Now I really like Raph. I have judged that on Raph the housemate and not the Forum member.
I just wish he would be more vocal in the house. In the diary room yesterday he just couldn't get his words and observations out quick enough..it was like someone had plugged him in.
It's obvious he doesn't like confrontation but he stepped up to Joe. He knows the game inside and out and I know he is probably thinking if he makes waves he will be an easy target...and we can all see how nervous he is when he is up.
But I love his observations but I feel he is so desperate to win this he is holding back...and I for one would love him even more.

Yes, he's trying not to get nominated. But it's nice to see how much the public like him. For once they're supporting a genuine nice guy and not one of the Towie lot.

[y.winter]

I do get the slight feeling that he's trying to do the "right" moves to stay in the game, and it's not always goes hand in hand with how he really wants to act.
Is it worth winning BB while being fully restrained?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

His game plan is simple, sit back, be nice and let all the others win it for him by being horrible human beings

[rusticgal]

He is a genuinely nice guy....and I really hope he wins. I just love his observations I just wish he would make it known if and when the time is right.
There will come a time (as we all know) when his comments may be played back into the house...and I don't want to see him called out as. 'Game player'...I want him to be true to himself.

[ethanjames]

in all honesty everyone has a game no matter what everyone has a plan of how they will act in the house. people who say they don't are lying because they all know what they are going. I do think raphs game plan is quite clever as he has formed enough alliances but not stirred drama. I wish they filmed him more though

Isn't that being a 'fence sitter'....?....just be yourself..it's not like he is offensive. I just think he will be loved more and even be one of the best winners ever if he expressed himself in the house and not just the Diary room.

[Amy Jade]

I'm going off him a little, same as Charlotte...they are just there really and add 0 to my enjoyment of the show.

If I didn't like Raph from here I would be calling him dull by now tbh

[susie q]

Face to face nominations might just suit him, Ive a feeling that he maybe a slow burner, who will go for it if hes pushed hard enough.

I said the same earlier, he's like a Disney character on speed in diary room and a rabbit in headlights in the house ,THIS is what I dont like as one of his personas is real and one is fake

[RhysJones]

If he does win then he will join a growing list of inoffensive dull winners such as Sam and Chloe

[Vanessa]

He is a nice guy. Personally I find him very interested. There's definitely more to him than meets the eye. Housemates underestimate him.

Once again, let me tell you he is a bad un. Never mind all the support on here, the lad is a total fake. He is now showing his true colours. He is a tittle tattle merchant and a **** stirrer. He wont last another week before he gets into it with someone and Im guessing it will be tom or Joe.

He is trying to build alliances allover the house but he forgets these idiots are agented up and know the RTV make up way better than him. He just know BB and hes making a pigs ear of it now.

The Oracle speaks, HE IS A BAD UN, period. Ive called nearly every single thing and person for what they are to date and Im not wrong about this numpty.

[Lstan]

I think its clear why hes holding back, hes a smart game player and wants to stay on side with the public as well as the house. I would be very surprised if he didnt win.

[Vanessa]

He's in game playing mode now and I love it! Go Raph

[RhysJones]

He's starting to show his true colours tonight, going to Deborah **** stirring. He's two different people in the diary roon and outside

He's very smart. It is a game show, and the others also playing, I think. Some are more obvious than others. Lotan the biggest game player there.

[joeysteele]

I think he is doing really good.
Anyone planning a game going in,soon find it doesn't go to plan.

Raph is a great and decent guy, he is on here too, so he is being himself I'd say.
That's no bad thing.

This is rare too, I talk to a fair number of people about BB off here,a mix of family,friends and those I come across talking casually about BB.
I have honestly yet to find anyone off here,who doesn't like him.
If that's a game plan,then I'd add it's a pretty good one.
However again,I think Raph is just being in the main,his decent self.

As a massive Big Brother fan he knows the game inside out. The others underestimate him. More fool them. But he's Also a nice guy. Playing the game doesn't mean the person is bad. Like Aaron, for example.

I agree...disappointed. Why didn't he voice his opinions to their faces. That wasn't a good move IMO..

He just doesn't like confrontations. But he's being more vocal now and I think it's a good thing.

[LeatherTrumpet]

He ws awful tonight. Such a woos

[fitz2k2]

Raph is a weasel.he plays both sides.Acts like hes crying ,but deep down he doesn't give a **** about the housemate. He is biggest arse licker in the show. I cant wait later on in the season they show what housemates been saying behind peoples back.
