Isn't the back dealing on Mikey going to get back to him especially when Chet, Kathleen, and Tracey tell him what was going down as they will probably have to entice him over to their side for numbers? Well let's hope they figure that out. Mikey could then possibly drag another person over as well and/or point out Joel's manipulating and obvious physical strength to target him.
What gets me is Joel realised it could backfire but went through with it anyway. I reckon his ego is too big to not taste the power he thinks he'll wield. I think he's now put a bigger target on himself and alienated a possible ally in Mikey. BTW, I do not like this Joel guy so far. He seems like an egotistical brute and his new nickname around my house is Caveman.
For the Fan's, I'm going for the underdogs at this point, which is our 3 older people.
