Comparing London to Dat Phan makes my skin crawl. Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww! Dat Phan was a one trick pony.
I, too, loved Dave Mordal. He's awesome. In my book, he's been the best of the best.
Although he had a great delivery and strong presence, I don't think Ant got votes because his material probably doesn't appeal to mainstream America. Same goes for Bonnie. I like a lot of Bonnie's material; however, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of women are turned off by her sense of humor.
Personally, I was surprised Todd faired as well as he did. I thought Corey did a much better job Tuesday night. Todd, although I find him entertaining, lacks discipline and his presentation is rather unpolished. Corey, although I am not wild about some of his material, is very entertaining. His honesty and charm buys him points with me.
Tammy's material is very old Vegas. I am Italian and am really unamuzed with her Gumba material. What I like even less is her personality. She is obviously talented and intelligent, so why does she have to say mean-spirited things about the others and rely on sterotyping her people for laughs? Tammy, too, has good stage presence but her attitude gets a big zero.
Alonzo is a very clever comic. I admire his intelligence, talent, delivery, sense of discipline and style. Humor is no laughing matter with him. It's work and he's good at it.
Kathleen does little for me. I don't dislike her. She simply hasn't made much of an impression on me.
I think both John and Gary have reallly good material, are very creative and both know how to work an audience. I don't think John has a winning personality, but Gary seems to have a lot of appeal with audiences. John has a good look for a comic; Gary is a good looking comic. ;-)
Although I would love to see Jay London win (please, oh please), I think America will chose Alonzo, Gary and John to be the last three standing. If Tammy makes it that far, I may never laugh again...especially if she beats out Jay.
