Big Break Reunion spoiled Big Break VI

[bruinduke]

Was it just me?

Am I late to the party? I thought I was watching the first airing of the episode with the final 2 guys and gals playing heads up today 7 Pacific.

Next thing I know they are talking about the next Big Break show with a reunion of past participants and they flash one of the 4 players playing tonight as a participant. Given that the show is about giving past players a "second chance" did the Golf Channel just blow the ending to Big Break VI?

Sorry to vent, but was just hoping to watch today's show without knowing the outcome...

Damn you beat me to it. I seen Bri on the preview and I told my girlfriend they just ruined the ending. Atleast there is someone out there that thinks like I do.

A funny thing happened on the way to the Bridget vs. Bri championship match on "The Big Break VI:" The Golf Channel apparently gave away the identity of the winner.

Or did they?

 

Here's the deal: During Tuesday night's episode of "Big Break VI," we saw a promo for the next installment, "Big Break VII." It was interesting to see, because it's the first mention of the format for the next version of the series. And that format is a reunion show - competitors from past "Big Breaks" getting back together to take another shot.

 

As the voiceover progressed, a series of photos of past competitors flashed on the screen, implying that these are the golfers who will be participating in "Big Break VII."

 

And who was one of those golfers featured in the promo? Bri Vega, who takes on Bridget Dwyer in the "Big Break VI" championship match. My first thought was, "Doh! They just told us that Bri loses in the finals!"

Pstar, may want to edit if anyone missed the commercial.

 

GB, thanks for the link to the article. I guessed it worked if it was purely publicity timing...

nice job of idiot editing by golf channell.

I was kinf of hoping since TGC has a big PGA Tour schedule for 2007 with the addition of all kinds of related shows they would not have any time slots for another Big Break.

 

Oh well, no such luck. Still holding out for TGC to rename the show the Big Bore.

Well, the way I see it. It's a reunion show so any winner or losers can join. But you're right, It does send a message that a finalist didn't make it.

How 'bout changing the name to "The Big Hack" .... they could change their slogan from the PGA's "these guys are good" to "these guys really SUCK!"... because they really do!!! I havent seen so many balls hit o.b., into hazards, or into other fairways since I played with Judge Smails (cool)

They played the same commercial last week and it has been discussed in the other BB thread as well as every other golf board.

 

Am I the only person who things that Bridgette does certain things because she knows it puts Bri off of her game? It makes me laugh like crazy (cool)
