Yeah for sure Ross!

For me, usually I like people on Big Brother because I can relate to them and personally, apart from Dan (BB10), Paulie is the person I relate most to. The way he detaches emotion from all his decisions is how I would imagine myself to play the game. So whilst he may come across as a dick, his personality really resonates with me because I see a lot of myself in him.

He's a sexist bully, that has treated Bridgette, Z and Natalie appaulingly.
Saying he's going to get Bridgette attacked on the outside, when shes the sweetest girl in their.

And how he'll get his cousins to jump on Michelle when she leaves..

I think you're looking at him one-dimensionally.

You can relate to someone who insulted all the women of New Jersey? You can relate to someone who cheated on his last girlfriend 5 different times? You can relate to someone who said feminist's like Natalie/Bridgette are the same as racists? You can relate to someone that said he was going to have his family beat up Natalie and Michelle after the show is over? I for one am glad that I can't relate to him and don't see any of myself in him.

Pretty sure Raph explained how he relates to Paulie and it didn't have anything to do with this but hey.

I thought you of all people would realize that for example just because you like Aaryn Gries doesn't mean you're a racist... And that there are other qualities to people that others may like.

exactly, liking a horrible problematic (which is most of the bbusa cast anyway) doesn't define someone as a person or say anything about them at all. A genuine nice person can stan someone like that and it doesn't make them a horrible person, Raph is one of the nicest members on here and him liking Paulie because he relates to him in a different way doesn't change that at all.
