- - Sam interview with Callum - heart breaking or a sympathy vote ? (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231577)

I don't see why he would be looking for a sympathy vote at this time, he doesn't even know he's up?

Anyway I think the conversation was 100% genuine and he wouldn't have told any other housemate that apart from Callum, he's actually doing brilliantly in there, think how difficult it must be trying to keep up with conversations and stuff going on when they are all speaking over each other and stuff, Callum is the only one in there that actually takes time to explain conversations and situations to Sam too, it's a very nice genuine friendship they have going on.

This...

when the word sympathy is used people mean from the public. not sam asking for it.
at least thats what i meant

yeah he may get some sympathy but hes not looking for it....I think going in there with 85% deafness is just extraordinary braveness. and if people want to vote him to win for that braveness fair enough I say

I find it insuiting to even think the public would give him a sympathy vote.
Sam has gone in there to gain understanding of his disability not sympathy.

If he wins then he will win because of his character and not his deafness.
He is a lovely lad, not perfect but one of the best of the bunch this year.

(Scott from last year said on BBOTs he liked Sam)

Untrue in the unedited version of the clip Sam said Gina was the only one who listened to him properly.

Yep, well spotted but Gina being too nice doesn't fit the SL.

There's a massive difference between sympathy and empathy.

Sadly some people seem tot hink they're the same.
