Strange how Sam all of a sudden is not in bed, but joining in the group conversation.

I don't think Sam is a particularly fantastic role model for young deaf people.

He should be able to mix with everyone not just spend his time talking football with Callum and sleeping. Presumably he will sleep through the next 2 weeks now that Callum has gone.

He is at a disadvantage socially in there as with all the blended conversations he's missing out on subtle shifts in alliances and only gasping parts of convos.
He's muddled through so far but with callum gone he may get isolated a bit

He'll do better now, as he won't have Callum feeding him lies and misinformation. I can see him mixing with everyone more, which can only be a good thing.

I agree. He's better off without Callum constantly dripping poison to him.

What is this poison that Callum supposedly dripped to him?

His lies about Dexter and about his argument with Gina.

Thankfully the other housemates have rallied around, well, most of them.

Hopefully we will get to see more of him now.

Surely Sam copes when he's with his mates down at the pub - a much noisier environment?

He explained it the other night.
If he is out with a group of mates,he may not hear everything, if he laughs at the wrong point of a joke etc, they realise and explain it to him.
His mates will know to face him when they speak.
The pub noise will will just all blur into one big wall of noise.

Sam liked callum for how he interacted with him as a person not for influencing in who to associate with....

[Kizzy]

Dexters constantly greasing around the cool kids was what got them to turn their attention from him to callum, why did dexter never react to sam as he did to callum? because he knew he was popular on the outside, he did influence voters very subtly though by suggesting he would be very disappointed to leave over someone who hadn't 'done' as much..... Very tricky.

all callum did was bully dexter and make his life hell, and nice little sam loved every minute of it sniggering his little head off
