Online reviewers have weighed in on the latest Desperate Housewives episode.

Here's what they had to say about "Silly People":

• Michael Slezak reviewing for EW.com had a conversation with God after this week's episode:

  So you guys are never gonna believe who just stopped by my apartment for a little visit. God himself—on official business—came to stamp my one-way express ticket to Hell. It seems He was none too pleased that I'd just spent the previous hour howling with laughter watching a show in which a spoiled suburban housewife scored cheap household labor from a Chinese immigrant who'd just been freed by the FBI from a life of involuntary servitude. Needless to say, I had to think fast. So I was like, "C'mon, God, cut me some slack. Weren't you watching Desperate Housewives tonight? Don't tell me you didn't laugh in spite of yourself!'

• Dave Anderson at TV Guide Online did not like the Scavos' story. "The Lynette-Tom story was beyond ridiculous—such a waste of Felicity Huffman's and Doug Savant's talents, not to mention the normally enjoyable Currie Graham as their boss, Ed. Like an advertising exec would play frat-house games with his employees. I thought I was watching Fear Factor with Tom about to eat a donut out of a toilet and Lynette eating the raw meat."

• Keith McDuffee reviewed this week for TV Squad, while Sarah Gilbert takes a week off. He was also unimpressed by the office pranks. "I hate how shows will capitalize on the whole 'hey, I was in a fraternity, too!' thing. Look, I was in a fraternity in college and had an awesome time there and met great people, but would I give another greek a break now that I'm out of college? Not on that fact alone, I can tell you that. Oh, and Lynette's raw bacon chowdown was pretty gross. I mean, it's at least edible material, but bacon is mostly pig fat. And she ate a pound of it in one sitting. Yeah, I think I need a bucket, too."

• There is also brief recap at Television Without Pity, where visitors have so far rated the episode B in a poll.

• Finally, to tide you over to the next new episode, there is a new episode of Desperate Houseflies online.
