No, it’s the kids doing the putting while their parents getting hit by stuff and falling over.

Needs to be put in the “garbage bin” of shows never to surface again!

Rob Riggle was one of the only good things about it but the chemistry with Shirvo just wasn’t there. They didn’t bounce off each other well, the schtick appeared overly rehearsed and Shirvo couldn’t keep up with the wit and sharpness of Riggle. He just looked embarrassed to be there at times.

It was originally meant to be BT hosting with Riggle. He might have worked better.

Guess Shirvington being there was Seven’s idea of the show skewing younger.
I dislike Brian Taylor but I guess he would probably fit the vibe of this show better than he does with AFL. I reckon Olympia Valance would’ve done a better job than Sonia too.
If this ever comes back it needs a MAJOR rework and they need to lose all the cheesy stuff and cut down the run.

My suggestions for season 2 of Holey Moley
- Showing it just once per week
- A full 18 hole course plus The Distractor and Tomb of Nefer-Tee-Tee (grand final hole), with some Australian themed holes. Holes to avoid the same set and water hazard if possible
- Eight episodes: six heats (60 minutes each), semi final (90 minutes), grand final (90 minutes)
- Each heat will have four contestants in two head-to-head battles. The battle losers play The Distractor, with the winner to join the two battle winners in the final round. The heat will use three holes and The Distractor, so six heats will ensure each themed hole will only be used once
- The semi finals will have six heat winners and two wildcards split into four groups of two, each group contesting best-of-three battles
- The four semi final winners will contest the grand final over three rounds, including the Tomb of Nefer-Tee-Tee

I’d cut it down to 6 episodes personally, with 4 heats, contestants who aren’t high on red cordial, 1 semi-final and 1 grand finale.
Air it at the end of the year with a new format on Seven and they should do better.
definitely new holes

Was Channel surfing tonight and came across the celebrity edition. Surprisingly it’s way better than the regular edition. Instead of being fed red cordial like 99% of the regular contestants, most of the celebrities seem genuine in their reactions and their performance instead of the OTT performance of everyone else.
Also caught the Denise Drysdale incident. It seems like it’s not exactly how many of us imagined the incident occurred but it’s still pretty frightening. Let’s just say that it could’ve been easily avoided…

Celebrity Holey Moley winner
AFL legend takes the Holey Moley crown
Big, bad Barry Hall scoops Celebrity Holey Moley
The wild man of AFL, Barry Hall, tonight added another glittering prize to his trophy case, when he pushed aside NRL icon Mat Rogers and Olympic speed skating gold medallist Steven Bradbury to take first place in Celebrity Holey Moley .
“This is a big achievement,” said the retired professional AFL player, who celebrated his win with a backward somersault into the Polcano pool. “I’m very proud.”
Big, bad Barry’s victory in the extreme mini golf showdown followed a dramatic incident on Frankenputt earlier in the night when entertainment icon, Denise Drysdale, tripped on the course during her head-to-head battle with Bradbury. Sustaining a shoulder injury, Ding Dong was treated by medics and was forced to leave the competition immediately, graciously handing the win to Bradbury by default.
“Can you believe it? Arm in a sling!” said Drysdale, as she was wheeled from the course. “Steven, I’m out!” Celebrity Holey Moley commentator Matt Shirvington quickly chimed in with: “Bradbury has pulled another Bradbury!”
Denise is down

How will these golfing stars of tomorrow deal with the death-defying Holey Moley obstacles? Don’t worry: that’s what parents are for. While the kids take the putts, their adult caddies will take the hits on diabolical course favourites, including Putter Ducky, Dutch Courage, Putt the Plank and many more.

If only he gave her his little furry hand!
Are the electric shocks for real or just for show? I question the wisdom of shocking anyone of her vintage even if it is a mild jolt. Perhaps Denise got off lightly with a shattered shoulder. Seven sure got plenty of mileage out of her misfortune. I wonder if she was happy to have it shown?
So Steven Bradbury did a Bradbury to win again?

Well I was thinking they probably put her on the best hole as all the other ones are jumping or running on moving things.
Had Denise not got injured, she would have had to jump or run in the next two holes to reach the final.
She literally did it to herself by acting stupid.
I honestly don’t understand why she was doing this then in the first place. Clearly she isn’t the right age for those sort of stunts.

She has previous form with reality shows. She pulled out of Celebrity Splash mid series citing fear of heights and age. Why does she sign up in the first place?

But what exactly caused her to fall? It looked like she perhaps tripped over her own feet, or did she receive another shock that caused her to fall?
I wondered that myself. I have a feeling that she was never going to actually dive on Celebrity Splash, and was only signed because Ch7 had the footage of a woman similar in appearance to Denise doing one hell of a belly flop. For quite some time everyone thought the woman was Denise.
The course is deliberately uneven for mini-golf purposes like most other courses, she tripped because of that and probably a mix of concentrating on getting to the gopher after she got the electric shock and not watching her footing.
