Samuel Paul

Samuel David Paul is a HouseGuest on Big Brother 1. Upon entering the house, Paul formed a close bond with Amanda Wilson and Natasha Antoni, whom he viewed as people similar to those he was friends with in real life. He attempted to remain on good terms with people in the house, but after Wilson's sexism controversy in Week 1, he was forced to take her side and was part of the minority who voted to keep her that week. In the subsequent weeks, Paul laid low and continued aligning himself with Natasha. In Week 4, he formed the alliance Operation: Eviction with Natasha and Gaby Highlands. However, Highlands was evicted that week, and Paul was evicted the following week during April Toole's reign as Head of Household, after Antoni had saved herself with the Power of Veto. This made Paul the first member of the jury.
