I am not worried about Shakes.
For one , if he was out the first episode, I don't think he would be promoting himself as much ( yes, I could be wrong)
The other reason I think he does well, is that although FOX didn't show him in many of their promos, all the magazine articles and other press, almost always mentions him. Most often they quote him. Could it be that our very own abrasive Clown is..... Charming?
Yes I know how it sounds, but he must have charmed someone, few pictures of Michael, yet tons of quotes. Think about it.

GO Stupid Clown!!!!!

*** Hee hee!!! Shakes couldn't fly under the radar if he had wings glued to his back, LOL!!!! He might make it far, but it's probably 'cos the chicks dig the big red shoes...and what he can do with them!

Then again, perhaps he is quoted more often because he is better at verbal expression than his castmates. Clever mind vs. best looking? Remember... looks fade.
