At the end of the day, he should be grateful that he has any fans sending him gifts, after all he is from Big Brother, not Hollywood. As Nikki Grahame once said; 'You're not A-List darling, you've been on reality TV like all of us'.
My question is "What's it to you or anyone else if fans want to send him stuff?" Unless he's sending heavies round to their houses to extract gifts and money, from where I'm sitting people are WANTING to send him stuff, and pretty inocuous stuff too, like pepperpots, drawings, photos, even socks - hardly the crown jewels FFS. If and when they get fed up with him they won't need you or any of the sanctimonious prigs on this forum's approval to drop him like a hot potato. It is the nature of the celebrity beast that BB spawns that each and every HM will do their utmost to cash in on their short lived fame, and why the hell not?

All these petty digs at a young lad exploiting his short lived "celebrity" are pathetic - you all know full well you'd do the same, such opportunities only come along once in a while. He is doing no-one any harm so get a grip.

How about having a go at some of the really established celebs who use twitter to promote their crappy records and books? Why shouldn't Sam and the other BB "celebs" have the same privilege?
