excuse you, Isabelle is orange so it was a level playing field.

And my only question is regarding Rachel Rice... whatisthetruth.gif?

Well done Raph, you were a joy to watch.
It looks to me like all my questions have already been asked, so, could you tell us what your very top moment/experience/incident was, and why.

Did you think about who TiBB would be liking and disliking, and what they would think of the series at all? If so, who did you think would be popular and unpopular on here?

Have you watched it yet?

If yes, did any of the editing completely change the way you remember anything?

Spoiler:

there was one time when the ex housemates came back in - and the highlights were 20 mins of fighting really - the ex hms leave - camera cuts to you - "I had such a great day"
It looked bizarre! But I imagined you really did have a great day, but they only showed the fights


If no, will you ever watch it or is it something that you will purposely avoid

Hi! You were great! what an achievement for a superfan

Was there anything from past BBs that you were hoping to experience, or was it everything you were expecting it to be?

What was your first impression of Chanelle and Isabelle? Did you expect that they will become your friends?

Hi Raph,

I joined the forums when you were in the house. You were a fantastic housemate and my favourite. I was wondering what was the scariest moment in the house and what moment shocked you the most?

What does the diary room look like from the seat? Also, is the house bigger or smaller then on TV? Rest assured, I think we can all say but we are proud of you and I'm still recovering from the fact that a TiBB member went into the house, let alone being the runner up of the entire series! Well done. I suppose I can use this opportunity to say that I've spoken to a Big Brother housemate to my friends!

oh one last question, were there any moments in the house you would like to share which were not included in the Daily Highlights shows?
Hello there Eddie If I went back in, I think I would be more vocal with some of my opinions. Honestly getting told the public thought I was the most '2-faced' really stressed me out and made me not want to express my opinions as much, and I wish it hadn't been the case. But really no strong regrets, 2nd place was a beautiful feat which I was honoured to be.

I think for a lot of the other housemates nominations were tough but for me I LOVED them. I think every week I was the fastest to nominate. I spent my time always having a clear idea in my head of who my next targets would be etc, so when nomination day came I was just so excited to do it!

Honestly, there are so many moments not included in the daily highlights shows. For example, Lotan was lovely and I spoke to him quite a bit. Same with Rebecca I actually had a really good bond with Rebecca and she would always tell me how she was doing BB to grow psychologically as a person etc. Also, whenever I got upset, Rebecca was always first to comfort me.

I had lots of deep meaningful chats with Sukhvinder as well, none of which were shown I think. I actually haven't seen most of it though, so it would be hard to answer this question in more detail without having seen it.

Umm no, I still think everyone should go through the whole audition process, and I'm fundamentally against recruits whereby they start the audition process in April/May versus January like me or Sukhvinder did. It just doesn't seem very fair, but recruiting in itself is fine, as that can find really interesting housemates. Just would rather if they went through the whole process.

And no, I think i've answered this before but I felt like I had no chance. Heck, I thought I was going to finish in 4th so it meant the absolute world to me, to finish in 2nd!

Why is even going on about Rachel rice?

Also if you had to pick who were you most attracted to in the house?

Did you or the other housemates know that hannah and Tom would be in a secret room?

And

What was your favourite task?

I loved the turnaround in your relationship with Tom. I know you've mentioned liking Lotan a lot, but I do believe his ejection allowed Tom to bond more with other housemates - including yourself.

First of all, welcome back Raph!

I was in the audience of Launch Night and I remember how nervous you were walking down that runway. You won quite quickly the "that Trump guy" title from the snippet they had shown in the beginning of the show and it didn't help you a lot that night I must admit you had a terrible VT to go with. What do you think about it?

And these are questions from the Jamie thread from earlier on:
  • What has happened on the last day when we weren't watching?
  • You seemed very keen on promoting the house divide in its early stages (I can't blame you, the best series had one), including creatively labeling them as "popular crew" and "exile crew" (like B-Block, Insiders vs Outsiders) and emphasizing it frequently in the DR and with your Thorn Cottage chats with Chanelle/the sisters.
    How much of a self-conscious move was it? I believe it was the natural direction of this house, but you did give it the push that it needed to blossom into the huge divide (culminating in Fight Night 3).
  • Which also leads me to the next question - Fight Night!!! How was it? How terrifying was it? You clearly weren't expecting the divide to go all the way into the events of day 20. Did you fear you've done a mistake by helping the whole divide that could've cost you with Chanelle/Deborah being ejected? I'm not saying it in a bad way or blaming you for it of course, but in my eyes it looked like you really liked keeping the divide alive and suddenly it went out of hand and you felt like it all backfired (luckily only Lotan got the boot ).

Raph! Who did you talk to about BBUS/Can, did they like the sound of the format and did you manage to persuade anyone to watch them in future? And can you put a word in with the producers to switch formats

Also, how do you feel having been present for what a lot of us were calling Fight Night 3 (Lotan's ejection)? Did the inner fan in you love the drama (either retrospectively or at the time) or were you too concerned about what was happening?
