I also wasn't pleased with the selections. Even if they casted for storylines, they missed the boat. I would have loved to have the former teacher.

And this is 2006, we dont' need to have a token anything. Two people with disabilities would have been just fine. Nikki Payne got rooked. Besides I would to know if she is that hyper in her daily life and if so...how her housemates would deal with that.

None of them impressed me much either. I didn't find myself laughing much at any of them. I think I'm losing interest and I doubt I'll even watch much any more.

Wasn't Bill Dwyer the one who told his jokes and you could hear the crickets chirping. Their choices floored me, there were so many of them that were much funnier than the ones picked. The Fine guy, the guy working on his seguays (sp?) Didn't the pregnant lady use the exact same material in her audition? Even the audience choice guy left me flat.

LMAO at Nikki Payne tonight -- you know you're Canadian when all it takes is duct tape and a dream, and you feel you can do anything.


Karen with that line you deserve to be on the show!

Only Rosanne is funny. Judging by the promo they struck gold when they took her on. She is a loudmouth and will probably irritate the hell out of everyone. She won't last long because any of them can beat her, handily. And that is not saying much.

I caught this on Bravo last night because I had graduation Tuesday. All I can say is I am completely shocked at their choices. I didn't really care for ANY of the ones who got in last night. I liked the "segue" guy, too. Bill Dwyer act was terrible, IMHO. That "Take my wife, please" routine is so old and overdone. I could not believe it when they called his name. It's obvious they were typecasting instead of going for the real comic gems.

Bill Dwyer had nothing funny in the set we saw. I think he had a contract to get into the house instead.

Karen with that line you deserve to be on the show!

:-) Thx, Jasper! I may have watched one too many Red Green episodes in my day, LOL. I'm very disappointed that she didn't make it into the house, but I'm not surprised. The whole thing has been pre-determined, IMHO, and I'll go on the record now in assuming that Bill Dwyer, the unfunniest of the bunch, will win the whole thing. He must have friends on the inside... why else would he be allowed into the house? We all know the amateurs are only there to round out the show in an attempt to prove it's not staged.

As for Josh Blue -- I do find him funny and am glad he's been invited to the house. That said, I'd like to see him do a whole set without any reference to his CP. Maybe explain his condition quickly to the audience when he first comes out, but strip away all jokes about it and see how funny he is commenting on every day stuff.

What is every day stuff? For Josh Blue isn't his every day stuff living with CP? Not quite sure what your're getting at. I think each person whether they are a comic or not has their own, unique, every day stuff to deal with. Most of the comics use their life experiences to come up with their material. For Josh Blue, his life experience just happens to center around his CP. He can't leave it at home, it's with him 24/7. Yeah, maybe it will get old after awhile, but that's the risk he takes getting on stage.

I guess I don't see any difference of him using his CP for his material vs the other comics using their race, looks, weight, gender, you-name-it, for their material.

All I'm saying, Zummat, is that I don't find it funny when a comic's entire act, night after night, is centred around a single focus. Same as a fat guy who comes out and spends his whole set commenting on small airplane seats and difficulty clothes shopping, same as female comics only focusing their set on ungrateful men and periods, if all you're funny at is one thing, it gets old really fast.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people using what they know as the basis for their set. Go back a couple of archive pages and you'll find me defending Josh's use of CP humour for the same reasons you mention. But you'll also see that I say that I find it funny because he's only commenting on one small portion of who he is. One of my best friends in high school had cerebal palsy, and she still had to write exams, worry about boys, pay taxes, wait in line at the grocery store, etc., etc. There are many other things in Josh's day to day life that can be anecdotally funny. I'm curious to see more of that, that's all I'm sayin'.

I agree Karen. Ellen is a good example of the vast possibilities that exist for humorous commentary. She never mentions being a lesbian.

Thanks Pamy :-) I loved Roz's heckling. Not sure about Mr. Gay's idea of NOT heckling???

that was quite a confessional by mr gay. That heckling session was the funniest I've seen on this show this season so far.
