Blunders and compulsive lying are the name of this game.
Things are proceeding as they have the entire season.
Paul is still star of the show.

If were rolling with the Snow White analogies, hes both Snow White and the Evil Queen.
But first, weve got some blind spots to contend with.
Its clear where everyone stands going into the competition.
Kevin, on the other hand, would be happy with a Paul, Alex, or Jason win.
Ultimately, Jason wins, but not without some stupid moves first.
Alex and Jason dont seem to realize that everyone knows theyve already committed to each other in the game.
People know where they stand.
Why complicate things by play fighting?
Its a complete misread.
The most exciting fallout of the dumb move, however, is Matts reaction.
When I get cornered I get diarrhea of the mouth.
Well no kidding, buddy.
What Alex and Jason do is theSurvivorequivalent of hiding the machete or pouring water on the fire.
Otherwise, youre about to extinguish your game.
Jalexs love for chaos and lack of control is a blind spot that might bite them in the butt.
The absolutely bananas part is that it looks like it could work since Maven isthatblind to reality.
In the most entertaining part of the episode, we get a peek into the delusional world of Maven.
I dont understand how theyre so calm at this point.
Either Im getting swindled…or theyre really this comfortable with me, Paul tells us.
Maven opts to bypass the temptation apple because they trust their leader implicitly.
Peeking from Under the Blindfold
In this house of blunders, however, there is hope.
Intuition is stirring, slowly but surely, like a sprouting plant trying to come to the surface.
Christmas tells Josh she senses hes doubting Paul.
Josh says he trusts Paul, but he sees him getting close with Jason and Alex.
That said, I dont blame Kevin for getting skittish.
Hes smarter than he gets credit for and smarter than he gives himself credit for being.
The bad news is: Hes all alone.
After all, Paul is both the Snow White and Evil Queen of this house.
