He answered like he had a big chip on his shoulder. Yes, I was surprised, but mostly at the venom the jury displayed. Don't get me wrong. I liked the venom. It was refreshing to see their real feelings come out. I think it shocked Paul, and it put him on defense. It's not good to be on defense when you're in that position. It was hilarious.

That's the one question I would love to see answered by some here. Should I care more about a three month long television show? We've had hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes and threats from the monster in North Korea. I consider these summer shows as a diversion from all of the truly important issues. I can't relate to those getting so angry because we don't all like their favorites.

I don't think it was me. I absolutely agree it was Paul's fault they were mad. I absolutely agree it was his fault that he lost. I think Cody and Paul both got good edits. I think that most viewers don't watch the live feeds or read message boards. Those of us here, and on other boards on the 'net, are more educated about the HGs than the average viewer, IMO. Most viewers go strictly by what they see on network television. Yes, Paul was an ass who didn't care how he shit on people, and he was also dumbfounded that they figured it out. He played everyone for stupid. That was stupid of him. Cody didn't care what anyone thought. His most used line was "I don't care." His fans admired that, but it wasn't good strategy for winning BB. It got him $25,000. Good for him, but it's not much consolation for giving up his summer with his daughter. JMO. The only HG that I kind of liked was Mark. He didn't play the game well, but I think he's genuinely a good person. I did dislike Cody, Jessica and Raven quite a bit, but I didn't hate any of them. That's just too extreme of an emotion for someone on a reality television show. I'm passionate about real life issues, not reality television programs. I wasn't a "fan" of any of them. Just to be clear.

I'm not buying your premise that he's immature. You don't know that. You only know what you saw him portray on a reality television show. Well, I can't HONESTLY doubt it either. As far as the ebay thing, I didn't see any link to his supposed ebay business. Are we sure it wasn't someone's speculation? Or maybe even an outright lie? That's not unheard of on these boards. Just sayin'. And yes, coming into money can be a real challenge when it comes to beggars. It can be a real eye-opening experience. Now he can simply say, "I'll run it by my financial advisor" and then say his money is tied up. If they're mad, they're mad. Small loss. Edit: I just want to add, an Ebay business can be very lucrative. I don't think it's necessarily something to scoff at. JMO

She was definitely a puppet master over Matt. I think he'd do just about anything for her, at this point, anyway.

That is truly pathetic. Paul is a college graduate, has no dependents, and no physical limitations. I guess people can donate to whatever cause they want, but IMO Paul, himself, should put a stop to the GoFundMe account. Or take the donations and give them to a REAL cause. JMO

Me too. I am always amazed at how invested some of the fans are in their favorites. I like BB, but I just can't get that passionate about a mere television show. Don't these people have anything going on in real life???

Wow. Lots of assumptions. Did you watch the backyard interviews? Or anything since then? There's nothing wrong with taking a bit of his winnings and celebrating. From the way he spoke, he is very receptive to good business advice from his father. That says a lot. I'm quite confident that Josh will do just fine. I think some of you here would really love to see him fail, based on your comments here. That's kinda sad.

Of course that would be a safe assumption. I was only talking about the actual numbers. Paul had a LOT of haters. I don't have a great opinion of him either. To address your question, maybe the answer is that Paul had more time to show what an ass he is. It's not an either/or thing. Just because Cody is an ass doesn't mean that Paul isn't. A lot of people didn't like either one of them. And I suppose some people liked them both.

Again, you're entitled to your opinion. You've made it clear that you hated Josh for a long time. Perhaps that has clouded your opinion. In the end, our opinions don't matter. Josh's actions from here on will prove who is right. I was quite impressed with how he spoke in the interviews after the show.

Oh, I've seen it too. I don't know why you would assume that I am not bothered when I see people become targets. My own brother has been swindled by a "girlfriend" for about 3/4 of a million and it's still happening. He's "in love" I'm quite sure that she'll find other interests when she has completely drained him dry. We tried to get through to him, but he's utterly and completely conned. But it's his money, and if he wants to continue to live under the illusion that she has the same feelings for him as he has for her, there's nothing we can really do about it. He's welcome to come and live with me if and when it all comes crashing down. My siblings and I don't come from money, but we've all worked hard and a couple of us have invested well. I'm quite comfortable. It's been a lot of years since I sweated about how I was going to come up with money to pay a bill or buy groceries for my kids. As it turns out, Josh's parents have already lined up a financial advisor for Josh, and he's thankful that they did, which should say a lot about him. People have assumed he's stupid. I don't think so.

You've obviously put a lot of thought into this. I've never really cared how other people spend their own money.

Raven was quite the thief. Remember her stealing Alex's makeup? She has no morals.

The numbers don't really matter because passionate Cody fans voted as many times as they could with as many accounts as they could use to do so. Honestly, most people who watch BB probably don't bother to vote for AFP, especially in a season where so many weren't likable. I enjoy watching BB, but the fan favorite contest means diddly squat to me, so I don't bother voting. That multiple account frenetic voting thing seems very teeny-bopperish to me. Still, I'm glad Cody won so his fans can feel good about something. I don't think he'll be able to parlay the title of BB AFP into anything meaningful in life. He's still an ass.

LOL, well I'm going to be watching to see how long that relationship lasts.

Good points.

If you're referring to me, I never said he was a game master, but back when Jessica was stupidly calling him stupid, I disagreed with her idiotic judgement of him and stated so on this board. She's the one who was stupid enough to spend most of her time secluded in bed with Cody instead of playing the game, and didn't even make it to jury. She's a mean girl, and is unlikely to change. She got what she deserved. As far as Josh being "lucky", well, you're entitled to your opinion. Nobody has any way to prove if it was luck or strategy. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt based on his DR sessions. He wasn't my favorite HG by a long shot, but he also wasn't my least favorite.

A lot of people didn't think Josh was that smart. He portrayed himself as a big doofus, but when he barely defended himself when called "stupid", and when he didn't really cry about getting put down like that, I knew it was his strategy. I know some people will still call him stupid, but he's the one with a $500,000 check. (Take that, Jessica, and shove it up where your fingers like to poke. )

That's right. I didn't even think about that part. I bet he's got a super bad attitude today.

I wonder how irritated Jessica is that Josh won, and also that Cody voted for him. I wish I could have seen her face when that last vote was announced.

For someone who can fake cry the way she did, she sure wore her emotions all over her face tonight.

I know I said he should spend it on his daughter, but Jessica seriously does need help with her hair. I wonder how much good extensions cost.

Congrats to all of you here who wanted Cody to win AFP. I know it meant a lot to you.

Perfect! Thanks!

Yes! Thanks to the LFUs.
