Now it's official, because the fight for victory in the Promi Big Brother house is over for Rafi Rachek. Whether he was able to collect sympathy points during his stay is questionable. Likewise, it remains to be seen how he will react when he - with a little distance - looks at the scenes of the past days.
However, it is clear that the ex-"Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise" participant has not managed to collect enough viewer votes for himself. Rafi's exit is therefore now "Exit No. 4". Previously, Daniel (voluntarily due to health problems), Heike and Mimi (the latter also voluntarily) left.
The first nomination 2021
On Saturday evening it got serious. Because: the first nomination of the residents of the PBB container or the "space station" was pending. The viewers were thus relieved of part of the decision. Because: five residents were allowed to determine who they put on the "hit list". The task of Daniela Büchner, Melanie Müller, Ina Aogo, Paco Steinbeck and Uwe Abel was now to name two names each that would be up for selection.
In the end, it was especially close between Ina and Rafi. Because: both were nominated a total of three times. Now the audience was allowed to decide between the nominees - even between those who had only been nominated once.
In this context, Rafi Rachek did not manage to collect enough votes. He therefore had to set sail on Saturday evening and leave the "space capsule".
Rafi devastated
Whoever thought that Rafi would show one of his famous freak-outs and really lash out against Melanie once again, was quickly proven wrong. Instead, the ex-"Bachelorette" contestant was very meek and began to shed bitter tears. Perhaps also because he now realized that he had shot himself out with his action of a few days ago? Who knows?
With the announcement of his departure, however, the situation among the candidates seemed to calm down a bit more. Many of his fellow contestants bid Rafi farewell with words of encouragement - perhaps because they secretly hoped that a little more calm would now return?
How does the net community react to Rafi Rachek's expulsion?
Currently, the comments on Rafi's expulsion on Saturday go in several directions. Many viewers declare that the exit was the only right thing to do and that Rachek deserved to go.
Others are more ambivalent - among other things, because they fear that PBB could now become a lot more boring. Some of the Rafi fanbase, however, cannot understand the criticism of their favorite and instead focus on other disputes that are brewing in the container or have already begun in recent days. Among other things, Melanie Müller, who recently got into a fight with farmer Uwe ("Bauer sucht Frau") over some toast, seems to be a potential source of conflict.
Viewers will most likely see Rafi again as part of the reunion show. Let's see what he says then about his behavior and whether he might regret messing with TV favorites like Jörg Draeger.
Sam talks about Rafi's look
In the meantime, Rafi's sweetheart Sam has also spoken out again. The reason: he wants to tell people that Rafi suffers from a "disability" at the eyes, which leads to the fact that his gaze seems very rigid from time to time.
He is bothered by the fact that people keep talking about a "psycho look" in this context. In fact, he had tried again and again in the past to convince his sweetheart that it would be best to deal with the problem transparently and to tell the fans openly why his eyes would sometimes appear so fixed.
Rafi had always been ashamed of it in the past and had been too proud. Maybe with this new background knowledge the waves within the PBB fan community will smooth out again?
That's how things are going in Switzerland with "marriage for all".
