as BB is over, now we can discuss has Raph lived up to the expectations we had for him


well for me personally from the launch show i had him as a winner, so yes i was also happy with him as a runner up




but anyone please did he live up to our expectations or did you not have expectations for Raph

[MB.]

I thought he'd be Welsh

[Cal.]

He was a better housemate than I thought he would be and lasted a lot longer than I thought he would too.

wow so you actually thought him to be out first or second, or third

[Cal.]

I remember predicting he'd be evicted week 3 somewhere.

My first three out predictions were-

1st out - Chanelle
2nd out - Kayleigh
3rd out - Raph

I think.

well Chanelle first out glad it didn't happen and glad that Raph exceeded your expectations either

Did not know him and found him to be a bit creepy and a bit dull, far to fond of sucking up to certain girls

[Vanessa]

He was amazing for me. A great guy and also very funny. So glad he finished as runner up. Very well deserved.

[Amy Jade]

He was better than I expected from his VT. I liked him from here generally so hoped he would do well but I think I predicted midway so he did better than I thought.

He is my favourite male housemate ages too I normally stan girls but Raph was consistently in my top 4 all series from about week 3 onwards.

where is the gemma collins on the phone "NO" gif

[Marsh.]

I didn't watch after the launch night,

[Niamh.]

I thought he did great, he wasn't the most entertaining HM ever but he survived well in there and always seemed grateful for the experience which is great. He came across as a really nice person too. Also, second place is not to be sniffed at

[pontyboi]

No one really lives up to expectations to me Infact it's usually the people I think are going to be boring really out do themselves and become big characters aka Isabelle

Yeah Isabelle was amazing. I so didn't want her going in there originally, i really misjudged her because of her look and the fact that she was going in as Kierons ex

[joeysteele]

Yes in fact for me he exceeded expectations in a very difficult house and him not being strongly argumentative or looking to bore with any showmance tripe.

Competing for airtime when a determined push is made for any showmance storyline is hard.
However I loved his diary room assessments of the house and still recall his singing Happy Birthday in 5 languages.

The sad thing for me and I am not a fan of Nicola McLean at all, however she clearly had a great rapport with Raph when visiting the house,so for me it is sad too much was made on Gemma and then near nothing seen at all as to Raph and Nicola's interaction.

[Littlegreen]

Didn't know of him before BB, so I had no expectations. My support grew from who he was as a housemate.

We tried so hard to get him in the top three. Voted like crazy in the final

I think he certainly lived up to expectations and some.
He can be very proud of himself as i'm sure we are all proud of him.

Me to I judged her solely on her appearance but she went into that house and was an absolute legend taking the house leaders out one by one....it was poetic lol.

Well let's be honest who was he ever going to have a showmance in there with. Please big brother recruit some alpha, fit gay men! I did like Raph but to me he belonged in bb4.

[MB.]

An eight year old Raph would have livened BB4 right up, I agree

[Nicky91]

an 8 year old bb housemate would Always be iconic
