Big Break Sandals Resort week 7 is entitled “Know Your Enemies.” If you’ve missed any of the previous episodes, check out the Big Break Sandals Resort episodes recap.
The episode beings at a quiet breakfast table with the five remaining contestants enjoying a silent breakfast. The immunity challenge this week is a three shot challenge, where players will alternate shots from three different locations. The first player to score three points wins the challenge and is safe and on to the next show. Also, the winner will receive a save/send card and spend the rest of the afternoon at the Sandals Resorts Red Lane spa.
The first location was a shot from the fairway around 90 yards from the flag. Seema started off the event and hits her first shot way short. Taryn went second and also landed it shot. Carling was third and overshot the target, but with some crazy backspin the ball finished in the circle. Lili went fourth and also landed it in the circle. Sara was last and missed.
The second location was a sidehill-uphill shot. Taryn went first and missed. Carling went second and scored. Lili went third and scored with the ball about two inches from rolling out of the circle. Sara went fourth and rolled the ball into the circle and then back out. Seema was last to go and scored!
The last pin location was a greenside bunker shot. Going into this shot, Carling and Lili are tied with two points with Carling up first. She hit a very nice shot and landed it about three feet from the flag. Making the shot, she’s eliminated Taryn, Seema and Sara and has put some serious pressure on Lili. Unfortunately, Lili’s shot sailed over the green and landed in the rough, giving Carling the win.
With the save/send card in hand, Carling marches up and down the range, spinning the card, deliberating on whether or not to send a strong player to the elimination challenge or save a weaker player she knew she could beat down the road. She ended up saving Taryn, which I think was a bad move. I think she should’ve sent Lili or Sara to the elimination challenge. Now, rather than having a better shot at eliminating one of your top rivals, you’ve left the weakest player (Seema) to play against two strong players like Lili and Sara, who, I think will eat her alive. The end result is that you have two tough contenders still left, bearing a slight grudge.
So whilst Carling and Taryn spend the afternoon at the spa, the remaining contestants of Big Break Sandals Resort head to the second immunity challenge.
The second immunity challenge is a round robin matchup where each player will draw a golf ball from a bag. Each golf ball is numbered 1, 2, or 3. The order of the matchups are as follows…
1 vs 2
2 vs 3
3 vs 1
The player in the first positon gets to choose where they to hole out from. The player who wins the match gets two points and if they tie, each player gets one point. At the end of the matches, the player with the highest score is safe from elimination. Seema drew #1, Sara #2 and Lili #3.
The first matchup between Sara and Seema takes place 110 yards out from the hole with a pretty intimidating bunker inbetween. Both players first shots left them with a 30 footer from the fringe. Both missed their second shots, Seema’s about three inches from the hole and Sara’s about four feet. Both made their third shots and tied.
The next matchup is between Sara and Lili. Sara chose a freaking bunker shot from 179 yards out. Both players overshot the green, Sara landing in the same spot as before and Lili leaving herself a wedge 2nd shot. Lili landed her second shot about five feet past the hole. Sara left her second shot inches away. With a tap in three for Sara, the pressure is on for Lili. She sank the putt, tieing the match with Sara.
The final match is between Lili and Seema and Lili also elects to play from the bunker at 160 yards out. Both players had a poor first shot, Seema left it way short, leaving herself a second shot over the bunker whilst Lili overshot the green, again, giving herself a wedge back. Seema hit a great wedge shot and landed it about five feet from the flag. Lili’s second shot ended four feet below the pin. Seema’s putt lipped out and Lili nailed it, winning the challenge and sending Sara and Seema to elimination.
Big Break Sandals Resort Week Seven’s elimination challenge is a two hole stroke play on the par 4 eighth and the par 5 ninth. Seema started things off with a nice tee shot landing in the fairway. Sara one-upped her landing it in the center of the fairway about 20 yards past. Seema’s second shot landed short on the fringe and Sara’s shot landed short ON the green but with enough backspin to roll it right back OFF the green ending up with the same shot as Seema. Crazy.. Seema chipped it to within a foot and Sara putted it too hard but straight, hitting the flag and stopping about two feet from the hole. Both sank the next putt scoring par.
On the par 5 ninth, both cranked beautiful drives, center of the fairway with Seema outdriving Sara. Sara’s second shot landed center of the fairway, 85 yards from the flag whilst Seema’s ended 77 yards away, in the rough, next to a bunker, giving her a very tough third shot. Sara’s third shot landed on the green twenty feet past the hole. Seema had a difficult shot, with her heels in the bunker and her toes on a ledge, her stance was very unstable thus, not surprising, her shot rolled off the back of the green on the fringe. Her fourth shot ended about six feet from the flag. Sara’s fourth shot stopped one inch from the hole, giving her a tap-in par, putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Seema. She missed the putt and is going home.
With her luck all used up, Seema Sadekar is the seventh player to be sent home from Big Break Sandals Resort.
