I don't follow. Is Paul an ethnic man?
I still hold the belief that Paul threw away winning last season by 1) taking Nicole to F2 instead of James, which would have been a sure thing and 2) Not just apologising for calling Meech a c*nt, which would have won her vote over.
He doesn't deserve to just be handed a victory on a silver platter because he came so close last year, and it's super boring to watch him do that.
Paul definitely gave Nicole $500k.

He has. That's his game. He said so in the diary room. Notice he never gets involved in any spat, and just chows down on cereal instead? He barely ever raises his voice.
Not saying he's going to turn around etc.. but what he's done by volunteering to go up on the block and not use the veto on himself shows he's a trustworthy guy who keeps his word.
That's huge in this house. He can call in favour if there's any real danger.

It's all over Reddit.
SPOILER LINK:
Did he volunteer to go on the block against Elena?
I think I might have if I was in in position just to seem like a team player.
Wait like a week a two to start winning comps.
But Meech voted for Paul to win.
It was the dumbass Natalie who said from the very beginning of the season that she would NEVER vote for a man to win, if there was a woman in the final 2.
Also don't forget Paulie was in the jury, and his family was close friends with Nicole's family (they have gone on vacations together, etc) because of the Cody in BB16 connection. Likewise brain dead Zakiyah was in jury and she just voted for whoever Paulie told her to vote for.
Plus Corey was in jury too and Nicole was giving him handjobs all summer long!
Possible I suppose. He looks capable of being physically able so he could be just playing dumb.
It's not a dumb strategy. Avoid the target first half of the season. He's certainly done that. Float. Throw comps. Be the loyal alliance member. He's pretty low on the target list. Once you get deep into the game then you can start to be a more involved player. Win key comps. Ramp up the strategy and start making big moves. The end game is the most important time to make an impression on the jury.
Nobody has Matt on the win radar. Nobody. Perhaps that's exactly what he wants.

Christmas should put up Paul and Alex

Easily.
Kevin, Mark, Josh could be ready to vote on either. The only effort required is to get Matt and Raven to flip on Paul. Fuck Alex
If Paul/Alex is just a ruse to backdoor Mark, I'll never forgive this house. =(

eh, I don't so. nobody even views Paul as ethnic and all of the other so called white puppeteers have more than their fair share of haters. I personally can't stand Derrick, Dan, Dick, Dr Will, Boogie etc. and one of the most popular BB "mastermind players" even tho he played the game pretty terribly was Kaysar. It may just seem like Paul is getting more hate now, because his previous season was just last year and a lot of people hated him then as well.

Yeah, check out last season's thread. I hated Paul before it was popular to do so lol, it has nothing to do with him being a so-called "mastermind" or the way he looks, and everything to do with how much of an obnoxious, annoying, attention whore fake he is.

Apparently. Flashback episode...
Good, so I don't need to watch it then.
I figured when Julie said we'd see the HOH comp on Sunday that the Friday episode would be stale garbage.
MAJOR SPOILERS FROM THE NEW TEMPTATION TWIST
Production had to spice up the game some how. Gotta keep those ratings.
It appears that during the Friday episode they had some sort of temptation twist, the twists feature
+Can't play in HoH next week
+Second Veto
+Save a friend
+Bounty On Your Head(Cash Prize)
+Eliminate 2 eviction votes
????????
Meanwhile in Paul HQ

This season has become a total drag. Quickly becoming one of my least favorite. I wish Jess/Cody/Mark/Elena could've done some damage.
Paul was my fave. last season. I'm growing tired of even him this season.
This sucks.

Yep, standard move especially when he can win any competition.
Bye
Mark hope the HoH steps up and puts up Paul.
Surprise...surprise, Josh (Paul's biggest minion) revealed that Derrick had pulled him aside and instructed him to "play his own game", and to "stop being a follower".
I knew jealous & insecure Derrick would try and mess up Paul's game. He's still bitter as fuck Paul turned on Paulie (Derrick's precious protege) last season. Even after Derrick's visit to the house this week, he's gone right back to trashing Paul on twitter.

Paulie was a fucking idiot.
The only reason that Derrick likes him is that his brother gave him $500k.
Yes, but remember all season long Paulie was bragging about how he was "bred to win" Big Brother because Derrick had been coaching him. So obviously Paulie flopping so bad at Big Brother can be seen as a reflection on Derrick.
Paul was the one to convince Victor to turn on Paulie and nominate him (and thus Paulie was evicted that week). Also remember Paul's "blindsided" dance and song he made about Paulie in the diary room?
Like I said before, Derrick, Paulie, Cody, and Cody/Paulie's dad...have been trashing Paul all the way since last year. They are all still very angry and bitter about the way Paul turned on Paulie.

They should've bred him not to be a piece of garbage to other human beings. That might've helped him win.

Victor was the one to evict Paulie? Crazy. I guess my memory isn't so good.

Yeah, as much disdain as I have for the yahoos this season, Paulie is on a whole other level. I'd rather have a threesome with Jessica and Cody than hang out with Paulie for 5 minutes.
Cody: "stop making victim noises!"
Jessica: "Do YOU have a hymen?"
Natalie also said from the very beginning of her season of Big Brother that she would NEVER vote for a man to win if there was a woman in the final 2.
Apparently she felt it was imperative that a woman MUST win her season, and therefore she voted for Nicole (even though Nicole massively disliked Natalie).
But it's not just Natalie who's trashing Paul, I would say the vast majority of former houseguests are trashing Paul on social media. I stick by my belief it's because they are jealous that this season is "The Paul Show", and they wish they were in Paul's shoes. After all, we are talking about a prime-time CBS show with millions of viewers every episode (all of which are majorly centered around Paul), and most former houseguests wish they had that kind of attention (especially considering most are desperately clinging onto their 15 minutes of fame and searching for ways to get back in the public eye).

There is a certain point to where Paul's game can be respected. He exercises great control over his alliance and has done it beyond the time his temptation's protection has given him.
But attempting to incite violence and cutting players off from all contact with other players for just for trying to play/campaign is beyond sportsmanlike.
Sure there may be former players going "Technically he's within the rules. Why didn't I think of that?" but on the other hand anyone who does what Paul does just comes off as juvenile. It's $500,000. Grow up; there are better things in life.
If Paul does shit to piss off jury members and they realize it, it's his own damn fault. Unfortunately no one except Kevin is capable of respecting their fellow players/jurors, and it will cost Kevin.

Shunning other players for talking to players outside of the alliance is fair game. Why do they need to talk to them? Creates paranoia within the alliance, causes possible fractures and trust issues because no one knows if something is being planned behind their backs.
Any outside talk can lead to deviation from the week's plans. Why allow that?

1. You can't criticize an outside player for having a poor social game if the house has a stranglehold on everything they can do. You can't say they aren't playing the game when no one is, except for the one idiot controlling the alliance. The outsiders are forced to play and the others just sit behind Paul's decisions. Yeah, it's a valid strategy for them to stay safe, but does anyone seriously think a player like Matt or Raven is actually strategizing?
2. Paul's group goes after their defeated after they've conceded defeat. It's poor jury management. Unfortunately the jury has to vote for a scumbag if both Final 2 are scumbags, and it seems our remaining houseguests are all in that territory.

lol, until Paul says otherwise.
When Natalie is not out there scamming her fans for cash she likes to pretend she was a decent big brother player.
I'll take "She Ain't Shit" for 200 Jerry.
I dont know what happened between her and James but she straight up loathes him now apparently.
On the current house status:
lol @ christmas thinking this is her move and not paul's
