I have said this many times that considering from the game point of view, Paras is the best player. He is playing the game the way it is supposed to be played. Best thing about him is that he has a control over his emotions. He rarely looses his cool. He handles Salman very well. He knows how to use other players. He never goes overboard. His behavior towards the female contestants is mostly positive. As you mentioned in your post, even if he fights or argues with someone, he makes sure that things don't turn too bad. If this game was only about survival, Paras would've won but it's not the case. Audience votes and opinions count too. Paras is the smartest player inside but he is not the winner material if you look from general audience point of view. People like you and me might appreciate Paras' mastermind qualities but general audience want someone who has some grounding and integrity and unfortunately, Paras doesn't have that.
