As someone who is classed as being 80% disabled (in a wheelchair because of a broken spine) I can honestly say no, it doesn't take heart, it takes just dealing with it and learning, over time to find ways of getting on with your life despite the disability.

Sam's a big boy, he's learned to cope with the disability. By the way, did you know that Anastacia is almost blind? and yet she's a a multi-award winning singer songwriter.

The point is, he doesn't need sympathy, he needs treating the way everyone else gets treated-that'll do him much more good than all the sympathy in the world.

Good points but no-one gave Jemima the benefit of any doubt they just accused her of being a "bunny-boiler" because of Sam's behavior.

Sam is clearly a very entertaining housemate, he has also mixed well with everyone and made a great friend in Callum. It's very easy to see the natural bond and love they have for each other, Sam trusts him 100%and lets be totally honest here...we all need someone like that who would not lie to us,help us through difficult times etc. It's extremely kind of Callum to be there for this young man as he strives to raise awareness of this terrible condition. Sam winning would be great for the show but even more so for all those children suffering in and around Wales.

I respect your opinion and understand what youre saying. however I disagree , I think this does take heart. im not saying pat him on the back and patronise him....im saying to go on this particular show when youre almost deaf does take guts heart call it what you will.....its a different kind fo courage from some things but I think it is very courageous....its an intense situation in a tight spot under 24 hour cameras where communication counts 24 hours a day and the lad cant hear most of whats said.....that's a massive challenge and hes dealing with it admirably imho
yes im aware of anastacia...also stevie wonder, Andrei bocelli, ray Charles, amongst many others with blindness ....just remarkable singers
ian dury was another singer with a disability....you don't get that many with such disabilities in the music and entertainment business....take big brother...have they ever had a wheelchair in any big brother house?
