Okay, so just to recap:

Week 1 - Paul comes into the house, and fifteen of the sixteen newbies kiss his ass to try and get immunity from the day two eviction. The eight he doesn't choose are forced to compete for safety, resulting in Cameron's elimination from the game. Shortly thereafter, production reveals a twist that America gets to vote to give a secret power to one houseguest (in this case, three weeks of immunity, unknown to the rest of the house.) Naturally, since Paul is the only person the voters know that early in the game (I'm pretty sure the vote was offered shortly after the first episode aired), he wins the power. Oh, and all the powers came with "consequences", and in Paul's case, the consequence was that someone ELSE (randomly selected) had to go on the block at some point in the next three weeks. Cody tries to take a shot at Paul, fails due to the immunity, and he winds up getting blindsided when Paul's majority alliance takes out Jillian over Christmas.

Week 2 - Paul wins HoH, after the competition allows the house majority to just give him a bunch of free passes to try rolling a ball down an obstacle course, and he successfully backdoors Cody out of the game.

Week 3 - During the days before Cody's eviction, Dominique said or did something during one of her fun little "someone is getting evicted, so let's have a talk show" segments, so Paul got mad and demanded she get evicted that week, which happened.

Week 4 - Cody wins the buyback competition to get back into the house, after the house unanimously votes Paul to compete for them to try and keep the winner (unknown to be Cody at the time) out. Jessica wins HoH, despite the whole house egging her and Cody on to try and get them to fall from the endurance competition. But then she allows Ramses to go home. That's on her, really. Jess always seemed desperate to be in the cool kids, and I feel like if Cody hadn't targeted Paul week one, she would've been right up Paul's ass with all the rest.

Week 5 - Paul wins HoH, tries to take out Cody, but Jess got voted the power to cancel an eviction, so she does. But because Paul is physically incapable of dealing with the notion that someone might not do exactly what he wants, he tries to bully Jess and Cody. This is the point where Paul REALLY starts to get awful, rather than just being a Boston Rob figure that has everyone doing his bidding. He starts berating the outsider showmance, and sends his various attack dogs to yell at, and insult them (including belittling Cody's military service), in the hopes of Cody snapping, punching someone, and getting ejected from the house, all so Paul's HoH week isn't wasted.

Week 6 - Paul's ally, Josh, wins HoH, and since Cody won immunity in a temptation competition, Jessica gets nominated and subsequently evicted.

Week 7 - Alex wins HoH, Cody gets evicted. During this time however, Mark and Elena (and to a lesser extent, Kevin), all talk with Cody, rather than outcasting and isolating him completely. Thus, when Cody goes out, Marlena become the new scapegoats, and Paul turns the whole house against them, sending Elena out in the double-eviction.

Week 8 - Production introduces a new "Tree of Temptation" twist, but Mark is the only one who uses it, because Paul threatens everyone else into never touching the tree. Mark's temptation also happens to be immunity for one OTHER person, so naturally Paul gets it, because everyone needs to kiss his ass at all times. Mark is evicted nonetheless.
