Omg I've only just seen this thread

Can I ask some questions tomorrow? Been dying to ask you loads!!!

Oh I remember one of my curiosities

Did hearing Emma say "vote to save" in Week 1 affect your behaviour in the house? Did you explain to your friends the differences with Vote to Save vs Vote to Evict etc?

And when the vote changed to vote to evict did it affect your behaviour also? Or did you not really listen out for these things? (I know I'd be listening every week for it :joker:)

Also what was the ~biggest game move~ you made, strategy-wise? I assume you incorporated a bit of BBUS/BBCAN tactics to help you get further :laugh:

Raph congrats on the 2nd place finish my dude :clap2: You being on the show persuaded me to watch BBUK and now I kinda like the show. :D

- To your knowledge do people on the show know about or look at the BB forums at all? Just something I'm kinda curious about and I wonder if they mentioned it.
- Have you caught up on BBUS19 at all / do you plan on watching it or will you skip this year's season after this crazy summer? :joker:
- Did anything surprise you on the show (like how things are done or just about the experience in general) whether it was a positive or negative surprise?
- Was the house divide as strong as it seemed in the edit and who would you say you were closest to from the "other side"?
- Also when did you know you were getting on BB18 and how did you feel?

Congrats!

What does the house feel like to live in once it's been 'lived in' - so a few weeks in?

Like it must be very dirty, humid and smelly?

I thought you smashed it in there Raph

When in the houses, did you think of how TIBB would be reacting?

When did you find out that you were going in?

What was the 'celebs' week like and what were your opinions on it as a fan?

Thanks :)

Raph, thanks again for taking the time to respond to all of our questions...:)

Thank you man!

If I could go into a previous series I would probably choose BB9 or BB7 UK. Maybe (tentatively) BB16UK as well. :) Hiding is still very much a thing, can't really say where I went but we do have a chaperone with us basically, it's a lovely holiday.

Didn't that Sarah girl win? Every person i've spoken to (including queen Sukhvinder) was dissapointed with her winning, so I guess Sandi would've made a better winner? I didn't really watch it though so idk :p

Nooo I didn't! How awesome though. I didn't pick housemate number 5 this year in the sweepstakes, but every year my favourite housemate ends up being housemate number 5. Boy I begged producers to let me be housemate number 5 but they wouldnt let me. But then my favourite Sukhvinder became housemate number 5 and I knew the number was blessed as always :')

i have another question for you Raphie

what is this place you've been with Chanelle? i see Nobu London but what is it

What were your early predictions for how the series would play out (boot order wise)? Did anyone go early who you thought would make it far and visa versa?

That's where all the celebs hang out in London, expensive food and alcohol.

I think Raph is still catching up with the questions, maybe give him a couple of days before chucking out anymore?

Sandi won by process of elimination

Were you forced to talk about the CBB launch on Twitter because it came across very forced considering you never watch it.

...this is not the correct opinion

Dude, so much harder than I expected. The adjustment is really quite tough - I sort of compare it to being an animal in a zoo - after a certain time it gets harder and harder for the animal to be able to live in the wild again; sort of the same applies with Big Brother. Coming out of the house and adjusting to life is much harder than anything I did in the house, crazy!

Nah, I always considered returning, cause we all know how much I love discussing Big Brother. And a lot of lovely members on here I wanted to say thank you to as well for all the support this summer!

YES, hopefully can happen. Maybe a Raph/Joel/Glyn BOTS episode, that would be the dream :D

OMG that would be awesome! :amazed:

Is it weird seeing avatars and sigs of yourself all over the forum?

Raph how do you consider yourself Welsh?

I really want to know why there's so much mystery re: Arthur 'walking

Congratulations again Raph! Hm I was about to come here to ask what the hell happened with the toilets :joker: but anyway, my question is:
What was your opinion on how the show had been edited and what it actually was? Like, what was your opinion on them switching from VTS to VTE for seemingly no reason midseries? And what's your opinion on The Great Rig? (Savannah's eviction)

The Arthur thing is so odd. Rebecca seemed quite protective of him, at least that's how it sounded on her blog... possibly he had a mental issue that he didn't mention before entering the house?

I really liked him and was sad he didn't get to go further.

You said that Kayleigh was the only one you didn't like but what about Joe? He seemed to have a big problem with you for no real reason
