[color=#323232][size=4][indent=1]Tally and Kenoyer are a surprise, I thought we had ruled them out based on tweets during the two week span, but I guess not, or they were allowed to tweet for some reason, possibly since they were on the "currently airing at the time" show GC felt like they needed to allow them to keep up with SM...[/size][/color][/indent]

Brian Cooper, Chad Schultze and Wil Lowery were guys I hated in their seasons, so that sucks.

Should be fun though!

Go Isaac and Lepp!!!

There were more twists than I expected. Isaac Sanchez is the name that stunned me. He seemed like an obvious pick. I checked him first among the guys. His twitter was so active during early June it all but ruled him out. Obviously they allowed some players to continue to use social media, or the players found a way around it.

The twitter gaps in many cases turned out to be coincidental, like Andy Walker.

Oren Geri was another one I checked since he was so unique. If I remember correctly, he didn't have a twitter account.

I was amazed that three returned from Big Break Mexico but not the one we expected in Liebelei. But she had a lingering shoulder problem according to her twitter so perhaps it's best. Chad was another one who is so inactive on twitter that the two week gap didn't seem to mean much because he has so many similar holidays.

I was disappointed there wasn't a name from an earlier Big Break.

I hate reality shows and make fun of the Wife when she watches them. I am now a Hypocrite because of BB Mexico. I was really pulling for Liebelei early on...

So is Lepp going to be allowed to do his "saucer pass" chip shot now that it has been ruled an illegal hit? I would guess no since they follow the USGA rules on the show. Wonder how that will change his short game.
