We are on to another season of The Big Break and this time it takes place at Prince Edward Island. I didn’t cover the first episode but suffice it to say that a real tool was eliminated, a Mr. Robert Read. Robert was waiting to see who he would be facing in the first elimination challenge and said words to the effect of “The lion awaits patiently prior to attacking his next victim.” This guy couldn’t be serious and then he was canned in the elimination challenge.
I was really intrigued when The Big Break started with its first challenge on the first show – a three foot putt. Sure enough at least three of the contestants missed it. If memory serves Mr. Read, Eugene, Kim and Brenda (I believe) blew the knee knocker. What a way to start the competition. I’ll be very interested to see how it finishes.
William “Football” Thompson was the next to depart. I’m sure the producers were kicking themselves for losing the personality of the show. I bet that they find some way for Football to play his way back into the show. The guy brings too many more viewers to the show. Besides, he is an excellent foil to the Don Donatello of Season 11, Mr. Brian Skatell, who like Mr. Donatello will fold under all the self-induced pressure and over-reaching expectations.
Of course, The Big Break producers had to sex it up with the likes of Blair O’Neal and Nicole Sikora. Gerina Mendoza ain’t too shabby neithers but none hold a candle to Kim “Sex Kitty” Welch,
Meow!
I don’t see Blair lasting too long and Nicole has been a bit shaky as well in the first two episodes. The golfing class of the women appears to lie with Gerina and Caroline Larsson.
Time will reveal all!

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
