Alisons | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 09:23 am     I watched - I am SO turning into a Sunny Garcia fan! As usual, he popped a couple of people when there were minor inconveniences/challenges to him. But man, can that guy SURF! As to what happened - Holly and Chelsea both got eliminated in their heat. Myles and Sunny both won their heats, and will face each other in their next heat. The waves at Sunset beach were HUGE especially during Sunny's heat - 25 ft! They are arguing over native Hawaiian's participation in the events - Sunny says, join the tour like I did and earn your spot, Myles says open it up and let them in. Myles seems a little dimwitted in that he doesn't understand that Sunny is against it. Myles thinks that just because Sunny is Hawaiian, he should agree. |
Jan | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 03:47 pm     Thanks Ailsons for the summary. I missed it as I was watching ...I shudder to say it....Fame |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 05:10 pm     I only caught half of this show the last night. Who is Chelsea? Are there three girls? BTW, I saw a photo spread of Veronica Kay in "Stuff" magazine - I think it's the one with Kelly Hu on the cover. She looks SO much more attractive in the magazine - I'd be tempted to say she's smokin'. On tv, she looks like Plain Jane. I couldn't believe that they said she was a model. "Stuff" magazine really changed my mind about that! Alisons, I can't see how Sunny's anger problem and his egotistical attitude would endear you to him, but good for you. I think Sunny is a terrific surfer, but I don't approve of how he treats others and how he feels superior to everyone. |
Tagurit | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 06:16 pm     Chelsea is the third woman surfer and she is from Australia. I believe she has won several titles. Can't remember them though. I would like to know what happened to the fourth guy in the house. I haven't seen him surf yet. We've been inundated with Myles and Sunny and a bit of Damian but not the other one. I can't even remember his name because they barely show him. lol I think Holly showed great restraint regarding the whole hotel room fiasco. I hope the Roxy girls took care of the bill. I knew there was going to be trouble when she used her credit card and then left because she got ditched again by Veronica. |
Alisons | Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 05:43 pm     Isn't the fourth guy Keith or Kevin or some name with a "K"? I believe they have mentioned him in passing a couple of times, but no real storyline yet. BTW, it occurred to me that the triple crown must have been awarded by now and the results posted somewhere, I am going to see if I can find them online. |
Laura11103 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:41 am     Sunny really needs to get a hold of his anger. I really like him, he's an amazing surfer and I think he's a nice guy, but he's so egotistical that he thinks he can just punch people without consequence. I can see him easily going to far one day and ending up in jail. Thinking back to that first episode (or 2nd) when that patron in the restaurant was arguing with him, funny how that guy managed to not get punched but these other guys who really don't provoke Sunny at all, are getting punched dead in the face... Funny how there's no huge discussion about the rights and wrongs of Sunny's actions (like the road rules thread)... I guess Sunny does what he wants and everyone just backs away. |
Squaredsc | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:45 am     can't comment cause i don't watch this either. oops wait i did see the last 3 mins and thought he had nice legs. |
Jan | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:49 am     Laura I used to watch this show but have pretty much stopped now because I am so disgusted with how he gets away with punching people and they apologize to the camera for inadvertently provoking him. I have to wonder...does he punch his wife and kid when he gets mad at them? |
Laura11103 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 10:08 am     I don't blame you Jan. If Sunny punches one more person this season, I might have to stop watching too. I'd have to think he probably has hit his wife... somebody who immediately resorts to violence seems like a person who would resort to violence with almost anyone, and every couple fights. I'm really loving Holly, she's so pretty and sweet, a real tough chick, but sensitive too. She's a real step above the rest of the girls IMO. |
Retired | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:56 am     I watched once & was so totally turned off by Sunny's hitting people that I won't watch again. I don't know what's worse--his hitting or those that he's hitting allowing him to get away with it & taking his abuse. IMO he is a horrible role model no matter how talented he is. I hope he gets the help he so obviously needs to deal with his anger & entitlement issues. |
Alinthehouse | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:00 pm     The thing that gets me about Sunny's temper is the people he smacks do not see it coming. He seems to take pleasure out of cold-cocking them!! Seems kinda chicken sh** of him. I wonder if his temper is steriod induced. Buff, short tempered, and reacts before thinking. |
Laura11103 | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 02:02 pm     so does anyone watch this show? lol, I do! I still like it a lot. Poor everyone in the house, they all freakin lost! Guess there's not much to really discuss.... first episode where Sunny didn't sock anyone though, I'd call that progress! |
Tagurit | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 05:15 pm     Oh wow! I totally forgot about it on Wednesday. Haven't a clue what I was doing that night either. Must be early sign of senility. lol I am going to have to make sure to catch the rerun on Sunday. Laura, it must of been amazing to watch an episode that Sunny doesn't hit someone! That is too bad everyone lost. Bummer. I'll most likely comment when I remember to watch this on Sunday. |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 11:35 am     New episode tonight... but no one seems to care.. lol, it's probably almost over, I mean, no one got in the triple crown contest so what's next? |
Beachcomber88 | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 03:59 pm     I care Laura! Still don't really understand how this whole Triple Crown thing works. If you mess up in a competition (like all of them last week), then are you completely out of it? Is it a cumulative standing for all three contests? Very confusing. And why is it that when Holly and Veronica lost, it was their last competition of the year? Is there a "cut" that you have to make? The preview shows something about the fourth guy finally surfing in this week's third competition. How come he didn't get to enter the first two? Guess we just don't understand the whole surfing world! Disappointed to see very little of Sunny's wife last week. I think she's smokin'. |
Realitynut | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 04:28 pm     Hey now, lookin' at Sunny's wife will get you a whack on the head. |
Tagurit | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 06:05 pm     Anything interesting happen the first half hour? I missed it due to mowing the lawn. Sunny was quite amazing. At least one of those waves I didn't think he would still be surfing. Figured he would of fallen. It is amazing to see them surf out from the middle of the waves. There is definitely a family connection to the Pipeline with Myles. Can't believe next week's episode is the last! Seems that Sunny will lose his temper again! Imagine that! lol I am really going to miss all the surfing. It would be nice if they kind of explained the whole scoring and competition to those of us that don't have a clue. Hopefully there will be Boarding House 2 and maybe we can be enlightened then. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 07:23 am     Beach, you ask very good questions, unfortunately I have no idea of the answers, lol, you're right, it's all very confusing. I have last night's show on tape and will watch it tonight.... I'm glad at least a few others watch too :-) |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 08:40 am     After last night's ep, I think I understand things a little better. But just a bit! The fourth guy that we haven't seen, Danny Fuller, the guy with the big tatoo on his chest - he's not a surf professional. He doesn't enter the contests. Sounds like he's just a surf bum that has a local reputation. That's how he got picked by all the other surfers to be in the Pipeline competition. Why the producers would pick a guy to be in the house when he wasn't even entered in the first two competitions and potentially not even the third (if he wasn't picked) is beyond me. The "double cover-up" that he had on his last wave was so rad, it had me stoked! LOL. Still don't understand the whole triple crown, but I would guess that it's cumulative points. That's why the announcer said that Myles had no shot at winning anymore. Looks like we get to enjoy one more Sunny pummeling next week. I'm curious too who won, but I don't want to Google search to avoid spoiling the suspense. Sounds like this was a 2002 competition, probably November/December, since they said Myles was the defending champion and the year was 2001. |
Laura11103 | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 08:34 am     I finally caught the show. Danny was amazing how he pulled through that wave. I guess they somehow knew he'd get in the competition, otherwise what would've been the point of having him in the house like you said Beachcomber. I thought last week that Sunny was out, but I guess not, I'm to tired at night to really try and figure this out, lol. But we do know for sure the ladies are all out of it. I must say as I do in most of my posts and I love Holly, she's so beautiful, such a great gal. I missed the previews.. Sunny hits someone again? Oh boy, that guy's insane. But you know, it seems to be the way of the surfing world, someone pisses you off, you punch them, totally acceptable, did you see that scene on the beach where that one guy punched the other cuz he cut him off on the wave? Seems barbaric to me, but they all seem cool with it. I've enjoyed this show but am ready for it to come to a close. |
Beachcomber88 | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 01:33 pm     By the lack of traffic, it looks as if everyone was pretty indifferent to this show. Season finale and no posts? I actually enjoyed it. I was kind of surprised to see that none of the show's "stars" did well in any of the tournaments. Guess it's reality tv - can't predict the outcome. Why all of a sudden the change in Sunny's demeanor? Just by living in the house with other surfers and cameras he's now a totally new calm Sunny? Holly and her man hunting also was a bit strange to watch. Why did she get so much air time in the last episode? We hardly saw VK at all. |
Realitynut | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 07:55 pm     I really enjoyed this show. I loved watching everyone surfing. My hubby was watching some sports show one night and Sonny Garcia was on it, and I said, hey that's Sonny Garcia. He was pretty impressed that I knew who he was LOLOL. He is still trying to figure out how I got so knowledgeable about surfing. He obviously didn't know the show was on!! |
Pottedplant | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:39 am     oh I loved this show too. Started off thinking Sunny was a hot head, but the editing really mellowed him out to be a warm & fuzzy characther by the end. I am glad they included updates at the very end. I also disliked Danny Fuller & his grating voice at first, but grew to like him. Holly is a great surfer & nice woman |
Gina8642 | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:07 am     Did anyone notice that VK (or whatever her initial name was) made it onto the final of Surf Girls as well. She managed to lose to the girl who won the Surf Girl's comp. Two reality shows - thought that was pretty funny. |
Alinthehouse | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 10:17 am     I thought the show was a great. I hope there will be a second show next year. The surfing was amazing to watch. I only wish there were more surfing programs on tv. It would be nice to be able to follow the ASP World Tour, and actually see the surfing. Reading the results on the internet just doesn’t have the same effect. At the U.S. Open, in Huntington Beach, Ca., last week, we were able to meet and speak to a lot of the surfers. They were very nice. Not once did any of them seem to be bothered by my child talking to them. Holly Beck was very kind. We ran into her early one morning on Main St.. She took the time to speak with my daughter. She didn’t just talk about herself. She was asking my daughter questions, and showed a genuine interest (A big thank you to Holly for making my kid’s day). Latter in the day she met Chelsea. She was very nice as well. (Congrats to Chelsea for winning the women’s div. of the U.S. Open). None of the surfers we met seemed to have the arrogance that an entertainer/actor has. What a great group of people! |
