I read the link left by OP and saw that Sam says he is fortunate to have a 70% hearing loss (as in in could have been much worse for him). I was a bit surprised at this because for some reason I thought that Sam was profoundly deaf...I'm glad he won £7K and a holiday too apparently. He has said that he is worried about his future and that he has no real career plans (path). So maybe he tries to win money to help supplement a low income or something like that. I cant see anything bad in him doing that. In fact, if anything, it's a very inventive solution for him. He's not my favourite (I don't have one this year) but he is not exactly Public Enemy number one - is he?
