All right, I've finally watched my tape of last night's episode and this is what I thought:
Jessica: She was all right....not hysterical, but I found myself chuckling a few times. I definitely think she'll be the lowest vote-getter for the Season 2 house.
Cory (?): Didn't laugh, didn't smile. Didn't enjoy.
John: Loved his opening line (about wanting to get it over with to go back to playing video games). I laughed....I'm glad he was in the first group, but with only two minutes, I don't think it was his BEST night.
Tess: I actually enjoyed her set. Laughed a couple of times, and I think she'll make it to the next round, but she wasn't spectacular.
Tammy: I enjoyed her set...the bridesmaid dress had me rolling (because all girls who've EVER had to stand up in a wedding completely agree with everything she said!)
Ralphie: I felt so bad for him, having to fight through the tears to give a two minute performance. I definitely think he'll make it through to the next round, but I'm hoping things will become easier for him, because I don't think the "sympathy" vote will sustain him for very long.
Todd: I enjoyed his set as well....not typical Todd Glass stuff, but decent.
Rich: I only laughed at his joke about the shirt he was wearing, and then I sat and stared at the TV for the rest of his set. I'm not impressed.
Alonzo: BEST SET OF THE NIGHT!!!! I laughed at everything he presented, and he did a good job of walking a thin line between classy humor and tacky humor with the pedophilia joke.
Dave: See my comments for Cory above....it was ten times worse with Dave.
My predictions for those leaving tonight are Jessica and Cory, and if the votes went for those who were the best comics, I might give the edge to Season 2 (but of course, this is subjective opinions we're talking about here and what's funny to me may not have been funny to the other viewers).
From what it sounded like last night, the other ten perform tonight and we get a chance to vote on them after tonight's show, and then another elimination will occur. Now, if this is to go for eight weeks, they can't be eliminating four comics per week, because it jsut doesn't add up.
