I got my copy of GolfWorld magazine yesterday. It has an ad for the next BB show. As you might have guessed from the spots following BB Sandals, it picked the contestants you most wanted to be booted off the show for about the last three or four years. You know, the ones whose personalities and attitudes needed more work than their short game?

I won't go over who they are, but one look at the photo and you'll immediately recall at least nine or ten of them.

Honestly, I really don't know if I'll be able to watch.

I got nervous when I saw this thread and thought that I hadn't set my DVR in time! I will be watching for sure! I think I really got into this show just waiting for a massive blowup from some of these contestants that they are bringing back. Oh ya, and the golf too

The most amusing thing about the Big Break: Dominican Republic promos is how Lori is positioned in the group title card: on SD television screens, she is cropped out of the frame entirely.

I hope Giuliani loses the first day. I hate him just about as much as I hate any pro sports figure.

I hated him when the show first started, but after a few episodes I came to realize that more of the contestants were even bigger d-bags than Guiliani. Love or hate him, I think he was more real than most of the other contestants on that season.

As for this show in general, I couldn't be more excited...these guys are what kept the show exciting. More than often, it's not the golf thats fun to watch on this show, IMO.

I like to keep track of some of the events they go through and then try to duplicate them on my home course during a practice round to see how I do. Makes for a fun side game with the buddies.

Like breaking the glass windows? The only windows I can find are on the houses next to the course. Think they will mind?

For positioning in that photo, Big Break producers obviously handicapped the women based on looks. That's why Lori is off the (SD) screen, as someone put it, and Brenda is one position inside her. I agree with their top seed, Christina Lecuyer. After that I'd quarrel and put Elena second, then Blair followed by Sara. Big Break used Blair second, then Sara and Elena. I'm confident they would have placed Elena above Sara if Elena hadn't been ousted so early in Sandals Resorts, in fact the first one out, and therefore mostly forgotten.

Andrew followed by Brian was the logical ordering for the men, in terms of high profile and unique. Three others played the jerk role and "Football" was brought back for the same reason Elena was, booted too early after the producers saw promise.

BTW, apparently this will be a vastly different format, a team competition split by gender with 6 players per team and no one booted. You're wasting your time rooting for Andrew or anyone else to get kicked off. The winner will be the MVP of the winning team. How that is determined will be one of the plot lines, I'm sure.

Well, I haven't seen this one get started yet so, lets get with it.

I've gotta go with my sweetie, Sara Brown!! The sweetheart of the links just cause she's so damned cute.

Tell you guys what, The guys that pick someone to win and gets disqualified first have to buy all the guys that pick the winner a sleeve of balls. What do you think?

Duffy,

Striving every day to be the person my dogs think I am.

    • Day 303 - Long travel day, so just some mirror swings. Still trying to find that special combination that doesn’t induce hip pain. 
    • Day 54 - 2024-11-13 Played 18 at Tobacco Road.
    • ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..
    • Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..  
    • In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.
