'Big Brother' Legend Paul Abrahamian Reflects on BB18 and BB19, Talks Jury Management, Playing Again

[@aryav4519]

Amazed at how many people Sharon is able to bring back👏 love to see Paul again!!

[@AmyVanDykenRouen]

I'm screaming!!! Paul is, was and I believe will always be my favorite player. Thank you for getting him to do this chat.

[@kath1648]

Paul is so kind! I met Paul in Centerville Iowa at our county fair! He was traveling across the country with his friend. They stopped to watch Whistlenut do his rodeo clown. Jason lives in our area. God bless you Paul!! Continue to chase your dreams!!

[@beardedqueen]

Love to see Paul again!! I’ve always loved them so much! They were robbed twice!

[@only1ldrennan]

SHARON OMG!!! This is hands down the BEST interview you’ve ever done imo I’m SO glad that you were finally able to get this amazing interview with Paul! I’m already watching it for a 2nd time!! Thanks for your perseverance! Great job in giving them the space to ramble in their so very interesting way… lol

[@thisismecindy]

I loved hearing Paul's perspective on how fans perceive and assume the player's feelings

[@christopherholland3464]

they didn’t want to talk big brother but then proceeded to give us the most big brother experience we could have gotten in this interview by moving around the house 🖤

[@Ravenpicks]

How to interview Paul -Just let him talk. I am glad he is doing well. Thanks for the interview.

[@kathywellerart]

So so so so great. Thanks so much for interviewing Paul, Sharon! I really enjoyed this marathon interview and hearing his insights and opinions. 🎉He is one of the most memorable BB US players EVER and it’s cool to hear his perspective and see what a real and genuine guy he is. I was curious as to where Paul’s been, and I now know: he’s been LIVING HIS LIFE like a human being! Good on you, Paul, for doing things YOUR way and not getting stuck in the reality celeb machine. ☀️

[@jasonmuiruri]

I love this interview so much it gives so casual with how Paul is doing a project and moving around while talking. Thanks for this Sharon

[@belpop]

it’s SO Paul tbh

[@UndergroundUnderdog89]

I hated that, it seemed so disrespectful to the interviewer

[@wweiceman]

@@UndergroundUnderdog89my first thought

[@parthsharma9606]

@@UndergroundUnderdog89 I thought that initially as well, but then again Paul literally never agrees to do interviews nowadays so we're pretty fortunate that Paul even agreed to do this lol

[@DarthKermit-fo5un]

​@@parthsharma9606Also interviews invade on your own time.Just sitting at a desk makes him seem less human but if he's doing stuff it makes him look more human.

[@wheresparis5723]

hoping he comes back for all stars , he’s been my favorite since his seasons !

[@paulaorozco1468]

What a beautiful interview. It genuinely made me emotional! Thank you Paul for accepting and Sharon for your persistence in getting this to finally happen! 👏🏼👏🏼

Paul is a legend. This is awesome

Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Paul. Awesome interview, Sharon. Such an interesting human,

[@lashesbykylie1757]

Omg Paul is my favorite! I’m so glad you were able to interview him, I wish every player had his mentality going in the BB house!

[@brando2233]

I’ve missed hearing from Paul. Thank you, Sharon!

[@lynnhurst7365]

I love Paul, thanks so much for sharing this. ❤ I'd love to see him in Reindeer Games 😊.

[@Gonzuh]

Paul has so much aura idc what anyone thinks

[@happyreality244]

Thank you Paul

[@BarbWard4]

I love Paul too. Always have. Always will. He is genuine. Really, though, I could just listen to him talk for hours. He soothes me. Sharon, hands down, that was just the best interview. I know I tell you that all the time but that was just great. Well done!

Paul has such a soothing voice!

LOVED this interview!!! I will say - I’m so very glad you’re fine w profanity! 😂😂😂 I loved the conversational nature of this, with him multitasking!!! 😂😂😂

[@iBambo]

Been waiting years for this interview! I'm at 38:40 and loving every min of this! Also shout out to Paul for the house tour! Hes right about how entertaining his seasons were compared to recent seasons!

[@JulieB333_]

This interview made me so happy. Great job and amazing to see Paul he will always be my favorite❤

[@andrew1900]

Great to see Paul doing well. Wish he spoke more on his strategy in BB and regrets if any

[@meechibell9602]

BB needs to have a "Legends" season, 1 month long, and it should have all of the best players to have never won including Paul, Vanessa, Danielle Reyes, James (S6&7), Janelle, Britney (S12&14), Tiffany, Kyland, Angela, Tucker, Caleb (S25), McCrae... I think that would be a fun season.

[@carm700]

The vets you mentioned would put on a fantastic show! Get Enzo, Devon, Matt Hoffman, Allison (exes season), Chelsie(bb26) and Chada(cookout season) added in there and we have 4 weeks of amazing TV!

[@aaronsmith4806]

I don’t think it would happen. Vanessa wouldn’t play again. She’s got a lot of money. They wanted her on all stars but her wife didn’t want her to do it either. McRae might but he’s also not the player he once was.

[@nickbagg]

Angela who lol

[@nickbagg]

Tucker was great good entertainment but he wasn’t even the best game player out his season I hope when he does go back he don’t continue to lean onto that character

[@bigbrotherspoilers9756]

whos caleb from 25? mccraae is best to never win?

[@barbramsay4276]

Awesome interview. I'm so glad you got him to do this interview. I've always like him and yes I agree you should of won Paul, but I totally get the not wanting to rub salt. I feel the same way about being nice not a b**ch cause you are correct honey is sweet and vinegar is sour. And who tf wants sour. Keep being you Paul cause you are an amazing young man and am so proud that you stayed true to you and didn't let the limelight change you. Stay strong, stay real and stay you.

[@delanellington3808]

As someone who works in public history this was not what I was expecting but Paul just became my fave to never win

[@Sakuraa3398]

A LEGEND Paul is the best to ever do it he’s so cute I needa see him more on TV but I understand for his mental health if he doesn’t want to but what an icon! Love his style and vibe! He was extremely robbed!

[@itsdaveoleary]

Following Paul on social media I've noticed them posting a fair amount of stuff about both ADHD and Autism, and wonder if they have lived experience of these. People in the comments talking about Pauls demeanour during the interview might find it interesting to learn about neurodivergent communication styles and maybe will have a changed opinion on whether they were 'rude'. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, thank you Sharon! You guided the conversation without stifling them from being themselves which was very skilled. Loved the blend of BB and social justice in this! Love from the UK x

[@barbijackson7174]

[@KaylaVaughn-lx7lw]

About 2 minutes in, I was like “there is no way he isn’t neurodivergent” lmao

[@danim6577]

40 seconds in and thought.. wow this is how I have my most deep and meaningful of conversations… not looking at them and keeping busy with a hobby

[@morphinpug]

I’m loving this so far. I’ve always liked Paul enough to check this out. I don’t care about gameplay, or him being on BB. He just seems like a person I like. I could listen to him talk about non BB things for a while.

[@HalieAnna]

PAUL! My favorite!! He’s so cool. 🥹 I love his vibe, this interview was so chill. 🖤🤘

[@carleneelise]

Thank you for this!!! I miss Paul 🥹

[@estellahenderson804]

[@Cierra_yo]

Love how honest they are❤

[@karenges2666]

Great job Sharon. I think this is the first Paul interview I have seen.

[@ro88k]

Sharon you're such a queen for this! Love hearing from Paul - the Armenian plight is so intertwined and similar to that of the Assyrian people and we don't get many opportunities for outlets to hear about our personal stories. Furthermore, our people are not often afforded representation that doesn't fit within the confines of the status quo so Paul holds an extra special place in my heart. Being able to marry that with my love for this stupid show means way more than it seems. You continue to deliver and as Paul said - thank you for your persistence and perseverance! This interview is a must watch for anyone in the fandom that engages in discourse on socials

[@DJGNYC]

QUEEN. Queen Sharon. Paul can’t be bothered to stop crafting but you STILL somehow managed to conduct an entertaining, informative interview. And say what you will about Mx. Paul, but they are a good get. I love how they literally walk away while continuing to talk & Sharon is just like…I’m going to listen even harder. A bizarre but totally compelling watch. Sharon is no joke y’all…don’t let the pretty face fool you. She’s brainy & excellent at what she does.

[@rexsturdevant5140]

She’s just on a different level 🙌🏼

[@emibot16]

love paul! younger me was obsessed with bb18 and would only rewatch that season. over aand over and over again😵‍💫 couldn’t get enough of him! one of the best players definitely, it’s takes a lot to get to the end of bb twice

[@BKind1960]

Fantastic interview! Loved hearing from Paul again! Thank you both!

[@petitepersianperspective3468]

So happy to see Paul do this. He should have watched his first season before playing his second. It would have given him more insight on how to play his second and he may have won BB19. Armenians do have coverage but it’s the Kardashians unfortunately. They need more representation like Paul!

[@522buffy]

I have new appreciation for Paul. Thanks Sharon

[@3299m]

I didn't like Paul on 19. All the bullying was not it. But BB at its core is still a social experiment and when you put people in a house and force them to align and backstab I get it can bring out the worst in people. Either way Sharon is killing these interviews. No one's doing it like her!!!

Paul played BB how it should be played

Paul should have his name up there with Dan and Will, Bro was robbed arguably twice (but definitely at least once) A True BB LEGEND!!

[@DarthKermit-fo5un]

People talk about how Paul got to final 2 twice and lost.meanwhile Dr will only got to 4th his last time.

[@aaronsmith4806]

The reason Paul isn’t, is their jury management was very very poor. The legends didn’t have an obvious weakness. Jury management alone can be biggest reason you win. Just look at Josh

[@aaronsmith4806]

Dr will and Paul had a somewhat similiar game for their first appearances. Paul dominated 2nd time but made even worse jury management.

[@JasonLee-mp9xi]

Paul was a bully and very unlikable. He got a huge advantage in season 19 and the cast was full of airheads

his game makes so much more since lol if he had known about the game he would of definitely won!! awesome interview❤
