Every day the couple had to fight to stay on the show by participating in various competitions. The couple also had to contend with the seven other teams that had an assortment of personalities, according to Rachel.
"You could tell the personalities (the producers) chose and why they chose them," said Rachel. "They chose people to stir it up and people to be loud and in your face."
The couple chose to be themselves and take advantage of the opportunity they had.
"(The challenge) is to be yourself and let that come through on the camera," Casey said. "Rachel and I felt if we were ourselves, we would enjoy it and so would America (as they watched it.) We wanted to roll with the punches."
Now that the show is done taping, Casey and Rachel are back in Oxford and bought a new home. They both agree "Big Break X: Michigan" was a positive experience that helped their golf game and their everyday lives.
"(Coming away from the show) I have an even better firsthand knowledge of pressure," Casey said.
He said he thinks his experience will give him more credibility with the golf team and be something the Oxford community can be excited about.
"I really hope this is a great opportunity to get exposure here at Miami," Rachel said. "I just got here a couple of weeks ago. I'd like to make some friends and maybe use this as a tool to catapult Miami golf into the national spotlight, meet some new people and better ourselves within the community."
The couple's first episode on "Big Break X: Michigan" will air 10 p.m. Oct. 7 on the Golf Channel.
