Round of 7
July 19
Last week, we had comics
perform. This week, only 7 will advance and the other 3
will go away sadly. After the intro goes up, and after
we see the judges (and a few bad jokes by Craig
Robinson), we start into...
The first eliminations! Dun Dun dunnnnnnn!!!! As a
primer, this is who I had ranked last week...
LAST WEEK'S POWER
RANKINGS
Mike DeStefano
Johnathan Thymius
Myq Kaplan
Roy Wood Jr.
Laurie Kilmartin
Tommy Johnagin
Rachel Feinstein
James Adomian
Felipe Esparza
Maronzio Vance
Projected Eliminated: James Adomian, Maronzio Vance,
Laurie Kilmartin
Mike DeStefano, Roy Wood Jr., James Adomian and Myq
Kaplan show up. Based on my rankings, James is toast.
Mike D...WILL be performing. Roy Wood Jr...WILL be
performing. James Adomian and Myq Kaplan are left. The
person leaving...is...James. Myq advances and we see
James' funeral video. Awww.
We start with Mike DeStefano, who talks about paying for
people to not bother him, and not driving with a jacket.
His set last week was a lot stronger.
Roy Wood Jr. Is next. he supports the U.S. soccer team
but enjoys porn and video games and how it's bad if the
Lakers lost to Al Quida. Then he gets mad when
minorities who get their rights are annoyed when other
groups go for their equal rights. I like this set better
this week than last week. Good stuff.
Myq wants to know who's ready to listen. He asks about
dumb people and being gay-friendly. And Jew-Friendly. He
also talks about breast-feeding and not allowing extra
food in the theater that way - and his extra-affairs
with his girlfriend. Like Roy, I thought this set was
better this week than last week, though I'm concerned
about how his material could set some people off....
Who's up for Round 2 of comic eliminations? Orur next 4
is are Rachel Feinstein, Tommy Johnagin, Laurie
Kilmartin and Felipe Esparza. The next one out
is....Laurie Kilmartin? Aw. Well I'm now 2 for 2 in
projected eliminations.
But someone not eliminated is Rachel Feinstein, who
talks about douches living in Vegas talking about Vodka
up the Ass. She continues with how that's the latest
book by Deepak Chopak and that's how she ends the set.
She had a much better set this week also.
Tommy Johnagin is newly single, and he only wants to
talk to people who had their hearts broken. If they
don't it's crazy but the people who went through it
understands - or have done worse. And then there's the
girlfriend who saves one thousand, twenty one hundred
dollars, which is what his auto mechanic charged him. It
was nice, but the audience didn't react and I wonder
about that...
Felipe is up now, and he talks about his gated community
- the windows, back door, front door, etc. A Haunted
house costs $20 to get in and $30 to get out while the
GF came out with hickies and a cold sore. It's time for
'Who Wants to be a Natural Citizen, the game show'. We
also hear about him going off on kids cartoons and
learning English. Like the other comics, I thought he
stepped it up, though he did blow a joke in the middle.
We get our final elimination with Johnathan Thymius Vs.
Maronzio Vance. Based on the ratings, I would be shocked
if Johnathan went home. However, it would also mean I
got all 3 right and that would shock me just as much.
The person eliminated....is....Maronzio. Wow. Got them
all right. SHOCK!
Now on to Johnathan, who talks about not being a devil
and reading 'Satin'. he went to field trips to Grandma's
House, the bf's house and the liquor store. He went to
the massage parlor and got a more realistic ending. He
also teabagged toilet water and does an impression of
his friend Marty. That fell flat, but the rest of his
skit was pretty funny. I still liked his set last week
better, but that set will help him this week, which
wasn't bad either.
POWER RANKINGS
Roy Wood Jr.
Myq Kaplan
Johnathan Thymius
Felipe Esparza
Rachel Feinstein
Tommy Johnagin
Mike DeStefano
So it looks like only 1 comic is leaving. If that's the
case, then Tommy and Mike are in trouble. I'll say Tommy
leaves, because ike had a good set last week and Tommy
has been average twice. Will that happen? Will I be
right again? Join us in 7 days to find out.
