BB18 Paulie Take the hint--It's time to go home!

Ok I know the Big Brother US Season 18 blog posts have been few and far between but I figured it was time as I sit here and listen to Paulie making his last hail-mary plea with Natalie, James and Paul.  Pretty pathetic really and I'm just confused as to what Paulie is trying to do here. Stating he is the only one that can beat "Victor" who he is stating is running the house when Natalie makes it quite clear that "No Paulie, it was YOU that was running the house".  James meanwhile, just sits there quietly taking it all in. I think he sees this as a pathetic plea being spoken on deaf ears. No matter what Paulie says and tries to flip things around, he just doesn't get it. He is so delusional putting his "family's name at it".. taking "one more shot (at Victor)".. he doesn't get it.. Victor is an alie.. they know he is not going to win the game.. he was evicted once and won't win it.

I feel so sad for James and Nat as Paul (conveniently) got called to the D/R and Nat is the only one conversing with Paulie's last plea. These two people are simply so sweet and don't want to piss Paulie off any more because the realize they want his vote if they should make it to final 2. But seriously people, it is time to put Paulie in his place and just tell him straight up that he is NOT getting their vote to stay.  The fact that his one and only plea is to have "one more week".. who the hell is going to do that.  Nat explained it idiot--Victor can't compete this week as he is the outgoing HOH. Paulie is trying to "take the first shot".. WTF?   James just walks out of the room and now Nat has to deal with him one on one.. the girl that Paulie has pissed off the most.. give me a break...
