Winners and losers from 'In a World Where Kings Are Employers'

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! This one was a hard one…I’m realizing that the line between winner and loser is getting thinner and thinner. (Is someone a winner if they succeeded at being evil? Or are they a loser because they’re evil?) Yes, I’m talkin’ about Dave. We’re just going to have to take this on a case-by-case basis.

WINNERS

1. Lynette Scavo: I’m agreeing with commenter Jamie on this one. He wrote that she always makes great decisions for her family, and she does — but she also lets Tom make some stupid ones, just to support him. It’s a difficult balance to strike, and Lynette’s hit it, dead on.

2. Dave Williams: See? Dude’s obviously evil/up to no good/has the prettiest eyes of any human I’ve ever seen, but I still think he’s a winner. He’s duped EVERYONE, including the woman he lives with (though, apparently that’s not hard to do?). OK, well, he hasn’t duped everyone. The Old Lady Private Investigators were onto his game (where have they been?? Bring them back!) and Lee’s at least suspicious…and Tom now, too. But he’s still living there, getting away with whatever it is that he might get away with. (Until whatever it is causes his wife’s untimely death. I’m sure that’s what’s going to happen.)

3. Orson Hodge: Again, good suggestion from Jamie on this one. I’d be willing to bet that the only person who can out-Bree Bree is, well, her husband. (Actually, I have a funny feeling Andrew could do it, too…but he’s all sugary sweet and a good boy now…)

LOSERS

1. Tom Scavo: Here’s to hoping this is the only time you’ll see him on this list. After remembering that Tom saw Dave go nuts few episodes ago, I’m thinking maybe that gave him some subconscious willpower to throw Baby Matt Damon (which one? Number 1 or 2?) repeatedly against the wall. We’re not even talking about the Scavo Family Sweatshop he selfishly created to keep HIS dream alive. I love Tom and think he’s been the one great representation of a husband on this show. He made a bad mistake. Moving on.

2. Gaby Solis: Another Jamie suggestion, and couldn’t agree more. Gaby didn’t need to up the ante. Bad Boss Brad already was going to give Carlos a bonus that I’d be thrilled to see as my yearly salary. It’s a trade-off. Pretty Gaby looks, well, pretty…but she’s also an a-hole. Frumpy Gaby’s nice, but doesn’t have fantastic platforms. Neither of those are going to win in my constant-need-for-entertainment brain, Gabs.

3. Edie Britt: Jamie, you couldn’t be more right. Edie: We know this is your last dance on the show. It’s time to start sacking up and being the biggest Edie Britch we know you can be before you die in some horrible accident. Make us proud. The old Edie wouldn’t have let Dave push her around and convince her that the buzzing she heard wasn’t real?? You’ve got a little bit more time left, Edie. Make us proud.
