Saturday, May 2nd, 2009Was it ever a spectacular final round of contestants last night. People came from all across the Globe to compete, but only four talented competitors could move on. The fabulously funny competitors from the first show were Michelle Henderson from Texas and Toronto’s own Mark Forward.
The second show proved to be another batch of stiff competition, but it was London (England’s) Imran Yusof and Jeff Elliot who prevailed.
Right now, the semi final competition is taking place to determine who the eight finalists will be for tomorrow night’s show. Stay tuned for another post about our final show competitors.
Nerd alert!
