The money he is giving to 'The Dog n Bone' is not a charity for deaf dogs, it's his local boozer.

what a class gesture and a wonderful thing to do. proves yet again what a genuine kind compassionate person sam is. Bravo

Good guys do come first!

Dexter was going to give some to Charity and also to the runner up and 3rd place (as long as it wasn't Gina who has enough already or Sam).

I'm sure it came out that she had offered the money and Steve refused because some company that made the legs were donating them to him?

I'm sure I read that on here somewhere after that series ended.

Sam hasn't given any money to charity yet.

Why say he has given money to charity when he hasn't?

Gestures like this, as well intentioned and "nice" as they may be, are also incredibly stupid. Give your family a chunk by all means but 25k is waaaay too much money for a young guy of middle class background to just give away without good reason. He will almost certainly never see such a windfall again in his whole life, HE needs the money himself!! Give your 3 favourite charities a grand each, they will not complain, it is extremely generous, enough said.

The world is not fair, its tough out there, look after yourself and your loved ones with everything you have got if you wish to survive and enjoy life. Your overly generous gesture will be long forgotten by those shouting how great it is, in no time, after all.

I don't think anybody else in the final would have done this

Dexter would have given all his to charity, Sam is only giving half. the greedy jerk

25K LOL is that all he uses his disability to win and gives 25k that he will get that back easy if he hasn't already plus tax deductable. meanwhile pockets a cool 75k plus everything else he will get from it. not bad for sleeping through a show then being a nob

That's a beautiful gesture and I'm sure he'll sort out how to realistically do so with a financial adviser.
