Did you guys watch the results show last night? Um, how the HELL is Tim Urban still on? And, why am I finding myself liking him more. I don’t want to! Ugh.

Let’s talk about the results after the jump…

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!Big Mike was voted off last night, but the judges used their BIG SAVE card on him…so he gets another week.

I know how most of you Gasmii feel about Big Mike…but I think that the judges did the right thing. Don’t get me wrong, I was initially shocked that they saved him, but I’d rather it be him over Tim or Katie.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I thought last night’s show was a waste of an hour. The “entertainment” was some of the worst they’ve ever booked. And it was no surprise they saved Mike.

    Big Mike needed some humble pie.

    His facial expressions were helarious to watch as he thought he was America’s darling and a shoe in for the finals from the get-go.

    Utter shock at the audacity of him at the bottom 2 and then when he was out – priceless. His wife’s hysterics were entertaining as well.

    Big Mike it is time to put up AND shut up. Nothing’s a sure thing.

    PS I have a strange feeling the judges are going to live to regret this “save”

    You know, some anthropologists believe you can tell civilization’s decline by the quality of what they call “entertainment.” For example, toward the end, the Romans were throwing loads more people into to pits to be torn to shreds by vicious critters, staged epic sea battles in arenas, all the while their people were starving in the streets and barbarians were at the gates. One of their emperors even liked to stage horrid monologues that people were required to sit through wide-awake else they be killed in their seats. (I wonder if Simon is using electrified seats to make all those people leap up and scream? I wouldn’t put it past him …)

    But I imagine even the Romans would have balked at the murder of innocent Beatles songs by the singers rounded up for this season. (Granted, they had some morals, those Romans; I bet Paris Hilton would have made an amuse bouche for some starving lion within a few minutes.) Half were unwatchable and a few were so boring I played Scrabble on my iPod through the performances, waiting for the singers to come on. The rest – Casey, Lee, Crystal – were decent, but there’s not really anyone with a spark this season.

    Last season at least the people had a hunger. This season, the popping was left to the wives of some of the singers. Ugh. I don’t care about backstory if the people can’t get on a stage and deliver.

    I found the grand pageantry of last night’s results show was ridiculous, starting with that Kara’s boyfriend.

    You know, throwing a kid in a studded jacket and tilted hat, sparkling gloves and adding huge pyrotechnics, does not a Michael Jackson one make. Crap sprayed with rose perfume still smells like crap underneath it all, and last night was an overblown mess. Then Archie played and I wanted him to (a) age dammit and (b) get a hair cut, because that Mr. Bean skullcap thing is horrid. Ok, I was never a fan of him. Buble does it better. And I *hate* Buble.

    And then Big Mike got eliminated and reinstated like some sort of dying god, like flip said, and holy flipping cow, Easter was last weekend, morons, Ryan stop effing crying already. America is just stupid enough to vote his arse off again next week b/c he is not going to shrink down to the size of the pretty pixiestick boys performing around him.

    I’m starting to really dislike these people. Last season, we had one Gokey; this season we have a plethora of Gokeys (Gokies? Gokees – like the Monkees, only lamer?): Hair Gokey (Casey); MexiGokey (Andrew), BigGokey (Big Mike), ScreamingGokey (Sio) … oh and Kris Allen 2.0, whose name I am never going to learn, b/c, eh, I’m done with this season. I’m going to stick with Flip’s recaps and save my eardrums the pain.
