How (un)successful will Raph be?

[Braden]

Thought it would be a good idea to post this poll, so we can look back on it once Raph has been evicted/won.

[T*]

Leaning towards first/early evictee
I can't help but feel a lot of people are being overly optimistic :dog:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm hoping he reaches the final. :fc:

[Oliver_W]

Despite people whinging on Twitter about the Trump thing, I think he'll do pretty well - he's a white non-offensive attractive male twenty-something. The only time they don't do well is if they're bigoted/misogynistic like Sezer, or just unlikable like Marco.

[Shaun]

I don't think he'll be one of the first 3/4 evictees but somewhere between 8th and 3rd.

[Nicky91]

don't want to curse it, but i will just say Winner :worry:

[Jack_]

If he can survive the first two weeks, I think he's in with a shout of winning

[Jake.]

In the ideal world he'd win but it's not looking gr8 atm :worry:

He'll be in it until the later stages though

[Withano]

If he can survive the first two weeks, I think he's in with a shout of winning

Same I think. It is vte, and he didnt come across well to those outside of tibb, but I think he can turn that around fast

[_Tom_]

Out before week 4

[Withano]

Actually yeh finalist. Theres gonna be like 7/8 up this week, chances are the crowd will despise one of them, and I dont see that being Raph.

[Braden]

I should've included a 'cut before the final' option, but let's just pretend that counts as 'mid-evictee' :p

[Lostie!]

I think he'll be the male marmite housemate in the vein of Aaron, Dexter etc, both of whom did well (one under VTE). Will still come out to boos of course but I think he has a decent chance of placing well.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I think somewhere in the middle.

[Jack_]

Same I think. It is vte, and he didnt come across well to those outside of tibb, but I think he can turn that around fast

If he can work on not being put up this week, and then befriending everyone to avoid noms in future I think he'll be good. Just needs to lay low and let the (female) bigger characters self implode to survive most VTE's, he should know this

It's going to be interesting to see just how helpful or unhelpful being that big a fan of Big Brother/game playing in Big brother can get a person :think:

[andybigbro]

Somewhere in the middle!

I hope he makes the final though! :fc:

Certainly in the US and Canada it can either be your downfall or your best asset. The more you play up being a massive fan the more people fear you, so he might want to tone that down especially given Tom saw his 'gameplaying' VT

I mean this in the best possible way but I don't expect him to be a prominent character but under this format if you want to win, that's the way to be

[Rob!]

At this stage, maybe mid. Don't forget the rest of the viewers don't give two ****es that he posts on here :laugh:

100% especially if he's a game player with an American accent, the British public seem to hate that

Exactly

[snailwho]

mid

[Locke.]

Easy win

[VanessaFeltz.]

i really hope he gets to experience the full season.
I doubt he will win. To win you have to be a dull person

[chuff me dizzy]

Wont last long

[Drew.]

Pretty much has it wrapped up already

[Jason.]

Fourth place.

[EspeonBB]

If he can survive the first few weeks I can see him doing quite well, maybe 4th or 3rd

[azi]

Early evictee :fc:

[Greg!]

I think he's maybe in with a chance of winning? Idk I think the public will warm to him

[ChristmasNeeve]

I think he's maybe in with a chance of winning? Idk I think the public will warm to him

I think they will if he can get passed the first week or so until then people will judge him off his VT I reckon

[Daniel-X]

Out before final ten tbh, if he does make the final then fifth/fourth place.

[Tom4784]

One of the first three evictees, I think. Hoping for the best for him though.

[RichardG]

i think he has the potential to be an early evictee or a finalist

if people can't get past the whole american-gameplayer theme he has going on right now then he won't do very well, but if the edit can show that he is actually a normal person unlike a lot of the reality show rejects in there then he might do quite well?

[Morgan.]

Really hoping for him to pull an Andy West or Jason and get pretty far even though he's a bit of a game player.

[sampvt]

premature ejaculation of his game plan will see him go early, ish.

[Denver]

He is coming across a bit fake for general viewers tbh

[Peppermint]

I think he'll be a finalist.

[Firewire]

I think he'll go really far

[storybrooke]

Voted early evictee

[Kazanne]

I hope he does well ,it would be nice for Tibb and great for Raph.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

:fc:

[Amy Jade]

If Tom hadn't gone in I think he would go far but Tom will sabotage him.

I feel he could be one of the first 5 to go. Without being rude he has a lot to overcome and won't get the girl vote.

[Morgan.]

I feel like if TiBB put all their VTE votes on one or two people every Eviction he is nominated then he would have a great chance of staying. Its when the votes are more spread out that it's harder to keep it. This is why they should make it VTS but just for this series :joker:

[Novo]

Going all the way, he has the power of covfefe behind him.

The underdog :clap1:

[Lee.]

I'm just watching last nights show just now.. I'm a bit like :hehe: for Raph going in.
I'll let you know my prediction once I've watched him :)

[Jamesy]

I don't think Raph's VT came across that well. I do wonder how people would view him if he wasn't a member on here. I can't say he seemed like a nice guy from that VT, and his profile on the BB website is even worse.

Saying that, he does have a brain (a rare sight in C5 series) and comments on Facebook seem generally positive. The fact he's not another z-lister from a reality show on MTV/ITV makes him more appealing as a HM. He's probably the most normal one in there, hopefully that side of him clicks with viewers.

Sadly I think we're in for another BB15 with a vile winner. So Raph won't win, but I hope he does well.

Float to the final when he's nothing like he claimed in his VT.

[JerseyWins]

He kinda has a first/early boot vibe. :joker: / :worry: But that will make his win that much more incredible. :clap2:

[AarynGriesfan]

A girl almost always goes first so he's probably safe there. But I would be surprised if he had a long run as I expect him to be out sooner than later.

[LukeB]

He will have the underdog story arc and the public will love the legend :clap1:

he will do really well on BBUSA and i think he can do well on UK.

[Black Dagger]

If the lads turn on him he will get the sympathy arc going for him, so finalist.

Good post

I don't blame him for that VT because everyone plays up to some extent but its not surprising that it didn't go down well with some people. He did come across confident, friendly and articulate though, and he'll be really keen to get involved. There is a chance he'll get screwed by this early twist with Tom and leave early but if he can get through that I think he'll do well

[Adamw92]

Accidentally voted first evictee but I meant to vote "early evictee", I'm hoping he'll go further but I'm not sure he will at this rate.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I dont think he'll go if half the house are up, the female curse will save him

[Locke.]

Came across very well tonight, 0 chance he goes in a vote to evict this week

[thesheriff443]

I like raph, very confident, and its so nice to see an intelligent gay man on the show who is not like over camp and playing up to the camera.

[Merry Mockmas]

I think that Raph can take 4th or 3rd if his given a chance to shine and not swiped out straight away for being a Trump supporter.

[ChristmasNeeve]

He didn't have very much airtime but that's a good thing, under the radar for the first while will get you far

[Tregard]

Top 4, successful enough that he will be a shoe-in for the Big Brother World Championship when Global takes BBCan off hiatus

[Lee.]

He definitely won't go first.

I wonder what the non-Tibb public think of him.. it's fair to say we're all a bit biased.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I think he comes across really well. He's always smiling and friendly. He seems genuinely interested in getting to know the housemates. And i love his friendship with Chanelle.

[LukeB]

Chanelle got the most but Raph did get plenty of air time considering there's 16 people in there,

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

They're sharing a bed, so he will get plenty of airtime :laugh:

had a look at some FB comments and people seem to like him actually

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

:amazed:

[chuff me dizzy]

Hes midway in betting odds

[sampvt]

His actions, coupled with the views and comments from a vast section of the forum seems to indicate he is flying the flag for a lot of FM's and those actions mirror image the views and actions of a lot of our fellow FM;s. This indicates that he is a pretty good representative of the forum (if he wins) but if he does badly, he will be discarded like an old oil rag. Personally he is so far removed from my values that he is my direct polar opposite, similar to the way i am viewed on here, so thats no secret. However there are so many things he says and does, that make me believe he represents the forum members in the main, quite accurately. We will see how he gets on.

I completely disagree with that. Raph has been a member here for alot longer than he's been a HM, most of us are more loyal than that

[Jack_]

If anything I expect he'll have even more respect (well, from most) when he returns

I can't wait to find out about all the behind the scenes stuff, just how set up it is these days etc

[bots]

I didn't know Raph prior to his appearance on the show, so I have no preconceived opinions on him. Everyone tries to stand out one way or another in their VT so I won't be taking that as a reference point. So far he has shown that he is a bright lad and isn't the typical talentless wannabe that seems to prevail these days.

There is only 1 winner, and the way the producers meddle I would say his chances of winning were at best slim, but if he enjoys himself and gets something from it, good luck to him

[Gusto Brunt]

If he can survive the first two weeks, I think he's in with a shout of winning

Unless he has a nasty temper and is sly.

[Ross.]

He's a finalist confirmed

[Braden]

This closes tomorrow. Get your say in.

[Jamie89]

I think he stands a really good chance of getting to the final/winning... I have a feeling though that unless he starts overtly 'gameplaying'/causing drama the producers might not be happy with him and try and rig him out somehow :think: ... I'll go with 'Winner' anyway, he stands a real shot and it'd be great to see.

[Ross.]

He's a finalist confirmed

Changed to winner!

[Shaun]

Welp no one said 2nd but well done:

Auwelch, Black Dagger, Blurryface, Braden, caprimint, Dylan95, Greg!, Gusto Brunt, Hayden, Jake., Jordan., Lostie!, Maxxie-D, Mystic Mock, Oliver_W, Ramsay, ShakeyJake10, Shaun, Tregard, Vanessa, VanessaFeltz., Withano, Wojtek

[Braden]

Whoops @ no runner-up option.

He did brilliantly :clap1:

[Headie]

Wow I did that :clap1:

[andybigbro]

Damn I was wrong

[Jason.]

Fourth place.

Close enough!

[Nicky91]

:laugh2: at nearly @everyone predicting him as a finalist correctly
