1= Not so he is pretty lively on LF and perhaps a lot of times he doesn't get shown
2= So are most of the others
3= He's a young man,most of them are
4= Not noticed any sign of this
5= Not so again,better picking nails than noses(dexter likes a good root)
6 =Not so insular that he didn't tell certain ones to their faces

and finally,you mentioned his deafness:hugesmile:

The biggest crime a Big Brother housemate can commit is to be boring. Thou shalt not be boring. Sam is boring. To be boring is unforgivable.

I don't believe in your religion so he hath not comitted blasphemy in my church your eminence. :dance:

The Ten Commandments of Big Brother:

1. Thou shalt not be boring
2. Thou shalt not spend all day in bed
3. Thou shalt not pretend to be nice
4. Thou shalt not play for the sympathy vote
5. Thou shalt not cry at every opportunity
6. Thou shalt not go to bed before midnight
7. Thou shalt not avoid confrontation
8. Thou shalt not say you are bored
9. Thou shalt not consider walking out
10. Thou shalt not keep quiet

Amen

Anything I say about Sam is based on the fact that I don't like him due to his general twattishness, nowt to do with him being partially deaf.

:laugh: hilarious hahahahaha

Does that mean I am a follower of the anti-brother? :devil:

I hope Tozzie doesn't burn me at the stake for my blatant heresy!

The Anti-Housemate (Sam) has violated several of those sacred commandments and will burn for all eternity in Big Brother Hell.

:devil:

The results of Sam's 'having a go' at Dexter and Sophie are highly contentious, as is the argument over what constitutes 'exciting' behaviour in a housemate: people see very different things in the same programme. Some people thought Sam was brave and strong, others that he was hypocritical and immature!

I think that Sam's hearing issues have made his time in BB a bit of a challenge, but it is not an environment for shrinking violets. However, his issues are not insurmountable. My own father was deaf (his choice of word) and in addition never learnt to write but he was a clever and charismatic man who was successful in business, and in the part of London where he operated, he was as famous as Frank Sinatra: everybody knew him and had a story about him. The last thing anybody would have defined him by was his deafness.

That doesn't sound like Sam at all to me,some major fabrications there:hugesmile:

Sam violates at least half of the Big Brother Commandments - that is unforgivable.

:nono:

He's 23,I'm sure as he gets older he will learn how to handle what comes before him.

Sorry, but Cynicalhermit is right: there are many derogatory comments in here about the lad's hearing problems, up to and including suggestions that the hearing impaired should not be 'allowed' to enter BB.

Any liking or support for Sam is shot down with accusations of 'sympathy' for his disability, as if that is the only reason anybody would supprt him. Others make regular references to him being a dead cert to win because of his disability. In short: he is talked about by some people almost exclusively in terms of his disability.

Ah priests Kazanne, always preaching to us lay folk, it's disgraceful so it is. :spin:

Sorry but there are some overly sensitive people in here, people take offence too easy these days. I woke up the other night and saw some one taking a load of wood out of my garden but I didn't say anything in case he took a fence. Badum tish. I'm here all week.

lol :joker:

lol thats funny i like that :joker:

I try precious ;)

I said this the other day to him. Most people dislike Sam because he is dull, not because he is hard of hearing.

They may dislike him because he is dull, but a lot of people frame their comments with reference to his disability. His nickname is now 'sympathy vote Sam'

Someone asked CH for examples. Here are a few.


There are more, and I think there are worse, but I haven't the time or energy to do a more thorough search.

I've seen a couple of posts saying that but only in reference to hm's with a disability automatically getting the sympathy vote.

The bookies know this too about the general public which is why he's been one of the favourites for most of the series, even tho for the majority of the time he's been in a coma.

He was in the top half of all polls despite doing **** all and barely being shown for 6 weeks, above hm's like Dan, Callum and Hazel.

Can you quote a couple? I'm a Sam fan but I've never seen anything inappropriate about him.

Ohh, brilliantly found. Thess are disgusting and I agree with the OP, they shouldn't be allowed on the forum

Most of those don't even qualify as taking the piss out of his disability. They are merely pointing out that he has a disability and some people think that automatically qualifies someone as a good person. It doesn't, I come from a large family and I have cousins and nieces/nephews with disabilities ranging from Down Syndrome to Autism. They are just as much arseholes as the rest of us when they want to be and it's got frig all to do with their disability.

All of the posts she quoted were disgusting and cruel. Every one of them would have been posted differently had he not have the condition.
