Oh well, it will work on his favor. It's vote to evict.

[Withano]

Ive actually noticed that hes more unpopular here than anywhere else

[Gstar]

I think I would like him the same

As in the amount of hate he gets, he probably does have the largest fanbase here too tbf

I think this is likely as he is shoved in peoples faces on here a lot. he is barely spoken about elsewhere

Well he is popular among housemates, people on BOTS, Facebook, DigitalSpy, so I'd argue yes

Not to mention he has the support of a lot of former popular HGs

i would like raph the same even if he wasnt a member

Same since I didn't know him beforehand. Yeah I'd seen his posts, but we never spoke, so I didn't have a reason to be biased. And oh yeah, i forgot about Nicola supporting him, and I'm sure Helen does/did too. No one else comes to mind but he's definitely popular among various groups

[Vicky.]

He would be the 'nice but boring' one. Who is barely spoken about, but popular with the BOTS crowd as he is a nice person albeit a bit dull. and would probably win due to everyone else being a dickhead and him being normal. Which I still think will happen

Though he would like that given most of his faves in BBUK over the years have been utter bores too

Raph is clearly playing the Andy BB17, Ben BB11 role.

And even though he won't like me for saying this, a bit of Siavash BB10 aswell and they all had big Internet fanbases.

No and obviously no to the elephant

[Jordan.]

He's the Charlotte of the exile crew so he'd probably just be ignored

[thesheriff443]

Raph is a nice lad,its hard not to bitch on bb, as the show is based on talking to nice to someone's face and then nominating them in the diary room.

For me, on here members dig at housemates because they don't like the member who supports them and vice versa.

If there where stronger character's raph would be lost in there.

[pontyboi]

I actually like Raph and he's definitley not my type of housemate!

It's not because he's a member of this forum but I just see proper potential in him as a housemate.....though his American throwing his arms around whilst talking does piss me off.

I loved Siavash...........for that Barrel/Chicken costume they made him wear if nothing else.

[reece(:]

No

But what I think is good is that, because we know him as a member, we can understand his actions a bit more than the GP

[vesavius]

The short answer is, no, he wouldn't. Of course not. That's clearly obvious.

The longer answer is that he does nothing in there except spread hate and tension between the factions. He is the lowest type of game player. Half fence sitter, half snake. There would be very little to be liked by him by anyone, even here, if he wasn't known and adopted as 'our boy'.

To pretend anything else would be disingenuous.

Wassup Biggie.

No, the two were nothing alike. Siavash was instantly likable.

That's because people are resentful. Yeah he's not the most thrilling housemate but he's defenitley caused a lot of drama and that's what we all tune in for.

People may state that he's quiet but he's far from that....this boy is stirring **** up.

Plenty stir it up, and are hated. That's never been a reason to be liked here.

He is liked because he is seen as nice but boring. An alternative option to the loud ones that inevitably offend early on. A neutral when everyone is vying for attention. Even someone that is seen as 'intellectual', even though he has displayed zero actual intelligence, that folks can feel superior about supporting.

Otherwise he would be seen as just boring.

So you've completely missed him playing his game listening in on conversations and then telling his friends what's been said and then going on to say "no....please don't go confront them" lol.....he is a proper underdog and this is the first year ive supported a game player and it's not because he's a fellow member but because I'm impressed by his strategy

[Epic.]

The reason I still think he'd be liked is that he's leading an unpopular crew within the house, which include Chanelle, Hannah, Deborah and Isabelle, all of which are quite liked here for the most part. So I imagine their leader would still be fairly appreciated.

No, I have not missed him playing his game. Ofc not. But, oh please... His token resistance before spilling his guts didn't fool anyone with a clear eye on him.

I don't believe you, sorry.

It worked though didn't it....it caused uproar in the house. Can't deny he's very intelligent when it comes to the game....BUT he's also showed his true self when getting upset with certain housemates.

I think Raph may be a strange herb.
