was so boring that I fell asleep....

I will catch the rerun just to see A-rod getting eliminated.

I hope TGC have a Donatella vs A-rod no-holds-barred 18 holes showdown with them wearing mike.

Same here, snoozeville for sure.

Great to see A-rod get taken out though, nice 3 foot putt. He's a stooge.

It would be great to see Don vs A-rod, although whoever loses should never be allowed on a golf course again, that would be great motivation for them.

[avidgolfer]

There was no tears shed last night by the rest of the boys when A-Rod got eliminated. That's for sure...

[Zuggy]

Wow that A-rod has a nasty temper like me hehehhe. I am surprised that he did not throw something into the water. Also, no tears shed that he is gone. I guess no one is safe.

[JEBS]

I am having a hard time getting past the guy who replaced Vince... At least they have him wearing a golf shirt now... better that the dress shirt that was 2 sizes to big that he was swimming in.. A bowl of dead weeds has more spunk than this guy.

[Bellyhungry]

I still think a night at Stephanie's Suite should be a reward to spice up the show....

[nearace]

yeah baby http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t234/nocod/homerdrooling.gif

Isn't it usually rebroadcast about 20 times a week?

I still think a night at Stephanie's Suite should be a reward to spice up the show....

Yup, that would help a bit. How about Stephanie wears a bit less clothing everytime somebody hits a good shot? :D

[racmbs]

+2...guys a great player, but ZERO class on the course and wouldn't be caught dead caddying, or playing a round of golf with him. The "mightier than thou" attitude got the best of him, and his exit from the show is deserved.

It's easy for people to sit here and say "it's boring, they have no game, easy shots" blah, blah, blah. But when push comes to shove, and you are under pressure like that for millions of people to see your boo-boo's and must face heavy scrutiny, hats off to these guys who manned up and had the cajones to chase their dreams and do it on a live TV show.

[Bellyhungry]

I caught the rerun last night....

A-Rod missed two make-able putts (one in regulation, the other one in the play off) and got eliminated. He had 2 chances, that is more than most BB contestants.

Given that A-Rod is a character, I am sure they will have some sort of 'play your way back to the show' kind of deal down the road. I am certain he is not done yet.

I hope he's gone. I got tired of hearing him talk about how perfect all his shots were, but where is he now?

[Jeffc]

It's like every guy says he hit it perfect, but hit a soft spot on the green, the wind got it, etc.

Dude, you were 30 yds short and you still thought you hit it perfect. Give me a break.

[Leftygolfer30]

I was loving it when he kept complaining about having to go first!

If he was really as good as he said he was he would have been happy to go first to put the pressure on the other players.

Bottom line is that he was a big baby that got what he deserved.

[nearace]

I love a guy who tosses his clubs NOT, he was a suck :nono: has anyone seen the elimination interview ? the feed on the golf channel keeps failing:mad:

[Feherty Fan]

It's like every guy says he hit it perfect, but hit a soft spot on the green, the wind got it, etc.

I was thinking the same thing, in the final challenge it hit, as he described, the perfect 280 yrd shot, but ended up long and left of the green. Dude, that wasn't perfect...

He made me laugh, but glad he is gone. Couldn't stand the big cry baby act.. bad sportsmanshop, IMHO

[Golden Bear]

Where is Vince Cellini, anyway? Did he leave the Golf Channel? I haven't seen him on BB, Grey Goose, or Golf Central in ages.

[oukk]

Thank God ARod is gone!!

everytime he hit a shot, he said it's perfect. Then why r u eliminated?

[racmbs]

HERE HERE!

+2 that this shmo is gone, he was freakin' annoying. Only reason why I watched the show was hoping he'd get dinged off by Hiroshi.

[Golden Bear]

Earlier, I recall discussing ARod and some of us couldn't figure out why the other players hated him so much. I guess we figured out pretty quickly.

[Bellyhungry]

Apparently A-Rod has enough game to make it past first stage of Q-school....Saw it on the golf channel....

[nearace]

good show last night those long drives were impresive,had to watch the previous show again just to watch a rod do his walk away from the show:eek:

[Lefty17]

Apparently A-Rod has enough game to make it past first stage of Q-school....Saw it on the golf channel....

10 out of 10 this year for cuts made on the Canadian Tour.

[BowmanvilleJim]

There's no doubt the guy is a good player but he was also a jerk.

[Hombre Lefty]

there's definitely no connection between niceness and talent. I caddied for a lot of top level golfers when i was a kid, and some were nice, some were the meanest SOB's you'll ever meet.

hey i caught the one challenge mid way through... did one guy hit a 7 iron 230 yards??????? and a 5 iron 285????

[Bellyhungry]

The show now does not have a villain to cheer against after A-Rod is gone....

I am now rooting for a Hiroshi and James final showdown.

BTW, did anyone notice Ms. Sparks shows some skin in the latest episode?

[nearace]

good show last night,I thought benoit was gone,lots of skill on this show I would not want to hit those long sand shots:eek: I cant remember who got elimated?

[golfnguru]

some were nice, some were the meanest SOB's you'll ever meet.



Al Balding was the worst I caddied for.

[looper]

Al Balding was the worst I caddied for.

a family friend caddied for Tommy Bolt, and lasted exactly 1 day. He asked 1 to many questions ... which was a grand total of 1. lol!:p

apparently Bolt would curse and swear enough to make a trooper blush .... when he was happy.;) :hush:

[nearace]

I fell asleep with 15 minutes left who got bumped?I thought the big man was getting elimated.

[Bellyhungry]

As I said before, this season's is boooriiiinnnng....

Aussie James got bumped.

[nearace]

benoit is out great player I thought the big guy jerry was gone for sure:eek:

[Bellyhungry]

These are the dialogs on the show:

- I will not root against XXX
- XXX is a great player
- If I have to, I will put my money on XXX
- I want to win, but I don't want to beat XXX
- XXX is a great guy
- I will miss XXX

Man, I felt like I was watching the Golf Pride channel....

[Zuggy]

Not only was I expecting Jerry to be gone, but I was hoping that he was going to be gone.

[Golden Bear]

Yeah, too much love on the show. Reality TV only works if there's bitterness, and we're not getting enough of that. Perhaps the problem is that these guys actually have tour experience, and are maddeningly respectful. It was more fun when everyone hated ARod.

But also, I think the format has worn on me. It's been a long time since watching guys hit a ball into a circle gave me goosebumps. It'd rather see each show end with a match-play elimination. I can always enjoy match or stroke play ... but skills competitions need to be creative in order to sustain interest.

[BowmanvilleJim]

I've always advocated the 2 man 9 hole playoff for elimination. That way you should more likely see the better player advance. I can't believe that Kevin is still in.

[Golden Bear]

I can't believe that Kevin is still in.Yes, that's why House should be the host of the show. At the end of the elimination, Benoit would be getting ready to walk away, and House would make the surpise move of firing Kevin just for the hell of it.

[Bellyhungry]

Too much man-love on the show.

I should have caught on right at the beginning with the tell-tale sights of fedora-wearing golfer, pony-tailed biker-dude looking guy being the nicest guy of the bunch, jewelery on both ears, and all the sappy dialogs.

[Feherty Fan]

I say bring back ARod... Hated him, but at least he made the show fun, I haven't yelled at the TV since he got voted off, I mean, eliminated...

You're right.

Tears were running down my face last night when Benoit got eliminated.

I'm going to rent a Chuck Norris movie to get this out of my system.

[Zuggy]

I think Jerry could become that hated person (not as much as A-Rod). Although this is my first time watching Big Break, what the show needs is a event that some one can screw Hiroshi over. That is what make Survivor so good is that it allows you to screw people over. I think A-Rod would not have hesitated on putting a knife in any one of those guys backs.

MYO

MYOmaybe, he may need to step up to make it past the next show.

the elimenator gets elimated,I figured jerry was gone again, now it will get interesting.

[Bellyhungry]

The eliminator is an over achiever, should have gone long time ago.

BTW, Two-glove Gainey is in the Q-School final stage.

[Zuggy]

Well I agree that Jerry is not a good player, not once did he hit his tee shot in the fairway.

[MP33]

There will never be a better BB competitor than Don Donatello.

"Player Hater baby...Player Hater"...
" Pull the string tight!!!!!!...PULL it TIGHT:eek: :eek: !!!!!"

Love that guy!!

He's doing great. Tied for 7th after 2 rounds.

Also, Donatello posts sometimes on the GolfChannel forum where he gets no end of grief from the other posters.

[pa-ping]

Big Don wha wha wha , he still get shis own share of the spot light . Ya he was fun to watch , but more fun to see leave. He blew $5000 on B.B. 7 when he could of cashed in on the points in liu of a pass . Doh he lost the challange , bummer.gone cry . Golfing with style , wins a trip to autrialia , nice . But come on , it's more fun to see him lose .

[TourIQ]

BTW, Two-glove Gainey is in the Q-School final stage.Tommy Gainney now 3rd after his 3rd Round 65 :D

[Bellyhungry]

Tommy Gainey shot a 77 today...good thing he played well the previous 5 days.

He earned his card.

[Golfing in Ottawa]

Yes good to see Tommy make it. His collar was certainly tighting in todays round..............

Wonder if he will hire Don Donatello to caddie for him..............;)

Can just see it now Angel Cabrera with his caddie "Eddie" playing in the same group as Tommy "Two Gloves" and his caddie "Don Donatello". (as many know Eddie has no love for Double D....)
Heck all the cameras would leave Tigers grouping just to watch that circus...........

[bigbertha]

Can't believe no one has posted this yet. HIROSHI IS OUT!:(

[oukk]

I thought Hiroshi would win but it seems like he doesn't perform as usual under pressure.

[Bellyhungry]

A ho-hum season capped off by a ho-hum finish.

I am all for positive self-talk. But to see Josh going on and on about 'I know I can win out here' and yet got trashed 5-4 makes me think he is in denial.

[nearace]

This was not what I expected ,roshi got knocked out while I was down south and only saw it last night,good luck to brian,cant wait for the next one.

[Carlton]

Can't believe no one has posted this yet. HIROSHI IS OUT!:(

That was a major upset. I think he had the better game than the other players. All it took was one bad day of golf to get you kicked out. The finale was ho-hum to say the least. Josh couldn't control his yardages on any hole, not to mention finding the fairway with his drives. Yawn

[davevandyk]

This was not what I expected ,roshi got knocked out while I was down south and only saw it last night,good luck to brian,cant wait for the next one.

i don't get the golf channel? They want to find the best golfer, so they have them play a 18-hole match play on a course that only had 2 par 4's over 380yrds in Nevada!! What a joke! I mean even the 425yrd hole was played with a 2i and wedge by Kontak. All this did was show that Brian can control his 2i from the tee, and could hit his wedges good, that's all.

I imagine it was set-up to try and keep Josh in it, knowing that wedges are his forte, but cmon show us some real golf.

Other than that, i can't stand how TGC is afraid of silence, hearing Josh say 400 times how he "knows he has the game to win" almost made me hit the mute button

[Bellyhungry]

Some myths and lingos I want to dispute:

- These are great golfers

No, they are not, that's why they are not on the tour

- In match play, you always have to expect your opponent to make the putt

No, you don't have to....More than 50% of the time, most people, even the
pros, don't make the long putts. You just have been watching too much Tiger Woods on TV. Een if he or she got lucky one hole, it won't go on for the duration.

[MP33]

Josh would probably come dead last at the Mayakoba open if he had won. It will be a big stretch for Kontak to make the cut and he was head and shoulders better than Josh last night. Kontak must have been 6 - 7 shots better than Josh when that match ended.

[Zuggy]

I watched the whole thing... just to get a super bowl ending, what a disappointment. :cool:

I don'tthink anyone is carrying much better then a zero, maybe plus one plus handicap amongst the bunch except for the a couple like Kontack. Woul danyone else agree with that statment? Do most top amatuers/college players carry a plus handicap?

They are good players but can't compete or qualify on there own in the PGA or Nation Wide. Far from it I would say but I am not a teacher or seasoned pro.

Anyone remeneber the first big break. Most of the guys were lucky to be 5 handicap's maybe. There were a couple serious featehr baggers. I start to laugh the more I think about it

I believe Hiroshi and the Australian dude were both regular members on the Nationwide Tour. Kontak, Hiroshi and that goof with the Sinatra Hats have all qualified to play PGA tour events on their own. I think Kontak actually finished Top 20 at a PGA event.

These guys from Mesquite are worlds apart better than those guys from BB1. That Moose guy from BB1 was annoying to watch and also a terrible player. Keep in mind that the grand prize from the original BB show was an exemption for the Canadian tour. Players like Kontak (former Canadian tour order of merit winner) wouldn't waste their time with something like that. Also, the other prizes are now way better. They gave away two cars this season and if I remember, Justin Peters got a lease on a cheaper vehicle for a year!
