If you weren't sure how mediocre these contestants are, it stood out clearly when the Real Thing showed up.

This is going to come off like an old fuddy duddy or prude but this season is solely about sex and extremely little about golf.  Tons of make up and fake boobs and scantily clad bad golfers.  This show used to have a decent premise about giving a wanna-be pro a little glimmer of hope but now it's just Golf Channel sensationalism.  Whichever chick wins this season will fail miserably in their "Big Break" and take a spot in a tournament from someone who can actually play.  Sad.

That said, it's not like she had an LPGA event to play in. The guys have as many as they can play, the girls, not so much. The guys get almost too much PR, the girls can't get enough.

In Big Break's defense, there's only one left with obviously big fake boobs.    Z's booty shorts are a little much fersure.    The rest of the girls represent pretty much how young women dress on the golf course today - nothing too out of the ordinary.

Or they are really stupid. Avoiding a 25% chance of elimination is huge. You would at least have to really think about it. Even if you are better than the other girls by a couple of strokes, your one bad swing from ending up in the elimination challenge and then over 2 holes chance plays a huge role.

Anyone else think Yani looked a bit stiff out there as far as interacting with her team. I don't know if that is largely a language or cultural issue. They really need to get Lexi (I know she isn't an adams golfer) out there so all the contestants would have to fawn over someone 5+ years younger than they are. Or Mogran Pressel. She is weepy enough to fit right in

Too me it looks like the golf talent is at an all time low but I have only watched the last 5 or 6. Maybe once the bottom half is eliminated it will look better but it seems like the previous years had more future tours members while this one has cactus tour ones.

Yani was out of her element, these girls appear more concerned about looking hot than hitting golf balls, Yani is the complete opposite.  Yani doesn't seem to care much about her appearance and looking girly.

I don't blame Z for taking the immunity but given how Anya was hitting the ball she should have held on to the 15 points and taken her chances.  I understand the pressure is intense but two of the girls missed the green and the other was almost 20' from the hole, not really the level of competition she should be worried about if she hopes to win.  The girls were just jealous she had the chance to buy her way out of the challenge but as others said they would have taken immunity too if given the option.

Two weeks and two hotties gone, the level of golf better improve or no one is going to watch the rest of the season.

Pretty entertaining episode last night.  Some of the golf shots hit were a little scary though...

[SVTGolfer]

Well at least one of two of the annoying chicks is gone. I couldn't stand Shannons voice... Now if we can just get rid of that train wreck Zaka...

[mpeck24]

Natalia and Zakiya are my favorites, not to win it all necessarily lol but my favorites :D

[Double Bogey]

Watched it last night... anyone else think that the level of golf is quite poor?  Anyways, I knew who went home after seeing Shannon's face.  She is quite a puffy face after boo hooing.  Maybe it was the fact that I knew who went home, but I thought the last episode was boring and just a terrible display of golf.  And that is coming from a high capper.

I'm definitely questioning my commitment to watching this show, not much good or even decent golf to get your arms around if things dont warm up soon I'll stop watching for sure. Too much hype, trash talk, I am great talk, all the other girls are crap talk in the first show that introduced the competitors so I was unable to get past the first 5 minutes so I deleted it. There certainly seemed like there were better golfers present on past shows of Big Break.So I'm hoping beyond hope that things will improve in the next espisode.

This ^^^^. I understand the GC realizes their audience is mostly male and that we enjoy the hotties, but are they telling us these are the best golfers they could find? I think it was the elimination challenge where they had to play the 414yd par 4 twice and niether one could get the ball on the green in two? Hell, it's not even like they were missing it right or left, they couldn't even hit the ball far enough to get there from about 175yd out. If I want to see somebody hit into the water and not get on in regulation, I'll just grab my sticks and go play.

Why do people like Zakira!?!?!? She's disgusting!!!

Allison's voice was also stuffy sounding so I thought she got the boot myself. I thought Shannon was a better player but all this boo hooping is annoying.

Why do you think she's disgusting? What has she done to you?

I like her and I hope she wins. She's a tough competitor.

Good player so far, and best body to look at it, IMO.

That's what I'm saying. She is gorgeous to me.

[bplewis24]

I don't know why Z is disgusting either.  I don't find her the most attractive, but she seems likable to me.  There are a couple other girls I find more attractive.

The golf may be poor right now, but I feel like that's because all of the poor players are getting most of the air-time since they are the ones being filtered into the elimination challenges.
