I didn't even like Mickey all that much, but he was the protective amulet keeping a very banal series at bay. Most people knew how it would likely end though, because they cast someone with CTE injuries, chronic severe insomnia (because that won't become terminal), tendencies towards aggression. And it was all probably well known how he is as people like Mickey are protected in Hollywood. They will put up with extremes to keep them happy and coming back into work. It was like they took all the typical BB candy and put it in a woke Pinata, cast a variety of protagonists that viewers will gush over as they beat the woke Pinata for camera time.

I think he knew his fate was setup to be thin within the house and that's part of why he wanted out so badly. When he was actually participating in the house, his misbehavior just seemed so sudden and random at times. It makes me wonder what was in his contract that made it even worth coming in at all. There's no way they could pay him enough to stay in the whole 3 weeks based on his inability to put up with other people and lack of sleep long-term.
