I think Paul's fatal flaw was getting too close to too many, basically the whole jury, except Cody. Put his eggs in too many baskets. The jurors wouldn't have felt so betrayed if he didn't promise each of them (except) Cody they were his final 3. He still could have had good relationships with them, but he just went overboard on that friendship nonsense. Take Derrick, he really was only close and had loyalty to Cody, but had good relationships with everyone, so no one really felt betrayed by Derrick.
I think if he had admitted to Alex, in his goodbye message, the truth, like Josh did, she would have respected his game play more. He was "over the top" with his acting as if he was getting blindsided with every eviction. I really feel this is where he lost - not owning up to his game play (in order to "not get blood on his hands"). Most of the good players in the past didn't win that way, in my recollection. Just my opinion, though.Okay but my question is how did you want Paul to handle Alex? Tell me what would have been his best move.

In my opinion, Paul played the better game and deserved the win. I think that to some extent he mismanaged the jury, but the other problem is they were sore losers. If they weren't so bitter then maybe his mismanagement wouldn't matter. Obviously for some they couldn't get past it and others could. Part of it is personality. And you can't tell me that Cody voted Josh because of gameplay. He just hated Josh less than he hated Paul. I think that if he didn't have such a vendetta, Paul would have won by one vote.
I also think Paul did a bad job with the questions portion. He should have just owned it and said, "Yeah, I did everything that you're saying I did, but I did it because it's a game and I was going to do what it took to win." He shouldn't have deflected or denied. I think some of them would have appreciated that.
I wanted so badly to see the faces of Paul and the minions when Cody won AFP, but they had the camera on Cody, too bad.
One better way was not promising F2 or F3 to EVERYONE. Also playing the 'it wasn't me. I had no idea" crap was miscalculation on his part. Maybe that would work once but not 5 times in a row.
Also the 3 weeks safety was too much help and would have been nice to see the game go naturally. He may have still made F2 but on his own merits.
I stayed up late and watched the dumb backyard interviews. All the pre jury folks were happy Paul lost. They watched the season at home and it speaks volumes that they were happy with the outcome.
The other forum I am on was also pretty pleased last night. The pizzed Paul fan is rare. Seem to all be here...all 4 of them. Lol.
Eh, in the backyard interviews she was happy with the outcome.No they weren't. Jessica was asked point blank who deserved to win and she said Paul. And people on this board love Jessica.

I'm curious about the Christmas/Paul thing! Was this something he said in the backyard interviews? I wish I had seen this!And about the showmances....
Paul completely shut down any possible romance with Festivus. Definitively!!! Boy was she dumb to give up F2 for him.
Most people think Jody will last and make babies.
Mark and Elena may have a shot. She does seem into him. But most everyone else see them fizzling out.
Most everyone said Maven isnt even a thing and would not go anywhere....except poor dumb Matt who thinks they are lasting forever. I think he's in for a surprise when he sees what Raven is all about. Poor dumb fella.
And the nomance...they are in good terms but I wonder if Jason will ever realize that Alex was not a good BB player.
We all saw that this cast was....ummm.... immature and Paul played on that to his advantage. So therefore, it should have been glaringly obvious to him that they'd be immature jurors and vote more on emotion.
