It's not really a criticism of Paige, or even Paije as I should be spelling it. His relief was understandable.
But not only is it the convention that a surviving contestant leaves the stage quickly, perhaps after wishing the remaining ones good luck, and they then become the focus of attention, but his mentor should have let go of the clingy big baby and consoled the other, who was left there to face the audience alone while this superglued hug continued.
It was quite bizarre. Like witnessing two kids taken by their mother to the dentist, one cries and gets all the hugs, but this is after the other one has been told he needs a filling and will be next into the treatment room.
