Why do you like Sam?

[Raph]

Maybe to answer the question to people who say Sam is boring, name a few reasons why you like Sam. Here's mine;

1. He's Welsh (i'm sorry I can't help it) :tongue:
2. He's funny, I love his jokes.
3. He was a great friend to Callum and didn't get swayed by the rest of the house and stuck by him.

This is why Sam needs to win BB14!

[lovebigbrotheruk]

He's nice.

[Raph]

He's nice.

That's cause he's Welsh :D

[Suze]

I don't.

[lovebigbrotheruk]

That's cause he's Welsh :D

Lol. As far as I'm concerned, that's a con. But I can live with that small unfortunate definity.

[Drew.]

if he wasnt Welsh would you actually like him?

[Benji_]

1. He's been genuine
2. he's probably the only one who isn't playing a game
3. He's loyal

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Because the rest are *****

[Raph]

if he wasnt Welsh would you actually like him?

Less :p

[alex_front2]

Why do I like Sam? I had a massive bet on him from the end of first week when his odds drifted to oblivion.

[Verbal]

Reasons:

He has not resorted to bitching about other HM's
He has made me laugh
I understand and respect his reasons for being in there and how he has dealt with it
He is down to earth and represents the everyday person on the street
He isnt chavy
I think the friendship he struck up with Callum was one of the better parts of the series and possibly the only genuine friendship that has been struck in there
He's Welsh

(posted this earlier in a different thread but it fits here as well)

Sam's a real guy, not some insecure, hungry fame-***** using a phony story to navigate their way through a reality show.

It takes a truly good person to accomplish navigating the house this long without stirring a bunch of **** and I find that incredibly admirable... not boring, not lazy but admirable. It's better than Dexter's anxious insecurity, Charlie's flip-flopping, Gina's phoniness, the twins' incessant need for attention or Sophie's bitchiness.

Sam is more together than pretty much anyone else left in that house could dream of being. I hope the majority of viewers see this and reward someone who is deserving of the money, not necessarily because he put on a show, but because he was a good guy who lasted in the game for a long time.

3. He was a great friend to Callum and didn't get swayed by the rest of the house and stuck by him.
Debatable !

After he said "She [Charlie] backstabbed you" to Callum what happened ?

He's all over Charlie with hugs, hairstroking etc offering his support and sticking up for her.

I thought it was quite 2 faced at the time.

Yet again we see how loyalties are quickly dropped when people are booted out.

I think he's just ACTING like he's all moral but his BEHAVIOUR (e.g. vulgar jokes) tells a slightly different story.

[Josy]

He seems genuine.

He stands by his friends.

He may not have been what some class as an entertaining housemate but I have said this before and still think housemates that are less involved with the others can stand back and watch everything that's going on in there from a fair perspective so they can make decisions based on their own opinions without just copying what other hm's think, like Sam proved when he was discussing Charlie with Gina a week or so ago....

He's one of the only likeable ones out of this years bunch IMO.

He says what he thinks, if he thinks someone has been **** stirring about him then he goes to them and is straight to the point with them.

[Raph]

I also loved when he told Dexter off "You're rude, ungrateful and arrogant, you are" - epic line.

[Kazanne]

Sam is himself,not trying to be anyone else
Sam is honest
Sam is no ass licker
Sams the only one I think to confront Dexter and tell him a few home truths
Sam likes to have fun,make people laugh and is kind
Sam doesn't trust Dexter which makes him sound in my book
Sam is a worthy winner.and more people would have seen that had BB not concentrated so much on the 'love triangle and romance angle,that they forced down our throats every night,he has the best one liners, is witty,and a nice down to earth bloke.

People like Dex are fully entitled to their own opinion about him and don't need to feel guilty about a thing.

Ok Sam quibbled over the exact words but conveniently missed the whole point and just made himself look silly.

He's trying to take the moral highground to appear holier than thou and it's just a joke !

Of course Dexter and others are entitled to an opinion, no one says they aren't?

My opinion is that Sam went straight to Dexter when he though he was telling lies about him and face the problem head on..

I just got the impression from you that if someone is saying things that put you in a bad light, you're within your rights to challenge them over it as if they've done something wrong.

There were no real "lies".
Sam just too stubborn to see thing any other way than his own.

Here's what happened...
Dex said Sam told him not to speak to him.
Sam made a mountain out of a molehill pointing out he said "Don't feel the need to speak to me".

Boils down to the same thing.
i.e. Sam was in grumpy mood questioning his motivation and thinking the worst of Dex.

And worst of all, he never recognized the point Dex made.
He simply took the huff and lost his rag when Dex won the argument.

[Joelle.]

I'm a geordie, Jay from BB12 is a geordie, and I thought he was a dickhead...

And all of those things listed above mean he'd probably be an alright guy to be friends with, but don't make him an entertaining housemate, so he's probably the person least worthy of winning. Everyone else has at least done something, even Sophie.

[Black Dagger]

When the fact nationality is one of the three main reasons you support a housemate, it kind of confirms they have been a bit ****.

There have been load of Mancs over the years, doesn't mean I'll support them because they are in a 10 mile radius. If they are ***********s/bores they can disappear.

[honeydew]

Calling Dexter rude , after his rude comments to females. ...:joker::joker:

[Issac]

Has the best game plan (stealth) hiding from cameras so the public don't know hes actually in the house.
You can't vote to evict someone who's not there, that welsh lad is a smart one!

Yeah like Tim - nice but dim - about as interesting as a one watt bulb , Callum was only his friend cos he was the only one in the house that could bear his weird ramblings about his vendetta against Dexter -believe if Charlie had of been interested - great friend Sam wouldn't have got a look in !

He has brought nothing as an individual to the house except smutty schoolboy jokes ,being very immature for his age - or why would he have been loyal to Callum and his twisted view of other HM's ?

All in all I think he has been total crap - He does not deserve to win at all, in fact i laughed when he said he'd had a tough journey ????? Boy you've had the easiest ride of yer life !!
If i were any of the other HM's i would be sick as a pig if you won :conf:

1. I'm sorry but people voting for that reason is the reason why we get some of the bad winners we get on Reality shows.

2. He can be funny, but just not often enough imo.

3. Again I agree he did well to be the only one to stick by Callum, but he did let Callum sway him on how he should feel about Dexter.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate Sam, I just think that he should not be a contender to win.

[Ramsay]

i'm just waiting for some proper dickhead racist sexist bully welsh guy to go in just to see if raph likes him

[DanaC]

I like him. He seems a good egg to me.

Funny and charming when he has the air time.

easy to say but some people look at it like a sports match.....are we wrong to support England at Wembley? or Twickenham....to tell a nation its wrong to support their fellow countryman is political correctness gone too far

that's all well and good to preach about not supporting a fewllow Irishman or Englishman or whatever.....but the welsh are different.....I know we in England don't understand it, but the welsh are different..its a small compact little nation, theyve only got 10 surnames because they stay at home and love their beloved country and support their fellow countrymen/women......trust me whatever you think about not supporting your fellow nationality is out the window in wales.

[Sandz38]

I don't :)

Sport and **** is different, you are allowed to be patriotic and support your own country and talents.. it's expected.

But **** that if you think I'm going to accept 'he's Welsh' as a valid reason for him being such a worthy housemate, it's terrible that somebodies main reason that they could think of for why they support a house-mate is because they live in the same country.

they relate to him , hes like them hes normal natural down to earth and lives by a decent moral code etc that to some people is what their nationality means its an idenitication. clearly you don't understand so forget about idd

[pcro]

Sure I like Sam. But he would be a dreadful winner of big brother

[HBB1508]

I would find it really funny if BB had swapped back stories as part of their secrets and lies and Sam came out jumped into his white roller and went off back to his lifestyle as a playboy - that would make the series for me!!!

[hannah2013]

Lovely, Down to Earth, Funny and is the only likeable one left in. No matter where he comes he is the winner.

[Livia]

I'm not particularly a Sam fan, but he's the best of the bunch left in there and I kind of hope he wins.
