He was lighting Deborah's fire tonight...stirring it. That's not the vocal I was hoping for.

He was hoping for Deborah to go off on one like Hannah did on Lotan and for her to look the bad guy while he just sits there acting all innocent getting rid of his competition. Shame for him it isn't working

[BBDodge]

He's doing himself no favours hanging around with Chanelle and sniggering at her threats and abusive comments.

There are spare beds available - grab one before the newbies come in.

[azi]

He's a snake.

[vesavius]

Rahp is awful. People here are just making excuses for him because they know him... Or know someone that spoke to him on the forum, or whatever...

He is a fence sitting, tactical playing bore.

There is a real lack of honesty here regarding Raph in this forum.

[Mystic Mock]

Tom outing his original gameplan on the first night, and BB's lack of footage have made it hard for Raph to try and do anything big for the public.

His the fan favourite basically because most of the others are awful, and that he's a nice, intelligent guy.

Did you think the same of Ellie who carried on the discussion which led to the bust up between Chanelle and Kayleigh?

[JTM45]

Saying we're biased in Raph's favour on this forum is all well and good but i'm not quite sure how the Raph detractors will explain why he's almost as popular outside this Forum with people who have no bias towards him.

If anything people who are seen as being American (which, due to his accent, people will consider Raph first and foremost) generally have a disadvantage in BB UK but despite this Raph is going back and forth with the bookies between 1st and 2nd place overall winner and he's been solidly at the top of most BB Forums' Polls for some time now.

Guess it's just a classic case of ''Haters gonna hate while Raph's gonna win!''

Exactly, but apparently Ellie can do no wrong

If he knows the show and is a great game player i wonder how receiving the killer nom has affected any plans.? He no longer has to fear HMs nominating him.

Exactly.
Anyway I am certainly enjoying seeing Raph on BB.
There is far more that's credible to moan at and criticise the others in there for, than there'll likely ever be concerning Raph.

I need to get this **** clear in my mind.

Is Raph up every week or was this 'Killer Nom' merely Joe getting to choose someone to go straight up from his single nom last week ?

Surely if he was automatically up for eviction every week then Nicola wouldn't have been allowed to give him immunity last week ?

I haven't actually heard BB once say that Raph will be up automatically every week.

he is not up every week, that was an automatic up for eviction last week, this coming week he is immune from eviction

Thanks!

That's what i thought was happening but then i'd see people posting (as in 'Mick's' post above mine) that it was every week.

That would have been awful.............in a Jale kinda' way!

[Mick]

Sorry guys my bad i thought it was a continuous thing.

[chuff me dizzy]

What a little sneak he is !! slithered into Deborah to grass on Rebecca

If he wasn't on here people would slate him for being boring,and a snake in the grass ,how fickle ?

[sampvt]

I am tickled pink that people aer now understanding who he is. His game plan was to get into the house and thats about where it ended. He is fooked now after being surrounded by z isters and better game players. If he wants to play a game, he needs to take pointers from Lotan and the angry trout lipped poundland surgical disaster who goes off when she feels like it.

Raph has no clue, he is gossiping and practicing being a friend to all in the house and an animated wanker in the DR. Under normal circumstances he would be slated to death, but his geeky popularity with forums and the gay votes as he is the only one in there, he will go far. He might even win but that does not detract from the fact that he is an annoying little 2 faced ****.

I don't really care if he is playing a game or not, the other housemates are so completely over the top that its just not entertaining or even interesting to watch. So while Raph is playing it low key perhaps, it really only seems that way because the others are so OTT.

Labelling him as boring or whatever is just so inappropriate in the face of the others contrived, fake drama.

No one in there is more contrived than Raph the backstabber

That's not how it seems to me. I think the whole lot of them are dire, but at least raph doesnt make me want to switch off my TV, whereas the others most certainly do

I think people on here are looking at him through rose tinted glasses, if he wasn't a member of TIBB ,things would be a lot different

Agree this.
