I really cannot grasp the level of hatred towards Paul. I think last night’s episode was the first time I’ve seen him have any kind of lengthy input on any subject, whether he was right or wrong, so there isn’t much to go off. I’ve seen comments about him being a pig and constantly talking about smut, which I’ve yet to actually see him do on the show. The only thing I think this can be based on is Jordan’s nominations, so I feel some people need to form a genuine opinion rather than going off hearsay. He’s by no means my favourite. Not even close. However, I think there’s a bandwagon that so many people have firmly jumped on and it’s not a good look. Oh, and before anyone starts, yes I’m aware of the stuff he’s supposed to have said before the show started. However, people are allowed to make mistakes, and from the little bits I’ve seen of him, I can’t see any outright bigotry on his part.

I think I’m also detecting some unconscious bias towards Liverpool if I’m honest.
