"Como todos los demás" is correct. I can say:
Sólo había un premio. Yo lo gané y perdieron todos los demás. Sólo quiero este libro, todos los demás me sobran. Disfruta de esta puesta de sol y olvídate de todo lo demás. |

I'd like to help you, but I'm not sure about "the rest". The 3rd I think that is correct, but I don't know if in the other two I'd use "the others". Maybe another one could help

@Lou Ann: I think your guesses are all correct. Only a question on the second one:
Sólo quiero este libro, todos los demás me sobran. I only want this book. All the rest are in the way. My English is failing me... I understand "to be in the way" as being bothersome... maybe to be on their way to the waste bin... (?) Here "me sobran" is they're too many if you only need one. I only want this book; I can get rid of all the others.

Well, I was being silly. But it could be a face with arms that go up in the "raise the roof" kind of way....
