On Josh choosing Alex and teaming up with her against Paul. Alex is so full of Paul worship, just like Xmas, both of them think that Paul will take them to F2. Good riddance.
This year cast, worst ever: there is a small difference between madness and brilliance, with BB need to change and stay relevant and keep/attract new audience, I think that they tried something that just didn't quiet worked out, not worked at all. They are after ratings and this season is just no going well.
On Xmas working for Paul's mom: I did some research and I don't know much about Cali, but their house is worth north of 2mil and Paul's father is a retired civil servant/engineer. Paul's mom, I don't know, no records on what she does if anything. She may be a housewife or goes/works undercover. Someone made the comment about more than two people knowing about Xmas working for Paul's mom. That's usually not the case when there is a promotional/advertising contract. Aside from lawyers, only two parties know about it unless they want to spread the information, so it's plausible, especially if Paul's mom did some person management for Paul, but that kid gets around, I don't know how he has any money without a real job.
