Ralphie May - the winner by FAR.

I was thinking about you during his routine, because I thought if that didn't get you to like him, nothing would. I was shocked at how quickly he won me over. He was ON tonight. I wasn't overly impressed with him before tonight, but he set the bar so incredibly high when he started off the show. He is so natural up there, it's obvious that his statement that he's more comfortable on stage wasn't just mere words.

Dat Phan - ...You're almost making Bebo sound right about you.

He had a tough act to follow, and he didn't follow well. And ending his routine with a joke from one of the challenges was not a strong finish.

Tess - So sorry, but I expected more.

Total agreement with you there.

Rich Vos

Had some moments, but I kept waiting for him to really take charge like Ralphie did, and it didn't happen.

Cory Kahaney - I'm sure that the women of this board (*waves at Bebo*) enjoyed her material.

Yeah, I did enjoy her. But I think Ralphie earned the win tonight, and I really hope he gets it. You could feel it in the crowd too. They gave each of the comics a standing ovation at the end of their routines, but with Ralphie, they were jumping out of their seats before he finished. For the others, it felt like there was a flashing sign instructing the audience to stand.
