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.

Aight, so here’s the deal: I usually watch with Neighbor Peggy and we toss some witty banter back and forth about the show. She can’t make it tonight, so I’m just going to have to tell Susan jokes to myself!

Check back tomorrow (Monday) for the winners and losers of tonight’s show! (And suggest some of your own if you have ‘em!)

Shall we begin?

9:00 The “previously on” showed Crazy Dave’s therapist realizing that Mike was in the band. That means we’ll get to see an altercation between them!
9:02: Uh, did Susan just tell Mike to step up and help out? Who is this woman, and what has she done with Susan?
9:03: MJ’s at Katherine’s. I sense a battle over who’s the better mom: Katherine vs, Susan. I think Katherine wins round number one. Two words: blackjack lesson.
9:06: I love how Bree’s family continues getting wealthier and wealthier as her neighbors (Lynette/Tom’s slow business and Carlos not getting a bonus) are feeling the economy. I also wish this was a made-up recession for a TV show, instead of a TV show pulling from reality.
9:09: Tom’s putting his foot down and saying he won’t close the pizza shop. We all know how THAT one’ll end: He’ll apologize to Lynette for being a jerk and they’ll close down the shop. What’re they going to do? Go back to the ad biz?
9:12: “Life is brief and mostly sucks.” Awww, it’s Edie. Foreshadowing, there? I don’t think I can watch her without thinking about what’s going to happen to her
9:13: Edie hears buzzing. Is Crazy Dave hiding a crazy vibrator?
9:14: Or a cell phone. That was my next guess.

9:15: Yes! Crazy Dave’s talking to Mike about going camping…this is where it’s going to go down. I don’t really know what “it” is, but I’m awfully excited about it.
9:16: I don’t care how much Andrew makes. I just want it, though I’d blow it all at Ikea instead of on fancy wine. It’d go much farther on Swedish storage systems, anyway.
9:18: Tom’s starting the Scavo Family Sweatshop by firing all the employees and making his kids work for free. Nice.
9:21: Yes! Gaby just saw Boss Man Brad cheating on his wife.
9:26: That worked out so well! Gaby didn’t have to even blackmail Brad for the bonus. He just offers it.
9:27: Not that that’s going to stop her from blackmailing anyway, which she does.
9:29: Ha! Orson’s put Bree’s childhood pets Coco, Taffy and Munchie in burning building and making her choose her favorite.
9:30: So Scavo’s Pizzeria suddenly became busy now that they’re understaffed/staffed by the Scavo Family Sweatshop. Funny how that happens, eh?
9:31: Ah! Lynette just made an erection joke — to her sons, the Baby Matt Damons. Amazing.
9:32: Halfway through the episode and they’re bringing back Mike and Susan’s storyline? It’s like the writers know that I’m not as interested in Katherine/Mike.
9:35: As long as Andrew doesn’t know that Orson’s making half of what he’s making, then what’s the harm? It’s coo, Orson. Just accept what you’re worth! Bree has!
9:38: Tell the wife her husband’s cheating, or keep the $30K bonus and let her think everything’s hunky-dory? What would you do? I have a funny feeling I know what Gaby’ll do.
9:39: M.J.’s still creepy, and man, that kid can’t act. I know, I know, he’s just a kid. I’ll lay off.
9:40: I’m going to say this, and mean it, but I actually think Susan’s acting reasonably to be upset that Katherine’s seeing more M.J. than Mike is.
9:41: The Baby Matt Damons are acting pretty ridiculous, though I don’t know that I’D work for free.
9:42: Holy…whaaaaa?? Tom just went all Crazy Dave on Baby Matt Damon No. 1. No, Tom. That’s not you. You’re Tom, not Chris Brown. What’re you doing? This scene really upset me to watch. Tom was the one man on the show who genuinely was a good guy (sans a few minor mistakes).
9:47: You know, I like that Tom can just say that he’s agreed to sell the place, which is Tom Speak means: “I messed up and threw my kid repeatedly against the wall,” but…it’s not enough for me. He should actually apologize, right? And I’m surprised Lynette’s just letting it slide?
9:49: Ah, sneaky sneaky, Crazy Dave. He scheduled the camping trip the same weekend Edie wanted to go to the fancy hotel. We all know the girl’s got no interest in camping.
9:50: Boss Man Brad’s putting Carlos and Gaby in some pretty rough positions, eh? First the bribe to keep the little indiscretion quiet, and now the godparents thing?
9:56: The producers of this show would be remiss if I didn’t see an episode of “Desperate Housewives” without someone out on the street in a robe/towel/entirely naked. Susan this time, of course.
9:58: Remember that one time I said that Susan was totally reasonable? I lied. Katherine’s not really doing anything dishonest — as she said, she’s being nice to the son of the guy she’s dating. Suck it up, Suze.
9:59: I love Orson’s little defeat: Stealing Andrew’s silver pen. Eh, whatever makes you happy, bub!
10:00: Looks like we’re going to have to wait another week until we find out what happens with Crazy Dave and Mike. This is the one story line I’m really, really looking forward to. What are you guys looking forward to?
