Read last week’s winners and losers
It’s time for our weekly game of winners and losers! Please remember these are up to you, too, so if you see someone you think should be a winner/loser in Sunday’s episode, e-mail or comment it to me!
Onward to the winners and losers of the ‘wives game!
WINNERS
1. Lynette: The woman done outdone her mother AND the Matt-Damon-lookin’ kid with a single “Oh, looky, I’m going to pretend I DIED” move. I had a tiny amount of pity (itty bitty pity, if you will) for her mom at the end, but not enough to say Lynette’s move was dastardly. It was anything but dastard, in fact. Man, Lynette, you’re awesome. You manage to win in every episode, even when I’m looking forward to something else. For that, you, good lady, are a winner! (Suggested by Jamie!)
2. Edie: I’ve had a deep internal debate about whether Edie should be on the winner list. So deep, in fact, that I channeled the woman and began talking like her and making snarky comments to coworkers, friends and random people on the street (which did NOT go something like this, “Suuussan. Your mother’s in here with us.” Exorcist? Anyone? Anyone? No? Moving on…). Despite Edie’s obvious failure in being as strong and independent as I had originally pegged — when she went back to Dave at the end — she’s a winner. She put Susan in her place, and someone desperately, desperately needed to put that desperate woman on Desperate Housewives in her desperate place. That, for the time being, wins over male-go-backery. (Thanks to Holly for that one. Sorry, Jamie…disagreement number 2!)
3. Bree: When hasn’t Bree been a winner in this season? The red-headed fox managed to give us a great fight and a make-up with Alex, the future-son-in-law, and all in one episode. So the viewers are left with the satisfaction of watching a great spat, but with all the resolution of happy ending. And yes, the bit with Orson and Bree in the sackarooni alone is worth a winner mention. (Thanks to Holly AND Jamie for that one!)
LOSERS
1. Lynette’s mom: OK, so I said above that I had an itty-bity pity for her, but it’s a pretty big pity for her. She’s just so mean and ornery and lonely and sad and not doing anything to make her life easier because she’s mean and ornery…and lonely…and sad….and…let’s keep this run-on going! She’s also a loser because I thought she was too smart to be outsmarted by Lynette, but obviously, she’s nothing of the sort.
2. Susan: In a fight between Edie and Susan, we all know who’s going to win, so that alone isn’t enough to win Susan this loser prize. Nope, it’s the fact that she’s been consistently a loser this season that’ll consistently earn her Amy’s Loser Award. Susan: you don’t needa man. You don’t need to always be in a relationship. You don’t always need to be so pitiful, ’cause I gots no itty-bity pities for you! (As suggested by Holly)
3. Mike: Mike loses big time in this episode. He fell for Katherine’s “do you want me to stay” trap and then told her he loved her. They’s ain’t got ANY chemistry, and I want the relationship to end, now now now! Cheat on Katherine with Susan already, wouldya, Mike?? (As suggested by Jamie!)

Oh man. I agree with the winners and the losers this week. I have always, always thought that Susan was *the* loser on the show. It’s sort of like how I felt about Carrie Bradshaw–”why do you get to be the ‘main’ one when you’re the MOST ANNOYING ONE EVER?!?!?!”
Ah well. Luckily for me, Wisteria Lane has lots of amazing ladies, most of whom I like much better than Susan.
Also, when’s Julie coming back? She was cool. And it might be nice to see that contrast between her and her mother explored more–Julie and Edie are both “Susan! What is your deal?!?! Nobody needs a man to be complete!!!!”, but in such different ways that I think it’s nice to remember you don’t HAVE to be a heartless Britch to not be a desperate, clingy Susan.

I can’t think of anyone I’d rather disagree with than you, Amy! You are a formidable woman, with a remarkable insight into the show!
We can disagree 100 times. That’s what makes our “debates” so much fun! You always make a valid point, and you know — I *try* to. :-) Hehehe

Aww i agree with the ‘itty bitty pity’ (haha) for Lynette’s mum, but at least they’re getting on ok now, that’s something :)
And I can never not laugh when I remember ’sackerooni’. Such a funny word! But it did seem pretty out of place that someone with as much.. experience of it as Edie would use such a silly term. But i’m not complaining, i’ve been using it all week to weird looks from my friends.
Has Susan EVER been a winner? I do love her but.. just a little less than the rest :p I’m just so bored of Mike and Katherine (everytime i try to type that my fingers want to write Mike and Susan.. it’s meant to be!) so i’m not going to talk about them any more. Unless I have something I need to say about them. In which case, I obviously will :)
Holly xx
