I mean, just look at his account and read his past posts? He was always really nice. Seems like a just genuinely good kid who loves Big Brother. He obviously played up his VT because he knows BB has been going after the big characters.

He is a great guy and that is known on here.
In the past he has, time allowing done a football game with me and others.
He's always supportive and friendly obviously when treated right.

As you say VTs do get exaggerated to get on the show.

I don't get the rather acidic put downs either.
I'm actually glad a TIBB member is on the show and it's great seeing him there too.

Okay,he may not be everyone's kind of housemate but even if didn't know of Raph on here, he would still be my favourite in this series with this bunch.
As he is my kind of housemate.

Mischievous, interesting,team player,friendly,not strongly aggressive, has his boundaries but outside of that much of anything else goes.
Makes his points when needed without resorting to insults.
A good all rounder for me,not in the background,not in your face,not using aggression,tantrums or false romantic storyline to get airtime.

I keep saying this word and it's he's a really nice housemate.
It appears nice is not what you should be on BB for some but that is the usual kind of housemate I like to support.

Yes,he'll talk about the others, yes he would like to win if he can, and plan a little how to.

They are all doing that for goodness sake.
He is called a snake for doing so which is in my view,totally and utterly ridiculous.
Good luck to him,I am proud to be supporting him,I will for sure do all I can to help him win.

[Cherie Christmas]

He seems like a nice guy as a forum member, but in terms of viewing as a housemate for me so far he has been prerty average

[Tinsel Toes]

For Raph its all about the experience and his plan is to make the most of every moment in there, i think he's doing a pretty good job of exactly that , he's an all round jolly good fella and he certainly deserves to be in the final.

Keep enjoying Raph

[Tinsel balls]

He seems a nice guy , but that's it , I don't exactly get excited about seeing what he has got up to on BB because it's more or less always the same , there is nothing outstanding as a housemate for me , but we have two weeks left , maybe he will pull something out the hat.

Not me, debe has him covered.

I dislike him cause he is a boring hm with no redeeming qualities other than having a cute spoilt little boy look about him.

[Nicky91]

i find Raph a nice guy, and he will Always be my friend on here


but there are people who saw his VT, or checked his instagram or twitter page, and see his fancy holidays, and think of him as a elitist


i just think that Raph and Charlotte are the 2 most Obvious game players this year, in so many ways they are so similar, both went to privileged schools, Raph more in foreign countries, Switzerland and France

both love travelling a lot, both maybe middle to upperclass families, whereas Raph wants to be friends with everyone, Charlotte has more a bad side to that, thinking she's a bit better than some people, not her own fault she just doesn't know better

both are really intelligent and classy, i just love supporting the 2 most classy hm's this year

[Paula D]

For me I don't hate Raph, I just don't like him either. For a number of reasons:

1. He's a wimp-listens to people bitching and nods with the "for sure" "for sure" and then goes relaying it back to his friends.

2. He's just not funny. Nothing he says makes me laugh, his pranks are ridiculous. He just doesn't entertain.

3. He played the victim too early. Imo this was his game-plan going in but he played it too early, now Joe is gone he's no-one to claim is bullying him and so he's desperately trying to hang on to the divide.

4. He's a liar. He definitely didn't vote for Trump and his reasoning behind it wasn't even a good explanation. They all big themselves up in their VT, I get it but that was an out and out lie.

5. The endless threads on here about him doing my head in. I don't think you guys realise you're the only ones obsessed by him. He's just not that interesting without Joe in there. It's tiring to see 2 or 3 threads every day about Raph. His fans can't see anything he does as wrong, his haters can't see anything he does as right.

6. Lastly, he picked Sue in that task because he didn't think BB was going to say who picked who, pure and simple. He knows Sue wasn't competition for him. I'd have more respect if he'd gone to the diary room at least and admitted it instead of putting his little boy face on to get away with it. The little boy face drives me mad.

Anyway, enough of the rant for today

yes he has another victim, Charlotte will be called his bully now just for his storyline

having said that, I Love Raph and he's the ultimate bb game player

[Littlegreen]

I wasn't aware of him previously as a member, I have just found him really intriguing and adorably awkward in the show.

[Ellen]

I wasnt aware of him as a member. On BB he does nothing for me, very little character imo

[RhysJones]

Unlike some on here, I judge him from his actions in the house which have not been great at all. He seems a slimy character who bitches about people behind their backs but will never tell them to their face.

He was a threat since he was odds on favourite to win for a while, but now he's losing more and more fans since he got the 'normal nice guy vote' that vote is going towards Deborah now. Deborah, Chanelle, Ellie, Kieran and Isabelle could all beat him in a VTW

Funny how we can experience the same thing but have completely different takes on it.

It's not really at all. If you've decided who your favourite is since the beginning then you just view everything they do positively.

Not rocket science.

[Parumpapapump]

He aint fake..i assume he is the boring and unfunny arrogŕant stuck up twat with no morals or loyalty that he is coming across as.

Not really. I didn't think he was right saving Sue last week, I understood his reasons but I'm not a hypocrite and I said it was a dick move.

Overall he has been the housemate I've wanted to watch the most.

How are you at spotting fake people?

do you have any credentials we could analyse?

Why? 90% of the time he's on screen he's just laughing at something Chanelle did. Would the entertainment of this series really have suffered had he not been in it?
