February 8, 2009: Sunday Showdown!

(Click to enlarge)

Clockwise from the bottom left:

• Nothing like good old fashion insulting condescension to start off a Sunday Showdown. Obviously Leroy knows what the library is; that's where he borrows his videos. It's more dubious that he was been inside a bookstore. Point for Loretta still.
  
• Oh Leroy, judging by Loretta's furious reactions, that commentary track must have been none too flattering. Just wait until she gets to the deleted scenes, production notes, and assorted Easter eggs. An unusually tech savvy point for Leroy.
• I'm pretty sure this little jab at the bad economy was just an excuse to throw in some McDonald's product placement. Although the viewer's attention is supposed to be directed towards the detailed shot of the golden arches, trademark store architecture, and the accurate food display; I was mainly distracted by the sight of the Lockhorns seemingly driving a car without wheels. Push with that shake.
  
• Loretta misses a prime opportunity to kick Leroy when he's down. He has taken a buffoonish spill in front of everyone and is in acute pain, the whole situation is practically gift wrapped for Loretta! Unfortunately she fails to take advantage, instead giving a suggestion that borders on actual empathy and concern. It's a push.
• BARF!! Quality zing and all for Loretta but no one wants to see the sight of Leroy in some sort of sweat stained man baby half shirt with his gut hanging out. The Britney Spears joke works on two levels depending on what era Britney you're referring to. It could be a comparison to post-pregnancy, pre-comeback Britney's gross physique or it could be a general comparison to he frequent mid drift exposing wardrobe. Either way, can we put in him back in thick sweater again? On that sickening note, Loretta takes the day 2 to 1.

Official Count:

Leroy - 11
Loretta - 15
Push - 13
