Josh moving with the bigger alliance to save himself doesn't mean he doesn't have a social game. The fact that he managed to do that is a huge social change for his game, as he now has more allies and is no longer at the bottom of the totem pole. Paul did the same thing last season after Jozea & Victor got evicted, aligning himself with Paulie to save his game.

The fact that he did pick fights because of Paul telling him is very true. However, that reflects more on Paul controlling them all to benefit his game, which the jury didn't like, allowing them to vote for Josh instead. It's also somewhat a part of his personality, which he prided himself on last night.

Josh didn't do anything with the knowledge he had because Christmas was so far up Paul's butt that he couldn't make any move against Paul. Also, the fact that he had the final three with Paul and Christmas and made it to the final three of them backs up Josh's statement of being loyal to his people.

Even if he didn't mean to expose Paul's game, Josh helped explain his game moves. Paul lied in every one of his goodbye messages, not owning up to one thing he did. Josh owned up to the stuff he did in the goodbye messages, which helped the jury vote for him.

I'm not saying that Josh is the best winner ever. However, he definitely earned his win more than Paul earned his. Paul was gifted the Pendant of Protection, friendship bracelets, and more, starting Week One, making the cast have to kiss his butt very early in the game. Josh had to work for his position of the game, making him more worthy.
