Exactly Traci. Unless you have inside knowledge,
there is no way to know that no foul play was involved.

This is the quote that got Donz's panties in a bunch:

"As the home audience, we have no way of knowing whether the trick was 
pre-arranged with Paul or not."


I still maintain that statement is totally factual. How would anyone not 
associated with the show (or having a connection to someone working for 
the show) know with absolute 100% certainty that Paul was an innocent 
volunteer? Opinions could be yes or no, but the *facts* are that there 
is no way to be certain. Sorry Donz. You lose. Good day, sir.
