Here with his thoughts on Skyler White is Poolie voter, Larry...

No wonder Walter White contemplates killing himself all the time. Who could blame him? He’s had to deal with two of the top contenders for this award, who also happen to be his only family. Through two plus seasons, Sklyar White has been miserable, a real testament to why females tend to be the worst. First of all, she’s selfish. The guy is dying of cancer, operating in an extremely dangerous drug ring, and all he gets when he comes home is a scolding about his lack of availability. Are you kidding me? Can the man get a little alone time in between his dealings with drug lords? Jesus. Second, she somehow managed to make Walter feel bad about having cancer. Seriously, he should have told her to GTFO and been done with it. This series, if nothing else, shows you what happens when a man’s home is no longer his sanctuary (#vehicularmanslaughter).

To top it off she decided, in typical female fashion, to sleep with her boss in order to provoke Walter. I pray for the day males are no longer affected by this, because then females will literally have nothing to hold over our heads. Is she deserving of this award? Absolutely. However, if the poolie votes had been cast a few weeks later, she might not have gotten my vote (her terrible son probably would have). Once she started to get into the drug game, a genuine excitement seemed to come over her and she seemed less annoying. With this show, I enjoy the characters involved in the drug operation and dislike the ones living a normal New Mexican life. If she crosses over, she has a chance to improve her likability. She’d still be terrible, just less.
