Big Break Episode 2

Here we go again! Episode 2 of the Disney season of Big Break opens at Champions stadium, spring-training home of the Atlanta Braves. Simple concept for the first immunity challenge, home run derby. Each homer is a point, you get 2 outs. The catch is that they have to use restricted flight balls. (Obviously, even I could hit a pitching wedge out of a baseball stadium with a regular ball.) The show was stolen by Tony, one of the brothers, who got in a groove and knocked 22 out of the stadium. He could have had more, but got egged into aiming at left field instead of right, and missed one. The only person to come close was Vincent, with 19. I don't think anybody else broke 10.

Did anybody else notice the caption that said Tony's brother Gipper averaged 360 yards per drive on the Nationwide Tour last year? I realize that this guy is crazy-long, but this average is a bit misleading, as it is calculated over two rounds, and only four holes. You can see all of Gipper's stats here. But hey, I'd love to crank one 360, let alone average that. Later during the the elimination challenge Vincent comments that Gipper hit a gap wedge from 145 yards, in the rough, in the rain. Ridiculous.

The second immunity challenge was an up-and-down from from the bunker match-play event. The players got to choose their opponent for a little mind game aspect. Nothing terribly exciting resulted.

The elimination challenge didn't see too many great shots, as the goal was to hit into a 30-yard circle on the green from three different locations, but it had a ton of bad shots. Angry-guy-Blake and Susan-Lucci-is-my-mommy-Andreas battled to see who could fall apart the worst, with Andreas coming away the winner (read loser). So Andreas goes home, and we are left with the possibility of Angry-guy-Blake committing felony assault with a lob wedge.
