Paul Abrahamian is once again in familiar territory: always a finalist, never the winner.
The “Big Brother” alum, 32, shared a message on Instagram after falling short on “House of Villains” season 3, marking the third time they’ve made a deep run on a reality competition show only to come up short at the end.
The “House of Villains” finale aired April 16, with Abrahamian eliminated before the final three, coming in fifth place.
“Made it all the way to finale & LOST AGAIN 🤡😩,” they wrote on Instagram on April 23, alongside a carousel of photos from their time on the Peacock show.
Abrahamian reflected on their long run in reality TV, which now spans 10 years.
“After a decade of reality TV, I still never take any of these beautiful, psychotic moments for granted,” they wrote. “A huge thanks to the wonderful production, team, & cast of #HouseOfVillains for making this season so special & fun!”
They also thanked viewers who have followed their journey across multiple shows.
“And of course, big love to all you freaks who watched, supported, and had fun with us,” Abrahamian added. “I know my anxiousness makes me flop on social media, but all the kind / funny messages really mean more than you know & don’t go unnoticed. thank you 🫶🏼”
Abrahamian ended the post with a question that leaned into their long-running reality TV track record.
“Will I ever win a reality tv competition show? or should I just retire 💔”
