Just watched this weeks and I'm so glad that Stella and this years Tammy Pescatelli are gone. April "might" be funny, but as long as she does what the previous poster said, her Jenny McCarthy act, I have no need for her....jokes.
Stella was maybe ONE click above grabbing a girl off the street and having her tell jokes she remembered from a party. Michelle Balan was definately the best of those 3. I want to admit, though, that my first impression of Josh Blue was that he only has an act because of his disability, but after seeing a little more I think he's pretty funny in his own right. I think he'd be a comedian even without the CP. I also wonder in his own setting with maybe 15-20 minutes how much CP stuff he has in his act. Besides Josh I can't really tell who the top 3, 5 or 7 are. It's not that strong a class. |
I tried watching this on Bravo tonight and just gave up. I thought they got rid of a lot of good talent last week, and I just cannot see this season to the end. This series is so lame, especially with how it's actually fixed. I just stopped caring for it.

Bill Burr had a good point on the radio...using GOOD comedians is against NBC's interest, because a good comedian wouldnt give a crap about any of teh challanges and just be confident enough to walk out in a head-to-head every week.
BTW, Anthony Clark has still NOT told a joke. |

A gifted stand-up comedian and talented U.S. Paralympic soccer player, Josh Blue refuses to bow to any of the challenges that come from living with cerebral palsy. He jokes, "I realize that people are going to stare so I want to give them something to stare at." He uses his self-deprecating sense of humor to defy stereotypes and encourage others to overcome their pre-conceived notions about disabled people. Blue - who was born in Cameroon, West Africa, and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota - got his start in comedy while pursuing a B.A. degree in creative writing from Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. In addition to guest-starring on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia," Blue has been making audiences laugh in top comedy clubs, theaters, colleges campuses and corporate events all over the country. At the 2004 Las Vegas Comedy Festival, he won the $10,000 Grand Prize at the Royal Flush Comedy Competition. In 2005, he earned rave reviews on the college circuit and a nomination for "Best Diversity Event of 2006." Describing his comedy as "spastic and engaging," Blue wanted to be on "Last Comic Standing" to "make people aware of the fact that people with disabilities can make an impact." In addition to being a stand-up comic, Blue is also a U.S. Paralympic soccer player, and he participated in the 2004 Paralympic Games that took place in Athens, Greece. The Paralympics, held two weeks after the Olympics, are the world's second largest sporting event. He's in my top 3 (with Chris Porter and Gabriel Igleseas). |

Even if it is something like. "And your problem is ... You got no jokes !!!" |

I'm not going to even link to it to protect the weak :lol:, but if you want to know who's already out before the show airs there are spoilers on cringehumor.net.
This person being gone is quite lame. PLEASE! If you do check out the spoilers, don't post clues or anything. I know the comics mostly suck, but it's summer TV. :lol: |

4 way tie... 4 way stand-up.
:wave: Spoiler:
To the latter, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! And IMHO, the person who won immunity, shouldn't have won it. ... and Josh Blue* is the man! :up: * "He doesn't have cerebal palsy. He just has a bad cocaine problem." - Chris Porter on Jssh's outstanding athleticism |
Goldberg...
did you notice Kristina Guerrero from Great Day SA during the Adam Corolla segment?? She was pegged "Weather Girl." I'm sure it was her. I emailed her and asked her the 411... Anyways, Chris and Michelle nailed it tonight. Both very funny. I didn't think Michelle was so funny in last weeks head to head, but she rocked it this time. And I knew Chris would take the night...he's my pick to win. So far. |

Chris is the man! :lol:

Chris & Michelle were the better of the four. When and if Chris gets booted, my interest in the show drops to nil. Bill was funniest during the magazine segment and deserved immunity, but there's something offputting about him. He has a certain smarminess.
The segment with Josh trying to kick the ball into Kristin's pussy was quite lame. |
I don't find her all that funny, but the girl that was hit by the ball in the crotch kicked by Josh Blue just seems like someone I'd love to hang out with. I mean, what woman does that. I"m not saying date, i'm just saying it'd be fun to go have a few beers with her.

A ripoff of Letterman's bit listing ways not to blow out your cornhole while weightlifting gets immunity? After being so close Spoiler:
It's interesting that no one is challenging Josh. |
Michelle's routine was much better this week. Which is to say, the segment they allowed us to see this week is much funnier than the segment they allowed us to see last week. Does anyone know how long their sets are at this stage (and thus how much we actually see)?
I'd say Josh and Chris are the inside favorites to win this thing. Kristin and Michelle are question marks... Kristin because she's consistently getting 2nd/3rd in immunity challenges and HAS to win some time. I also think she's the sharpest one in the house, as in she's quick-witted and not just relying on routines (although this doesn't always translate into a good routine).And Michelle because she's survived two head-to-heads, and people should be afraid to go against her at this point. I can't remember one thing about Ty's act so I'm not even sure if it's good or not. Hell, I forget he's there until they show him. I can't stand Gabe, but I know some people think he's funny. Obviously he's been somewhat successful, I just don't care for him at all. And Roz and Rebecca are the two worst ones in the house. Although for all I know the audience will love them (the Dat Phan effect). |
"I know that I'm funnier than... Adam Carrolla."
:down: Lousy challenge. |
I'm in total agreement with Chris & Michelle winning last night. For once we seem to have audiences that are actually picking the comics that are actually funniest.
That being said, none of the last 3 seasons comics can touch most of the comics from Season 1, and I'm even including the ever repeating Dat Phan. Chris |
I'm more than happy with the worst contestants going home first. I would gladly have swapped Bill for that midget girl, but Bill should never have been in the contest in the first place (the guy has been doing pro comedy for decades).
I know who I'm funnier than...Anthony Clarke. |

Can someone report this post to the mods so they'll see this? :D
Mods: Can you edit the title to say Official Last Comic Standing discussion + Josh's Make-A-Wish :banana: |
