Does the runner-up regret the decision?

Here are a few highlights from our chat with Paul.

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.

She worked hard this season and congrats to her.
