Chanelle and Ellie out now, two of the front runners for the win. Realistically there's only 3 people in there with a chance (Raph/Isabelle/Deborah) and Raph just got given a huge lifeline to pull it back into his favour. Both him and Isabelle will gain extra support from Chanelle's fans, but Raph will gain a load of sympathy over the next couple of days for how he'll react to her going and we'll probably see a lot more of him coming to life now that he's not hanging around with Chanelle all of the time. Also going to be A LOT of screentime up for grabs now without Chanelle's acting up and the Ellie and Sam relationship.

He'd probably have finished 3rd or 4th if those 2 hadn't gone last night but the good old public have given him the opportunity to take his best mate leaving and turn it all around.

If he survives the twist then yes. I'm worried about the twist

The only possible way he wouldn't survive this twist is if he was against Isabelle right now.

The chance of him being against Isabelle is so small, especially with Hannah in there.

It'll be either Charlotte v Isabelle [most likely], Kieron v Isabelle, Charlotte v Raph or Kieron v Raph.

A lot of casual viewers like Raph. If it's Raph & Issy in the final two the older demo would go for Raph (he is very popular with mums, lol). It would be super close though, Isabelle is a sweet girl and has a big fan base too. Interesting to see!

They want to mother him

LOL! My mum and dad hardly watch but they both like Raph the most because he is clean, well-spoken, and polite.

I want to look after him. I would cook some pasta for him

[DouglasS]

I also agree that Raph is confirmed top 2 now, likely with Isabelle. Chanelle going a week before the final would only favour him, this is what I tried telling you and all the other Raph fans that were rallying to get her out 4 weeks to soon. It's best for her to go just before the VTW lines open inorder for Raph to peak at the best time for the voting lines. This will give him a strong edit and also give him her fans just before the vote before they could switch to someone elsewhere. This could propell him to a shock win.

[Nicky91]

i think Kieran vs Isabelle is most likely, cause Hannah already nominated Kieran in the fake eviction twist, so why not again

and Tom would want his revenge on Isabelle for nominating him there last night

[chuff me dizzy]

Not a chance in hell of him winning, its between Issa and Deborah

Agreed

I know we all press on about sympathy edits getting a few extra votes but I doubt it's the edit will earn him more votes. The people that wouldn't vote for him anyway are sceptical, and his popularity halted midway through. He's clearly the token early winner - best comparison that comes to mind is Jack from BB16, because he was voted an early winner 4 days in

[Vanessa]

Raph could win this. Omg I'm so excited!

Deborah will get the pity votes

[SteveG2688]

I still think its more likely that Isabelle will win. Unless she goes out this next twist but i recon Charlotte will.

[Littlegreen]

I genuinely believe he has a good chance, his fanbase seems more likely to vote than the others.

Right now I just want him to be in the final.

disagree - he has been a let down.

I hope he wins, I put money on him ages ago

I hope it wasnt the rent because your gonna loose it, simple, he cant beat issy, or even debs, or maybe even Kieran. His nasty side is gonna show now its all being spied upon. I think he will be up with issy and he cant beat her.

Oh God I DO HOPE NOT. He has been clung to Chanelle since day one, has been running between the housemates like a little bitch saying he said she said hasnt any backbone or proper opinions, made no friendship whatsoever with any of the lads. Lilly livered and very very disappointing. I quite liked him when he went in

He gets and got on with near all the other guys,except Joe.
Even Arthur he identified himself with.not joining in the attacks on Arthur too.
He always talked to and got on well with Imran as well.

He pulled Keiran on the drink issue.
Calmly and fairly got digs in at Joe for all Joe was saying and doing behind his back

Nothing wrong with Raph at all in my view.
Selective viewing as to him I think there a little.

Im entitled to my opinion joey I dont rate him as a good housemate and I have viewed every episode. He was around causing trouble by telling people what other people said then imploring them not to kick off about it. It was like schoolboy behaviour. I was hoping for so much more from him and he hasnt delivered

Same

[Vanessa]

Raph has been himself and for me it's been a pleasure to support him and get to know him. I just find him very interesting and i would love him to win.

Absolutely Vanessa.
He has in my view been great to watch.
