We were watching last night and KNEW Gary would be leaving... when he didn't we were all shocked! (but not upset) Ant's set was funnier but I think he lost because of the Bush comment--what do you think?

And, who do you think the mastermind is? Tammy???

My dad thinks it's Tammy...I think it's Alonzo Bodden.
He's always quietly watching everyone and doesn't get into the middle of the roommate fights.

Gary definitely made it cuz of his looks..i didnt think he was funnier tonight! oh well.

I'm Glad Ant lost. His combination of Religion and Politics in his jokes was his downfall. that's my observation.

Ant was just being smug and obnoxious, that's why I'm glad that he's gone.

So glad Ant is gone!
I think he is funny, but one can do only so many "I'm Gay" jokes and then it gets old. Your Gay, we get it. lets move on!
But I did enjoy his whole airline crash bit.
And I don't think Gary is bad to look at. Glad he is around for at least another round.

I think the mastermind is Tammy and not Alonzo due to two things. First, she was able to convince Ant to vote for Gary, thus forcing the matchup. Second, didn't Alonzo vote for Ant this time around? I don't think he'd do that if he was in the alliance. Or I could just totally be misremembering.

I liked that Ant did stuff that we hadn't seen before as part of his head-to-head. However, I think there was too much not-quite-funny-enough buildup in the airplane crash without a funny-enough conclusion and too much language. Gary's set seemed a little funnier, but both seemed to have ssslllllooooowwww timing.

Remember also that we don't see the performers' entire sets-- stuff is always cut out of their routines.

Didja also see the note at the end that the Friar's membership was decided solely on the votes of the celebrity judges? I totally thought Alonzo deserved to win that one-- totally classy and low-key roasting, well done.

I'm glad that Jay got the photo session from Ant, and that he got immunity, because they're really picking on him lately. Subtly, but not in the nicest way.

I liked Ant. I thought his airplane crash bit was hysterical! Gary was ok last night, from what I saw. I wish they would have showed everyone's reactions after Gary came back to the house.

Totally agree w/you. On the other hand-how do you like Tammy telling Ant he had to vote for Gary & then not doing it herself? Hmmm.

My prediction for final five, I can only think of the top 3:

John Heffron (my favorite to win)
Alonzo Bodden
Corey (although he gets on my nerves)

Then, it's a toss up b/t Tammy, Kathleen & Gary to round it out (probably Gary & Tammy)... Jay London should not make it, but then, I don't think he should be in the house in the first place.

Final note--Gary definitely won the other night b/c he's cute...after his set, DH & I just knew he was going home, but then Ant truly sucked it up (yes, I know the audience seemed to laugh more at him...but I can't stand his brand of humor). I, for one, am glad he's gone.

Alonzo is in the alliance. He's always there during their group meeting.

I don't think Tammy "convinced" Ant as much as she said, "look, you're going to look like a scared wuss if you don't vote for Gary."

Well, even though I did not find Jay London particularly funny, it was very sad to see him go--and without the majority of the house wanting him gone.

BTW-has anyone else seen/read Jay Mohr's book "Gasping for Airtime," about his 2 years on SNL? It's really a good read for anyone who is a fan of SNL or Jay (I hardly remembered he was on the show...). His standup this week was pretty good.

madmax 07-14-2004 12:15 PM

I hope Tammy is the next to go. I think she sucks as a comic anyway. I have heard her use the same Italian/mob sterotype jokes about 3 times. She doesn't have any original material. I think Alonzo is the best comic followed by John, Cory, and then Gary.

I saw Jay Mohr on "Good Day Live" promoting his book. Sounds interesting.

I agree with you about her. I may have thought she was funny the first time, but the same jokes the third time around just aren't funny.

That's why she'll never win even if she makes it to the final five. Someone like John or Gary, who has done a head-to-head with fresh material, has a better chance.

Maybe, but she did win the elimination vs Todd Glass. If there is a new audience for each elimination then the audience doesn't know the comic is using stale material. I think the comics should be required to use fresh material for every set.
