I am also very, very glad we didn't screw it up for you.
Paul,

You couldn't screw this up for us. That's what was so special about this alliance, we won together and we lost together. This alliance felt like one giant team. Despite all the problems our three teams were having, there was never any finger pointing or blame. When one of us was down, the other two picked up the slack. It was by far the most cohesive alliance I've been a part of.
