[Cadaverous Pallor]

I truly felt bad for Eric since I identified with him somewhat. At first it seemed all he wanted was to make sure he took some substantial part in the project so he could point to something in front of the judges. But it became apparent that he just hated the others so much that it was impossible for him to compromise and work with them. The big irony being that he himself was being an artist diva while calling them on their artiness.
