Where did it go wrong?

You talk about the new studio and him working cleaner but here is my opinion. I actually felt like anything prior to the new studio in August 2012 was pretty clean. I don't know how you all felt but I felt as though anytime Craig would talk dirty or make a dirty joke he never really went through with it, it was always hinted at, he never went indepth where as later on it was like.......everything is sex, gay sex, gay men having sex, straight guys having sex with other straight guys, girl sex, every pun had to do with sex, sex sex sex! What's the point?

As for Craig as a man. I always believed him when he said it was just a job, it wasn't his life. What that meant to me was he did it as long as he had fun. WHen Craig took on that extra 2 hours for all that extra money he should have put 100% effort in every night. He didn't. That surprised me because I thought he had pride in himself and his job. Right up until the last night of the show, he had no pride in it nor himself and that makes me sad because I wanted him to be that person, I wanted him to be the kind of man he made himself out to be. I wanted him to be the type of person to say I don't need your millions of dollars anymore, I'm not having fun, I want to do something else and instead he took the millions of dollars and done nothing for over 2 years. Even if he didn't put in 100% of effort, surely he could have at least look at what HE USED TO DO, and WHY PEOPLE USED TO LIKE IT and say ok.......i'll keep giving them that kind of show. But he didn't.

And ending on Geoff. I've no doubt that Craig was the one wanting Geoff to talk more. Craig was always more funnier on his own but I don't blame Josh Robert Thompson for taking advantage of Craig's laziness and trying to get in the limelight for himself. Having said that......I don't think Josh Robert Thompson has that much to be proud of because he clearly was affected by fans opinions. It clearly bothered him early on that people didn't like his style of comedy or the dirty sex talk or the constant reptition on the show, the same material every night. If he had any pride in himself or any pride in his performance he SHOULD HAVE said ok, I'll let Craig do the same thing every night but I'll do something different. I won't do dirty jokes. I won't do the same impressions. I'll try and break away from it and let people see how funny I am but he didn't do that did he? No he just followed suit and did the same thing night after night. Even when was a guest on it with Drew Carey, what did he do? Morgan Freeman and Robert DeNiro impressions? Really? This is the guy that moaned about how people always ask him to do those impressions and talk like Geoff yet the ONE big moment he gets in the sun as himself, the one big shot he has to really show off how funny he is........he goes back to what people know him for? I don't know about any of you but to me that just says there is nothing else there. Probably Morgan Freeman and Robert DeNiro are the only funny impressions he can do and there's not much else there talent wise.


I could sit and rant all day about it. I watched clips from 2010 and couldn't believe how much younger Craig looked. He looked old last year and yet I've seen him do stuff since then and he looks like his old self and looks young in the face. Maybe just all the makeup!
