If anything his supporters like Sam simply because of his life story as there isn't anything else to like about him.


I keep asking Sam fans why do they support him, what has he done that deserves the 100k and they NEVER ANSWER.

Sorry but that just isn't true. You simply choose not accept their answers. I know this because in the thread asking people why they like Sam I gave my answers.

I said:

I then later said:

The expanding winkie jest was one line weeks ago but that gets rolled out as the prime example of his humour.

There've been loads of one liners that have made me laugh. I think my favourite was 'he's so rude he'd make an onion cry'.

His humour is mainly low key and easy to miss if you aren't looking out for it. He has an excellent way with words.

For all that he's young and there are lots of things he doesn't know, on raw intelligence I think he's one of the cleverest people in there. Not clever as in games player, but clever as in astute.

I gave those answers because of this post by you:

I would love to hear genuine reason as to why he should win.

You seemed to genuinely want to hear why people liked/supported Sam.

Now. You can disagree with that all you like, it doesn't change the fact that reasons were offered for liking Sam. To suggest that you keep on asking but people NEVER answer is an untruth. You may not like the answers, but that's really not the point is it?


One final point: Cynical Hermit offered, amongst several reasons, the fact that he was impressed with the way Sam had handled certain things within the house. Saying you impressed with how someone deals with some of the difficulties associated with a disability is not the same as saying you support them because of their disability, or that you support them out of sympathy for their disability. But: that gets picked up and twisted into 'sympathy vote Sam' and the rest of the reasoning gets ignored.
