But, no, the two choices are not start an argument and sit there like a wet tearag.

Raph is just coming across as sly and calculating. Even a bit slimy in his effort to fence sit

So you want all the HMs to behave the same way? Why? that's boring.

I do think Raph is playing a game, a clever game and is managing to be a nice person with it. That to me makes an interesting HM to watch. the loud, argumentative for the sake of it, foul mouthed ones who have to have an opinion on everything are the HMs i dislike but each to their own

In fairness, no I didn't say that, I suggested there was a range of ways to handle that and be interesting. Not just sitting there looking all damp getting splinters.

I get that everyone has their own defintion of interesting, but I have always thought that there are two types of gameplayers in that house... Those that play the game WITH the public (Victor) and those that play the public (Aaron). Raph, to me, is looking like the latter.

It could win it for him, it has worked in the past, but it is a sly and slimy way to play the game in my eyes. I honestly haven't found a single thing he has said or done on his own merits interesting.

Well Aaron won and Victor didn't so

I don't mind game players like Aaron, infact i prefer them tbh, I think most non casual fans will see that they're playing a game of sorts and appreciate that as fans of BB. With Raph I think he is playing a game but he's also genuinely that type of person, naturally polite and respectful. You can be and do both, playing a game when you're in a game is not sneaky imo. I don't think he's being fake either, again i think you can play a game by being sensible with stuff but still be who you are

Oh, for sure, like I say, it'll probably serve him well. I tend to think of HMs in terms of how they entertain me though, not just if they win or not, and the sly fence sitter that plays the public has never been a type of HM that I enjoy.

And that's fair enough too, if we all enjoyed the same thing or viewed things the same way it would be boring especially on the forums
