Having vets back is one thing(which I don't particularly like or agree with) but having them back and favouring them in such a biased way is just pathetic
Paul getting that "Pendant Of Protection" was so obvious it was sickening. That overrated bitch Neda got given similar protection with her ridiculous "immune until Jury" pass...the only great thing about her getting that was watching her getting slapped out almost immediately after her protection had ended
Hopefully the same happens to Paul. Even before they fixed it for Paul to have a guaranteed 3-week stay(which he can now use to eliminate some bigger threats and worm his way in with a bunch of pathetic, weak minded, idiotic players) he was also handed immediate power on opening night by being given silly "friendship" bracelets to hand out..in an obvious attempt to get the 9 he chooses(house majority) to feel obliged to show him some love in return
Then we seen him putting himself up for "Have Not" for the week..but after reading out there's the chance to either escape or extend it..he's the first to take the "chance" to escape it..and guess what? yes, his clairvoyant skills allowed him to pick the box with the escape coin in it
Just before the reveal, when he was swaggering around(almost as if he
knew) saying "I'm feeling orange",, all I was saying was: Are you really "feeling orange" Paul, or do you only want orange after having a little chat with your friendly producers? you little bearded bastard. Now, granted, with only 2 boxes to choose from he had a 50% chance of hitting the right one..but let's not forget last year when Paul was the first(conveniently) to solve the clues and enter the secret room
we later found out he apparently "picked" the sealed envelope that held the "Round Trip Ticket"(8.3% chance)
that would have allowed him to head straight back in - had he been booted earlier than his friendly bb execs obviously wanted. It seems the production team is hell bent on meddling and protecting certain "characters". And while this might give them a continuation of lovely DR sound bites(which become tedious) or to help hold/force an obvious agenda, it comes at the expense of the authenticity of the show..which sadly gets dragged down to an embarrassing, uncomfortable, predictable and downright unfair level
