Even though they showed Drew and Brett getting upset, in the end they made it look like Drew and Brett were in agreement with the results and it had all been a little misunderstanding.

I don't know if anyone has previously pointed this out, but I read an article that said that one of the executive producers, Barry Katz, was the manager for two of the people that were chosen to go in the house, Ant and Gary Culman. What a load of crapola that is!!!


This isn't being shown in Singapore. If it was I wouldn't watch it because I was so thoroughly disgusted by the results of tonight's show.

So maybe that one fellow dropped out cause he saw what a hoax this show was. Cause why would he sign up and audition for this if he was already committed to another show?

I've enjoyed it. I didn't know all this other stuff and it is not going to effect my enjoyment of it. It's different and interesting and I'm looking forward to watching them, especially in the house since Cross has indicated that is a cool part of the show.

I guess I like to watch train wrecks!! I couldnt agree more with who!! (yeah WHO!!) WAsnt there also controversy on last years Last Comic with Dat Phan being managed by someone on the show? (dh brought that up, I tend to have more CRS than he does!!)

BTW, I completely lost this thread (and didnt realize I wanted to find it till after I watched the editting of Drew and Bret - I knew there was more to the story!! And look at the spoiling!! And I missed it!! I wish I thought to look under American Idol for Last Comic sooner!!

Talk about CYA! Here's my take on the subject. No proof, just what it looks like to me.

Brett and Drew got PO'd and walked out. Jay says the little "Brett" thing that they showed a bunch of times and looked around for help. That's when the directors and producers (D&Ps) stopped tape. They forgot about all the other cameras that were getting background stories. So the D&Ps see Drew and Brett in the back room saying, "Your not going to use me and my image for something that is fixed." They were ticked off. So what do the D&Ps do? They can't refilm the whole thing with new celebrities. The losing comedians would never come back to do that. After a long pow-wow they decide to tell Drew that this is the way it was planned. That there are 8 other votes besides the panel. And those voters know who to pick better because they have seen the comedians several times for weeks now. (What a bunch of crap. Why even have the judges if there are 8 other votes?) Anyway, that doesn't fly with Drew. So the producer comes up with "It says that right on the screen." Well that gives Drew an out (you could tell he didn't want to fight and caved) and the producers an out. We didn't ever see Brett agree to this. So all the producers have to do is put that little piece of info on the screen at the end of the show. They start tape. Jay says "Here are your 10 finalists!" Everyone claps. Crises averted!

Oops. There's that little thing called the internet where reality fans love to dig. It gets out about Drew and Brett walking out because it was rigged. The D&Ps now have to address the issue or else the show will look completely bogus. Luckily, they have a bunch of tape from those other cameras that kept rolling when they stopped tape. They put together a little package showing the controversy with the producer trying to put a good spin on it. Added it to the end of the show and poof, everything is fine again.

Well, not in my book. The show was rigged from the start. They tried to get away with it and couldn't. Drew and Brett and the other two were used to promote the show. If the D&Ps were just upfront about it from the start and not make it look like an open competition I'd be fine. Pick the ten comedians and put them in the house and start the show from there.

Oh well. I'm not going to stop watching. The group they have are funny people and I enjoy comedy. I know it will be a hit and the producers will think they got away with it. That's the only problem. It will encourage them to do it again and again. Thank goodness for the internet. At least it keeps them a little honest!

One more thing. This makes me wonder if the results are real during the heads up competition. I don't remember any applause meter from last year. Who knows if the even care what they audience thinks.

Yeah Hobbs, I would bet my left big toe that Dave really beat Dat Phan. I thought Dave was soooo much funnier & didn't even laugh at Dat. If my memory is clear, based on the audience participation when ea. of them preformed, Dave should have won hands down.

Same with Ralphie, Texasdeb.

I can't believe that Jay guy made it. OK, one liners are funny, but you can't do a whole routine of just one-liners, it gets real old, real fast. I think he only made it because he would make a good "character" in the house.

That Dan guy that was pissed off (as he should have been) was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Funny bit there, too.

Carrie what all did he say on Jimmy Kimmel? Was it an interview or did he just do standup?

(not to totally thread hijack, but..) I had my surreal moment last night watching this show-- I went to junior high with the producer they had working to get the guy to fly out from Chicago/Topeka... (Mark Pontrelli) Very strange-- we weren't close friends or anything but I definitely recognized him. Good to see he's doing well (probably??)!

I think the producers definately padded the house for what they believe will make the best show. Nothing wrong here except that the folks that KNEW they had funnier sets than the chosen but were sent packing may have some struggles with this.

If they wanted Todd Glass, Ant & maybe some of the others that weren't quite as funny, Why didn't they just put them in the house to start with & fill the remainder of the 10 slots by talent. Would have made more sence.

Don't try to make us & the folks that put so much of themselves into this believe that these few "chosen" folks went through the same path. It's just not going to happen.

hmm Putter...I have read the spoilers so I guess those of us who have done so, in all fairness, should not play. Is that right? Spoilers tell us who goes in what order and who gets challenged a lot.

I didn't know there were spoilers. We can cancel it. Maybe that's why I didn't do good in this one last year- lol!!

Hey, Putter lots of people never read spoilers ..they may want to play. Actually, I want to play..it just wouldn't be fair.

(unless the spoilers prove to be totally wrong after week 1!!!)

Putter, I read the spoilers too. I read them here at TVCH (where I read all the spoilers :>)).

There weren't any spoilers out last year, though. (That I know about).

p.s. hope life is getting better for you.

No spoilers last year that I saw. There is a list out for this year but we don't know if it is true.

Putter, even if one used the spoiler for who got booted they won't know about the challenges and who the other head to heads are.

Thanks, Abby7. We're hanging in there, but its not looking good. They've given my father 6-9 mos.

I'll do the poll if theres enough interest, but so far nobody else has made picks, so it might not be meant to be. I had cut back to just this one and Celebrity Poker since I don't have the time I did, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings any.
