Player rankings after week 8 (week 7 ranking in parens):
5 (5) – Lori “Stinkeye” Atsedes – talks a Don Donatello game and suffers from the same flaw – overconfidence. Got lucky that Kim got nervous. Has she been in an elimination yet? When she gets in one, will she choke?
4 (2) – Christina “The Cocky Kanuke” Lecuyer moves down two spots. She sank a long birdie putt to stay in the competition but that swing can’t hold up under pressure. It’s too loose. First player to hit a terrible shot on the show, except maybe Cirbie. Christina topped a fairway wood big time in last week’s elimination but managed to survive.
3 (6) Susan “Dippin’ Dots” Choi – Sophie was scared to play her and she whacked Samantha. We’ve got to give her more respect. If she puts on a good showing in episode nine, I’ve got to move her to number 1.
1 (1) – Kim “Here Kitty, Kitty” Welch has to share the numero uno spot after Stinkeye trounced her. Plus why hit a 4 iron into a par 5? Poor decision-making and putting is killing her. Needs to get hot with the putter soon to make it to the end.
1 (3) – “Sexy” Sophie Sandolo easily vanquished Christina. Where do we put her? Back on top? – except she was scared to play Susan. She’ll share the top spot with Kitty Welch.
I predict Lori will not avoid the elimination round, and her overconfidence will lead her home.
I’m getting a lot of people coming to the site looking for news of rumors about a Big Break Ka’anapali winner or who the winner is. Did someone leak out the winner’s name early? My guess is that it’s going to be Susan Choi. She’s not long off the tee but she’s got all the shots.
