Joe Gorga is still the don of The Mob after episode 3, released on Hulu on 2 November, but TV Insider's recap shows the family already lining up behind a replacement.

The don controls the money and the whackings, so whoever takes the chair next decides the back half of the game. Here is who moved.

## Joe Gorga

He kept the chair when the group voted, then gave envelopes to Romeo and Willam Belli after a room-restoration job and kept two for himself. The job was worth $30,000; the family secured $12,000.

## Harry Jowsey

The name on the challengers' lips. TV Insider reports Chelsea Lazkani and Maria Georgas agreed to back him as the next don.

## Chelsea Lazkani

In Gorga's confessional she is the one who told him who was close to Demi Engemann, while quietly agreeing to back Jowsey.

## Willam Belli and Demi Engemann

Belli floated Aida Turturro as a candidate instead. Engemann admitted to the envelopes she had hidden: "I don't like keeping secrets."

> **Spoiler (episode 3):**
>
> Gorga whacked Bruno Tonioli, choosing him over Aida Turturro. "I didn't whack Bruno. You all whacked Bruno," he told the family.

Episode 3 ends on a cliffhanger, with Jowsey and Turturro both in the frame for what comes next.
