This is not a Raph hate thread , nor a baiting thread , I am just generally curious as to why people think he is a great housemate ? people say Charlotte, Keiran , Tom etc are essentially boring and want them out, but never mention Raph as equally boring, what has he actually done that stands out He is a nice guy, but surely his popularity must be solely because he is a TIBB member, if he was not , I am sure he would be named as one of the ones that should go all the time ,are people worried if they are not supporting him that it might have an impact on TIBB if he ever comes back? I am sure he is not that petty as to dislike people who supported others, maybe some think it will be like talking to a celeb if he comes back and they chat to him , I don't know, as I said nice enough guy,but not really very exciting or dynamic to watch ?

[Nicky91]

yes i agree, i also can't say anything bad about him, cause he's my friend on here, but he isn't involved in many arguments, i was happy this week about Charlotte opening up, this week twice against Chanelle (but they talked it out and i want them to become friends) and Sue, which she was right on a few points


so yeah i want Raph to have some good arguments to impress us as a housemate, cause he's a bit boring

[Northern Monkey]

He's been very quiet recently.Think I preferred him when he was running round bitching.Atleast we could imagine he had some sort of gameplan.

He just doesn't seem to be doing anything of interest or have I missed it ?

[Littlegreen]

We haven't seen much of anybody this week apart from a select handful, because it's been a Sue/Simone narrative.

(The Smellie showmance is a daily bore.)

He's missing Joe

He hasnt tbh Kazanne. I am sure he is a nice guy but i dont see much of a character there at all.

[joeysteele]

He's my kind of housemate, he has done a lot and not in any malicious way either.
He does the tasks,is there at all Parties.
Not the noisiest housemate,nor the quietest.

When we get the chats with others they are more interesting as he doesn't engage in the tedious sex talk.
He is no way interested in any showmance storyline,which is another plus.

For me there is not much to dislike and far more to like.
I guess looking for faults where there are none,is a good hobby for some.

He is as many know already on here a decent nice guy.
As a housemate that is how he has come across in my view all through.
When did being decent and nice,become a crime?
That requires negativity to be thrown at such people just over n a pulling down agenda of some.

[chuff me dizzy]

100% Bore and I agree Kazanne if he wasn't a member on here he wouldn't be liked, he would be called the house bore,as you say he's done NOTHING ....I watched him last night in the Hunt and he's is so pathetic ,his stupid face once again like he's on a firing squad line up and one hand over one eye ,like a child does hoping you don't see them ....He truly is a waste of an hm8 ,but with some will be fawned over and treat as a celeb on here if he comes back

The show is nearly over, whats he done for the rest of the time ?

[Withano]

I think hes been a good addition to the house, but I've always been a fan of diversity. The rest of the house come across, for the most part, as idiots and Raph does not. The c5 era loves a good z-lister so its good to see someone like Raph. Charlottes been my favourite clique member most the way through it for a similar reason.
I think he comes across loyal, and a hell of a lot more genuine than the majority of them, its cool that hes not relying on dramatics, arguments, or showmances, and he has great taste in friends, because lets be real - the exiles are just better people. He cares about the show and his place in it.
(I'm not going to but) if I, or actually, all of TiBB, created lists as to why we dislike the housemates, I'd imagine his list would be the shortest. Aside from his VT, which was genuinely terrible, he hasnt really stepped a foot out of line.
Most of his hate comes from the members who regularly go against popular opinion, and his hate is a lot heavier on tibb than it is any other social platform, which speaks volumes...

Joey I didn't say being nice was a crime,hell I wanted Sam to win and he was 'nice' and he was slated on here, I am just asking what he has done that separates him out from the others ? Is he a fave because he is a TIBB member,or is he a fave because he is a great housemate ? and if the answer is the latter then you must include Keiran , Charlotte and Tom as he is about on a par with them as a housemate.I wasn't having a go at him at all.

[Beso]

One of the most boring and non descript housemates since gos.

On several occasions we've seen him stand there while someones attacked one of his mates in there, and not once has he defended them

I don't see much hate of him on here.

[Vanessa]

I think Raph is doing very well in there. He's making friends and he's being himself. So what if he's a game player? It's a game show, so they're all game players really.
From what I head the general public has a good impression of him. They se him as a genuine guy. This is the only place I've seen where some are trying to bring him down with any means possible and that is sad.

Yeh, compare that with close to zero on other sites... significantly more on here than everywhere else.. think theres a touch of the green-eyed monster tbh

No offence, but Charlotte is the boring one. Raph has done plenty so far. I don't want him to have arguments.

He is doing well, but I remember supporting Sam on here and he was like Raph in certain ways but he got slated,people get too defensive all the time ,it was a question and a valid one.Imo Raph is on a par with keiran,Charlotte and Tom as a housemate so why are they slated and he is not? I like all those btw including Raph.

Name what he's done please that makes him stand out (Apart from asking Kieron to put a can of beer back that doesn't count as he never asked Tom the house firecracker the same thing ,as Tom would have gone for him )

I feel like youre judging them by levels of airtime, and thats not really how people watch the show? All five of their personalities are starkly different to one another. I liked Sam, he was a nice lad, I dont like Tom, he is a prick - the only thing thats similar was the proportion of airtime they had so its an odd parallel to make imo.

I dunno, its my leading theory as to why theres more hate on tibb than the rest of social media combined. But it is just a theory.
