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.

I can't stand it when comics start off with a bogus story or a weak premise (the story about the Romanian princess who told him she always gets her way since she is a princess, but he outranks her as a queen) and that is exactly how he started, then it turned into an attempt at physical comedy by a guy who isn't physically, or intellectually, funny. The only time he impressed me at all was the tour guide segment, and that is what he should be. The only way he'll get a good laugh from an audience is if they have the right combination of charity and alcohol.

Alonzo was the only one who made me laugh out loud, I loved that National Geographic joke. He seems to be the best writer there.

To me there has been no question since the beginning that Alonzo Bodden and John Heffron are the funniest ones on the show. Just listening to Heffron's voice makes me laugh. He should be doing cartoons.

I thought Alonzo was too concerned about getting immunity for winning. Nobody is going to challenge someone who just won the roast competition, so I'm glad they gave immunity to Jay. I don't think Jay is all that funny, but the retarded alliance only picked him because he was easy to roast. All they had to do was steal his material. He roasts himself every time he's on stage.

I think people here are underestimating Tammy Pascatelli. I'm not really familiar with any of these comics outside of this show, but so far she's been the funniest woman. She's very unlikable in the house and she buddied up to Ant, but she has a pretty good routine. The audience only see her once and have no idea what she's like offstage. I bet she makes it to the final four.

I finally saw it and all I can say is that there is a God!!!

I like Gary, he seems like a nice guy, but he shouldn't be in the house. That said - his blah performance was better than Ant's piece of shit follow-up. :lol: Loved it - even though when they announced the winning percentage I thought they were going to say Ant.

I still like Kathleen, even though she is in that ****ing Alliance for some reason.

Heffron reminds me of Bobcat Goldthwaite in his voice and mannerisms minus the tics.

A very mild, tickless version of Bobcat. And his voice doesn't go through the highs and lows that B.G.'s does, but other than that he is somewhat similar.

;)

I guess that's fairly accurate. He sounds a little like Bobcat when Bobcat is speaking normally. I was a big Bobcat fan, so maybe that's why I like him. His act is good too, but I think Alonzo's the best of the bunch.

"Jay stopped by my house and started rummaging through my trash. I said, 'Jay, what are you doing?' and he said, 'Making lunch.' "

:whofart:

This guy's a professional comedian?

OK, it's official ... I'm in love with Kathleen Madigan.

Just got back from her show, and it was fantastic. She made Dave Mordal (whom I saw a few weeks back) look like crap. Very smooth and professional set. Sweet and personable after the show. All around great experience. She briefly touched on <i>Last Comic Standing</i>, how she'd get a FedEx letter every week telling her that if she talked about the show, they'd sue her for $50 million. After her set, she said that most of the time they spent in the house was hilarious, but that the producers cut it all out to focus on the "drama" and that was really annoying. She also talked about how voting against these guys was really painful, since she had known most of them for years.

:up: St. Louis' finest.

I've liked her for years and have always looked forward to the day that I can see her live show. I'm jealous das - that's awesome.

He screwed up the joke during the roast. He forgot the part after "Jay stopped by my house" - "and I told him to make himself at home." Still lame, but at least it makes sense. :)

Ant is a pathetic excuse for a comic. Not only does he not have a sense of humor, but we get it dude. You're gay. Can we move on? Not even the Queen of Queen stand ups, Scott Kapuro, plays the gay card as much or as obnoxiously as Ant.

If I want to watch some guy telling me he's gay, I'll watch Graham Norton. At least HE wears shiny suits.

I got a laugh out of Ant at the end of the show, though. It was when he was bitching about how manipulative and conniving everyone was being, and how he was just their puppet.

I'll buy that for a dollar, you stupid ass. Sheesh. He's the queen of denial AND projects his own nasty little foibles onto other people.

What a waste of oxygen he is.

I told the hub Heffron must be the bastard child of Bob Goldthwaite and Adam Sandler.

Kathleen Madigan is a great great stand-up. Numerous specials.

But this is not her element. She has to get comfortable with an audience. But I can also tell she really doesn't want to be there.

But she is in a great spot. I bet many of the comedians there think she could actually pull out some of her best material and blow them off the stage. Would you risk it. Gary, John and Jay are history.

Though Heffron might hang on to the end.

Kathleen, Tammy, Olonzo, John and Corey

Those are my final predictions.

Final will be Tammy and Corey

But I am sure that will change once one of them loses ;-P
