Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know that there are still some tickets left so please buy them ASAP if you want to go. I would hate for you guys to come to the door and you cant get in. You can purchase them online til 2PM tmw (7/11). If you dont have time to purchase by then, please come by a bit early because I will have a handful of tickets left to sell at the door.

Esther Ku got the most votes to be kicked off of Last Comic Standing by the other comics. Her load laughing was one of the reasons. When she had to pick two other comics to compete against to prevent elimination, Ku chose God’s Pottery and Iliza Shlesinger. However, Ester Ku did the same comic routine again, but did not fair too well further in her set. Iliza Shlesinger ended up getting over 60% of the audience vote and elimated both Esther Ku and God’s Pottery. As a minor consolation, God’s Pottery was eliminated before Esther Ku was. (BTW – Esther Ku was recently on NPR.)

Earlier this week, So You Think You Can Dance had the show’s first Bollywood routine. Katee Shean and Joshua Allen got the dance selection after picking it from a hat. Although there were many skeptical people, the pair walked away with the best performance of the night. They danced to “Dhoom Taana” from the “Om Shanti Om” with choreography by Nakul Dev Mahajan. (Bollywood dance routines are very difficult.) This routine will go down as one of the season’s most memorable and will definitely end up on the tour. BTW – Nigel Lythgoe has tried to get a Bollywood routine on the show for 3 years.
