I missed out on Big Break Sandals Resort week 1, but a quick recap, Elena Robles was sent home after winning the first part of the elimination challenge and saving Kelly Sheehan who in turn did not return the favor by saving Elena in the following challenge.
A pretty lame move if you ask me, but then again, I’m not competing for a chance to play on the pro tour and an Adams golf sponsorship..
If you’ve missed any of the episodes, you can catch up at the Big Break Sandals Resort episodes recap.
Big Break Sandals Resort week 2 opened up with Carling Coffing winning the immunity challenge and after a good bit of tension building and card flipping, choosing to save Maiya Tanaka.
Just for the record, I’m pulling for Carling to win, I played with her in the 2nd Annual Future Stars Foundation Pro-am, which coincidentally, we won (with no help from me mind you..).
While Carling and Maiya were lounging by the pool in their bikini’s, sipping wine and pina coladas, the rest of the ladies proceeded to the the second immunity challenge which was a longest drive contest.
One of the hosts, Tom Abbot began stirring the pot by saying “I’ve got some bad news for you ladies, none of you made the cut.. in Carlings eyes.”
The ladies were paired up in a head to head challenge where the longest drive in the fairway wins, below are the results.
Stacey Bieber vs Kelly Sheehan
Kelly – 207
Stacey – 215
Taryn Durham vs Seema Sadekar
Taryn – 238
Seema – 230
Lili Alvarez vs Ryann O’Toole
Lili – off fairway
Ryann – 265
Sara Brown vs Chris Brady
Sara – 231
Chris – off fairway
The losers of the long drive challenge proceeded to the final elimination challenge where they competed in a three part challenge. They were hitting shots to the green on the 18ths hole at Sandals resort. On the green was one point, closer to the pin was two points and closest to the pin was three points.
The first location was 165 yards away and after the first location, Kelly Sheehan was in the elimination spot.
The second location was a slightly blind shot where you couldn’t see the green, just the flag from behind a hill. They didn’t mention the yardage, but it looked like it was about eh, 75 yards out. After all the shots, Kelly Sheehan remained in the elimination spot.
The third location, you had four shots, as long as the previous shot was on the green. Going into the third location, Lili was in the lead with eight points, followed closely by Chris and Seema who were tied at seven points and Kelly trailing with Five points.
The challenge ended with Lili and Chris tied for with 14 points and Seema, who missed the green short on her first shot with seven points and lastly, through some crazy karmic backlash, Kelly who missed her shot way left of the green with five points.
Kelly had an easy opportunity to stay in the game, but nerves got to her and now shes out. I wanted to see her stay in because shes an Orlando resident who teaches out of Reunion Resort.
Overall, my first impressions of the show wasn’t all that favorable. All the drama on the show is pretty nauseating and the addition of the Save/Send card has added a Survivor “alliance” element to the show, which I don’t really care for.
What are your impressions of the show and who do you think will win?
