Tread carefully.

It was easy to find. The pic is from the Playboy Superbowl Party 2008. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post here.

Yeah, that's why I didn't just put it up. I know that many little eyes view this forum and I don't want to be responsible for their corruption.

I feel the same as most about Brenda...her act was wearing thin for me, although in GolfGal's interview she does appoligize for coming off as mean to Blair. As far as Blair's attire I noticed something. A couple of weeks ago she started the day in a skirt and did poorly in the challenges...we are all a little superstious sometimes. Anyhow she would look good to me in a burlap sack :>)

Finally some decent weather! I think a lot of the so so play on this show has been abetted buy som awfull conditions. With better conditions we finally saw some consitently good play.

As for who wins...if Derek can stay straight off the tee I think he will be too much for Blair. Remember, when this show was taped she had not played much competitive golf in a while. I'll be rooting for her but I think Derek wins.

and, if you watch the little animation with the silhouettes in the opening, and pause it, youll see that it takes them away in the order they were eliminated, and shows Derek as the last one left. Kinda telltale if you ask me.

That's an interesting angle. I've never slowed it down to check that out. If true, I'm baffled they did it in exact order, after taking so many steps including million dollar lawsuit threats to protect the result from leaking.

Golf Gal, Thanks for all the help! I thought we were pals?

Apoc G 10, I never really noticed that in the beginning of the show. Has it been that way all season? I wonder if the past shows gave away those clues as well?

Well, to all the rest, I suppose that if you were looking at my past predictions it would be safe to say that whom ever I choose to win this thing, you should bet against me and you may win. My pick this week for top gun.....Derek

I feel the same as most about Brenda...her act was wearing thin for me, although in GolfGal's interview she does appoligize for coming off as mean to Blair.

Act is a proper term. Apologies don't carry much weight in a case like this. Those unnecessary mean spirited comments will be what I remember about Brenda. I had a sense she was restraining that type of attitude throughout, with a little bit of help from the editors. A high percentage of her comments the entire show were a negative dig toward the others, from the standard, "What are you doying?" to rolled eyes, "Into the tree?" when Caroline said she hit a circle challenge pitch shot exactly as she wanted. It was the opposite of Brian, who praised the others.

Last night, in the confessional once she was eliminated, Brenda lost the subtle necessity and focused on petty issues like marking the short putt. Frankly, I'm glad Big Break used those comments, particularly the cruel cardboard remark. It probably stunned and hurt Blair last night when she watched the show, but Brenda needs to be accurately portrayed. Nothing stings like a bad final impression. Last night was particularly disgusting since Big Breaks generally calm down once the final handful of players are revealed. They gain respect for each other and keep an eye on the prize. Personal attacks and fireworks are reserved for the middle of the series. So Brenda broke new ground. Or recent ground. I didn't watch the early Big Breaks other than an occasional episode but I remember the Danielle/Pam tension. If Golf Channel had provided the full several minute nightly individual confessionals each week on its website, as it did in previous versions, I guarantee we'd have a more accurate impression of personalities, cliques and bothers. As is, it's obvious the producers tried to minimize if not cover up the brewing unease with Blair, evidenced when Derek, Gerina and Brenda forgot to clap when Blair drained the 50 footer versus Aaron.

[Awsi Dooger]

getting through a few weeks is lucky, getting to the final 3 takes skill, and brenda has lots of skill. She just had a bad day :shrug

I don't agree that Brenda was one of the top 5 players. Derek, Gerina and Eugene are clearly superior, via scoring averages and results. Aaron made it to the second stage of PGA Q School last year. Blair's scoring average, this year on the Cactus Tour (75.2) and when she played on the Duramed Futures Tour are a stroke or two superior to Brenda, who plays full seasons and makes only a handful of cuts:

http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/Pl...NealBlair.html http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/Pl...nonBrenda.html The +3 for 9 holes is roughly Brenda's level. She is a good putter and a better player than Nicole, but over 18 holes or more I'm not sure she'd handle Football, Kim or even Robert, to name the earliest eliminated. Caroline is several shots better, based on Duramed results. http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/Pl...nCaroline.html Derek may be the best player now but he is into his 30s and not on tour. Gerina is only 24, and the one player from this group with big league potential, particularly since she has the trump card edge in driving distance. Gerina's scoring average was a respectable 72.6 last year and slightly over 73 this season, after a slow start. Like other Golf Channel alumnae Camila Mori and Kim Welch, Gerina has not been making the most of her best events this year. That tour rewards for a top 5 or 6 finish, otherwise the money is bunched to the bottom. You don't gain much with 10th place as opposed to 50th. All three of those players have missed DFT tournaments and lag much further on the money list than their scoring averages should allow: Gerina: 18th scoring average, 48th money list Camila: 24th scoring average, 85th money list Kim: 28th scoring average, 46th money list

Thanks for those stat links, Awsi... very revealing.

With a record like Brenda's I have to wonder if she should just quit. What is she doing for $$?

I'm not sure what has been going on between Blair and the other players the last few weeks though. Seems to be some kind of undercurrent of animosity that I just can't figure out, although last nite she and Derek were going back and forth a little..."pretty good Derek...pretty good Blair...just trying to keep up with you Derek" Maybe some of the problem is that Blair really seems to clam up when the pressure is on and she comes off as being cold. I don't believe she is always that way or she wouldn't be making Play Golf Designs appearances.

[saltman]

Thanks Awsi, that pretty much affirms what I had thought. Based on two shows I quickly surmised that this format would lead to upsets. I believe Derek even mentioned that Football was an upset on golfgal's blog.

My rankings of ability remain unchanged. Derek, Aaron, Eugene, Football, Gerina (best odds of making the big leagues), Blair, Brian, Caroline, Kim, Brenda, Nicole, Robert

I haven't really heard the guys talking crap about her. The obvious reason would be because, well, she's very attractive. However, I tend to believe it's because girls tend to be a bit more catty and mean to each other... especially to girls they perceive to be prettier and/or more talented.

Could it be as simple as jealousy coming from Brenda? Maybe Blair's a great person and Brenda is just a tad jealous. Who knows.

[RAD3]

Just listened to GolfGal's interview with Blair...very interesting. Found out that they finished off the competition the same day as the play that aired on last nites show!

And before I forget I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Gayle for all of her great interviews. They really added a lot to my enjoyment of watching and following this year's show.

Don't they shoot that before the show begins? If not, and if that's how things worked out, that's really, really lame.

Yeah, that's why I didn't just put it up. I know that many little eyes view this forum and I don't want to be responsible for their corruption.

Oh c'mon, you're assuming they don't know how to use Google? Look, nobody under 14 can register here and, well, in that Supreme Court ruling thing I don't think these count as porn at all. Don't look if you don't want to.

There. Still not terribly attractive to me - personality's a big part of that and she's not displayed much to me. Kind of like smoking - I don't care how how hot someone is, the instant I find out that they smoke or I see them smoking, I'm done. They go from a 10 to a 0 in one puff. Incidentally, I missed last night's episode. I'll have to see if it recorded. I'm sure it has in one of the 4700 showings Golf Channel has in a given week.

Derek is also standing dead center, and like I said, he's the last one to dissapear. I have a dvr, so after I noticed, I checked it a few times to make sure I wasnt crazy.

[ApocG10]

oh, and I do think Blair is pretty, but she's far from hot. I prefer my women, much like my fiance, with a little bit of muscle on them, not stick thin. Blair is so skinny that its unnatractive. Though her legs are quite nice.

But like I said, I prefer a woman who weight trains, and has nice, feminine muscles, and a round, hard butt. I'd much rather wake up to someone with an athletic body, like my soon to be wife.

I know I'm partly responsible, but let's keep this reasonably on topic, c'mon now...

[ApocG10]

hahaha, sorry.

Quite a pic though. She does have nice bewbies.

Ummm, ya, derek is gonna win (trying to stay on topic)

[bogeyhitter25]

Thank God Brenda is off!

[BigBoy]

Its pretty bad how some of the women have handled themselves after losing - its really inexcusable, and shows flaws in their character that are easy to hide when things are going well. I don't remember the backgrounds of the offenders, but I wonder if they were never exposed to team sports growing up, where being a good winner and a good loser is taught, and enforced largely through peer pressure. While I love sports, and if I have kids would love to watch them play, even if I didn't I'd still enroll them in some youth sports just to learn these lessons of winning and losing.

Its also awesome how homely women often attack the personality of beautiful women.
