Big Brother 19 finale: Alex Ow on why she turned on Paul (CBS backyard interview)
Speaking to Dr. Will Kirby in the backyard after the finale, Alex made it clear that the biggest problem that she had with Paul was learning after the fact that he was talking bad about her behind her back. She was fine with losing to him, but at the same time she didn’t want to be completely humiliated by him on TV. She apparently felt embarrassed by some of what he said, and that was enough for her to want to make a move against him at the end of the game.
Beyond justifying her vote, Alex made it very clear that she remains close to Jason and wants to continue to be friends with him — also, she wants to be a part on an upcoming season of Survivor. Do we think that this is going to happen? Well, probably not, but never say never, right? Well … maybe some out there will say never. What we did learn about Alex in this interview was that she was determined to play — she only brought one dress, and was ready to be active and fight hard in order to do what she could to take home the grand prize.
As for voting for Josh … well, let’s just say that Alex didn’t offer any huge compliments of his game. In the end, we do think that tonight was more about what Paul did to lose the game as opposed to what Josh did to win. Think of this as a lesson that you do have to treat people right as they walk out the door to jury if you want to win this game in the end.
One more thing from Alex — she explained that trust was a key component in one of her decisions earlier in the game, and that was back when the two had some sort of strong partnership going. She did make it far with Paul, but she should’ve made a move a little bit sooner.

Alex is a bitter b**h who was outplayed by Paul. She is a liar and bully. she bullied Kevin and treated him awful. She was all the time punching Jason.

Give it a rest! I’m not a fan of final three or Alex for that matter but all is fair in big brother including how and why people vote in final jury. People say Paul played a flawless game, he never sat for eviction. This is not true, Paul lost the last HOH competition and was on the block with Christmas for eviction. Josh chose to keep him as he did on a couple other HOH opportunities where Josh could have backdoored Paul but chose not to. So as much as I’m not a fan of Josh he did make some strategic moves that paid off. Hats off to him.

Alex…..You were my Plan B….if Paul got voted out…but your anger at Paul is misplaced. He went to you and told you AHEAD of time why he would vote as he did. He was honest with you and didn’t want you to be blindsided.

I was most disappointed in Alex’s vote for Josh. I never expected her to be so PETTY and such a sore loser. Lost all respect for her as a player. Sorry Tiger.

The truth. Most disappointing vote. I expect recruits to a bitter and vote out of spite but not fans of the game. She of all on the jury should have appreciated Paul’s game play the most.

Alex not only sucked in the game, she sucks as a person. Her vote wasn’t FOR Josh. She’s a loser in life.

Say what you want Alex…..you came off as a BIG BABY. You loved Paul UNTIL Paul voted you out….then you became a SORE LOSER.

F**k her. She’s a petty piece of s**t. She claims to love the game and be a superfan – but she’s bitter because she got outplayed and gave the prize over to somebody that did nothing besides bang pots and pans. And Jason, he’s a ball-less wonder. This season was full of whiny b***es that had no interest in playing the game – just getting their happy place played with.

Alex Ow is going to look back at how she was acting last night and be very disgusted with herself. What a sore loser. I am most disappointed in Jason for letting Alex run his vote. I was a big fan of Alex, but I was so disappointed in her behavior on the live show last night, definitely lost ALL respect for her.

I was hoping she would win AFP until I saw her behavior in the jury house and at the live show. I didn’t want Cody to win, but I’m glad it wasn’t her.

And yet, she wants to play Survivor?! Holy Cow, her head would emplode when someone really started playing the game. Obviously BB was too much for her, imagine her in the jungle with EVERYONE outplaying her. It would get way too messy. These “games” are usually about lying and deceiving. It’s just a fact. For a Gamer, she really isn’t about the best player. Even Julie said Paul got robbed. Alex should be embarrassed.

Alex is such a salty, bitter b***h. So disappointing and sad to see Paul lose a second time by 1 vote. She should have put her feelings inside and voted for the better player. Jason, too
