Why do those who dislike Sam insist on trying to bombard the forum with the same bandwagon subject all individually rather than in one thread (ie multiple Vanessa Feltz topics at the mo). They all use the same language, same insults, same buzzwords before Sam's name (ie homewrecker/sympathy/sleazy etc.

Are they that worried that their beloved Dexter might not win that they feel they all need to blanket the forum with their hate for Sam. It's so transparent and frankly desperate. I do wonder how many people on here are the same person due to the amount of parrot-like repetition.

Support the person you like - hate campaigns nearly always backfire by making people more likely to vote for the competition out of spite.

Yeah because Ginxter haven't had repetitive hate threads against them.

Everybody knows the tedious bore will win, so it's definitely not the fact us 'beloved Dexter fans' are worried.

[Withano]

Its nitpicking. There are obvious reasons and a variety of reasons to dislike everybody else. They have to nitpick with Sam, you'll get used to it though.

They will usually call him boring after discussing the highlights show half-devoted to him, which is hilarious.

[Cherie]

Looking down the first page, there are not too many Sam threads, yes two on the Vanessa Feltz thing that could be merged, but sometimes people make threads without checking if one is already in place, or they just like to make their own thread or whatever.

[RichardG]

Many people have all had equal amounts of hate threads too. What about the countless "Gina doesn't shower!" threads we've seen? The "Ginxter are both actors/bullies!" threads? Perhaps all the "Hazel is a homewrecker/slut!" threads? There were some hate threads for Wolfy whilst she was in there too about her confidence(arrogance?)/spitting.

No one is worried about anyone not winning because it's glaringly obvious that Sam is going to win. No one is trying to alter anyone else's opinions either. The forum has been exactly the same since the start of the series.

Good post and a good question,I never get why it is preferred to make threads and posts as to housemates it is claimed are not liked by the poster.

I would rather talk about,in the main, those I like rather than don't like and I certainly would not give any publicity or attention to, by making threads about someone I really didn't like.

I don't hate Sam...I just don't think he should win as he's done very little.
Even he said he spent too much time in bed.
I can't imagine what they are going to show for his best bits.

I think while that point is valid and also brought up in every Sam thread it's also a little unfair - with the boring annual "love triangle" and Hazel/Daley situation going on the other housemates not involved weren't highlighted as much for a large part of the series, I do also think Sam struggles in the loud group arguments as it's hard to hear when there's a lot of noise with hearing aids (not looking for sympathy - just a fact, my dad has this problem in pubs with all the background noise). Also more naturally quiet people are always submissive with so many dominant characters around so only come out of their shells later in the series as the numbers decrease.

In the words of Judie James (an expert on stuff) sam has came into his own this past two weeks, having three run ins with dexter and beating him hands down each time...lol, and before you say blah blah this blah blah that..she is infact a big fan of dexter.

Hate hate hate.

When it appears almost every Sam sympathizer under the sun hasn't got one positive thing to say about any other housemate but quite the opposite.

How very ironic.
Whatever...

Who do you think you're fooling? Are they doing it for the fun of it, then? There have been far more Sam hate threads than any other, and vicious they can be too - which is ironic seeing he is quiet (or a bore to his haters), decent and a sweet boy.

[Slevin]

i think it just as bad sometimes funny as the many suck off threads people make praising the hell out of their favorite for any little thing they do. trying to hype up something like the "eat your breadsticks and jog on" line. it was alright but some act like he seriously owned Sam so well and it was the greatest thing on earth. it was alright and thats fine if you like it but its like when a hometown boxer is throwing punches that just hit gloves or anything the crowd goes crazy for. its ridiculous and funny.

it's as if they've blatantly ignored the countless hate threads for the other housemates over the series.

You keep using the vile word hate when it's just gross dislike of the thought he might actually win.

Some people really don't want Sam to win.
Just like some really don't want Dex to win.
I suggest you get over it.

It's not hate, that's a dirty word YOU'VE chosen.

But generally YES. They're worried Sam might win.
WTF do you expect ?!!

[QUOTE=Jimrod;6304919]It's so transparent and frankly desperate.
Pot kettle black x 1000.

Not sure I agree with desperate though.

Think it's the other way round !

The Dex knockers say it doesn't matter what you say.
But then say you shouldn't be doing it.
I wonder why !
Yeah desperation - you got it.

Just for you I'll stick up a "I don't want Sam to win" post and I hope you enjoy it.

Oh so you don't want Sam to win then ?!!!

We KNOW he's probably won already.
Please don't point to some red herring in advance !

Wrong, personally I think:

Charlie: A nice girl, means well but has some emotional insecurity issues. I'd be happy enough with her winning.

Twins: They are entertaining, again seem nice enough and are quite well rounded (pardon the pun) personalities, sometimes try too hard but again no problem with them or them winning - which might well happen while everyone is distracted with Sam/Dexter.

Gina: I don't particularly like her, partly due to how she behaved with Hazel (not a great fan of Hazel either), partly because of the amount of tasks she is given and something has long seemed fishy with the way she is treated by BB. She is OK most of the time but I don't find her as entertaining as some do.

Dexter: I just don't like, or trust him. Everything he says and does is for control or self promotion, he is a weasel. My favourite moments of the series has been when Sam has called him out on these traits and left him squirming, trying to find a way out. This boosted Sam a lot in my opinion - the quiet guy showed he's not stupid and has a backbone, more than anyone else in there in-fact when it came down to it. Even sticking by Callum when everyone was against him, shows a strong character under the "cheeky chappy" exterior.

Just laugh at them and move on. Those threads are pitiful and desperate.

I dont have to explain myself to you. who are you anyway. Shoo!

[Lex]

Oh!..it's just another one of those "everybody's picking on the Golden-boy" threads! ...How fecking boring!...have you counted all the anti Dexter/Gina threads?????????...I don't think so!

[halfacrown]

It's hard to get worked up about Sam because he's done so little, apart from be rather rude and inappropriate, especially when drunk. He certainly hasn't suffered the irrational hatred that Gina has had.

I can't help feeling that Sam is a bland housemate who has been chosen by Callum fans and those whose real favourite went out earlier, simply because he isn't Dexter or Gina. There is nothing to suggest that Sam is particularly nice or particularly anything else besides.

I don't hate Sam, I just don't want him to win, mostly because he's one of those strange people who wants the limelight (or rather egotistically wants to 'represent' people), but doesn't know what to do with it when he gets it.

[smeagol]

considering sam was missing in action for 2 months awol from bb and is favourite to win and has lately started being a nobhead its not surprising that there is lots of threads.
its only logical .
we could always just have one thread on each housemate but wouldn't that be boring lol
