Talking sam is giving half the money away!
Strange how no one on here has mentioned or even acknowledged this remarkably kind magnanimous gesture

he is only 22/23 he is not wealthy at all, he has no real career path as such, yet after winning £100,000 he gives away £25,000 to deaf charities and £25,000 to his family


what a class gesture and a wonderful thing to do. proves yet again what a genuine kind compassionate person sam is. Bravo

Good guys do come first!

I mentioned it but got the usual "I'll believe it when I see it" remarks.

Well..the only other time someone has said they would give money away was Josie I think, and Steve never did get his leg..can understand the skepticism

So she didn't buy him a new artificial leg, I honestly didn't think she would.

No surprises there, Josie was awful. So disappointed when she won. A terrible end to a terrible series.

Yes, I think Josie is my least liked winner ever. Its wrong, but I cant help blaming her for the quad eviction decision. That final had the potential to be fantastic and unpredictable. But they chose to hand it to her on a plate instead

I still don't think that the quad would have happened if she didn't have the pass. I really don't/ I don't know what they stood to gain by making sure she won, but it really did seem they were desperate for it.

Absolutely, I perfectly understand the scepticism, just a predictable response tis all.

Craig the original champ from BB1 give every single penny to that girl who needed organ transplants which prolonged her life by about 10 years.

God that boy had a huge willy.

Anyway people need to stop looking at Sam as a little boy!!! Hes actually 24! Hes a man!

Grace was only 20 in BB7 did you look at her as a little girl? (not aimed at you Vicky lol its at op).

You know Im affectionate for you.

Yeah, but IIRC there was no fanfare about it. It was a shock (to me anyway, had never heard him mention it in the house) and he pretty much just handed it over there and then, and that was the end of it.

It was a long time ago though so I may be wrong.

I'll believe it when I see it. Didn't awful Rachel Rice say she was giving the prize money to charity and she didn't?

Not sure if Rachel gave it or not, but from what I remember, Rachel was quite forced into saying she would by Davina who pretty much said in her winners interview 'you are an awful winner, you dont deserve the money, who are you giving it to'

Probably guilt because he knows that him winning was an insult to the viewers - leaving aside his deafness, to me he was an unintelligent yob in every sense. If he gave all of it away, it would not make it less ridiculous that someone like him could win.
