I do that.

He will be seen as weak and a people pleaser and I want to see him dig a few people out for their faults...but I don't think that will happen.
Raph and Charlotte are my favourites at the moment...Chanelles heart is in the right place but along with the rest of them she's thick and trashy. Lotan is just trying to be Mr Nice guy all of the time and I don't buy it.

Agree with everything in this post but to add about Raph I do think he's using everything he knows about BB in a very clever way (which I love)

loving Raph, he's level headed, cool, calm, intelligent and a damn nice kid

I am pretty sure he told mother and daughter he was gay first night.
He also discussed it when it came out that he was a cheater.

but sometimes you just say gay to make it easier to explain.

Maybe he is gay, and its his choice what he wants to identify as.

but as a forum we are here to comment on the housemates

and he just doesnt seem to know who he is and is hence why he avoids talking about it and being his true self.

As I am not gay myself, I can't really say much about it.
But maybe he just wants to be private about it

What makes you think he doesn't know who he is?

We wanna know his coming out story, how his parents reacted, what type of guys he goes for. Trying to get to know the real Raph not some fake one he's trying to portray

[Shaun]

Well you can wait for his autobiography then.

Dual Citizenship is a misnomer in the sense that countries either restrict additional citizenships (China) or allow them (UK).

There is no arbitrary limit, there are practical limitations to amassing a bunch of different passports (time and money mostly), but if you wanted to invest in a bunch of "citizenship by investment programs" or simply relocate and attempt to qualify for residency and eventually citizenship in countries that also recognise/allow additional passports across the world, to buffer your passport count, you could do that.

"Dual Citizenship" if often refereed to as such because practically speaking most people aren't going to be in a position to acquire more than one additional nationality,but "multiple citizenship" would be a more apt name, as there is no actual numerical restriction.

So the "real Raph" is everything about being gay because there is nothing else to learn about him whatsoever? Ok.

Firstly, Don't come for me. Secondly, I feel like i know much more about all the other housemates than Raph even Joe, Kieran and Charlotte. All i know from him is that he's a gameplayer, a massive BB fan and a cheat. He doesn't seem relatable, tonight I saw a sneaky side to him. He needs to lighten up, have some fun. Just do something

That is what i said. Raph is a gameplayer, fake, sneaky, a cheat, playing on those pity votes. You may not see that cos you have tunnel vision but I judge him as a housemate in the BB house. No preconceived opinions, unlike some

I don't have any either because I don't know him?

So.... try again?

[Marsh.]

Raph: I'm gay.


"But you iz not jumping about screaming, wearing pink or squealing SHOWBIZZZZZ at every little thing. WOT U LYIN 4!!!!"

[whatsmynameagain]

The whole idea that he is not "gay enough" for some is ridiculous. Maybe he isn't defined by his sexuality and is secure enough in himself to not think that his bedroom proclivities define him.
Maybe he wants to show the world that all gay men aren't just crazy, horny, bitchy effeminate caricatures that are so often portrayed on television.
I am not someone who ever really mentions my sexual activity or inclinations...its not for being ashamed or not knowing myself, but for the fact that it really is the least interesting thing about me....

This! There's so much more to Raph than his sexuality. Housemates are underestimating him, but that's a good thing for us fans.

[bots]

My life being straight, i want to tell everyone my story even if no-one is the slightest bit interested in it. Its defined my whole life. Oh wait, it hasn't
