[SarenaW]

Omg Im hiding in the bathroom at work right but just checked twitter and I am SHOOK

Finally home from work and I AM SO HAPPY! Raph did so well.. I'm so happy!!!:cheer2:

TIME TO GO ACTUALLY WATCH NOW.

[Shaun]

Thanks everyone for your posts all series :love:

Even though the Kieran/Raph shipping got really bloody annoying at times it's been good to see most of the forum come together and back their own.

In hindsight, we should probably have tried to evict Isabelle against Charlotte :ninja2: but no harm done. I've got a feeling he'll be extremely happy with 2nd place and is now a part of BB history. Which is handy really because it's probably the last opportunity :worry:

To all of you who've voted for him or to evict his competition, who've argued his case and fought his corner, it's been lovely :love: and hopefully an experience we won't have to endure ever again - Raph if you accept an Allstars position I will personally seek stress-related compensation.

Thanks again all :love:

[reece(:]

Go Raph!

Genuinely hope Vanessa is okay at home...

[Mystic Mock]

Here for him getting the whole cast to sign up

They're all great people that I loved every second from.:hee:

[Mystic Mock]

He finished in 2nd place which tbh was two places higher than I thought that he'd get tonight.

If Raph is reading this thread, you are the winner in my eyes, and technically the winner of the Launch Night lineup.

[jet]

Congrats to Raph for getting runner - up. Its a great achievement and he has done us all proud! :cheer2:

[Shaun]

technically the winner of the Launch Night lineup.

Raph to campaign against new housemates mid-series from now on? :omgno:

No offense to Raph but I just think that his detractors would've just moved onto Deborah and she would've won instead.

He did so well :love: Great housemate.

Patiently waiting for Raph to come back to tibb...

[SarenaW]

Honestly, Raph looks like he had the most amazing time in the house and I am so happy we were able to help him stay there until the end. <3

[Barry.]

Good going Raph.

[y.winter]

891080018369105921

Yes!

So happy for him seeing he made it and making a lot of good friends in the house.

[JerseyWins]

Ughhhhhhhhh at Raph getting so close to lose in the end. :(

Not sure if I even want to watch it now. :joker: Maybe I'll skip the last few episodes and just watch the finale. Is it even worth it though?

[Barry.]

The last few episodes have been great Jersey. I would give them a watch.

[JerseyWins]

891080018369105921

Yes!
Good to see him happy though and even just being able to fulfill his dream to get on Big Brother. :clap1:

Next is BBCAN International All Stars!

[JerseyWins]

The last few episodes have been great Jersey. I would give them a watch.
Ok maybe I will finish it properly then. :think: I guess I'm so close to finishing it that it'd be dumb to not get all the way through even if the last few episodes weren't good.

[reece(:]

The ep with Chanelle and Suki returning was iconic though??

Agreed. Great episode.

[JerseyWins]

Oh yeah I forgot Sukh returns. :omgno: I NEED to watch that. :joker:

[Vanessa]

Raph looked so smart last night. Very gorgeous :lovedup:

[Barry.]

Just got his legs waxed too.

[Vanessa]

Just got his legs waxed too.

Tom shaved his legs. :laugh:

[Barry.]

Sorry meant shaved lol.

[Nicky91]

Raph has done really well, so TeamRaph be proud :)



he enjoyed the experience and that's what is more important you can also see it that way


my initial fave Charlotte came 8th and i still think 8th place is a great achievement for her she also loved her backdoor exit, still finds it really funny :)

[Vanessa]

I'm excited for cbb. I wonder if Raph will watch it. Paul Danan :flutter:

[Barry.]

[JTM45]

Our boy did extremely well. :clap1:

It was great to see him get so much well deserved support here and also a bit sad to see the small number of people that seemed hell-bent on being ridiculously toxic towards him with little to no justification or valid reason.

As it clearly would though Good prevailed in the end and we had the best final three i can remember with Raph being the jam in the lovely lady sandwich! :laugh:
I really don't think anyone here could have represented our fine Forum any better than Raph did. :dance:

[Lily.Evans.XO]

I cried last night watching the episode and I don't even know Raph. I guess it was because I've never related to a housemate as much as I have done with Raph, from what I've seen (it's hard to make an accurate judge of character from a 45 minute edited episode) but we seem to have incredibly similar personalities and I also want to study psychology. When he came out in second place, it was like someone who truly represents me had nearly won Big Brother, and that was really special

For me personally I felt like all of us in this thread have been so together in the support, it's sappy to say but it felt like a win for all of us?

I've had a few rough weeks and it's helped me so much. Thanks you lot so much. :love:

It was so refreshing to see someone like him on T.V. I've re-watched his interview with Emma probably like 50 times already, he is just such a genuinely sweet and happy guy, it's really lovely to see!

[SarenaW]

I hope someone uploads a "Raph only parts from BBUK18" montage on youtube, lol. I want to re-watch from the beginning, but only for him.. haha.

someone did that for Georgina last year, so i hope a sort of montage for Raph as well, okay maybe i'm hoping for a Charlotte only parts montage either :D

[Littlegreen]

I wonder if he'll do one of his re-watch threads for his series. I'd be intrigued to see the show from the POV of somebody that's experienced it first hand.

[SarenaW]

That would be a really short montage. :fan: Teasing! keke

But yes, I think Raph fans seem to super dedicated to him so I'm sure one will (hopefully) pop up!

I was in tears yesterday all evening. I couldn't believe it when Raph got to the last two. Thank you all for helping to support Raph. It's been very hard, but I wouldn't change it for the world :hee:

Fantastic result! Both really amazing and lovely people. This is the only "civilian" BBUK I have watched in years (I'm a BBUS fan) and only watched because Raph was on it...I'm so glad I did and I am so happy and proud of him :love:

[Ant.]

I feel so fake because I've not posted here for a while but congratulations to Raph for being runner-up! And to the rest of the fanclub (maybe not me due to how inactive I've been) and all those who voted - you've all made a dream of his come true. Bless him :love:

Interesting lol.

[joeysteele]

I'm sure he is over the moon, this was the next best result we could hope for other than winning,after a series with so many tense nom and eviction twists.

Really great.
For me,because I know of Raph on here and chatted and interacted with him here.
It has made this series more interesting.

Again everyone on this thread,well done.

There will be one more at the very least, probably the last one ever. So he won't be voting for the next winner... it'll be the LAST winner. :spin:

[Barry.]

He still has CBB.

[lewis111]

His favourite task was meeting Nicola :love:

[Raxton]

The moment you realise
Everything he wear for the final, except for the shoes & shorts
Are actually given to him by BB in tasks lol

He hates cbb :p

[Barry.]

He hates cbb :p

Really? Why?

[Littlegreen]

His interview with Emma was so great, he was so excited it was like a thousand words per second and you could literally see the giddy-ness!

All the little nuggets of info I was trying to process, arrrrgh I want him to just tell us everything. :joker:

I know I entered this thread late because I hadn't been following this BB so didn't know Raph was a contestant, but I supported him and chucked some votes his way, so why Shaun, am I not added to the fan list? :conf: :nono:

Sorry, Suze, but you only posted in here 3 days ago and as I'm sure you'll understand it's been a bit hectic in this thread so I must have missed your post. Nothing personal, just hard to keep up with this sometimes. Especially the final week :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I hope Raph is OK. I have no idea if he will ever be back on this forum. But I don't blame him if he doesn't.

[smudgie]

I think Raph will rightfully be welcomed back warmly by the majority of forum members.
You always get a few sour grapes in the bunch, but he will rise above it.
I have never seen anybody so happy on that BBOTS sofa as Raph, he was and hopefully is still living his dream.
He gets to meet everybody involved in his favourite show and will see what goes on behind the scenes.
Great lad, great experience for him.

[Barry.]

I sent a nice PM, hope it puts the bad pms off.

[LukeB]

Here are his best bits

And he promoted Ch4 BB.:dance:

[Littlegreen]

Something that made me laugh hard during his Facebook chat, was him describing how he was spacing out watching this whole series so it would last a longer time. He mentioned BOTS and evictions and watching specific episodes etc... but he also said "the live feed after evictions" - little does he know we only got about three 30 minute slots this whole series on a Friday night!!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I sent him a pm that he owes me and Vanessa money ,

[Suze]

Sorry, Suze, but you only posted in here 3 days ago and as I'm sure you'll understand it's been a bit hectic in this thread so I must have missed your post. Nothing personal, just hard to keep up with this sometimes. Especially the final week :laugh:

That's fine Shaun, I was just being jokey about it :) You have done an absolute brilliant job with this thread :)

[joeysteele]

He has Suze,this has been a really good strong fan thread.

One of the best ever I'd say.

I'm sure Raph would be not only impressed but would have liked to be part of a thread like this one too for a housemate.

It's been a very welcome and needed escape to come to as well in this series on here.

[Vicky.]

Deleted some posts in here, can we stop talking about these apparent 'hate mails' as if fact? The post earlier on was read by a couple of people the total wrong way. Noone was saying they had sent any nasty PMs his way. I understand how it was read that way but thats not what was said, plus IF he did have any nasty PMs, he would just need to report them and they would definitely be dealt with, as we obviously do not condone that as it is insulting members...

So yeah. Just stop saying this please. As its just going to bring all the drama back up again. I don't need any replies to this post, and if you have any questions feel free to PM instead of replying in here. Thanks



And well done on second Raph :p

[Mystic Mock]

Has he been back on here yet?

[Vanessa]

Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. I was just so angry last night. But now Raph is a member h can report posts that are offensive. So all is good. :)

[Vanessa]

Has he been back on here yet?

No. He's probably waiting for things to calm down :laugh:

[SarenaW]

No. He's probably waiting for things to calm down :laugh:

I wonder if he is busy binge watching all the main show and BOTS episodes now :joker:

[Vanessa]

[Littlegreen]

Not yet.

But really it's just selfishness on our parts to expect him to rush back on, after being in such a small space and away from communication (other than the housemates and BB) it's obviously going to take time getting used to being who you are now as opposed to who you were then. Whenever he's ready he'll jump back on, he's still one of us BB nuts after all. :joker:

[DouglasS]

I reckon he'll be back within a week or so to post about it.

[Lily.Evans.XO]

Exactly. People are expecting too much of him like gosh hes only been out two days! Give him time to catch up with his family and process everything

[Vanessa]

I reckon he'll be back within a week or so to post about it.

I hope so. I miss him :love:

Can't believe I voted over 200 times. But I was determined to get raph a good place. And we all did it together. Great teamwork. Thanks everyone who voted :hug:

Voting makes a big difference. If we hadn't voted Raph would have finished 3rd or 4th. So overall I think we did incredibly well. I have a pay as you go phone, so it's OK. :laugh:

I was crying so much when I realised Raph was final two. I didn't expect it at all. :blush2:

[Lily.Evans.XO]

I was crying so much when I realised Raph was final two. I didn't expect it at all. :blush2:

Same here I was so emotional. His exit interview with Emma made me a little teary to, not sure why since I've never even spoken to Raph on here. I guess it was because it was dream to get on (as it is for many of us) and he did so well :clap1:

[Littlegreen]

Oh I didn't start balling until Isabelle's best bits. I think everything had begun to sink in by then. I remember hearing Tom come 4th and I felt almost euphoric about Raph making the top 3 (the unintentional aim that evening) then when he was announced top 2 - I literally sat mouth agog in shock.

I was so on edge/nervous that whole day, that extra tenner on votes just seemed the right thing to do and I'm chuffed I did it now.

I think I must have voted about 70+ times in the end? All I know is I was thinking Emma's voice was sounding more tired with each call... :hugesmile:

But it has felt like a team effort on here all the way and I'm proud of that.

[Nicky91]

i loved being TeamRaph, but also TeamIsabelle, TeamCharlotte this year


i really miss watching them :(



i hope CBB will be just as interesting :)

[Parallel]

Yes, I wasn't able to watch the final live but well done to Raph - he did very well in the house and made a great runner up. The top 3 has been the best top 3 in years!

[Jessica.]

I'm so happy for him, genuinely, he gets to be part of BB history forever and as a finalist at that. He did himself, his family and TiBB proud.

[SarenaW]

I started crying when Raph left the house to SO many cheers and he looked just so genuinely happy to be there!! Gahh. It was so lovely.

[SarenaW]

I'm so happy for him, genuinely, he gets to be part of BB history forever and as a finalist at that. He did himself, his family and TiBB proud.

And he did it by just being a kind, good person. Not slagging people off, starting fights, or being loud and obnoxious. Just a GOOD person.

........ and that is the absolute truth of his time in the house.
Well pointed out.

[Littlegreen]

It's a shame we don't get the DR uncut episodes anymore, he was genius in there.

[Shaun]

Can't believe I voted over 200 times. But I was determined to get raph a good place. And we all did it together. Great teamwork. Thanks everyone who voted :hug:

I like to think that we combined accounted for about 10% of the overall voting, and pushed him from 4th into 2nd :p

[DouglasS]

I think the vote surge in the final 2 is usually the biggest vote, and the overall voting statistics posted did not take into account to all the freezings/continueed voting periods [aka Hannah got less than 1 percent as she'd only had a few hours to be voted for]. So I genuinely believe between Raph and Deborah would have been very few votes, and so your votes were not for nothing guys, he may have been 3rd without them.

[LukeB]

Vanessa dw i voted 150 times but it was worth it

[SarenaW]

I'm rewatching from the beginning (haha) and it's so amazing to see how much Raph came out of his shell, especially in terms of speaking his mind (which I know he said he had trouble with feeling comfortable doing at first). Like, on day 4 he was in the smoke pit and people were complaining about Arthur and Raph looked kind of uncomfortable. Then when Imran called Arthur a "dickhead" Raph very quietly respnded "but, like.. no". You can see how much he wanted to speak out, but didn't have the confidence/was afraid of starting an argument.

Then flash forward a few weeks, him speaking up when Lotan was arguing with Chanelle, calling out Kieran for hiding booze, defending Chanelle against Sue... The character development. :clap2:

[Vanessa]

[Vanessa]

I hope he comes back. If not, that's OK too. I know he appreciates all the support. They should invite Raph on Bots. He would give great opinions. Or he would be great on The Wright Stuff.

[Ninastar]

BB only just ended, I'm sure he'll have interviews and stuff for the next few days so he won't have much free time. He did say on fb he will get back to everyone, so just be patient and I'm sure he will be ok eventually

Also, I'm sure he will have had to make agreements with channel 5 or whoever owns BB about what he can say and when he can post on here.

[DouglasS]

He'll definitely be on BBOTS on CBB, they always invite back past houseguests, especially memorable ones or finalists. He was runner up, so he'll be back. Isabelle/Raph/Deborah/Tom/Chanelle will likely be the go to's for BBOTS. The finalists, and likely Chanelle on top for being so memorable.

Raph/Chanelle/Isabelle reunion?

[DouglasS]

Three of the best housemates of BB18. Really liked that the majority of the housemates I liked made it to the last few weeks. Would have liked to see more of Arthur however.

[Littlegreen]

Oh my god he used to sing the High School Musical soundtrack with Isabelle... kinda relieved we never saw that tbh, my fan-card would have suddenly gone missing at that point. :whistle:

Absolutely Vanessa.

Great effort, however I have to concede that if anyone has you supporting them, that makes for a very formidable level of support indeed.

You are tireless in your efforts,I was once a few years back on the opposing side so know that very well :joker:

This has been a strong push for Raph from the people on this thread.
Faced with often unfair and unnecessary treatment elsewhere too.

I doubt anyone would not say you have been at the forefront of this support.
I think you have been incredible throughout just as Raph has been too,for all his time as a housemate keeping us entertained.

I'll never forget his singing Happy Birthday in the languages he speaks.
I really loved that diary room segment.

Again however,well done everyone on helping Raph live his dream and make the final of BB.
Top male housemate likely all through and a worthy runner up among 2 of his new friends in the house.

[BBUK-Fan]

Can't wait for Raph to see all the support we have given him over the series.

[Littlegreen]

I agree with everybody else, Vanessa is the one. She has even boosted my support for Raph when it's dwindled a tad. She truly never faltered throughout the series. :love:

- Welcome back Raph (please try to ignore the Kieran/Raph fanfiction that rph lead everyone astray with... :joker::nono:)
