He has set himself up by far in the best position. Paulie is going this week and if not him Corey. After that he has Natalie/James as bigger targets, Nicole/Corey as a showmance who is a bigger target (or if Corey goes then Paulie/Nicole will still be viewed as a pair and target), then he has Victor who has a huge comp target on his back. The only other person he would need to navigate is Meech who he could probably take to final 2, plus if/when someone from jury gets the buy back.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually excited about how great of a shot I think Paul has at winning.
You know how guys are total suckers for girls? The guy seems so smart, so level headed and so focused. He swears he is going to keep his eyes on the prize and not let anything get in the way of that. He seems so tough and independent. But then in strolls this girl and she gives him a look and all of the sudden he melts like butter. The strong willed guy becomes complete powerless and paralyzed by a single look. Because that girl is so beautiful and stunning and charming. From that moment on that girl knows she can mold and manipulate that guy however she wants. No, this opening paragraph is not my attempt at writing the next hit erotic novel. Its the story of me in this game.
Let me tell you about the girl I fell in love with. His name was Christian. From the moment I read his first confessional outlining how his strategy was exactly the same as mine I knew I was hooked. I only fell harder when he started making outlandish food metaphors and comparing himself to a giraffe. He was so smart, so witty, so wonderful. I was smitten. So imagine my surprise when I stroll into this game and see him standing there. His golden locks blowing in the wind. I was paralyzed. I was fan girling hard. I just had to talk to him. So I laid out my entire heart for him. I told him my entire strategy in the game. I told him who I was aligned with and why. I asked him for advice and listened to exactly what he had to say.
So when it came time to vote yesterday, is it any surprise that I potentially threw away my entire game for him? Its not like I wanted to do it. Really. I was ok with sticking to the 6 we formed at the Joe vote out. They wanted Andrea out and that was fine by me. She has been manipulative and dangerous. So why did I let Christian get to me? I was weak, I was blinded. I was in love. He convinced me to take a chance. Trust me, he said. Well, I'm trusting him. I went all in in order to help his game. Do I think I'm totally screwed? No. I wouldn't have voted out Dylan if I thought it was a completely horrible move, all jokes aside about me being totally in love. But I do think it was a much riskier move. I'm not in the best spot right now because I fell into the trap that is as old as time. Guy sees girl, guy falls for girl, girl manipulates the guy anyway she can. Love, its a dangerous game.
