The people in the UK did like Paul - look how many times he faced evicition and got off.
If I remember rightly Helen dominated the relationship inside the house and she had a boyfriend at the time. Paul did the right thing by not going too fast as he knew about Big G.
You said he is everything your boyfriend is not... hmmm, Paul has degree - therefore he isn't stupid (opposite of intelligent) Then you say he isn't good looking (opposite of good looking) I can think of many people on this board and others who would beg to differ. As for tanning easily and being half Spanish - why does that matter?????
Paul doesn't need Helen for popularity - look how popular he is on just this board, then think of other boards and people who don't even post anywhere.
Wherever Paul goes he is mobbed by loads of women. He has not thrown himself into the media, he has taken things at a steady pace and has tried some presenting etc. Wheras, not being rude to Helen - Apart from Lorraine I have only seen her in the papers buying clothes. Big Brother made Helen who she is today - if not she would probably still be in hairdressing.

Mark, firstly Paul was only kept in the house because of Helen and not because he was liked. He was also lucky enough to be up against the really unpopular people like Stu, Naz etc so it is hardly surprising. Obviously a minority of people must have liked him but they probably also liked Paddy! Just because someone has a degree does not make them intelligent because believe me I know some stupid people who have a degree each (apart from my boyfriend who has 3 degrees and is very smart). Paul chased Helen and she initially resisted him because of Big G. He kept on after her (once Penny was gone, Amma hated him, Naz ofcourse was married, and Liz was too unattractive and boring) and it is obvious he would have attached himself to any attractive girl in the house just to enhance his image (typical lad) and make him popular with the viewers! About the tanning and half-Spanish thing, well I was only expressing my preferences in men. Paul is hardly mobbed by women! He never goes anywhere without Helen for God's sake. He tried his hand at tv presenting as you say, which is true but he was an abject failure. Did he not do any presentations whilst on his degree course then? He might have learned how to lose his monotone way of speaking and might actually have learned to sound lively and interesting when he speaks instead of sending everyone into a stupor! I hasten to remind you of the housemates reactions to Pauls frequent stories. Brian was absolutely spot on about Paul. As for whether Helen does Lorraine or not, you cannot honestly have convinced yourself that Paul could EVER be more popular than Helen. It will never happen. Helen is practically a household name and her funny sayings are now legendary. There is nothing remotely memorable about Paul. Not one great Paul moment can I think of that did not involve Helen and is therefore only memorable because Helen was in it. I am sorry if you are a major Paul fan but although I think Helen is great I cannot stand her bloke. I suppose I am like Amma in this respect then. I did not hate Paul (that is reserved for Brian) but I came very close to it. We shall just have to agree to disagree about Paul I suppose.
