I loved Jeanne's cart path shot out of the bunker on the Par 5 in the immunity challenge.

That was a tough shot, huh? Sitting on a steep upslope in the bunker with water right in front of you and a tree right above you. As soon as I saw Dana's drive land there I was waiting to see how they would play that shot. Almost impossible to advance very far forward, can not go too high because of the tree, and if you leave it short its in the hazard. They got a lucky cart path bridge bounce.

Yeah, I thought they did a great (somewhat lucky) job recovering from a tough situation. No easy way out of that situation, for sure.

She definitely keeps herself in good condition. But what was up with the Funky Chicken dance she was doing in the bunker?
She must have taken lesson from Julie Inkster at the Solheim Cup :D

That was a tough episode for sure. You are teammates, then when you don't get immunity, you have to play against them for immunity. Rough.

I was shocked that Dana got eliminated. She was my #2 behind Becky. I'm just gald Becky's back, or I'd have been WAY off the mark.

I really don't know why Julie doesn't think Ashley is about the best there. I'm sure there's more to it off camera, but Julie needs a wakeup call. Ashley is the gal to beat.

Having Ashley and Becky paired together was a little harsh for the rest. Nothing like having the top 2 versus.

Kim has absolutely surprised me. I don't know how she's doing it, but she survives from show to show. She has NEVER won an immunity challenge and has gone to the elimination round in every episode. That is just not fair. Dana won 3 immunities and a car, and now she's gone. Maybe she got a little soft with all those immunities.

Kim had to see she was paired with Julie and said to herself, "Well, I wonder what we'll be doing in the elimination challenge?"

I hope she gains immunity next week. Just one time while she's there would help make her time there a bit more relaxing. At least for a day. I still will be shocked beyond belief if she wins the thing.

You just KNOW the other 4 girls had to be seething. Becky comes back on the show the night before, then that morning gets paired with Ashley and gains immunity. I'm sure the other 4 were really hoping Becky was going to be the next one to go, thus the whole "bringing her back" thing would be a wash.

It does get more interesting every week. We just may see a catfight before this is all said and done. I'm looking forward to All Access tonight.

If Ashley's in the mix, you had better do it on the floor; most beds can't stand up to that kind of abuse. :D And whatever you do, don't let her get you in a leg lock; with those thighs, your head would explode like a ripe grape.

My first pick would definitely be the chick from Tampa FL Katie, then Christina, then Jeanne, then 14 beer, then any of the others.

Yep - that's my "Order of Merit". I have try to find Katie. I live in Tampa. She lives in Tampa. She's hot, and plays to a single-digit handicap. I'm...oh never mind.

Becky is gone again.

Loved the way Julie put the screws to Ashley. I though for sure this would be the night Ashley went home, but Becky let the game slip through her fingers again.

Kim hanging in there again.

My pick, Jeanne, is still there and looking strong.

Julie the scrapper stikes again. Unbelievable short game got her immunity and pissed off Ashley immensly. Gotta love the way this girl plays golf.

I can not wait for more background on the growing feud between Julie and Ashley on All Access tonight!

Just what we need: another short, fat chick on the LPGA. :D

Come one, Kim and Jeanne!! You're the only lookers left! Kick some butt!

When it gets down this far, I guess it makes sense to emphasize the short game. After all, it is the short game that sets apart the greats from the goods.

Still, I don't really like all the emphasis on just short game with only 5 gals left. I think they should be playing holes to determine who the best player is. By only doing short game shots, shots inside 100 yards and around the greens, I think they are giving Julie too much of an advantage.

Admittedly, she is a short hitter. Throughout the comp, she has consistently been hitting woods, or hybrids where the other gals have hit irons. She was hitting 3-wood to the grid when Nikki was hitting 4-iron. (None of these girls can hit a 4-iron like me. LMAO!)

That said, short hitters NEED great short games. And to be good enough to make a Tour, even the Futures, Julie must have a great short game. Undoubtedly she never reaches a Par 5 in two. Thus I bet she's always laying up to 100 or thereabouts.

That said, she absolutely DOMINATED last night, and it wasn't even close. She hit the shots when she had to, and just crushed. I felt bad for Kim. She kept having to follow Julie KNOWING she most likely needed to hole it to not get a letter.

Kim played her mulligan EXACTLY correctly. It was the only time a second shot would have mattered to avoid another letter. Every other time Julie was snugged.

Julie did exactly the right thing in just heaping letters on Ashley. Then she said the absolute correct thing saying, "I gave her the letters because we all know she's got game." I'm glad she took the high road. She could have just told the truth and said, "I gave Ashley the letters because she's a pompous bitch. I don't like her, and when she's gone, I plan on laughing and pointing my finger at her. **** that bitch." :)

I was absolutely surprised she didn't put the extra letter on Becky. You can kind of tell that Julie and Becky are pals. Still, Becky was gone once, and really it's only fair to try to get her back into the elimination.

I imagine there could be a physical confrontation coming up. I don't think it'd be appropriate, really, it's golf after all and you should let your game do your talking, but these two just don't like each other anymore. If they ever did.

Kim should have chosen the TOUGHEST flop shot she could find for her shot. All the gals failed just miserably. I LOVED how Kim is staying in the moment. She didn't know that she locked it with the 2nd 5 pointer. You can tell she is taking it one shot at a time. She's not saying to herself, "This is over if I put it close and make a 5." She's not adding that extra pressure to herself. Good for her, and it may explain why she's still around.

I just don't know how long Kim can hang around without getting Immunity at least ONCE. But she's in the final four, and I highly doubt ANYONE, including the players, producers, and audience would have, COULD HAVE, predicted her to go this far.

All Access should be interesting tonight. I feel bad for Jeanne and Kim because neither of them have shown any allegiance to either side, the Ashley side or the Julie side. They are kind of caught in the middle just trying to be nice and tolerant. It can't be much fun.

I hope those two get paired together in a team comp next week. Not much team comp left most likely, but I could see them playing a 9-hole team best-ball match or something and the losers having to play off against each other for elimination. Rough and cruel if that's how it goes down.
