After a week as Head of Household which saw him make best friend turned house enemy Mitch the first member of this season's Jury, Raul is hot on his tail, sent packing in a vote of 6-1 out of the BBCAN Grand to become the second member of the Jury.

We speak to Raul all about his game, alliances and more following his eviction.
Looking back at your time in the house, where do you think your game went wrong?
Maybe showing how probably strong I could be with the Third Wheel Alliance, how strong we were and how we were so open about it, and how we were saying that we have this great bond, and people getting scared of that. I think that's where it started going wrong in the game.
If Loveita had returned to the house instead of Kelsey, how differently do you think you would have played your game?
I actually believe my game would have been way better and I'd probably still be in the house if she were the one returning. Even though her and Kelsey became really good friends, her strategy was to come to the house and still work with us and Mitch. By Mitch being there he would have stayed longer, so I believe it would have been pretty good, actually.
How does it feel to be joining Mitch in Jury immediately after the week you sent him there?
(laughs) I'm actually excited to see him. He's gonna be for sure, 'I told you so', and blah blah blah, but I cannot wait to see my best friend and I know we're gonna have a lot of fun in Jury.
Do you regret your decision in sending Mitch to Jury?
Oh no I don't at all. I think it was just perfect and I wanted the fans to get excited and have so much fun watching the show. I hope I gave them that.
Who do you hope to see evicted next from the house and why?
I'm hoping Maddy to get out, the girl needs to get OUT just because she got me out. An eye for an eye you know? Come to Jury, girl! (laughs)
Who do you think at this point is going to make it to the final three?
Right now I'm betting on Jared and Kelsey. Maybe they'll take... I'm hoping they'll take Nikki or Tim because they're perfect pawns to go against in the final three.
What do you think of the international houseguests twists this year? Could either Nikki or Tim win?
I actually feel awesome, I feel great to have international gamers and it's amazing that we are the first Big Brother to use that and to have these awesome people in the house. I feel like Tim for sure will go far in this game and he could probably win this game, because he's really good at telling people what they wanna hear. He gets them on the good side all the time.
When placing your vote for a winner, what will you be basing your decision on?
I think I'll be basing my decision on gaming strategies that they used and how they played the game, and how real they were to themselves.
Who will you be keeping in touch with once the game is over?
Oh for sure Jared and Kelsey and Tim. The three of them, I had so much fun with them, especially the Third Wheel Alliance, it was such a big deal for us. Tim, he's hilarious and funny and I think we'll become better friends outside this house.
What about Mitch?
Oh yeah... (laughs) Oh and Mitch! Mitch Muffin for sure as well! (laughs)
