No one is going to insult him I'm sure...
What pisses me off is so many people on here saying he is a nice guy...that doesn't mean he IS..respect other people's opinions.Raph has been a housemate...he isn't a nasty guy but some have seen someone who in their opinion hasn't been authentic. To me he has played a fake personae and I don't respect that.
I will treat him as any other forum member on here when he comes back...I will treat him no different unlike some.

[AnnieK]

Great idea Ammi and a real nice touch for Raph to recognise his achievement of getting in the house

[Vanessa]

Raph has done this forum very proud. And we could have the first tibb member as winner. That's do exciting!

This is in no way a dig so please dont take it as anything other than a genuine question.

Have you had much / any interaction with Raph on here?

I havent had much granted but from the little I have his persona in the house is not all that different than his presence on here

[Braden]

He should have an award that's of his BB promo pic.

He has done the forum proud, this is a great idea.
I hope it happens.

Wonderful to see you back Ammi,you are a massive miss.

[TaylorCallum]

The winner of Big Brother deserves special treatment on a Big Brother forum so let's hope so .

I think a large proportion of his hate on this site stems from wind-up merchants and jealousy.

I don't get why anyone would say that people on here are jealous of Raph. Why would anyone be jealous of him

Yep, in my experiences with him on here I've found him to be pretty much exactly how he's been in the house, so if he's fake he's fake all his time in the house and all the time he spends posting on TiBB, that seems like a lot of hard work to me

He's a lovely guy.

Living out the sites most common dream, and being the first to do it. Obviously that doesn't go for everyone. Some people here couldnt think of anything worse!

I will be honest with you..I tend to respond to the comments rather than who is posting. I really don't take your comments as a dig at all.
However I have over the years been more aware of forum members that often see the same perspective as I do. Also I often seem drawn to straight to the point comments that make me chuckle wether or not I agree with them.
I recall seeing Raph on here a lot...but cannot say that his comments have had any impact on me.
One thing I can say is I have missed Livia this year...hope she's ok. She has to be one of the best one liners ever..and great dry humour.

She was online today I think but not in the BB section

How would you possibly know by someone's participation on a forum if they are being fake or not?
Watching someone for weeks, interacting with people, watching their responses and listening to their views and comments exposes their character. Some will see it as fake and others will see it as genuine...

Thanks Niamh..

[Lily.Evans.XO]

I feel like he probably won't come back to be honest. I think he'll make post thanking everyone for their support but say that he'll be staying off Tibb, at least until all the hype dies down. Especially if he wins as then dynamics could change and interactions with people won't be the same as the were. I can't say as I don't know him personally and I've never spoken to him on here, it's just a hunch I have. Could be completely wrong.

I Don't I'm just saying that's how he comes across on the forum for all the years he's posted here, like how he comes across on BB

[RichardG]

there is so much hatred on this forum. it's very strange and unusual behaviour, not at all normal.

[Benjamin]

Knowing Raph, he won't care what some people on a forum think of him (no offence to forum users). I also doubt he'll be on here much after BB, he wasn't on much before and now he'll have even less time to frequent here.

Yeah this, he was always busy and posted the most during BBCAN but that was it.

It truly is baffling

[mr rochester]

I never read anything horrible about Raph. If people want to be unkind that's up to them. I think he's been wonderful throughout. I truly hope he gets to the final...with Issy.
