I thought that about Paul’s comment too, but then remembered they do spend time together between the round table and going to bed.
The arrogance of putting two of themselves in the dungeon made me realise how thick they are, if you look at it logically they had a 50/50 chance that a faithful would be saved, meaning it’s only traitors returning to breakfast, or even worse, no one being able to be murdered if the remaining faithful was evicted at the RT.
It’s like a game of chess, you need to be thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead.
And yes, Paul believes his own hype, complete dick, I’m hoping that the reason Ash’s reveal has been delayed is cos she’s thrown him under the bus!
