Hopefully this is the last we see of this stupid segment. I do give em credit for trying something different, but who cares if you can make a 7-10 with 2 balls using your opposite hand with you eyes closed....

And no one even tried my one and only trick shot - changing hands behind my back while in my approach.

The only "skill" I liked was when Parker threw the ball between 3 chairs and struck.  I'm not talking about when he did it with the plastic chairs.  I liked when he went through the chairs that people were sitting on, but even that got old.

It all got old quickly. 1) Insert bowler here 2) Do any number of same so-called "skill shots" or "tricks" 3) Lather, rinse, repeat 4) Audience/Crowd instruction - wipe drool off cheek after about week three because you passed out from boredom.

i say get them all rip-roaring drunk before the skills challenge. and i mean fall-over, urine-down-the-pantleg sloppy drunk. that would make it VERY interesting!

"Chris barnes is going to attempt to throw a strike with his actual bowling arm and his actual strike ball over his actual path to the pocket... WHOOPS! that one laned on lane 12 and picked off the 6-9-10. wow, randy, he really did just chuck that one onto the other lane. amazing. Jack Daniels really packs a punch, ehh, randy?"

I think Barnes displayed a great deal of athleticism and talent in his trick shots.  I was very happy to see him win.

You're all so damn jaded.  I thought that Flying Eagle shot was awesome!

Pin a rose on his nose.....

He's a nice guy and all. I've met and like him well enough, but it's not about him. It's about the boredom induced by the competition as a whole.
