Clockwise from the bottom left:

• Leroy's reaction seems more than a little subdued considering that their exercise classroom is now a crime scene for what appears to be at least a triple homicide. Why else would there be chalk lines on the ground? If it were just a case of fat people keeling over from an overly aggressive workout program, the police probably wouldn't be going through a forensic crime scene investigation. It looks like another case of cheapskate Leroy getting a cut rate membership at the most dangerous gym in Long Island. It's a push. The score remains 0-0.
• Every once in a while all the disappointments and defeats of being Leroy Lockhorn, consummate loser, become so overwhelming that even the smallest slight causes Leroy to have an uncontrollable outburst of pent up rage. Today Leroy takes his accumulated frustrations out on the near empty tube of toothpaste. Though Loretta could have made some sort of cutting remark here to burn Leroy and earn a point, she knew better than to further aggravate him when he was in one of this freak outs. It's another push as we still wait for the first point of the day.
• The "look" Loretta is referring to could also apply to Leroy's ridiculous beach outfit. It seems like a cross between an elderly Florida retiree and 80's WWE wrestler Cowboy Bob Orton. Is Leroy working under some deluded assumption that this clownish ensemble will attract all the blond beach bimbos? In contrast, Loretta's outfit appears surprisingly fashionable and age appropriate. So not only does Loretta get the point for chastising Leroy, she also wins on the fashion front. Loretta leads 1-0.
• Perhaps Pullman should maintain a note in his files as to who went first during the previous session to avoid this constant issue. Then again once he addresses that problem, the Lockhorns will find something new to get stuck arguing over. I wonder if the Lockhorns overhear all these complaints Pullman makes about them to his office secretary, not that Pullman even cares at this point; just as long as the checks continue to clear. It's the third push of the day as Loretta clings to a tight 1-0 lead.
• I suppose street magic is a common site in Nassau county considering it is the where the mindfreak himself Criss Angel hails from. The beefy Mr. Clean doppelganger performing the tricks seems more like a sideshow strongman than an illusionist. I applaud Leroy's hustle in finding a way to make fun of Loretta's cooking outside of the kitchen or dinning room. He needs to keep going after her greatest liability at every possible opportunity if he wants any chance of catching up by December. Leroy gets the point and forces the day to end in a 1-1 tie.
