In BB8, Raven began to realize his potential as a player, but also proved once again his weakness of creating arguments and drama. Working with Violet early on, he helped her to run the game pre-jury, grabbing Mirdo as a pocket to assist their alliance and being in the Azalea alliance with her. His ability to predict Violet’s moves also allowed him to grab the Backdoor Blockade while she won HOH on Week 3. After Violet was blindsided and Mirdo turned against him, Raven was suddenly in a precarious spot in the game, but he managed to use a vicious argument and elaborate lie to convince Mirdo to rejoin his side. He regained the numbers after Mae was expelled, since he had pocketed Lily and pocketed Alfze through his connection to Mirdo and the Birds and Swede alliance. Though Raven was the primary target of the La Revolución alliance, he managed to win the Power of Veto Week 6. On Week 7, with Flour as HOH and Mirdo saving himself with the POV, it seemed that Raven’s run had come to an end, but he managed to get Brave to flip their vote, securing the numbers to stay another week. However, after Flour and Lorde got Mirdo to confront Raven about his actions on Week 4, Raven launched into another vicious argument with Mirdo, leading to Mirdo voting against him. Due to this interpersonal conflict, Raven quit the game just hours before he would have been evicted.
