Look at the F&F nominations for example. Sams mum nominated Sophie & Dexter because they don't 'communicate' properly with Sam. This is a completely fair statement for her to make. However, it's also a statement that can only be made in relation to Sam, and by default it paints him in a 'sympathetic' light and makes Sophie and Dexter look like complete nobs. It's a one way street in many respects. I get that, and I think it's completely legitimate to make claims and nominate because of it, but the other housemates are just at a disadvantage because it's a card that only one housemate can play...

Excellent post, it is a one way street, Sam said in the DR last night that he would turn off his hearing aid so he didn't have to listen to crap, if one of the others said they would ignore Sam because he was talking sheet there would be uproar on here.
