Paul Raffi Abrahamian is an American reality television personality and clothing designer, best known for their[1] appearances in the United States reality television show Big Brother and related spin-offs. They also appeared on the third season of House of Villains.[2]

Early life and education

Abrahamian was born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in the Tarzana neighborhood.[3] They are of Armenian and Russian descent.[4] Abrahamian attended Pepperdine University and received a degree in philosophy.[5]

Big Brother

Abrahamian was first introduced as a new HouseGuest on Big Brother 18 on June 19, 2016.[6][7] Throughout the season, Abrahamian was nominated for eviction six times. However, on three of those occasions they were removed from the block via the Power of Veto, which they won three times. They also won Head of Household three times during the season, including the final HoH when they chose to take Nicole Franzel to the finale.[8][9] Franzel was ultimately voted as the winner of the season due to her social game and the jury's disaproval of Abrahamian's abrasive personality, with Abrahamian as the runner-up.[10]

On June 28, 2017, Abrahamian returned to Big Brother in Big Brother 19 as a swap-in contestant on the first day, resulting from a temptation accepted by HouseGuest Kevin Schlehuber.[11] Abrahamian's return to the game was met with both positive and negative reviews from critics.[12][13] Throughout the season, Abrahamian was only nominated for eviction once, which was immediately canceled via the "Pendant of Protection" power he received upon entry to the house.[14] During the season, they won the title of Head of Household three times and were awarded the Power of Veto five times. They also won the first round of the final Head of Household competition, but lost to Josh Martinez in the final round.[15][16] Once again in the final two, the jury ultimately selected Martinez as the winner over Abrahamian, due to Abrahamian's poor social game and jury management, as well as his and his alliance's poor treatment of players Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf.[17][18]

On February 7, 2018, Abrahamian appeared in the series premiere of the Big Brother spin-off Celebrity Big Brother for a special appearance during the first Head of Household competition.[19][20] On June 27, 2018, Abrahamian appeared in the audience for the premiere episode of Big Brother 20 as a "nod to the show's past".[21][22] They later appeared on Off the Block with Ross and Marissa, a Big Brother talk and aftershow, on August 24, 2018.[23] Abrahamian appeared in the thirty-third episode of Big Brother 20 to celebrate the engagement of Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo.[24]

Abrahamian is the first HouseGuest to reach the final two of Big Brother without winning twice.[25]

Outside of Big Brother

On October 25, 2016, Abrahamian appeared on the CBS show The Bold and the Beautiful.[26] On July 9, 2017, Abrahamian teamed up with former Big Brother contestant Da'Vonne Rogers in the series premiere of the CBS game show Candy Crush as part of a special premiere event featuring past players of Big Brother and Survivor.[27][28]
