I agree Sam will most likely go on Friday, a sad waste but alas a large percentage of the viewers do not appreciate such a unique character. He will always be a winner, however because unlike any other newbies he has promised us he will ask uncomfortable questions and cause controversy and he has not let us down. He has been true to himself and been true to the public and yet has been vilified for it by the masses. If a newbie goes in and delivers nothing, but just 'slots in' and becomes part of the background the public say boring, if a newbie goes in and creates a huge stir they say 'get him out, he's messing with our HM's' - go figure.

I absolutely disagree that Sam has in any way been mean to the beloved Queen Bee Josie. NOBODY takes the p*ss out of Josie's weight or appearance more than Josie. That is Josie's angle. She refers to it daily, telling us how she is an overweight, plain, ordinary, non-confident mare. We get it Josie! Most HM's have an angle which is where they base their gameplay and this is your. But in case we ever forget, you must constantly remind us. So Sam thought he was just joining in with what he felt you were good humoured about. Not very 'clued up' I agree, but nevertheless an understandable viewpoint from him. If I were to constantly say 'I'm fat' or 'I'm ugly' and be obviously upset about it then people would be kind and consoling, but if I joked about it all the time then people would make jokes also, but then I couldn't complain if some of those jokes hit a nerve, could I?

I am a primary school teacher and see lots of potential Sam's come into the system and feel, sadly they will not get the opportunity to reach their full potential. Sam, however is a credit to young people out there as he uses his artistic abilities in a positive way and is a very non aggressive character - He is positive, enthusiastic (although sometimes a bit too much), artistic, thoughtful, patient and creative. BB have given us a HM with so much interest, yet of course as always, the dullard seems to be the favourite.
