Perhaps I was misreading the intent of your post? It sounded like you were telling your readers that you were making educated guesses at who would be eliminated…and being accurate at it. You plainly laid out the caveats that your analysis avoided any personal prefeneces or emotional involvement, so your conclusions were based on what you thought might happen, not what you wanted to happen (if indeed you have any personal prefences).

So I was curious why you wouldn’t share the fruit of that labor – the impersonal prediction, not your review or personal preferences.(As a working comic I imagine the latter would be uncomfortable).

Until your reply I did not realize that you simply don’t want to do that. Fair enough.

(BTW, it was clear from the first LCS post that you bore no animosity towards anyone and wished them all well; I enjoyed the diary.)

I assume that the reason the judges were missing last week is that because with ten contestants there was not enough time for their (the judges) commentary anyway. The episodes are not as long as they were at the beginning of the season.

Also I noticed Robinson’s reluctance to touch contestants as well. At least two of them tried to shake his hand and he seemed resistant. Maybe he was trying to avoid the appearance of favoritism?

Nice article as always.

nice job Brian. There were a couple of very good, seasoned comics there, yourself included. It’s always great to come out on top but, still, at the end of the day it’s all kinda fun anyway.

bragging? us? keep in mind, we also implied that we were shadow producing the show from afar. we joke around from time to time. you are quite serious one, bill holmes. as for letting our pwersonal preferences known, we do not do that all that often. we do not do a whole lot of reviewing. as we like to say, what we think of you is none of your business. besides, we competed against these people and we wish them all well.

“We’ll limit our observations to this: Of the contestants sent home tonight, we accurately predicted the demise of two of them (won’t say which ones) and we predicted (privately) the other one would be eliminated next week.”

Since you have the disclaimer of stating that you’re just vote gambling and it’s not a personal decision,,,what’s with the secrecy? What’s wrong with saying “we like Myq Kaplan but think America will torch him next week”? That’s not offending anyone – you’re talking about what you think a voting body will do apart from whatever your own feelings might be.

If you’re going to predict in secret, then keep it a secret. Why even bother bragging about how prescient you might have been?

Brian, I really wish you had been selected as the “middle-aged, white guy” demographic representative. The guy that did get picked, as funny as his first set was, appeared to have run out of material last week, and this week, it became obvious when he repeated the material from his first set! I don’t see how he can go on again. I’m pretty sure you would have kept pumping out good material! (I’m starting to miss things like the laundrymat comedy contest)

Couple things…are they actually judges or just cheerleaders?? love them all as comedians but it just got redundant with their ”you’re great (insert funny quip to make me look funny too)” kinda thing…also did the comics know they were eliminated already because their ”farewell video” or lack there of, they seemed like they already knew or was that something production told every comic to do just in case??? Regardless like last week without the judges more than this week…
