Im indifferent towards Sam. And yes, he shouldn't have piped up during Jason and Hughie's exchange.

But let's put it into perspective. It's already late in the evening, following what has probably felt been a long and exhausting day after a task and then followed by the eviction. BB decides to have an awards show right after that only adds to the stress level of the housemates, with the intention of stirring the bad blood among some of them. They can't leave the couch area until BB says they can, and the ceremony can't move on to a different category until the HM's have all given their answers and, apparently, until they stop talking altogether. The HM's are tired and just want to get through it so they can finally go to sleep and put an end to the day. But then you have Jason/ Andy arguing with Hughie, putting the awards ceremony on hold until one of them ends it and they can finally move on. The rest of the HM's can't do anything but wait until one of them stops, and so Sam tries to play peacemaker in an attempt to get things going for the sake of everyone else.

Again, Sam shouldn't have done it. But give. The circumstances somebody had to say something to keep it moving along, otherwise they would have stayed on that couch till God knows when.
