1. Who in the house did you have the most trouble figuring out, whether it be because you knew too little or they were giving too much?
2. How did you and Tom sort through your differences and become good friends near the end? Because I remember in the early weeks the two of you had clashed quite a bit.
3. Sum each of your best friends in one word (Chanelle, Deborah, Hannah, Imran, Isabelle, Sukhvinder; at least i think that would be it).
4. What's the atmosphere like in live evictions/finals? Because you guys kinda handle it pretty well. And how were you able to cope with nerve-fueling things like that?
5. Do you prefer BB18 or BB9 as your fav series?
6. What was your favorite day in the house and what was your least favorite day?
7. Who do you prefer? Geeza Joe or Ashleigh Coyle?

Ooh hello questions!!

1) Charlotte - because I really thought she was a lovely girl the whole time I lived with her.
2) I strategically decided that I needed to patch up my relationship with Tom, so said I found him the most attractive male. Played on that a bit and got closer to him, he likes a good compliment. And once through that the barriers came down, we actually got really tight. And obviously bonded about both being part Welsh. Lotan leaving also helped as he branched out more after.
3) Chanelle - Bed Buddy!
Deborah - Mom
Hannah - Miss Nigeria UK
Imran - Chill
Sukhvinder - Ultimate QUEEN
Isabelle - nice
4) OMG its the worst thing ever. Especially with the crowd noises too. Every one is always so stressed out all day long and the crowd noises make it 100x worse. Me and Charlotte had anxiety literally every single eviction night and its the only time where you are reminded that you are on a TV show.
5) BB18 for life now, love my diverse cast
6) Favourite day - my bday/ Least favorite - the day where Thorn cottage was closed.
7) Joe, as he was part of the BB18 family

I actually liked Kayleigh too though. She seemed really honest and she was very entertaining and quite funny to watch imo, although from what you've said it sounds like she was a bit self-absorbed and only had interest in the fame side of things for her own benefit.

He threatened to physically and mentally destroy a woman after days of already making fun of her appearance and personalilty, what is there to feel bad about? One of the most deserving ejectees.

your point is?
It's not a fact Lotan is nice just because a housemate who got to know him said he was. It's an opinion just like Lotan haters disagree because they saw what he did/said because it's their opinion.

Raph do you agree with my summary of if your season was in the BBUS format?

wait you suddenly taking the word of someone you spent all summer bitching about as gospel because it suits your agenda

[andybigbro]

Raph I have a question.

How long before the series started did you know you were a housemate?

And she did the show to challenge herself in a psychological situation where she 'wasn't in control', and she slayed it, very proud of her! Every time I was sad she was the first to be there to comfort me, really nice woman.

YASSSSSSS BECKY

Can you explain the audition process in full detail please?

[Littlegreen]

Lotan's treatment of Isabelle was awful to watch, but the thing that really made me hate the guy was when he looked down his nose at Hannah and called her disgusting.

Raph, did Andrew's obvious attraction to you in the house feel as awkward in person as it was for us watching?

[Epic.]

Yeah Lotan was gross lol. I'm quite impartial to "Persecuted for being a MALE."

I clocked this when Deborah told Hannah she had made it further than "the Nigerian girl from a few series ago"

Did the second chancers always know they would enter the house anyway?

Who did the other housemates audition with that were split up? (Such as you auditioned with your mom)

1) Chanelle got a few warnings. Joe got warnings, Lotan got warnings. Quite a few really. I even got told off once for making a 'Wales' tshirt out of Deborah's eyeliner

2) No they thought they were no longer going into the season. But I remember Simone saying she was skeptical because she was allowed to keep her BB suitcase after launch which made her think maybe she'd have a chance to go back in.

3) Sam with his dad, Arthur with his godfather, Sue with her daughter, Isabelle with her friend Kate, Ellie with Hayley from Ibiza Weekender, Joe with his girlfriend. Some people also didn't have pairs to begin with as they were recruited later on in the audition process.

No not really. BBCAN got a lot of mentions from me, BBUS not really. But Paulie has been so nice and supportive since I came out of the house, a true gent.

Are you finding yourself booked to do lots of exciting things with other ex HM's in the coming months ? Or are you gonna have some 'you' time ?

Aw thank you so much pal

Yeah quite a few things here and there. Chanelle is definitely coming to Switzerland with me and i'm in touch with most of my housemates really. But also yeah not doing all the 'promo' and that sort of stuff cause for me it was always just about doing Big Brother, versus being on TV!
