As soon as I saw the last comp, I knew Paul would win final HOH.

This was the closest I've ever watched Big Brother, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised with the end result.

However, in hindsight, Paul made a couple of fatal mistakes. I can't say the same of Nicole

1) Took Nicole to F2 instead of James, because he hated James and couldn't stomach the thought of gifting him 50K. I did think he would win against either but he most certainly would have beaten James, and I think by a landslide
2) He was mean. This is where I think he lost Natalie, and perhaps Day as well (Day brought it up at jury roundtable). He had an opportunity to apologize for the personal insults/name-calling but did the opposite. You can be loud and obnoxious, but he often took it too far on a personal level. He even made up the FT nickname, which a lot of his fanbase seemed to have happily forgotten

And I wouldn't say it was a mistake, because it was a factor in him getting to the end, but him turning on a close ally in Paulie also contributed to his loss. Paulie gave his vote to one of the only people who had his back at the end

I was most surprised by Day's vote

Overall, an entertaining season, can't complain
