Well you know that Dexter had a point then. And that it wasnt as it appeared on the HLs.

Mitchell 28-07-2013 12:59 AM

Dexter didn't have a point lol :p

Using someones disability to try and make yourself look good is NOT cool

Vicky. 28-07-2013 01:01 AM

You dont think its patronizing to take advantage of someones disability to lie to them, even if it is to spare their feelings?

Mitchell 28-07-2013 01:03 AM

Its a natural human reaction tbh

Vicky. 28-07-2013 01:03 AM

Also just so that people dont think I am just taking this opinion because Dexter said it

You honestly think I'm doing this just to hate on Dexter?

I'm not, I'm saying my opinion, if Dexter and Callum switched roles in this, I would still support the point that Callum shouldn't bring Sams disability into it to try and make himself look good.

My point is, Don't use someone elses disability for your personal gain, I'm looking at you Pwicey :devil:

I'm sure if Sam felt Callum was patronizing him he would say so, but he isn't he likes him and he feels he is his closest friend in there. As for Callum treating him differently? rubbish, I don't see it. I think Callum genuinely gets on with Sam and sees him as a friend, you can see they actually have things in common.

caffacaf 28-07-2013 04:12 AM

As for Callum and the boos for god sake there was nothing bad there, he either told sam what he genuinely heard or understated it so he wouldn't worry. It doesn't mean he was wrongly taking advantage of his disability. It's the same kind of thing Dan did with Hazel regarding the tennis ball, because he actually cares for him. You may not agree that it was the best thing to do, but it doesn't make him a bad person here because he thought it was right.

Personally I do think Callum told what he heard.

Vanessa 28-07-2013 04:35 AM

How did Callum not hear the boos? They were loud enough. I think he lied.

I have liked Dexter so far but have warmed greatly to Callum over the last week.
When has Dexter ever been bothered about Sam before though, I haven't seen much evidence of that until this comment.

To accuse someone of using another persons disability to make themselves look good is a pretty low comment in anyones book I would have thought.

Callum has befriended Sam right from the start and explains all slowly and clearly to him which is clearly what Sam wants too.
Hence Sam's problem struggling with what was going on when Emma announced the twist on friday.
Now there was a shocking thing to do to Sam by BB since not only could he not make it out he was unable to keep up with it.

Callum again would help him with that and okay he fibbed, probably to spare his feelings and Sam has got annoyed at that.
That happens with friends who think they are always doing the best thing but sometimes fall short.
I have been guilty of that with a friend of mine who had a severe disability.

It does not however prove or even hint at that someone is using the disability of someone for their own ends.
Callum has been up for eviction despite his friendship with Sam but Callum is always there for him,always having time for him and really listening to him too.
That is to be admired in my opinion,not derided.

Callum is pretty much the only one who gives Sam any time in that house...if not for Callum Sam would be completely isolated.

Callum is keeping Sam to himself. It is part of Callum's gameplan - keep close to a housemate he imagines is popular.

That is totally right, no sign at all of Dexters concerns for him at those times.

100% wrong. Callum is a control-freak. He is separating Sam from the other housemates.

karezza 28-07-2013 10:00 AM

On live feed the other night Sam wasn't happy that Callum lied to him about his reception from the crowd.

Well of course he wouldn't be,sadly friends often fall short as I said in how they see the best thing to do sometimes.
Callum has never done a single negative thing as to Sam,whereas Dexter is in fact the one only using this as a way to get at Callum.
Despite doing not a single thing for Sam himself.
People make mistakes, that is all Callum did, made a mistake to protect Sam.

Also Callum had no idea how popular Sam was anyway until that task they did.
His behaviour towards Sam both before and after the task has been 100% constant.
If Dexter had said to Sam what Callum did as to boos, he would be likely being hailed a hero for trying to spare Sam more distress.Unbelievable

As a good friend, Callum made the choice to play the crowds reaction down,he made a mistake.
It does not give Dexter the right to slander him as to just using Sam because of his disability,that is disgusting as the title of the thread states in any context.
