I can deal with the various eccentricies (sp?) that Eric displays from time to time (from his "Lambs" game to his Jennifer Lopez hand puppet fiasco), but to care more about being right rather than having all the money he could possibly want is, to me, insane. I would have told Kyle, after he wins the bet on a technicality, that at least I made the money, and that I am talented enough to crossover into the mainstream. From what I could see, Kyle is a talentless hack who dreams of playing for crowds (the fact that he had to download other people's music to recieve inspiration is the indicator), but Eric is so egotistical that he's willing to burn his own money-making opportunities.
Stan's right. Eric got what he deserved.
