Thank god
is gone. I cannot stand him/her for one more second. That person failed to make me smile once in the 4-5 weeks I've been watching this show.

Am I the only one who thinks Kathleen is overrated? She's funny, and better than a lot of the *remaining* comics. But they all treat her like she's the unstoppable comedy god that nobody in their right mind would want to challenge. So far I've laughed more at Heffron, Bonnie, Todd, Corey, Alonzo, and Gary, if I'm being honest, not even counting faceoff performances.
P.S. I included spoilers as not to be the too-early spoiling guy. But by now, everyone should have seen this... if not what are you doing in this thread full of black boxes?

That being said, I really like Kathleen. But I'm also somewhat biased because on XM Comedy 150 (XM Radio), they play her quite a bit and the stuff they play is hilarious (at least to me). She hasn't had much of an opportunity to shine yet on this show. Her big chance will be in a head to head competition.

Heffron's joke about Jay London being afraid of ice because he'd been frozen in it for 4 million years was great. As was Gary's joke about the illegitimate children's table.
Gary's timing was way, way off and to end on the oreo joke??? Poor choice. The oreo thing may have been funny if he was "on" but it ended his act on a sour note. Ant just isn't funny. His first "joke" was a long set up story just to say "I'm a queen". My God, we get that you're gay!!! Then a long, unfunny lesson in flight attendent school to see the same thing sped up. UNFUNNY.

Wait a sec...did everyone hate Ant throughout the whole show? I liked him in the last episode...and thought the guy that got kicked off was a giant ass. I didn't see last night's episode but was just wondering if this is has been the overwhelming sentiment the whole time.

1) He's just not that funny and seems like he made it this far because he's good TV, not good stand-up.
2) He talks non-stop about "playing the game" and is all about strategizing like this is Survivor or something. Get up on stage, and prove you're funny.
3) His "act" hasn't changed since last season, and it's one note: "look at me, I'm Sicilian!"
4) He dishes but can't take it. He'll rag on someone in the house, and when they come back at him, he gets offended.
I'll give him credit for a few things, though:
1) He owned that Tour Bus challenge. That has little to do with comedy, but it was still pretty impressive.
2) Even though Tammy forced him into it with her vote, he was man enough to challenge Gary
3) He apologized to Corey

At least Ant brought out a set we hadn't heard before. I still didn't like it, but I thought he might have beaten Gary, who was definitely not on his game.

She has the most random jokes in the time allowed and she makes them flow together seamlessly. I mean she is like, bam! bam! bam! during her performances. She may not be the funniest(I like her), but I think she has the best overall talent, she seems more professional than everyone else when she is up on stage. That is probably why they fear her.

He was too catty, petty and manipulative. I thought it was poetic justice (to steal Gary's line from the show) that Ant gave away his professional photo shoot to get Cro-Magnon man on his side and then wound up with nothing. I love it.
Here's hoping that Pescatelli is the next one to bite the dust.
To address Ant's set - pbbbbbbbbt. Terrible. He had 2 jokes basically with a TON of setup. You can't expect to have an audience stay with you that whole time, especially when they only seem to get a few minutes on stage. As someone else mentioned, if he was doing a whole act of a half hour or more, maybe those "jokes" fly. But it was just too much setup.

Bye Ant. Tho you owned the tour bus, it wasn't because you were funny. Just that you can bullshit and get people to believe you.
Glad to see the house force the hand and make Gary and Ant go head to head. Even tho Ant somewhat redeemed himself and voted for Gary.

Gary basically punked Ant into a head to head with him...
...that and Pescatelli not taking the hit for Ant.

I'm not even referring to the roasting, I'm talking about the opening round stuff, her actual act. I've never heard of her before this, so maybe they're holding out on her best stuff. But from the stuff I've heard so far, she's good but they're all trembling in their boots like she's the most amazing unbeatable comic ever. At least three times so far I've heard of people addressing the idea of facing her as a really bad, crazy idea.
