Anyone else a little creeped out by Dat? I can understand being enthusiastic about your trade, but his notebook deal is a little excessive (he documents every act he does, scientifically analyzes his jokes, etc.). I think he got put on the show to be someone the audience can root for since he was so poor, but he's more of a nerd and a downer than anything else. I hope he gets booted next week.
Also, has anyone else seen these comics already? I know I saw Rich Vos on Tough Crowd once, and I also saw a little of him on the USO Comedy Tour that was showing on Comedy Central. Ralphie May looks a little familiar - maybe a clip or two on BET or something that I saw. Anyway, Jay Mohr was on Kimmel a while back and admitted to having friends in the house that he knew before the show started. Sounds a little sketchy to me.
I like the show overall. I like that going or staying isn't purely social. I hate when the only aspect of the contest is conspiring and alliances and crap like Survivor. At least on this show even if you get voted you can stay if you hold your own. And to answer someone's question, there's not as much hamming as I was expecting. They joke around constantly because they're comedians, but they're not turning to the camera and doing schtick or anything.
