Kurts pretty much the only newish stand-up I like these days in a sea of hipster PC snowflakes. Precious-lite was pretty good I admit and I think they probably put her through because they see this as a launching point for her career whereas Kurt is an established comic, but cmon Kurt Metzger was made for *beep* like this.
shareI agree Kurt was robbed.I believe it could be two things,either the judges wanted to go with black female sympathy or it could be their massive ego's at play.Comedy is a pretty hard business and it appears there's lots of bitching,backstabbing *beep* going on so it's quite probable that the judges see the really funny new guys as a competition to them so they try to nip them at the bud
sharehe was only there to push his opponent. he's too well known to win this thing. Todd Barrey is gonna lose next round for the same reason.
shareKurt Softballed it and acted like a wrestler who's been told by the boss "hey you gotta lose this one but don't make it super obvious". However with that said? Yameneka CLEARLY killed it regardless of what kurt did. The audience laughed more,reacted more.
This show? Is basically about those entrenched comics giving their friends a chance to shine, the fix was in last year and it's in this year.
the judges highlighted the fact she ate a piece of chicken. the object of the game is to insult your opponent, that was funny but not even something that should be judged on. tht's like someone on the Voice being picked b/c Adam Levine likes their sneakers. ... kinda. i don't friggin know. point remains, Metzger was never going deep in this tourney
