Come on man, the boy is a pretty hopeless HM. He's about on a par with those rubbish sisters

To be expected really since he's been an established member since 2009

So he's a member? big deal? Does that mean people "must" give him silly praise when it's clearly unwarranted?

Yes. I can't imagine the 100% adulation I'd get if I were in there.

No one's asking you to do that, feel free to criticise him as a housemate and/or praise the others.

I wouldn't just write it off as a 'TiBB Thing' though because he's gaining a lot of traction elsewhere.

"he's gaining a lot of traction elsewhere." No doubt from the LGBT community? Again, ridiculous.

What does it matter if it is LGBT? Are they not allowed to have favourites?

TiBB favourite, Digital Spy favourite, currently storming the Tellymix eviction poll, and now the support seems to have spread to Twitter and Facebook. It's not just a TiBB thing now. A week ago, yeah. But not now.

Friends are supposed to be honest with each other. If one of your friends went on x factor and butchered a song, would you lie to yourself and to them by telling them how great they were? or be honest with them and tell them they sucked, and singing simply ain't for them. He seems a decent enough lad but he's an extremely uninteresting HM. He'd have been much better off on the US/CAN version..

If "being a good housemate" were as clearcut and easily definable as "having a good voice on the X Factor" you'd have a point but the fact is Big Brother is open to all sorts of interpretation and he's coming across as a relatively nice guy with a touch of popularity. Why is this surprising to you? lol

I like him. He's a nice guy. Being nice in BB is a sin nowadays though!

Doubt he would really be championed by many LGBT people anyway, he's been pretty mellow in the house, hes mentioned he is gay and had a few conversations about it but I wouldn't really say he is there to represent the LGBT community he's more there to do with the fact he loves the show, don't think he's really assed about a certain section of the audience liking him otherwise he wouldn't have said the Trump thing to get in.

I'm a loyal friend and I'll support him regardless, but he is popular regardless of TiBB, you can look on other websites and he's the favotire on there also. yes he is easily leading these polls and moreso than other websites, but he is also leading on almost all other websites, and its because hes genuinely a nice person. He is one of the only few people that actually kept in touch with me by text/skype/FB/other social media, and he genuinely does care about people.

Also The X Factor has alot of different variables than just one good or bad performance in itself, so a show like Big Brother will interpreted in alot more different ways as people like different personalities, we're not all a hive and that goes for straight or LGBT.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all he's been great since day 3 onwards.

I must confess though the first few days some of the support here was cringe worthy, if you dared even criticise Raph you faced a barrage of 'you don't know him like me' or being called jealous, that has settled down though.

Raph popular is growing at an alarming rate. He's topping all the who to save polls and his winning odds are also climbing fast. He's not just popular in here, but also DS, Facebook and Twitter. Even I can't believe how popular he is. I'm shocked! But he is a nice guy and he is extremely likable. I think the public love an underdog.

It's amazing! I knew he would do well, but this? I can't believe it

I don't think I've spoken to Raph before he entered, though I did see his posts.
Was his launch night was good? No, the VT was terrible and didn't give a good impression. Is he the best housemate ever to enter BB? No, and he should definitely start doing more. Is he a good person and the nicest in that group? so far, yes, he is. Him being a TiBB member is another good reason to support him, and there's nothing wrong about that - we are proud that "one of us" is there and we support a dear friend of this forum - and he's doing nothing wrong in the house, so I don't see why we shouldn't.

There is no relationship between popularity on this forum and a successful result. I wouldn't associate any bias as an unfair advantage. This forum is littered with the debris of a hundred failed popularity polls
