You are out of your mind if you actually think Paul deserved to win this season. Its possible to be good at getting to the end, and still play a poo poo game. Not that Josh is an amazing winner or anything, but If you compare this to Dans second season, Josh was definitely a better winner than Ian (though comparable for a lot of reasons). Watching Codys vote be the nail in the coffin made my night and my season.

"Puppetmasters" don't usually win because they either get taken out before hand or they leave too bloody a trail. Its why Will, Dan, and Derrick's wins were so impressive.

Dan's first game was way less puppetmastery, and ultimately his win was purely from his Jury management, especially helped by the fact that he won some 1 on 1 time with a juror that he otherwise probably wouldn't have gotten a vote from. He didn't play an ugly or mean game at all. Derricks puppet mastery was also not mean spirited and didn't leave people feeling like they were used and made to look like fools. Even with Will, he was such an underdog, for so long, that it was like he started at the bottom and had to really earn his spot (Dan too on this one).

Paul basically came into the house in power and stayed that way, so there was no humility in his game or personality. He had none of the redeeming qualities to his game that Dan or Will had, and he did it with scorched earth, unlike Derrick who almost seemed to avoid responsibility for anything with no effort. Its definitely possible to win the puppet master game, but you need some humility and humbleness about you or you just come off looking like a dictator, and not a game player.
