Unfortunately the Amazing Mesmo breaks the age old cardinal rule for all live performers: never involve the Lockhorns in any sort of audience participation. The first few zingers like the one above from Loretta will probably get a few laughs but as she continues to unrelentingly heckle Leroy from her seat despite repeated warnings to stop, the room will just get more and more suffocatingly awkward. As for Loretta, she scores herself a fine coup; as with all Lockhorn jabs the bigger the audience, the more public the humiliation, and greater the hurtfulness. Loretta wins the point.

Official Count:

Leroy - 68
Loretta - 85
Push - 77
