Not really total fact. I do believe the whole snake/black face thing was blown out of proportion. I do not think Paul in any way was trying to come in "black face". He was trying to pose as a snake by using his black face mask that he uses often to exfoliate. Granted that was probably not the best thing to think of and I believe production called him into the DR to tell him that. So after that he just came dressed in black with a diamond drawn on his forehead.
As far as Paul saying he did not encourage people to bully, yes he did. Please tell me how telling everyone and Josh in particular to get into Cody's face by bringing out his PTSD from his service by saying he was a coward and a joke to the military until Cody hit him or self-evicted is game play in any way shape or form. Why isn't Paul going up to Cody to get him to hit him, why is he asking Josh to do that. Granted Josh didn't have to do that, Josh is an adult, but Paul knew Josh would do whatever he said, Paul took advantage of that, but again how is that game play. This wasn't hey Josh right before veto start annoying Cody to make him mad, maybe throw him off so he doesn't do well in veto. Now that's game play.
