He wore a black&white print shirt with black pants.  I was kinda hoping
he'd come out in blue jeans. His buns are ok but wide.  I like em tight and 
thin, not quite so wide. Of course that doesn't mean that I don't like him.
He got down on his knees for Erica. Then when he started talking about
Biaaaaaaannnnnnnnnccccccccca, he spit on the floor(which was kinda gross but
appropriate) and he pratically got a standing ovation. It's good to know
that other people hated Bianca as much as we all did.

Yeah, he used the F word quite a few times when I saw him too. I think 
sometimes comedians think they have to say it so their joke is funny.
I don't think it's necessary as much as some of them say it, once in a
while is ok just not all the time.

I've heard funnier and I've heard worse, overall I thought he was pretty
good.

I agree with the believe it when we see it theory but at least this rumor
is coming from someone on the show who I would think to be semi reliable.

Yes, he did Lilly Willey.
