The latest episode of Big Break V is airing now on The Golf Channel, by whose courtesy we share these screen grabs of our heroine golfers from their location in our favorite series: Turtle Bay, Hawaii.

However, the remaining golfers from this particular season, vying for a host of goodies that includes entre into an LPGA Tour event, are not featured.
Instead, it's a flashback of sorts as the eliminated golfers return for a chance to play their way back in to the Big Break.
One of those who survived the earlier ordeals, Ashley Prange, doesn't sound too keen on the notion. She wants to know if every one of them will receive the same opportunity.
Fair question.
As a dramatic device, it's mildly interesting. But, as a viewer caught up in the show, it's not terribly different from a rerun. You tune in to a show such as this one to see what happens to the survivors. You've already seen those who've been given the heave ho. Some you're sorry to see go, others, you can't wait to see eliminated again. In rapid-fire succession, the returning players are put through a series of single elimination challenges.
First test involves striping a shot 190-yards plus inside a marked grid. The player who takes most attempts out of three, goes home. Divina Delasin, struggling with a leg injury, is first out.
The good-byes are shorter and sweeter this time. Not even that, "bummer-dude-you've-just-been-eliminated" theme music accompanies.
There's a bunker test, and Jo D., the show's first casualty, goes by the wayside, though Becky Lucidi of Poway narrowly escapes after yet another round of shakey bunker play.
Four players left, and they must find a circled area around a pin 75 yards away. Katie Ruhe pulls off the improbable, and holes out on her last shot.
Nikki DiSanto, the actress-model, appears a tad stunned to have to follow that, and can't manage to find the target even once. "That sucks," she mutters, and is gone.
Ultimately, the episode comes down to a one-hole match between Ruhe and Lucidi on the par-5 18th on the Palmer Course.
Lucidi, whose full swing looks kinda funky if you ask, makes birde, Ruhe's left looking at her par putt, and, mercifully, the episode is over.
