Default i'm sorry... i just don't get raph's popularity
i am sorry to all the people who love him on here, but I just can't warm to him.

it comes between the awkward fake laugh, the annoying diary room entries and the whispering. oh, and he's simply pretty boring

does anyone get where i'm coming from? i just feel perplexed

He's a nice genuine guy. Also quite fun when we get to see him. I like him a lot!

it also annoyed me when he said how sad he found the divide, when he was the one who constantly reinforced it to the sisters and public

Master game player, create the divide and then be the hero by uniting them. Genius.

The constant talk about sex is getting boring for me. I like that Raph doesn't do that.

That's fair. I can get why his awkwardness isn't 100% endearing. I'd be lying if I said I'd never had a problem with him lol but he's a nice guy and I'd rather nice guys won.

Tbf Raph is awkward on here, nice but awkward.

And just because he isn't doing all of the TOWIE routines doesn't make him boring imo.

Ch5 always do this type of thing to the Raph's of the show.

I note that the fandom for him has fallen off a cliff on Tibb as the initial "omg he is on tib and he is gay" thing (not that a being gay or on tibb is bad) has worn off and people get to see the real him (pretty dull, in awe of a strong women, no real interest in talking to anyone else). His nervous laugh and non-Britishness leave many feeling unrelatable to him.

I am sure he is a nice guy but he is hardly Brian Dowling or Cameron Stout.

I like him, because he's being himself. He's playing the game, but at the same time he's a nice guy and also he's having fun in there. Plus I find him adorable. The way he goes all shy when sex is mentioned is endearing to me.

A lot of his popularity is due to him being a member in here. It's natural and expected for his forum friends to support him.
On top of this, I think he is doing a great job, is a genuinely nice guy, and he's living his dream being on BB and it's really refreshing seeing someone normal on the show.

I wish him all the best, and I'll continue to support him. I hope he wins. I've put a bet on and I'd like to win
