I despise Raul and Jameica.

Agreed.

Wasn't Peach using a club as alignment guide during the first tee shot on the par 3? Just throwing it out there... Campbell's ("one team will be eliminated") and Ashes (made clutch 15-footer in clip showing what is upcoming in the show; fell down in (I presume) happiness after receiving ball) won't get the strike. I'd wager that Peach and Jay are going home. We'll see... EDIT (10:52 PM): I was wrong about Peach and Jay, so it looks like Team Boring/Uber-Competitive is going home. Also looks like Charlotte is breaking her "no crying" rule.

It's going to be Raul and Jemeica. The Ashle*s and Peach and Jay are finished with their challenges before the final commercial break. I highly doubt there will be a disqualification.

Tonight's observations:

  • Keri Murphy has to go. She's just awful. Way too many affectations. "3, 2, 1 GO!"
  • Eff Jay. I'm sick of his crap. "Peach speed up!" "Peach slow down!" "Peach what are you doing!" By the end of the show, I was actually rooting for Jay to get eliminated instead of Mr. Wristy and [dang, I have no nickname for Jameica!]
  • The croquet challenge was redonkulous. No golf skill required whatsoever.
  • Ashley's whining about other competitors not letting her merge was redonkulous. I hate to make generalizations, but it sounded like a pretty girl used to getting her way and not understanding when she doesn't.
  • I thought it was hilarious that Mr. Wristy chunked his first chip shot toward the airboat.
  • I like how Ashleigh gets squeaky when she gets excited.
  • That was some crappy golf played at Trump:
>Why didn't every single team ask the Trump rep. "what is the easiest hole left?"
>How many shots did Rob and Charlotte need to see go over the green before they realized that they needed a shorter club?
>How many people hit into the water hazard?

Tonight's observations:

True dat. Jay's completely burned me out. I also like that he considers himself someone "who makes a living playing golf." Uh, has he seen his position on the Hooters Tour money list? Not much of a living there.

Apparently, Char gets all crunchy-faced when she cries. Adorable. I also came to like Raul a bit more than before, ugly swing and all, perhaps because he has some golf chops and, compared to Jay, he's a real peach. (Ha ha.) Also, Jameica, although boring, has a genuinely good attitude and I hated to see her eat her words tonight. The editing for this episode was exactly as atrocious as was anticipated in this thread.

From 6 days ago:

5. I still love Charlotte. Are we to believe that Charlotte breaks her no-crying policy in the next episode?

So, who wins the show?

Seriously, though, nice call.

Or, right, there are no females on this site.

HEY!!! What am I - chopped liver? Last time I looked I had an X chromosome stashed somewhere - LOL!

Well, I was lucky to catch Charlotte and the two Ash's tonight after the show to get their perspectives. Seems a lot happened behind the scenes we didn't see. Next week should be very interesting. Check out their interviews and come back later in the week for more. Raul, Jameica and the rest will be added Wed and Thursday. Gayle

My apologies Gayle!

You are most decidedly not chopped liver. (And before julie_m and/or ClairefromClare, or any other double-Xers I failed to list specifically by name find this thread, they are not chopped liver either.) I hope Vangroovy is getting the same unexpectedly summer-esque weather as the Emerald City.

Ash D is pretty buzzed in her interview with golfgal. Awesome. I am pretty confident they're not leaving next, but we'll need to wait for the next commercial to be sure.

Well, I was lucky to catch Charlotte and the two Ash's tonight after the show to get their perspectives.

In Gayle's interview of Charlotte, Charlotte reveals that the producers are giving time penalties for driving violations. Charlotte got a 5 minute penalty (she "ran a yellow") and Peach and Jay got one too. That explains how Rob and Charlotte got so far behind after the road challenge. (Charlotte makes some good noises in the interview too!)

And In Ashleigh's interview, she says that she and Ashley had already gotten two previous penalties for reckless driving. It's good to know that they are enforcing the road rules. Ashleigh also confirms my thoughts that the croquet challenge was silly (she suggests that maybe strokes should also have counted so the whole thing wouldn't look so sloppy), and that the producers completely edited out a second putting challenge. And then in Ashley's interview, there is the whole side story about an alleged text message from Jameica claiming Ashley said something bad "at the hotel" and (it sound like Ashley thinks) that Rob and Charlotte gave some bad information to Raul and Jameica. We definitely need more info on that. Thanks Gayle! P.S. Gayle, in Ashleigh's interview, you mention that you will be caddying for her next week. What's that about?

Apology accepted - thanks Harry.

BTW...Charlotte just wanted to let you know...she's reading this thread too. Vangroovy is wonderful right now and all I want to do is golf! But making a living is once again getting in the way of a good time. Cheers Gayle

I'm definately digging this show, but am also hating the editing. I feel I get more info out of the interviews with Golfgal than the show itself!! Go figure.

My prediction: The Ash* team goes home next...

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
