On tonight’s show Jerry Seinfeld, 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria-Parker make up the celebrity panel and each add his own hilarious comments to judge the couple's disputes. The panel must declare a winner in ridiculous arguments such as flossing in bed, metrosexual grooming and if manual labor acutally means a man should do it.

The Issue: Primp and Pamper

First up are Joe and Paula who constantly have arguments that one of them spends too much time primping and pampering, leaving the other to take over the majority of the household duties. You would think it would be Paula, but it is actually Joe who is getting the weekly mani/pedis.

Paula isn’t attracted to the man that Joe has become and believes his constant grooming has made him very selfish. We turn to the panel for their opinion.

The panel agrees that he is doing a little too much. He keeps lip-gloss in the garage and would rather get eyebrow waxes than go to his kids’ sports games. Eva puts it this way, “He’s one body wax away from Ru Paul.” She is for the wife, Paula. Jerry however is for anyone who keeps himself clean, believing there is nothing wrong with over cleanliness. He is for the husband. Tina is for the husband as well.

So, Joe wins.

The Issue: Formal Rooms Off Limits

Next, are Florida couple Luis and Dalia. They have two arguments that the panel must vote on.

Argument I: Dalia loves her perfectly decorated dining room table that stands immaculately set all year long. She uses it only for Thanksgiving dinner and restricts her husband Luis from ever using the dining room except for that one occasion. He would like to use the room more often for card parties or family dinners, but Dalia is against it.

Eva agrees. She has both a formal dining room and living room that she reserves only for special occasions. Jerry jokes that these “formal” rooms are reserved for British royalty or for when the Pope visits, which of course leave them completely untouched.

Argument II: Dalia bought a “do-it-yourself” screened porch that she asked Luis to assemble. However, as a man he just can’t seem to figure out the instructions.

So the question is should the man have to do all the MANual labor? Eva and Tina agree that a man should be able to do these things, or at least they would want them to.

The call: Tina votes for husband Luis on both arguments. Jerry is for Luis on the first argument and for Dalia on the second. Eva is for Dalia on both issues. So it is Dalia who wins the dining room table argument and Luis who wins the “do-it-yourself” porch argument.

The Issue: Flossing in Bed

Mark Wizas is annoyed that his wife Martha continues to floss her teeth in bed. He thinks it is disgusting that food particles fly from her teeth and into the bed. But Martha refuses to see any thing wrong with it.

When asked if flossing is a bathroom activity that should not leave the bathroom, all three panelists respond with a resounding, YES!! Case closed.

Tom makes the call. He tells Martha that flossing in bed is just gross and it should stay in the bathroom. He declares Mark the winner.

The Issue: Removing the Wedding Ring

Christine is upset that her husband Howard removes his wedding ring when he plays basketball and keeps it off when he goes out with his friends. Howard claims having the ring off improves his game. But when they show clips of his basketball skills the panel sees no reason why he needs to remove his ring. Every shot Howard attempts flies past the backboard. He cannot jump, pass or even dribble. There is absolutely nothing that could improve Howard’s game.

The panel agrees with Christine. There is no reason why Howard should have to remove his ring, because his game will not improve. They consider Christine’s argument that women will approach him if he doesn’t have a wedding ring to ward them off. However, the facts show that women are four times more likely to go after a man who is attached than one who is single.

They make the call and are all in favor of Christine. Howard needs to keep his ring on!
