I can't believe Lili picked Chris with her first pick. That was dumb.

It was sort of Chris' time to go, I wouldn't say she over- or underachieved.

I wish they would quit creating scenarios the carry players that do not deserve to move on....

Frickin' hack jobs.

It's not even like, "who is the best" it's more like, "who isn't the worst"

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.


PAypal wagers on who gets booted tonight.....I get Seema....

Fate is clearly with Seema. I'm fully convinced she's going to be in the final 2 at this point.

The first half of the show had me intrigued... then they started golfing. It got ugly out there tonight. Chris on the 2nd to last hole and Lili on the last hole was bad enough that the producers probably considered editing it out, but knew it would be too controversial to be able to cover it up.

Are these girls professional golfers? They are chunking and skulling the ball all over the place. Terrible display of short game and a few of them barely hit the ball 200 yards in the long drive contest. What a joke!

that was the poorest display of golf i have ever seen - i felt itchy watching it and embarassed for them
I still say Sara/Carling final - maybe Sheema wil make it out of PURE LUCK, as SHE HAS NO GAME

Desire played a big part of Chris' demise. She has a well-paying career outside of golf, so her livelihood wasn't on the line (as opposed to the other girls, who are fresh out of college and scraping to get by from tournament to tournament). Her talking head bits revealed someone more interested in self-validation than winning the big prize. She could have gone further if she wanted to, but she wasn't going to dig deep enough to get there.

I just got a chance to watch it on DVR, and I must say........... I'm a hacker, and their shortgame on this show made me feel a lot better about mine, that's for sure.

I believe that's why several people feel like Carling has the best chance to win it all: her short game appears to be superior to most of the other contestants.

Isn't that the truth? I mean cmon, that first challenge was brutal! 12 shots by professional/near professional golfers and nobody can hit the green? 6 shots to get in from 130yards? That looks just like my game! Still, this show is like crack, I know it's no good yet I keep coming back to it.

You are right. Plus you kinda want see some bad shots, just because it lets you know you aren't the only one with a sour game at times.

I am pretty impressed with Taryn... she has made some great shots (compared to the rest of the group, who can't seem to make even a halfway decent shot)

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

Were you watching the same show we were?


Well, Taryn has looked worse-than-average until she was up for elimination against Ryann. Then all of a sudden she had been making some clutch shots which carried over into the latest episode somewhat. Then to finish the last couple holes she stunk it up again. I'd say she's one of the weaker competitors left, but I don't have confidence in that assessment. I even think Seema is the worst one remaining, but the truth is I've only seen her swing a club a few times, and none of them were under the pressure of elimination.

    • From what I heard over the weekend, Shedeur pulled a "Bo Callahan" with the Giants. Per Todd McShay: “Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit. An install package came in, preparation wasn’t there for it, he got called out on it, he didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it." You can have all the talent in the world (which I am not sure he has, as CU tailored the offense to his strength in a weak division ), but you have to act like a top round draft pick and not like an unproven legend! If you get drafter at 3 as a QB in the draft you are expected to lead that team, and preparation is part of that.  Playing ball in NY (any sport) requires you to deal with criticism, and deal with it as a professional.  
    • I agree that in a pure stroke-play situation the use of E-5 limits the possible scores by limiting the potential to hit multiple shots OB.  But in a Stableford or "quota" game, a player is likely to be in "blob" territory anyway, so its a minimal difference.   I understand that E-5 is viewed differently in different parts of the world, I don't know what the Australian attitude would be, but I don't see a problem with using it.  
    • Probably hurt him a small bit. I am pretty sure Ward didn’t throw. He probably over evaluated his skill. Which may be his entitled attitude. I agree with the pick at that point. I think he’s closer to an end of the day 2 pick than a day 1 prospect. There has been plenty of QB’s who had similar numbers that don’t thrive in the NFL. It’s easy to get a high comp% in college and put up big numbers. 1) Colorado had to score a lot to win, so they aired it out. 2) The level of competition is low.  Against FBS teams with a winning % he was 70% with 7.5 y/a. Lots of short easy stuff.  Versus Will Howard who had 75% with 9.5 y/a. That 2 y/a is huge.  Cam Ward, 67% at 10 y/a. Look at Joe Burrow, 75% at 10.2 y/a. He was unable to read defenses well enough against FBS teams with winning % to push the ball down field.  I get his o-line was bad, but Miami had an average O-line, not elite and there is a noticeable difference between the two QB’s. They should never been talked as 1A/1B.    
    • That's what I'd suggest you do ,post hole-by-hole, post an "x" for the holes not played,  unless directed otherwise by a Handicap Committee with approval from your state golf association.  "Par plus.." is no longer used, unless specific instructions are given.  Note that Clarification 3.2b/2 says it should be used "only when approved by the Authorized Association".
    • I have no idea if he's any good or not. I've only ever seen him play one game. I will say he probably got bad advice going into the draft. He should have done all the "Combine Stuff" at the combine. Refusing to throw at that combine hurt.  I disagree about what his game film shows. I'm no expert, but I tried to watch as much as I could this weekend. I think it's really hard to find any game film on him that's worth a pile of beans. He's either playing really inferior competition in which case the game film is worthless. Or he's immediately running for his life the moment the ball is snapped. In which case the game film is worthless. He should have gone through the combine stuff. That was a huge mistake.  I do think it's a great pick for the Browns in the 5th round. Why not take him at that point? I think he has a chance to develop into something. Completing 75% of his passes, for 4100 yards, 37 TD's with only 10 picks behind that terrible offensive line is pretty good numbers. He may stink out loud at the next level, but being picked in the 5th round means he isn't a bust. He's just a 5th round pick that didn't work out.  If he stinks. Who cares? .... The Browns have had plenty of bad quarterbacks over the last 25 years.
