Big Break Palm Beaches Discussion Thread

I don't see a thread on this yet so I'd thought I'd start one. What do you guys think? This season looks to be far better than the last few, I can't wait.

What makes you think so?  I haven't caught any of the previews.

Well I watched the meet the players and everyone seemed pretty cool. And there doesn't really seem to be anyone annoying like Anthony was last season. Also it's not coed this time, not that I have anything against the ladies I just don't like the coed seasons that I have seen. Yea those two brothers have a bunch of trick shot videos, I think they will be interesting to watch and see how well they can actually play. Now hopefully they added a host that can add to the show, last season Page was terrible.

Anthony was the only person that was worth watching last season, IMO.  I really liked him and hoped he'd win.  I didn't watch the finale b/c Jimmy and Toph were way too annoying.

Really, he was entertaining but he was just childish and arrogant, I really liked Jimmy and wanted him to win.

Different strokes.

I felt Anthony was one of the only true authentic competitors.  Jimmy was boring/not entertaining in my book.  He didn't really bring anything, IMO.

I can agree with that, the whole show was just boring and un-eventful other than the stuff Anthony did.

I really hope they have some parity, too.  The season they had Sadena and Jackie, besides Mary, it was so obvious they were far and away the best golfers.  So, when they got to the finals and it was Jackie and Fiamma, it was so anticlimactic.

Exactly. OT here: but it dawned on me how similar the Symetra Tour and BB were for Sadena and Jackie. Sadena was hot and cold. Won two tour events I think. But also missed cuts. Jackie never won (I think) but was typically competitive week to week. Both styles worked to get them their LPGA cards for 2015 by being top 10 money list on Symetra. But Jackie's consistency is what was needed to win BB. You can't have crappy streaks or you're gonna get picked off. On tour though, I think it pays off to be flashy and streaky (to an extent). Anyway, I'll start reading up on the cast for this bb. Hope it's not a dud like the last one.

Hmm, :offtopic: but... [spoiler]I wonder if Jackie was happy here because she figured she was well on her way to getting her LPGA card: Nah, it was probably because she was able to take a picture with this ridiculously good looking guy. B-) [/spoiler]

Anthony was obnoxious.  If he was a true competitor he wouldn't have choked.  I agree the show would have been intolerably boring without him but in general I don't like loudmouths who can't back up what they say.

I think he was arrogant and didn't care for most of the other competitors and wasn't afraid to show it. A demeanor like that is going to put off some people so I'm not surprised his brashness would rub people the wrong way. You make it seem like he got beat in the middle of the series rather than the second to last show. I think he performed very well and did indeed, "back up," what he said. I personally think Jimmy got lucky to win and, tbh, I think you need luck to win. For example, Fiamma got into the finals, not because she was one of the best two competitors (at best she was fourth best), but because she got lucky. Sometimes luckboxes do better than you'd expect. It happens.

I watched the preview show detailing the contestant BIO's and YES..................I am looking forward to this season.   This season looks like a good mix of talent and personality and I am sure I will enjoy watching the season unfold!!

Bring it!!  I'm ready...LOL

[BuckeyeNut]

Now hopefully they added a host that can add to the show, last season Page was terrible.

I didn't mind Page....Tom Abbott is more annoying to me more than anything else.

I like Paige too ... she's getting better the more camera time she gets.    Abbott isn't bad, but can be irritating ...

[BuckeyeNut]

Abbott is actually a very accomplished player......

As a commentator...... he is like a fingernail on a chalkboard!    I see David Duvall is doing Golfcenter.......how about him as a host???   YEA!!!!???
