To be fair he has had to explain himself to about 50 different people as to why he supports Sam because apparently it's not valid to support him.

..I do think you can say the same for most people though, especially this year as the housemates have been a strange old bunch and for me there hasn't been the balance of personality of being entertaining yet not showing bitchy qualities, I guess bitching is part of life so it depends on the degree and also what you personally think makes a good housemate...whether you want to be 'entertained' regardless of any negative character in that person or whether you want what is perceived as a nicer person but hasn't really given so much...anyway, regardless of what that is, there still isn't any need to be rude and does come across as hypocritical when one of the reasons you're supporting a housemate is because you don't think they're rude...I'm sure nothing was meant by it from the member but it was rude to Dexter supporters, who are as valid as any other supporter...

Ammi I believe that ANY reason for supporting ANY housemate is perfectly reasonable and who am I to criticise someone for how they feel. Good post though.


And Cynical Hermit is anything but rude I think he's just sick of being questioned all the time.

Oh come on now, up until now Sam has remained in the shadows and now that most of the Callum fans have now moved over to Sam and he is getting a bit more air time he is getting talked about a bit more, and Sam fans will have to put up with some negative stuff, don't know if you watched BOTs last night but the comedienne put it fairly well she said something along the lines of if we can speak positively about Sam we must also allow some negativity just the same as any other HM, Dexter/Gina fans have had to explain their "like" since the beginning of the show, that is what happens on forums, no need to get personal.

Negativity is fine but Cynical Hermit and other Sam fans have been pounced on for their support of Sam because its seen as some sort of violation of the big brother entertainment code. I don't care why somebody supports Dexter or Gina or whoever but nobody should tell Sam fans that they have no valid reasons for supporting them.

I haven't seen any posts along those lines but then I don't read all the threads. I can only comment on what I have seen and that is being called a Mug on this thread which I take issue with :

Everybody know your not a mug Cherie, but take it from me Cynical Hermit has had to repeat himself multiple times in the last few days. I don't condone personal insults but he has been battered from pillar to post and I don't speak for him but I can imagine its pretty wearing.

Anyway I don't want to derail this thread so I apologise for that.

..yeah, I appreciate the reasons are as valid as anyone else's..some people go for 'entertainment'..maybe even regardless of what other characters that housemate has but that's just as valid as well..for me, Sam seems like an ok guy but I have spent most of the time forgetting he's there..I can't really say I would be too annoyed if he did win though because there hasn't been a well balanced housemate for me this year, which is why it's been so hard to support one person...hmmm, I'm not sure if there's been the 'perfect winner' for me since Brian Dowling..just a lovely combination of 'nice' and entertaining as well...

EDIT:..sorry, I should have said that I also don't personally believe two wrongs make a right either and to be rude to others because you feel they've been rude too, isn't really the right thing to do...but yeah, we won't derail the thread any further...

Good post Ammi and fair play Cherie. Glad we can all be amicable.
