Last night's show was the whole "bikini/photo shoot" one. And that's it - the entire show was Natalie getting her pictures taken. Whoopty doo. I've never seen more boring "reality" since, well, since I woke up...

Yeah but it was great that her dad wasn't even shown once! That made the show great on its own!

Her mom was there though. I thought that was good. I also saw the playing lessons episode with her and at that point I thought her dad was a bit out there. I think if she keeps hanging around butch he'll say look ditch the dad or find another instructor. It would be hard to have to cope with that all day long. I think she has potential to win but seems to lack the nerve to close the deal. She seems to make alot of mental errors under pressure. I'm sure she'll have her day though.

Is it me or did the cameraman, Golf Channel's, seem to be "editing" his own shots..like if you thought you were seeing some skin for too long he would pan away to something else..hmm..just seemed like it. Hopefully the show picks up a bit.

Less bikini, more action. I dare so nobody got to know anything at all about Natalie Gulbis in that episode, and it sure as heck had nothing to do with golf.

I was hoping we were done with Danielle. Is there a more vacuous human on the face of the planet?

Last night's episode was actually the first I've watched. I didn't think it was too bad. I got to see Christie Kerr a little too, so that's never a bad thing.

And Erik, I actually thought about you when Danielle was shown last night. I knew you wouldn't be too thrilled.

My wife was cracking up when they were showing the practice round. I think my wife likes the show more than I do. That's good I guess. It's quality family time in the Thrasher household.

For the most part, however, the show was ok. It was nothing special, but it was better than anything else on tv. (the bball games weren't very exciting last night)

I'm with Erik, I was hoping BB was the last time we'd see Barbie again. Her appearance showed even more about how fake she is (physically and personality) That kinda ruined the show although her dad was kinda nice to Natalie and that was nice to see. Finally yes it was great seeing Christie Kerr too!!

I love Kristie Kerr. Good thing I watched last night.

Her learning to drive stick in a Viper was pretty funny too.

Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

For instance, the swimsuit photo session for her calendar took place in just a single day. The reality show -- an idea of her father's that was pitched to several networks before landing on TGC -- was nothing more than living out her regular routine, albeit with cameras filming every step. "It was really easy," Natalie said. "Nothing extra."

As if her dad could become more creepy, well, he has. He probably wanted to see himself on TV as much as anything.

And seriously, did he think any network OTHER than TGC would give a shit?

I enjoy, Golf, Women, Women in Bikinis... And manage to produce such an excruciatingly dull show.

I have seen the show a few times, and surprisingly am finding her more attractive. I shouldn't say more, as I never thought she was attractive at all. But there is something about the lack of attractive women in sports that changes things when you actually see a decent looking one.

As for the show, it is still a bit boring. I would love to see it more golf centric. And as far as her father goes, well, most reality shows are produced to make people look a certain way. Simply put, it is better for TV when there are unappealling characters. So her father is made out to be a creepy, unkempt know it all with himself more in mind than his daughters.

But in this case, there is no doubt in my mind the producers have nothing to do with that. The guy is a white trash scum bag and I would bet dollars to doughnuts that his daughter would be much better off without him if his meal ticket sent him packing.

I think a reality show that would dive into a pro golfers life can be interesting if it shows behind the scenes activities related to golf, such as her training and preperation for an event or season in general. I find it interesting to see what work gets and keeps these professionals at the level they need to be to compete. Particularly this could have been interesting considering the level of success Natalie achieved this year. UNFORTUNATELY they chose to show absolutely meaningless garbage obviousley dreamed up by her father who looks like he crawled out from underneath a dark interstate overpass! More than once he has refered to Natalie not adhereing to his GOLF advise. What credentials does he bring to the table to qualify him as a golf instructor. Perhaps he should get together with Sean O'hair's father and nominate themselves for FATHER OF THE YEAR.....NOT!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that Natalie's father IS that way. A few random notes about last night's show, from what I can remember:
  1. It was awesome to see Paula Creamer step it up with the pressure on to roll a strike and a 9 (nearly another strike) while Natalie crumbled. Natalie's assessment of Paula's game as "pretty good" was pretty dumb given that Paula won four times (two LPGA) in her first year on Tour and Natalie has yet to win.
  2. What the hell was up with that drunk lady in the casino? She looked like she was trying to hit on The Scary One. Natalie looked completely annoyed and not like she was having fun at all. Why she doesn't tell the guy to shove off I'll never know - how hard is it to just play your own game at Blackjack?
  3. I'm glad it's over. I remember a lot more, but suffice to say, I hope there's no season two. I'd rather watch "Inside the LPGA Tour" than this crap.

I'm the opposite. I just watched it for the first time and used to think she was kinda cute but now think she looks like she landed face first in an empty pool. Personally, I think Paula looked better than Natalie on the show. But, compared to most on the LPGA tour they both look like supermodels

    • Late morning, short gym session for press.  Four sets of five, 105 lbs.  
    • First, you have some great choices in there.  Event Horizon remains a birdie movie for me.  It still finds its way onto the October options as Halloween approaches.  It fits well. I continue to forget that Arrival, when being referenced, is not the Charlie Sheen movie I saw in middle school. Lastly, what rating are you giving HG2?  Was it a par?  Bogey?  I gather from your review it didn't earn a hole in one on a par-4.  (I have yet to decide how I'm prioritizing that on my movie queue, and if I should even bother, so I'm looking forward to reviews here)
    • I loved Arrival. Annihilation is a good one. Event Horizon is also one of my classic sci-fi favorites. And now for something completely different: Happy Gilmore 2. I watched HG1 as an adult, and it was alright, but probably would have been better if I watched it as a kid. HG2 had some good parts, but overall I wasn't a big fan. I knew there would be pros in the movie, but I imagined some cameos, not them being straight up actors through large parts of the movie. They're not actors and it showed. I could've done with a lot less of them and John Daly was maybe the best of the pros. The Maxi part was boring.

    • Did I miss what your handicap was or how long you’ve been playing?  That Garmin chart is pretty useless.  Is the max number one of the numbers used to compute the average?  Without the chart don’t know how far you hit your clubs?  What do you hit from 150, ,160 etc…. Not looking at max and figuring the other numbers will probably have 10 yards of roll built in. It seems your launch and peak height are low.  I’d probably go Driver/5 wood/7 wood/ 5 iron
