Clockwise from the bottom left:

• Nice opening rank out, Loretta. It's simple and it cuts right to the core by challenging Leroy's masculinity by stating he is a sub par husband. Once again, Loretta really could have gone further with why Leroy couldn't have a trophy wife (lack of money, lack of looks, no charm, etc., etc.). Point to Loretta, nevertheless.
  
• I'm going to take this an indictment of Loretta's notorious shopaholic tendencies than an overall showing of the Lockhorns' crippling credit problems. Women be shopping indeed. Point to Leroy.
• The foreign playfulness, the unexpected physical contact...oh my god, she's planning to kill you!! RUN LEROY RUN!! (Still a point for Loretta I guess)
  
• Loretta's crack could work two ways: it could say that Leroy is so cheap that he hired vagrant street buskers for his wedding band or that Leroy's ear for music is so bad that the inept band he hired has become destitute. Either way another point for Loretta.
• Playing for pride, Leroy brings up the shopaholic card once again. You can't argue with the facts Loretta, you a have a serious addiction. Leroy wins the point but Loretta wins the day 3 to 2.

Official Count:
Leroy - 9
Loretta - 9
Push - 7
