Sympathy votes had nothing to do with it. All the people I know who liked Sam was because he seemed nice, likeable, genuine and had the guts to stand up to Dexter multiple times about his game playing as well as standing by his friend Callum when the other's turned on him. His looks will have got him some teen votes. No-one votes out of sympathy - X-Factor over milked that one years back.

Did Dexter get voted up to second place because he's mixed race with a 10-year-old boy's body hormone problem or are these kinds of make-up-an-excuse-for-your-favourite-not-winning threads a one-way anti-Sam thing?
