I’ve just finished the whole series.
I was so bloody distracted by Paul though, or the lack of him! It must have been episode 4 or 5 I first spotted him and I actually blurted out loud (I’m in my own) ‘who the
duck are you’
. then I was just really conscious of whether he would appear or not and I can’t believe he made it so close to the end but barely got mentioned! Even when the other players were discussing before each banishment, they didn’t show them talking about him either. it’s so, so bizarre.
I couldn’t google it either because I didn’t want to risk other spoilers. I was convinced there was going to be some huge story about why he was edited out.
It goes to show actually just what they can do with editing. They pretty much edited a whole player out who made it to episode 10 and it didn’t even seem that clunky.
The strangest thing I’ve seen on a tv show like this.
Anyway I thought this season was fantastic for game play on both sides, traitors and faithful. Some very intelligent people. I love how Nigel and Marielle recruited someone and then she quickly turned on them both! Marielle said all along Kate was a danger to her and she was right.
