Every time it's, "Oh, we'll just stomp all over everyone. We don't care," and it's just so annoying. :res: I also didn't like how Paul got frustrated at Steve for "sharing information" at the airport. The least of his troubles is sharing flight information that everyone else already knows. Steve is making an attempt to get other teams to like them (or him) more so they'll be less inclined to vote U-Turn them, which is much wiser than Paul's, "Oh we'll just beat them all. Who cares about them, stop talking to them," tactic. Paul's certainly not making any friends or allies with his ignoring everyone tactic.
There's obviously a reason some teams didn't like them Paul on the race. :res:

I thought Steve's choice to share flight information was the smarter move for 2 reasons. The first is the reason you listed: making people less inclined to U-Turn (or Yield) them. The other reason: You want to have at least one other team on your flight just in case any thing goes wrong with connections or other delays. That way you always have a shot at "not last."
Best Loser:
But Paul isn't being a jerk to people, when he says that he's smarter than everyone it's during confessionals.
Jimmer:
Yet he also says in confessionals that he needs to prove and back up that he is smart by performing well at roadblocks. You would only need to back up that you are smart by bragging about being smart. Hence, he has told others that he is really smart.

I really haven't seen him bragging to other racers at all. I think he means to prove and back up what he says to the tv audience. He is on national TV after all. ;)
