review: Natalie Gulbis show, Episode 3

I turned on the Natalie show with some pretty low expecations after last week. But I was very pleasantly surprised. Much, much better.

1. Papa Gulbis teaching Natalie how to drive stick in a rented Dodge Viper was the best part for me. I must confess, though: I love sports cars, so I would've loved the entire show devoted to this segment. And any air time with Papa Gulbis is entertaining, and he delivered again. If you've ever learned how to drive stick or had the pleasure of "letting out" a sports car, you would enjoy Natalie's spin around with the Viper. She's a quick learner, apparently.

2. I was wrong. Good friend Cristie Kerr did make it on the show, sharing a Monday at the spa with Nat. The gossiping was great, particularly hearing Natalie and Cristie talking about the men's tour and some of the men from their junior golf days. The behind the scenes banter was made even more dramatic by Cristie's "reading" of her horoscope of "winning the Michelob Open" -- which she in fact did later that week. Good moment.

3. Natalie's visit to the Best Damn Sports Show was also pretty entertaining. Is it true, though, she didn't know who Arsenio Hall was?

4. Bogey: I found the entire bit with Danielle from Big Break pretty annoying. Natalie found her hilarious, but I found her unbearable.

Grade: A

I'm going to differ with you. This show is TERRIBLE. Natalie is cute and all, but the show stinks.

Yo Mulligan,

"The gossiping was great" ???

Your slip is showing...play your next round from the red markers.

And, if you have a job, get a 2nd one because you've got way too much time on your hands.

I think mediaguru and putmedownfora6 are being a bit harsh. I didn't see the other episodes, so I don't know how bad or good they were, but yesterday's episode to me was pretty cool.

Dudes, let's be real. It's just a reality show.

Recommendation to mediaguru and downfora6: do what I do. I've got my bottle of Bud and just kick back. what's wrong with you guys? the show is bleeping hilarious, in an unintentional way of course!

what a dumb show. And honestly, she isn't that good looking! I watched the swimsuit episode and really she has a big head (literally)

my question is why are the people who are complaining so much that they don't like the show even still watching it on Episode 3??????? that seems to me to be the stupidest part.

I give the show a few more weeks before it is canned. I don't see what the fuss is about Natalie, she is a nice girl but honestly, they could find better looking golfers elsewhere. That b**ch from the big break was the icing on the cake and seeing her one more time powder her very vain face madse me want to throw up. As for the content of the show. they should toss Natalies dad on a Harley and send him out to public courses with a camera and that would be interesting.
