Hey come on...I watch that show too and the both comics put on a good act and the vote was close as well. I am amazed at the lack of material of these comics as I have seen the same routine more than once with these people. On the last show, I don't think Ralphy May(SP) repeated any routines during the entire show. The same thing can't be said the Dat Phan.
 
The concept of the show is the best of any reality show.
Its not like Survivor where people can gang up on you if you're the best player.
At least on this show, the really good comic can put fear into others who might vote for them.

A perfect example is John Heffron.
After he slaughtered Bonnie with a 94% of the votes, I don't think anyone would vote against him.
All he had to do is pick the weakest comic that voted for him and beat him/her down.

Just like tonight....Tammy was in the so called alliance but after finding out Ant might not vote for Gary and Gary might pick her had she vote for him, she decided to vote for someone else.
Ant decided not to be a chicken sh!t and that sealed his fate.

Ant's routine was so not funny. It wasn't a routine but more like a long drawn out skit.

All of Ant's routines were lame. Yeah we get, he's gay, he needs some new material.

Some of his stuff was funny, but last night's bit was just awful. In the first couple of episodes, I kinda liked him but then he started all the scheming and general bitchery. Glad he's gone, heh (also the crying was a nice touch).
 
It was the first time I got to see Ant perform and after both he and Gary went, I thought for sure Ant was going to win (I thought he was funnier than Gary). But I think doing the Bush joke threw some people. He didn't even do that many gay jokes.

I'm glad he's gone from the show though... couldn't stand his antics any longer.
 
Ant was a waste. It has been reported that NBC used laugh tracks during his Vegas finals performance because it was so bad. No one was laughing. They also showed very little of his performance...even with a laugh track they wouldn't have been able to fool anyone. That guy was the worst thing to happen to that show. He acted like a 7 year old. I'm glad he's gone. If I was in the house, no way I would have made it...I'd be kicked out for beating the sh!t out of Ant.
 
When you only have a certain amount of time to impress an audience, you need to mix it up.
His whole routine for the night was an airplane flight ???? WTF ??

:thumbsup:
 
I think he became gay when the nipple bit back. SOOO glad he got the boot. Now that dumb Sicilian broad has to go. She reuses jokes that aren't even funny! WTF is this?! I don't care how much cleavage you show; it'll only make me salivate and smile, not laugh :|
 
I think I was most disappointed with their selections for the house. There were 2 or 3 people that didn't make it which should have. On the first season, they pretty much got it right when selecting the house guests. This year it looked like they were trying to find a few people that would cause controversy or "liven things up." Too bad, cause a couple that were left out were phenominal.

BTW, if anyone gets the chance to see Jim Gaffigan live, do it. Caught him in DC last week and it's the best stand up performance I've ever seen. That guy really impressed the hell out of me. (Ellen, Road Trip, and a ton of other TV and movies) His live show is much funnier than his talk show appearances. Half his bit is stuff you'll never see on TV because it takes too much time to develop...but it had me on the floor laughing.

He's one of my favorites, too. I really hope I see him live someday.
 
Easily my favorite show on TV right now.
This show and American Idol is neck and neck in shows that I must watch or record so I can watch later.

I wouldn't have thought he was as funny live as he was. Literally half his stuff is one liners between his jokes that he never does on TV. He sells some live CDs. I'm going to order one next week. I'm hoping its his full blown act versus his talk show routines.

I've seen his Comedy Central special and it's friggin' hilarious. I usually don't stick around on a talk show after the first guest, but whenever he's on I'll stay there.

I once noticed Jim Gaffigan on Law and Order: CI. He hid bodies in the woods. That said, he is a funny guy 😀 I like when he's on Conan.
 
Gary Gullman ROCKS.

He was great

I feel bad for Jay London - but his stuff wasn't funny to me. He was a gentleman, though.
 
Jay London was the "Nice Guy" He didn't make any waves...
I thought he was weaker than the rest, but his comedy was different also. (deadpan, one liners). I like Jay and hope his spot on LCSII helps his career.

I think Alonzo Gary and Corey will make it to the end (or at least the last few). I also like Katheen, but I'm familiar with her previous work (which is halarious) that we dont see on the show.

The talent gap is very small with this final batch.
They are all very funny and I hope they all do well after this show.

I hear they have re-newed the show for the fall.
