I think Michael is coming across really weird as he is not yet comfortable in his own skin. He is very arrogant but Richard is as well. I thought Richard was quite funny in the Spiral thing last night. I don't think it was too bad as he was not up himself like Michael - did you notice he kept saying can you tie this please Spiral - he didn't give the orders the way the others were especially Michael and Jennie who acted like proper Prison Officers.
I thought it was a nicer side to him that he managed to still be polite even though he was trying to wind Spiral up but it isn't working as Spiral is ok in his own skin, and if you notice he did not mention Richard, it was all Michael when they were nominating - he obviously takes it well as a joke with the whole heart shaped photoframe and Dickie's digs - whereas Michael has a hissy fit about nothing -
SCRUPLES IS MORE EXCITING THAN MICHAEL
