Greatest American Dog - episode 5
It was episode 5 this week of The Greatest American Dog and it proved to be an entertaining episode. The theme of the week was coordination and in the Bone Challenge the dogs had to walk a balance beam and falling from the beam would put the dogs into a pool of mud. Teresa and Leroy won the Dog Bone Challenge which gave them the Dog Bone Suite and shelter from elimination in the Best in Show competition. However, Teresa felt bad for Bill, because she knew how much Bill missed his wife and in the suite, he could have his wife’s pictures. Teresea turned the Dog Bone Suite and the elimination card over to Bill. It was a touching and kind moment.
The Best in Show competition was hysterical. It was called “Dancing with Dogs”. Each team was assigned a particular type of dance and had to train their dog to be their dance partner for whatever type of dance style they had chosen. There was salsa, hiphop, ballet, rockabilly, etc. The most interesting aspect of this effort was Brandy and Beacon. When Brandy couldn’t get Beacon to respond to any of her training and commands, she collapsed into tears. She was stressing the dog out and of course Travis came to the rescue to calm and console Brandy. She did manage to get Beacon a bit trained, but to no avail. Of the three teams that were the worst of the event, (Travis and Presley; Brandy and Beacon and Laura and Preston), Brandy and Beacon were by far the worst. I was not upset to see Brandy and Beacon leave. She was over dramatic, sarcastic and snotty at times and seemed to have little to no relationship with her dog.
Wait until next week when the competition truly heats up!!!!
