I liked the heckling challenge. Even better, I'm glad that Stella and April Macie are gone! It wasn't that Michelle was all that great, it's just that the other two were all that bad. I like the chemistry between Chris Porter and Josh Blue.

I would have voted for Michelle to win tonight, like the audience did. She seemed calm and in control and I thought she hit all her jokes with ease and good timing. I didn’t think her material was that much better but her performance was. I guess experience helped her. Stella seemed difficult and not likable in the house, but the audience didn’t know that. Maybe the tension affected her because I thought she performed badly she seemed extra nervous. Her jokes/subject matter wasn’t necessarily bad but her delivery was off. April was ok but you need to be better than ok she deserved to be the second one ousted tonight. This is my first time watching this LCS….I can’t believe I missed this show since I watch most reality stuff….hmmmm I thought the heckling was rayher lame...not sure why but it seemed stupid and very fake.

My hubby and I love this show and enjoy MOST of the comics, though we didn't get some of the judge's choices either. Why cut the chick with the lisp??? She was one of the funniest women we thought. We thought the heckling thing was brilliant. Their exchanges were hilarious - so quick witted. Bill Dwyer looks like the kind of guy who would cheat on his wife with the babysitter.

Can someone who has watched previous seasons refresh my memory on the head to head competition. I thought in previous seasons only 2 comics went head to head instead of three. Does anyone remember anything about that?

Sue, you are correct, previously it was head to head with two. Maybe they are trying to shorten the season (so we don't have to hear the same tired routine three or four times - by the time Dat Phan got to the finals, I thought I could run his routine myself). I was also glad to be rid of Stella. But Roz annoys me also. I'd pay to see Chris & Josh in a live show together. Hope they both stick around a long time. 'squeek'

I am still feeling burnt by the time they didn't show the finale, but have sampled briefly twice so far, just because I like comedians. I do like the new host, although I wonder how the previous host feels about all this? Anyway, the other night when I watched, i enjoyed...tonight, I'm with the group who LIKED the heckler idea; started watching with the comedian sparring with the hearty laugher and thought it was really funny. THEN they get to the guy with CP who is heckling the guy with the brillo haircut and I just thought the "your sister is dead" comments were SICK. Am I wrong, or is this the guy who won as the funniest? If I'm wrong, forgive me, but it was turning my stomach and then they started digging into each other at the house....and I flipped the dial--and instead of uplifting laughter (which I WASN"T getting from the show), I traded up to uplifting inspiration on PBS, from Peter Paul and Mary (!!!) who I had no idea were still performing and recording after 46 years! I remember the old shows of Last Comic Standing with great affection, but it just turned me off tonight (I guess literally, since I started channel surfing!)

The way I understood it is there will be three comics performing every week until there are only 6 comics left. Normally it would be the one with the highest votes has to perform and they choose two who voted for them. But since there was a tie, the two had to perform and they had to pick one more that voted for either one of them. Kinda of confusing. Last year there were only two performing at a time, so I guess they are shortening the series this year. I thought they all did good except for Stella. I don't think she was funny at all, but then I didn't like her from the start. Never understood why they choose her. I liked April Macie, but she used some of the same jokes and just seemed off tonight. The right person won tonight. Michelle did good and I'm glad she will be going back to the house. The dead sister stuff came up because of the dead mother jokes previously which I guess you didn't see when Chris was heckling Josh. I liked heckling idea for the immunity challenge. Just wish they could show more of each performance. Chris Porter is my favorite of the group. I like Roz too. They seem to have the most original material. Comedy is a personal preference. What's funny to one isn't funny to someone else.

Glad to see Stella go. I know I'm funnier than Stella. April is nice, but nothing new going on there. Not warming up to Roz. Chris is funny. I've seen him before. He and Josh were great heckle partners, lol. "That's inappropriate." LOL! I like Joey Gay, too.

I'm glad Stella is gone also. It seemed she had a lot of hostility towards everyone and everything. (Though it might be from be pregnant at the time along with all the added stress, but who knows. It also could have been the editting.) I knew she was going to lose because I felt like her first jokes were targeting the audience. Don't insult people who are going to be (or not) voting for you. That was a very dumb move. I thought Josh and Chris were hysterical together. They were really going at each other and they both held up well and seemed to be enjoying it. I hope they will be around for awhile to see if they can keep it up.

Oh no, we've got another Geoff (remember that guy from I believe season 1 who always voted for someone that he knew wouldn't get the most votes just so he wouldn't be in jeopardy of being chosen for the head to head). The short girl with the long brown hair - gesh, I don't know how she even made it into the house. She was terrible - the worst of the night.

I agree Texasdeb about the short girl -- she's just not funny to me at all. I do like the tall skinny blonde who almost won immunity. I also like the guy who won immunity. He's probably my favorite right now. I probably like Bill Dwyer more than most here since I've enjoyed him on VH1, but I think he would have made a good host. The host still isn't impressing me at all. He adds nothing to the show.

Yeah, Anthony Clark is a snooze. Never got into Bill Dwyer. And that nonsense of picking a name from a hat should be against the rules! It's a total cop-out.

It is a pretty cheap tactic to not name the one you truly think you're funnier than. But the guy who did that -- what's his name Iglasias? -- I thought was the best heckler of 'em all. Laughing hysterically and completely distracting the comic.

I think it will be funny if we find out all those pieces of paper actually had the same name on them and he really was voting for the one he wanted to lose LOL that would be classic

I was thinking the same thing Pamy! It would be a pretty strategic way to do it. You'd be able to vote for who you wanted, without risking their wrath if they weren't eliminated.

I don't like the names in a hat trick either. You vote for someone "randomly" who stands no chance of getting another vote. You are safe and stepped on no toes in the process. Cowardly plan but smart. He probably had all the names down except those 3 women.

I am going to come in here and admit the names in a hat thing is the type of thing I would do. There! Take your best shot at me! Throw rotten apples and soft tomatoes! Call me a "wuss"! I don't care!

Previous seasons made the comics work clean. This year they seem to just beep out word endings but no one has to change their material. I guess primetime networks have loosened their standards...

I loved the heckling portion. Chris and Josh were great together. I also enjoyed Kristin and Michelle going at each other. Not caring for Roz too much. As much as everyone seemed to think of Stella as a "B", Roz was complaining about her right off the bat and calling her "whiny" which I found ironic considering how much Roz whines herself. But then I'm assuming it's all in the editing. I'd pay to see Joey, Chris, Kristin, Josh and Michelle. The others aren't sticking out in my memory yet but that can certainly change by the end of the season.
