My antenna dropped this episode after the first 10 minutes, so I missed pretty much the entire thing which bummed me out extremely. I'm waiting for ABC to post the episode so I can watch it online. It only took one episode for this to become my favorite show, so thanks a lot crappy antenna for ruining my night.

There is some major junior high level wave drama with a lot of the girls. Malia and Anastasia are definitely in the running for biggest B's of the beach. Way too much "everyone is jealous of me" from those two. Just get in the barrel already!

I was so happy to see Malia leave.   Anastasia can go next.  They cook up a Survivor-like "alliance" where everyone else is there to surf, then wonder why everyone hates them.

I fast-forwarded through all the non-surf stuff, and was much happier for it.  These people can surf! (I'm glad it's an artificial wave, so everyone surfs the same wave.)

100%. These aren't wannabe surfers. They are legit within the surf world, and just trying to make it to the next level. Malia's dad is the real deal, so not only does she have an "in" that some of these other surfers don't have, but she has the natural talent. If you want to be on Big Brother Wave Ranch then go for it, but if you want to surf then start paddling! In the first episode the announcers talked about Anastasia being a true natural surfer, but I didn't see her take any chances. Maybe she's amazing but it felt like she was coasting a bit this episode whereas Tia just went out and attacked it. If you're going to be cocky at least be able to back it up!

Zeke was also playing the strategy game this episode but he wasn't a jerk about it. He was just playing it smart. Also, he's really the one to beat here. 

I was legit shocked when Luke was eliminated. He is really good, and Alejandro was getting the loser edit. Way to fool me, ABC! And I can't blame him for being annoyed about being caught up in Malia and Anastasia's reality villain shenanigans. However, he should have been on his guard from the previous week when he went along with Anastasia only to have her manipulate him into a creating a super team with Zeke and Malia (although I actually think a stronger team would be Zeke with Tia). Luke needed to take a page from Zeke's book and start playing the long game. Oh, well.
