11. The Players Club
The Players Club is a group of black dancers who specialize in Step, which is like Stomp, except with an E and no O or M. I think they are pretty great, definitely better than the Dancing SIBOs that got such high praise last week. Sure, it's nothing that you can't see in any subway station in New York City, but it's like the BEST version of it, and they're not asking you for money after they're done or telling you about the rebirth of Christ. Piers says no, because he doesn't see the audience for them. Brandy disagrees, but she tells them that they have to get tight before they come back. She then busts out some moves from her "Top of the World" video featuring Mase, just in case they want some pointers. The Hoff is also pleased with them and their energy, and the Players Club gets voted through.
12. The Laughing Yogi
This was horrible. The Laughing Yogi is an old Yoga instructor who has been told by the divine spirits that he's supposed to bring joy into this world through laughter. He's about to get told by my foot in his ass that the divine spirits are wrong. X X X.
13. Quick Change Artists
Everyone was floored by this male-female magic duo who kept making their outfits change right in front of our very eyes. Ehh, I wasn't super impressed. I obviously don't know exactly how they did it, but it's not totally mind boggling to me like some of the stuff the Mindfreak does. Yikes. Maybe I should blame that bastard David Blaine, but my taste for magic has totally diminished ever since his "watch me walk across the street and buy a hot dog" style of magic invaded the pop culture consciousness. There was a time when someone like David Copperfield would make MAC trucks disappear and get Claudia Schiffer to marry him. Now I see magic and I just want to spit in David Blaine's face, wherever he may be. But back to the issue at hand, the Quick Change Artists are impressive, just not to me. They are going through.
There you have it. Now the stakes are really raised next week. Can't wait to see what happens next! Chances are it won't be all that great, but chances are even greater that I will be entertained.

I have seen Quick Change perform at halftime at a Sonics game, and they really are pretty amazing. And I'm not easy to amaze...

I saw that Mark "The Knife" guy at Fright Fest a couple times here at the Six Flags in Illinois. He did the same act he did on the show but he did some crazy ish at the night show.

Thanks for keeping me up to date on the show, Umnata. I'm still not watching but I saw Flippy on the Soup and I thought it was "cute". When I read the recaps I wonder are they raiding the mental hospitals to find some of these people? Scary to think they are walking around appearing normal most of the time. Well, maybe some of the time.
