Does anyone think Eric would have gotten physical
Does anyone really believe Eric when he says he never would have hurt anyone when he got into his little brawl? He came out of that chair like a wild man and had others not intervened I truly believe he would have hit someone, almost anyone at that point. Had everyone not stepped in, I believe it would have been really bad. And they are supposed to be the "good guys"???????

He's as likely to have gotten physical with Michael as Kaysar would have with Ivette. Egos mixed with inflammatory comments & personalities? Sure, it could have happened. I personally think they were both posturing, though; like barnyard roosters proving their roosterness.

Re: Fight!
I think Michael would've ran into the diary room with his tail tucked between his legs if Eric would've come at him swinging. I get the impression that he's all talk. I would've liked to see Kaysar take a swing at Ivette, though. I think she would've knocked his butt on the ground before he knew what hit him.
