Abby7 | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 09:14 pm     okay, so far i'm only at the part where the joke on dat was played out. the way they laughed so hard...hysterically, to make him feel even worse is what is bugging me so much right now. so mean. funny, but not when they are just doing it to be mean to Dat and only Dat. |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 09:39 pm     Oh...did anyone else think Dave Mordal's "pitch" was incredibly hilarious? O...M...G The stuttering terrorist with the bomb threats and the bomb maker with one finger left. Okay, maybe not exactly APPROPRIATE but I have to tell you I was rolling. |
Hotlantan | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 06:37 am     Most viewers might not realize this, but The Invisible Man a/k/a "The Black Guy" has not been challenged yet because he was probably the best known in the industry among the ten in the house. Geoff Brown was the very last original ('94) Star Search $100,000 Comedy Grand Champion, and the others may assume that he has several finely tuned sets ready to unleash on the first challenger. It is a shame that he never broke out like so many SS comedy alumni who are now all gazillionaires. Since the final vote is in the hands of the American public, "The Black Guy" does not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning this contest, but at least it seems the other comics know and respect his skills. If only the show editors would show Geoff stringing together two consecutive sentences, then the viewers might also get a reason to at least learn his name.... |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 08:23 am     I loved Dave Mordal's pitch. He's hilarious. I think the reason they don't like Dat is because he doesn't want to be a true comedian, the kind who hits the road and goes to small clubs in every town across the country to perfect his act. That's what a "real" comedian, even someone like Leno or Seinfeld, thrive on and Dat isn't interested -- he's like an imposter. I'm very curious about how this show will progress. This was filmed a while ago but these guys are supposedly waiting for this to resume so America can vote? I'm not sure I like that. Seeing an act in a club is very different from watching it on tv at home. |
Mware | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:09 am     I have to take exception to the comment in the preview for next week that Dat hasn't said one funny thing since he came into the house. After he found out that the group didn't even try to look for him after all that time, he said something along the lines of "I'm never playing that game with you again!" That had me ROTFLMAO! Never playing that game again? Ya think?  |
Hobbs | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:11 am     I LOVE THIS SHOW. Big Brother with laughs. I was really rolling on the couch and crying during the hide and seek game. Ralphie just sitting there reading his book with the dead pan was priceless! The rat thing last week was just as good. They need to let a rat go loose in the BB house. Ants just don't cut it. |
Heyltslori | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:41 am     LOL Mware! That cracked me up too. So did the stuttering terrorist. |
Chance | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:12 pm     I read, with great interest the above posts re comedians are so cut throat etc. I also have repeatedly read that most comedians (prepare for mass generalization)are not happy or particularly funny in day to day life. Comedy is their job and they are often kind of depresso in real life. |
Luvsreality | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:53 pm     It makes me really mad to see these guys pick on Dat so much. I hope he wins just for putting up with all of those ego maniacs. |
Abby7 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 07:23 pm     Even though I, too, hate the bullying of Dat....I want the comic who is the funniest to win. America's vote shouldn't be who they feel is the nicest, but it should be who they feel is the funniest IMO. I think Dat is funny, (funnier than many still left in the house) but not the funniest. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 07:44 am     Chance, I recently watched the Seinfeld documentary "Comedian". While it's not a great film, I did find it interesting to get a peek at an enormously successful comedian and his angst as he tries to create new material on the road. Abby, I don't want the public voting in sympathy or niceness either. I want the funniest guy to win (oops, that right there gives away that I want Voss or Dave Mordal to win!) Dat is funny, but not the funniest. |
Hobbs | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 06:06 am     Brenda, I think Tess is naturally funny too. I think it will be close between the 3 of them. |
Puttergirl | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 04:04 pm     Hobbs, I like Tess the best also. Her comedy seems so natural to me. |
Pamy | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Tess is funny but I am really getting annoyed at her constant "I am the best" talk. I am assuming she is only kidding but it is getting a little old. I love this show!! |
Puttergirl | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:03 am     I've just seen it as part of her act. |
Pamy | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:34 am     It probably is P-girl, but the other people don't seem to be 'on' all the time. I would like to see a little of the real Tess to know for sure this IS her act and not how she really is. |
Essence | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 03:52 pm     I was watching a show called Funny Money that airs on the Game Show Network. Tess was one of the comedians on the show. It was either Tuesday or Wednesday night. They mentioned that she was recently on the show Last Comic Standing. I don't know when the game show was filmed, but if they are doing a portion of LCS live, maybe Tess doesn't make it that far. |
Marysafan | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 12:53 pm     The final show will be live until then the comics are making appearances and doing shows. Tess, Ralphie, and Dat just did a gig together in Irvine, CA and Rich, Cory, and Dave are appearing together in NYC. Dat's friend Eddie says that Dat likes to get positive emails and often responds when he has time. His email addy is datphan75@Yahoo.com. I am a huge fan of this show...while on a camping trip last week, I actually came out of the woods to find a tv so that I could watch. I am not a total nutcase however and didn't stop the car to look for Dave in Elk River, MN....okay...so I THOUGHT about it...but I didn't do it!!!!! |
Aunt_Bob | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:25 pm     LOL - - oh, Mare...you've got it bad...but that is a GOOD thing!!! I'm loving this show, too. The peeps (Dave, Tess & Rick) are so 'real' & I can relate to them alot. Enjoy!!!  |
Marysafan | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 02:40 pm     Okay people ....listen up....you have to watch the show tonight. I have it on very good authority (Ralphie May himself) that the promos for tonight's show are true. It is a real"shocker". Ralphie says that they were all shocked and claims we will be too. So don't miss it tonight! I am predicting that Dat Phan fails in his quest for immunity and gets voted out...he chooses non other than the don himself Rich Vos. Dat wins the head to head ...and we say bye bye to the New Jersey guy. |
Jan | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 02:51 pm     hmmmm MAry..you know Ralphie and Eddie (Dat's friend) and....who are you? PS Thanks muchly for the heads up! |
Heyltslori | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 02:52 pm     Ok Mary, but in the head to head Rich needs to win. That's how I voted this week and I really need to do some catching up! I can't wait to see the show tonight! |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 03:29 pm     I figured the shocker had to be that Dat wins the head to head. I'll just die if Voss or Mordal go home tonight. I love this show. Why can't it be on 3 days a week instead of boring BB? |
Aunt_Bob | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 04:29 pm     *Chuckling at Brenda's last statement.* |
Abby7 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 05:06 pm     Marysafan: I wish I had read your post before putting my vote in lol. I agree...the shocker must be that Rich gets voted out. Who else would Ralphie be so shocked about? |
