Does the runner-up regret the decision?
Here are a few highlights from our chat with Paul.
On if he blew it by not bringing James to the end:
I dont know.

Honestly, Im hearing left and right jury would have done this, jury would have done that.
But clearly seeing how that turned out, I think it would have been the same way with James.
I think there was just a slight distaste for how crazy I was.
On whose vote surprised him the most:
I was really shocked by DaVonnes vote.
I didnt really understand why she did that.
I dont think that should take away form her win.
She worked hard this season and congrats to her.
