Realitynut | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 03:57 pm     Bracken - I love the underdog also. I am hoping Dat wins because of the way he's treated by the others. They think they are so superior to him. |
Texasdeb | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 04:51 pm     I guess anyone should be given an equal chance to win. Dat is "different" than the others & just b/cause I find everyone else funnier for me than him doesn't mean he doesn't have his followers. I liked Dave & Rich because I like "sick" humor & I think these guys would deliver. I like Tess & Cory & Ralphie b/cause they make fun of real life stuff. I just don't identify w/any of Dat's material. I wouldn't buy his comic CD, pay to see his show, or watch him on comic central. Any of the others - I would. |
Texasdeb | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 04:54 pm     Oh, another thought - that Geo guy (or whatever his name is - the black guy) What the heck is he still hanging around for - why, after Shawn's evection, when he didn't go w/the group didn't they gang up on him. |
Jhezzie | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 05:14 pm     Great interview. Thanks for the link! I wonder if he will ever e-mail me back? I wrote him after he lost and whined. Too bad they couldn't have trapped and released Dat... |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:29 pm     Nobody watching?? This is great. They all had to vote and nobody was exempt. Geoff got 3 votes, but he doesn't get to decide who he goes up against. They just brought back the 4 other comics who each get to speak their minds before picking who they want on the stage with Geoff. Rob, Dave, and Tere are smiling and laughing, but Sean looks serious and ready to take them on!!!! |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:37 pm     Oooooh, poor Dat has to go again!! The 4 eliminated folks unanimously voted for him. Dat is shocked! |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:37 pm     Wow,Puttergirl! Sounds like great DRAMA. I figured they would go after Geoff this week, but I didn't have a clue they would bring the others back to pick his opponent. (I'll be able to see the show in a few hours--I'm on the west coast). |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:39 pm     Dat must feel HATED by this group! Did the others pick Dat unanimously? |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:40 pm     Oh--nevermind. Now, I see where you did say "unanimously" (oops) |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:49 pm     Hobobabe, as a matter of fact, Dat spoke to the camera and asked "Why do they hate me so? What did I do to make them hate me?" He does feel very picked upon. |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:52 pm     Oh my...I feel for him. (I'm checking out now--will watch ending on TV). |
Jan | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Dat won it two nights in a row..again by 77%!! Voss tells him he doesn't know how famous that makes him (pp) since he won two nights in a row..beating veteran comics. cory said he was even funnier than when he went against Dave |
Bracken | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 08:53 pm     Yeah, I'm calling tonight's show "Revenge of Dat Vietnamese comic." At least Geoff didn't blame anybody else and took his loss well. I like most of the others but really don't like this whole coalition thing. I'm just hoping Dat takes out Vos, too. At this point, I'm rooting for Dat but plan to vote for whoever is funnier. |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 10:06 pm     Great show tonight! Now that the general public will be voting, I think these comics may have shot themselves in the foot by "picking" on Dat Phan. He might just get the sympathy vote--whether he is the funniest or not. (I did think he was funnier than Geoff tonight). |
Realitynut | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 10:22 pm     Dat has my sympathy vote. I love the underdog. After watching the way these other comics treat him, I don't think they are very funny at all, and I wouldn't watch them live or on TV. |
Curious1 | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:17 pm     I saw Cory Kahaney (sp?) tonight on the Carson Daly show. I laughed a few times at her act but I really didn't think she was all that funny. We will see how she does in Vegas but I'm not too overly impressed so far. |
Pamy | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 12:04 am     I thought this show was taped all ready, is the final live? Is next wek the final show? I never undertood why they picked on dat so much, Good for him, I hope he wins!!! |
Ladytex | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:52 am     Why are y'all ready to assume that it's everybody else's fault that they don't like Dat? Maybe it's him, maybe he's done something that we haven't seen. We don't see what goes on in that house 24/7. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:38 am     Good point Ladytex. I think it is his compulsive nature that is at the bottom of it. There were a few comments about that. That does not condone their behavior, however. There are respectful ways to handle most situations. |
Fluff | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:52 am     The only reason why they probably like to pick on Dat is because they know it upsets him. Personally, I don't think any of them are funny. |
Eliz87 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:54 am     It's just that the other comics don't have any respect for Dat because he's only been "on the road" one time. The rest of them have apparently been busting their as*es for years trying to get their names out there and perfecting their acts. They feel that Dat hasn't yet paid his dues (nor does he have any plans to) and this makes them think he's not a "real comedian" like them. That's why they wouldn't want to see him win. Plus, they also don't think he's funny around the house because he doesn't have quick comebacks, etc. and the chart-making stuff, meditation and karate exercises kind of weird them out. |
Max | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:02 am     Plus, Dat has made it plain that he's really not interested in a standup comedy career. What he wants to do is act. He's just using this as a stepping stone. They don't respect that. It KILLED me at the end last night when he said that junk about how he KNOWS he has a gift for comedy and that he's good at it. Geez, if he would stop making fun of his racial background, he would have NO material. That's what bugs me about him -- he's a one-trick pony. I prefer more social commentary comedy such as Rich and Dave do. It's much more intelligent and flexible. The stuff they do could be done by anyone. The stuff Dat does would be considered racist if anyone other than a person with a Vietnamese or other Asian background tried to do it. To me, that's cheap comedy that's done at the expense of others. |
Fluff | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:21 am     I totally agree. I didn't find it very funny. And that Kory irritates me. Okay, I know I've only watched this show once, but I think she is so NOT funny. |
Essence | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:24 am     Max, I totally agree with your statement about Dat's performances. He is a one-topic comedian. Not funny at all. I have a feeling he will win this competition because people will vote for him just because others in the house don't like him. What a way to become the last comic standing. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:53 am     I totally agree with Max. Dat has one ethinic joke that is retold in different form. He doesn't want to be a "comedian" he just wants a sitcom. I guess he fails to realize that he just wants to be a funny actor because a real comedian continues to do standup, even if he has a real gig like a TV show. If people vote for Dat based on sympathy, that will be a shame. I thought he was funnier than Geoff last night and deserved the win based on humor, not on pity. Everyone seems to focus on Dat getting picked on, but didn't Cory help him win the immunity? Didn't we see Ralphie checking on him after they found out about the elimination? If some of you don't think these comedians are funny, why the heck are you watching?! I love this show. I think they can all be funny when performing. |
