I find Sam a boring housemate and not enjoyed him at all and really don't want him to win but now I'm feeling kinda mean for thinking like this. I;m interested to hear what others think on this subject.

No. Sam may have gone into the house to raise awareness, and I believe he may have done so. This can only be good.
I do think his deafness will work against him however as I have seen comments on this very forum moaning about how they can't understand him etc. You do have to listen a little more keenly at times but that is hardly his fault.

You should not feel mean because you find him boring he has the right to be judged on he same merits as the rest.

I like Sam he has had some good moments on l/f.

Any housemate with a disability should automatically win even if they are boring as **** and contribute nothing to the show.

No one said that at all.

[smeagol]

im not sure how going in bb is doing anything for deaf people. he can hear pretty well condsidering. and is he doin naff all since he has been there.

but same as luke a will prob win. its sad should be based on personality not condition

this is me if he wins

[Speedster]

No. He shouldn't win just because he wants to "raise awareness" of people who're deaf, as someone else said, there are other ways of doing that, besides, what has he actually done to "raise awareness"? of deaf people?.

As someone with a physical disability (i'm in wheelchair) I can tell you that no-one in his position would want to just be given all this money "cos he's disabled", they'd want to win it because they DESERVED to win it and therefore won it fair and square .

[swinearefine]

**** that, this is a personality contest not a charity.

[Tregard]

A housemate should win for the housemate.

[armand.kay]

Gurl bai.

'Oh I hadn't realise he had gone in to help other deaf people and raise awareness'

How thick can you be? I'm sorry but really?

How does that differ between the same bullsh*t Wolfy spewed out in the diary room that time? Or the bollocks Mikey from BB9 use to harper on about? It's a sob story simple as that.

Raise awareness for what exactly? The public know that it's possible to be deaf. It isn't like he's Pete from BB7, he went in for a real cause - many people watching the show back then didn't realise the full extent of suffering from tourettes.

Sam is a dull bastard and deserves to leave, the fact you think he should win for being deaf is hilarious tbqh.

[Johnnyuk123]

Sam is embarassing deaf people all over the uk i am sure, because i know many people way more interesting than Sam with hearing problems and none of them support him simply because he contributes nothing to the show or the awareness of deaf people.

[Johnnyuk123]

The obese children only cried because mummy usually brings them happy meals from mcdonalds and she didn't bring them this time. Sorry i meant a family bucket each from KFC.

[Jords]

Nope.

[ILOVEBB]

No i really really find him so boring,it be sad if someone so dull won BB and he will not win Because people will not pick up the phone to vote for him unless there is a big push on bot for him to win.

[tonster76]

I don't think he's after a sympathy or charity vote. That would defeat the purpose.

[waterhog]

he is a loverly guy and has done nothing wrong but to be entertaining as he does not let his disabilities hold him back - and this is very hard to do. respect to this guy.

i would not mind him winning but at this stage in the comp - charlie is my winner. but things can change.

[Champagnechrisy]

I like Sam,he is funny without realising it.
A bit of a innocent too,never tried champagne,
Can't say his alphabet!
I think he is sweet and needs more airtime!
Don't know if he is a winner,he isn't shown
Enough to be able to judge!

Sorry to be a cynic but he doesn't know what a thistle is either and some other stuff that he said made me feel he is going down the tried and tested "I'm a bit fick" route. I think he is deceptively intelligent.

As someone elsewhere has already pointed out, his inability to recite the alphabet will be down to his hearing difficulties.

[Johnnyuk123]

This is no different than to say that Charlie should win simply because she is taking part in BB for all the other girls out there whos lives have suffered from having an overbearing mother from hell.

Or saying the obese children should win because they are obese.

Or Hazel should win as she is representing all the girls out there who were born pretty.
etc.....

[joeysteele]

I think Sam to be fair to him is already doing a fair bit for his cause by actually being there and mixing and getting along with so many people.
He hasn't really been nominated that much at all and it is a bit sad that this twist could result in him being turfed out.

Speaking personally I don't though agree that someone should win purely because they are representing a good cause, it is likely many of the housemates would support good and maybe even better causes if BB was based on something like that.

I have warmed to Sam these last few days, I do admire how he gets along in the house doing his thing and mixing and being as full a housemate as he wants or feels he wants to be.
I do hope he stays this week,that in itself will be a very well deserved result.

Like this post Joey,I think it's a bit wrong if he goes out like this,as he seems well liked within the house,I know what it's like to struggle with hearing problems and Sam deals with his well,do people realize how embarrassing it is to be in a crowd and not be able to hear what they are saying properly,not saying he should win for that, but fair play to him for even entering.

[Daffodil]

I recall seeing Sam losing his temper in the early weeks and calling Dan a 'bell-end' in a really nasty way, not light-hearted. I saw a flash of his temper recently too when he was in 'jail'. When he swears, he does it nastily. And as for him telling Jemima that she made his willie get big (or something) ... yuk yuk and thrice yuk. Sorry, I don't judge a person on their possible physical/medical problems, but on their characters. And he, is not a nice person.

[billy123]

Not once have i seen the lad "represent a cause" or in any way use his hearing as an excuse for anything the suggestion he has is pathetic and built on nothing but housemate preference of the poster.
When it comes to criticizing his academic education because he struggled to recite the alphabet (not that he would ever say it) but just maybe his education had other more important priorities.

His emotional intelligenge far outweighs any lack of of academic intelligence and seems far more advanced than some on here and i know which wil get you further in life.

[Black Dagger]

no, he can always give money to charity, or talk about it in his interview.

He's a terrible, terrible house-mate.
