I thought they ALL serously bombed in the Laundromat.

Corey WAS the best ... because he "read" the audience and environment and adapted ... but he was only the best of the bad.

I would venture a guess that a few of us here could have done better. ... You know ... created our own "Soap" Opera scenario ... Maybe ... Welcome to 'As the Dryer Turns', 'All My Mis-matched Socks', or something ? ...

Corey did good, played to the audience well.

I realized that I really don't like Ant. Seriously, I get it, he's gay. TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE! Since when is being gay a whole routine? And look what a little whiny punk he is. First, he starts an aliance with Alonzo, Jay, and Tammy. He wants to railroad Todd for whatever reason. He talks to Bonnie, makes her swear not to tell anyone. And what does he do? Run to Tammy and relay the whole conversation. Then he tells John to vote against Bonnie 'or else'. Horrible. Tammy is a close second. She chokes at the laundermat and gets all *****y with Bonnie. And she convinces Ant to go after Todd 'mafia' style. Please. What a joke. This chick has watched Goodfellas too many times.

The alliance in the first house was different Mordal, Vos, Ralphie, and what's her name were the 'cool' comics. They were also the strongest. They wanted to make sure the lightweights were ousted so they big guns could duke it out.

This new alliance is just the opposite. I think they all know they are the weakest comics so the want to take out some of the heavy hitters. That's part of the game, I suppose. The others better wake up soon and get it together.

Gary, John, Todd, and Corey should take on Ant. Get that whiny, scheming little jerk out of the house.

My predictions for next week: Todd vs. Ant. Todd wins.

-HECK!

Did they not watch last years show and know that there was a reason that they were in the laundry mat? I think Corey got it. Tammy however did not. Don't get me wrong I like Tammy but she should at least have tried. You just can't refuse to perform and expect to win this competition.

Do these guys have some other material. I've heard the same stuff on every show so far. Sure they are performing to different audience but come on, they are also on TV every week.

Come on guys give us something else.

No doubt. I know already voiced my opinion about Ant, but that dude not only has used the same material in every set so far, he had the same crap last year. Horrible.

-HECK!

Most of them are using the same material. I want to see something new.

Well, it's either their act isn't very deep or NBC is doing a bad job of editing their sets for television.

-HECK!

I thought stand-up comics were supposed to have more depth and adaptability, in fact that is true with any performance art.

C'mon ... even if Ant wants to focus his material on being gay, there still are many things he could have done with that "theme" in the Laundomat venue ... stereotypical maybe ... but at least FUNNY things.

Maybe they don't have the same level of comedic talent this season ?

It's ironic, because the producers actually did allow a higher level of comedic talent. Last season if a comic had appeared on Letterman, Leno, etc., then they could not participate. That was not the case this year.

The thing is, comedians have an act. Some are deeper than others. They go from town to town with their act. All different audiences see it, so it's new to them. The television audience, in a way, is on tour with them, seeing their act over and over so it's getting stale.

True, a lot of comics do have more material, but we've yet to see the whole set of any one comic. Only bits and pieces. Like I pondered before, NBC could be somewhat at fault for a sloppy editing job. Or perhaps it's a ploy to lure in people who haven't seen the show up until now. They get to see the 'A' material right away. They can get away with it for now, but in a few weeks the people who've watched it from the start will start changing the channel.

-HECK!
