I thought that Jeff Dye really knocked it out of the park last night. That "Guess Who" bit was laugh out loud funny. My daughter even called me because she was laughing as hard as I was.

My girls played that game for hours and we all enjoyed it. They still remember most of the characters names. They knew exactly which one was "Clarence!"

Mary, that had me cracking up. He really was the winner in my book last night. I also loved his line about what we call women who sleep around with men.

I think Jeff is the funniest left. He seems unpolished compared to the others, but I like that. I loved the jokes about his parents. I agree, the Guess Who bit was hilarious. Jeff kind of reminds me of Gary Gulman (Season 2). Simple humour, not crude and it seems like he's having fun, which is fun to watch.

I was disappointed to see Adam Hunter go. And when it came down to Iliza and Sean Cullen, I was thinking, yeah, who is the American audience going to vote for (Canadians are not allowed to vote) - the American or the Canadian?

Sorry, but i totally disagree. I'm pretty sure the fact that Sean is Canadian had zilch to do with anything. After all, Jim Tavare made it thru. Personally, I think Iliza is just plain funnier than Sean. And I would've voted for her but they closed the polls after two hours!

I agree that Sean Cullen's not making it through had more to do with his poor showing than the fact that he was Canadian. Like Costacat said. Jim Tavare made it through and he's a Brit.

I think Sean didn't make it through for the same reason Ron G. didn't make it. The comedy just wasn't connecting. I personally LOVE Candians...you could call me a Canada-phile even. I wanted in the worse possible way to root for Sean...but he just wasn't all that funny.

Sean, Adam, and Ron G. -- I wasn't surprised those three didn't make it through. I just didn't really LAUGH at any of them.

I laughed at Adam last night, but I guess his previous run wasn't good. And yes, I agree with you all that Sean hasn't been as funny.

Did you notice the difference in Marcus's eyebrows compared to the pics from his past? He must really pluck away at them now!

Iliza was weak for the 2nd week in a row, IMO. Better than Sean but that's not saying much. Louis Ramey was the funniest last night, along Jeff Dye's Guess who bit. They both made me laugh.

I think Sean's sense of humor is an acquired taste.

I'm a very proud Canadian, but not a fan of Sean Cullen. In fact, I don't know anyone who is. He's done quite a bit of work on the CBC (our major network) and he's not really well-liked. I think he's more of a sketch comic than a stand up comedian.

I don't like Iliza. Not as a comic, anyway. It just seems like she's trying too hard, and it ends up looking desperate. Her gruff, loud voice also bugs me.

I like her. She's one of my favorite comics of the lot of 'em left. And I think she should feel cocky... she kept getting put up against people, and she kept winning. (And that last time was by quite a margin.)

I like Iliza and I like Jeff Dye. Louis would be my third place.

I like Iliza, then Jim Tavare. I think the rest would all be tied for third! :-)

However, it's the tv audience that is voting, and being the first act of the night is a huge disadvantage (Marcus). Iliza has had the most exposure and smartly did a different set every time.

Wasn't the finale last night? I missed it (dunno if I got it on my VCR or not, but my DVR was already set for other things).

Anyways, if it was the finale, who won? Anyone know? Or was this show eclipsed by SYTYCD? :-)

Seriously? Yay!! Thanks Woofy! (She was my favorite all along, and hoped she'd win. I'm a bit surprised, but happy nonetheless!)

I think the guys' strategy of putting up Iliza for elimination each week backfired on them.

Iliza got the most airtime, and was the one person America really got to see.

It's no surpise she won.

Personally, I think she's pretty funny, but I really liked Marcus or Jeff Dye more.

The person who gets the most airtime, or is treated poorly by a "mob" in the house often wins. Season 1, it was Dat Phan. Season 2, John Heffron, who cried after the first head-to-head b/c he'd felt bullied to vote against a friend. I don't remember the following seasons, but America often votes for the "nice" ones who don't overdo the alliance thing.

I said it earlier, the exposure got the win for Iliza. And she kept it fresh - every set was new. Over the course of the show we got an entire 60 min show (if you put all her sets together). And the producers were probably happy to have a woman win. But she did deserve it.

I wasn't crazy about Iliza but as someone said in a video blog, you almost never see the winner of this contest much again anyways while some that lose go on to get better deals. In other words, winning the money is great but it's the exposure on the show that is the real prize.
