Clockwise from the bottom left:

• Loretta must be engaging in some serious subterfuge to make these occasional trips to the local gym without Leroy finding out. There can be no other possibility to explain why Leroy isn't with her, feasting on all the low hanging insult fruit. It's such a fertile environment for mocking Loretta that even she can't help herself from making fun of herself! This is a dangerous activity you're engaged in Loretta. It's only a matter of time before these scenes turn from harmless pushes to victories for Leroy. For now it's a push.
• Shouldn't Leroy be totally grateful that the thoughtless telemarketer has interrupted another disgusting dinner of brown goo with Loretta? Shouldn't he be trying to delay returning to the table for as long as possible, encouraging the solicitor to thoroughly explain to him all the ins and outs of their calling plan? This scene seems to indicate that Leroy would rather eat an awful meal with Loretta than listen to a telephone sales pitch. Those must be some pretty horrible telemarketers. It's another push.
• For all the bizarre eccentrics, offensive trolls, random penises, and all manner of general human freakishness that one may randomly come across on Chatroulette!, the sight of a filthy, bleary eyed, unshaven Leroy in his underpants may be too much for even the most jaded internet user to bear. Props go to Loretta for utilizing that new-fangled computer and "internet" to humiliate Leroy in front of a worldwide audience. Loretta scores the first point.
• For maximum awkwardness and discomfort, the Lockhorns frequently like to invite just one person over to dinner and have them sit right between them as they spend the entire evening sniping each other over a table full of piping hot garbage. Why anyone would accept such a strange and suspicious invitation to dinner remains a mystery. Loretta's cooking hits a new repulsive low and whatever foul, horrific concoction she has created has, as Leroy points out, achieved a unholy life of its own. Leroy ties the score 1-1.
• It must be a pretty awful bimbo-less shindig for Leroy to want to go home before he gets dangerously drunk or thrown out after offending the hosts. Whatever the issue with the party is that's making it unbearable for Leroy, you can be sure that Loretta has had a hand in orchestrating it. Leroy has the look of utter defeat and complete capitulation in his eyes as he desperately waives the white flag in surrender to Loretta. With that Leroy surrenders the point and ultimately the day by giving Loretta a narrow 2-1 victory.

Official Count:

Leroy - 25
Loretta - 35
