He's not actually friends with Chanelle. He is a BB expert and knows the best way is to latch onto the 'outsider' group and not be part of the 'in crowd'.
In a different BB, Chanelle could easily be part of an in crowd. Raph wouldn't have a special friendship with her then. We all have seen him complain when people (eg Lotan) have spoken crudely about sex, or used 'derogatory' terms.
Chanelle is worse than all of them for that! Yet she is Raph's 'BFF'??
Nah mate i aint buying it. Raph and Chanelle are using each other tactically in the same way, for the same reasons.

Not only latch on...he basically created them. He was very clever going to the diary room like 3 days in and going on about the 'popular' clique and labelling his group the outsiders. As he knows that the outsiders were a very popular clique themselves and the 'populars' tend to not go down too well with the audience in any year. Very smart, and definitely thinking ahead. He then spent weeks enforcing the separate cliques by running between groups winding the sisters up...which also in turn took attention off himself as they were (Hannah especially) exploding and drawing it all onto themselves.
I don't believe this 'friends for life' thing that most of the forum believes about Chanelle and Raph. Not for a second.
I went through a phase where I thought he was just a bit of a drip, but now I do think its gameplaying. And honestly, I like him now that I see his manipulation clearly. I would ****ing love it if he voted for Chanelle tonight
