Show is not over yet. Every week someone else gets voted off by America, IIRC.

And she didn't even make a "burning bush" joke! (although it could have been cut, I suppose)

Anyone else think that Gabriel did that on purpose so as not to lose and ruin what career he had going into this show. He's clearly not the funniest and this would only hurt him in the long run.


Spoiler:
Personally I don't agree with that assessment. I think he just got too carried away with a new relationship, and the little head was doing the thinking for the big head, and he screwed up, plain and simple. I don't buy that "he knew he couldn't win" stuff so he brought a Blackberry along to sabotage himself. What kind of sense does that make, seriously?


That said, I think it's obvious at this point it's either going to be Josh or Chris' show to lose.

movieking 07-12-06 09:11 AM

No need to spoiler anymore, as the show has aired.

I agree with parker63. It seems like Gabriel got caught up in a new relationship, and couldn't stand being out of touch with his new girlfriend. IMO, it doesn't change the scope of the series too much, as Josh and Chris are head and shoulders above everyone else. Chris is by far the best, followed by Josh, then everyone else far far behind.

We all seem to be in agreement about this. Now watch America screw it up and vote someone else as winner, as they did in the first season with Dat Phan.

Chris

Goldberg74 07-12-06 11:43 AM

I'll take Chris over Josh, but would be happy with either of the two.

I thought it was just one more week, and the viewers pick the winner from the five remaining. I could be wrong though.

movieking 07-12-06 12:59 PM

In the past, hasn't it come down to the final two (or three) comics? On NBC.com, for the next episode they have "Only five comics remain and YOU decide who will be going home!" so there are definitely a couple of more shows left.

Two shows left. Next week we go down to three, then the finale.

I will agree that Chris is the best, but Josh is quite talented.

movieking 07-12-06 01:40 PM

So two people leave next week?

If so, my pick for the final three are Chris, Josh, and a yet to be determined sub-par comedian (probably Roz).

I know at least in the first season, they knocked off one a week until it was down to five, and then all five faced off in the second-to-last episode and you called in to vote, a la American Idol. On the final episode they eliminated the bottom vote getters one at a time until they revealed the winner.

In season 2 it came down to a final three, and I think it was a final four for season 3.

Goldberg74 07-12-06 04:05 PM

This show has had the most incosistent format of any show out there.

Enough already.

;)

Goldberg74 07-18-06 10:15 PM

Tonight each comic performed for 5 mins. At the end you can vote for your fav up to 5 times per email addy or 5 times per phone number. The one with the lowest total will be eliminated from the competition.

These are my picks, best to worst:

Josh
Ty & Chris (tie)
Michelle
Roz

Roz stunk to high heaven. I hope she's the first to go.

I like how Ty got a standing "O" and loved Josh's pop at Gabriel. rotfl

cornflakeguy 07-18-06 11:23 PM

it was on tonight? My season passed DVR didn't record it.

Hmmmmmmm.....I blame Ant.

Buford T Pusser 07-18-06 11:48 PM

What's the deal? They said "these two are the bottom two right now and need your support" but nothing on screen indicated the results.

Was this done for the west coast which will show the bottom two?

canucker45 07-19-06 12:17 AM

Bottom two are Chris Porter & Michelle Balan.

Buford T Pusser 07-19-06 12:38 AM

Not Roz? Hmmm.


Mrs. Pusser and I were thinking Chris Porter was tops but his five minutes didn't do that much for us tonight. We also liked Ty in the past but not as much tonight.

Josh is looking like the winner these days.

Michelle has turned out better than I was expecting and I'm tired of Roz's yelling.

Charlie Goose 07-19-06 12:59 AM

Josh was best tonight and probably won the week on the basis of his joke about Gabriel.

Ty was second. Didn't see much of him during the first part of the competition, but he had a good set.

Chris was okay, but not nearly as good as he's been.

Michelle was also okay, she's middling at best.

ROZ WAS WORST WITH HER SHRIEKING I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A LOUSY DELIVERY FROM A STANDUP HOW DID SHE GET THIS FAR AND HER JOKES WERE THE WORST OF THE BUNCH ALTHOUGH SHE DOESN'T HAVE JOKES SHE HAS PROBLEMS.

Perkinsun Dzees 07-19-06 03:31 AM

Looks like it's gonna be between Roz and Josh Blue.

Say what you will about Roz, but viewers love her. And she got a standing O tonight. Wow!

Josh showed his brilliance tonight with the Gabriel joke. Absolute brilliance. That should be enough to bolt him into the finals.

And now we know why Anthony Clark was chosen as host. The guy was absolutely hilarious tonight ("Our next comic is so old that even Ashton Kutcher won't date her" - ha ha). If he had been in the competition tonight, he might've won hands down.

das Monkey 07-19-06 08:12 AM

Everyone pretty much bombed last night, even Porter. Josh was the best without much of an actual set, but he wasn't great. Ty wasn't bad but not as good as last week. Chris and Michelle were way off what we've seen in the past, and Roz was shit. That studio audience must have been heavily medicated, because there wasn't much creativity or unique material on stage.

das

Groucho 07-19-06 10:35 AM

None of the sets were that great. I'd rank them as follows:

1. Josh
2. Ty
3. Chris
4. Michelle
5. Roz (she should write jokes for other comics, her delivery is terrible)

My guess (hope?) is everybody deliberately gave us "B" & "C" material, so they can bring out the bigger guns as the competition gets steeper.

TomOpus 07-19-06 11:44 AM

I agree with Groucho but I'd switch Josh and Ty.

Michelle doesn't do much for me and Roz just needs to go away.

movieking 07-19-06 01:07 PM

I thought Roz did better with the crowd than most people give her credit for.

I agree that nobody was great last night.

rocketsauce 07-19-06 05:06 PM

Roz is horrible. That sassy black woman schtick is fucking annoying. Ask Mo'nique why she wasn't won any Academy Awards yet.

kramdenfan 07-20-06 10:34 AM

I agree with most of the opinions on Roz. However, I thought her material this week was the funniest I have seen her on the show. Her delivery still bites, tho. I'm also sick of all the yelling and the whole "I got problems" over and over.
Chris, who I thought has been the most consistantly funny, sucked. I was really disappointed with his set. He didn't get more than a chuckle out of me.
My votes went to Josh and Ty, who I thought were both great.
What the hell Michelle is still doing there I'll never know. She'll probably win and we'll see another riduculous finish like Season 1. Maybe she's in the Dat Phan Phan-Club?
