my first impression is hes young, immature and perhaps getting sucked in by gold digging milf jemima, but doesn't seem like such a bad bloke, does he?
I presume hes now turned his attention to the gorgeous irish model?

If he's getting "sucked in by gold-digging milf Jemima" then that's down to HIS lack of self control-Not her problem at all.

I coached football with Sam in America a couple of years ago and got to know him quite well. He is genuinley a really nice person but does say awkward things but I think that is to help him stand out because due to his hearing he cant really join in conversations as much as he would want. Hes definitely not a creep as people are saying based on a few crude one liners

This forum can be cruel. I think Sam is funny, good humoured and likable.

It's bugging me where I have seen Sam before has he been on reality previously?

[ThisIsNickkk]

He's a creep, he's boring and when he does talk all he goes on about is tits and Jen making his winkie expand. How excitable.

[grandefratello]

His accent grates on my nerves - I wish he would keep quiet . . . . he has nothing worth saying anyway. Utterly pointless waste of space!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ah yeah hes just a lad "you make my winky grow" is hilarious.

Now though I wonder if TheTruth would have felt the same if she had said "You make my minge wide"?

I don't see why its any different lol.

You decide.

Unlike you I find both terms appalling

Love it! Sam would have run a mile of she'd said that.

[Jords]

Hes likable, harmless and pretty funny.

Needs to do more though, same goes with Soph.

[Vanessa]

I love Sam. He's sweet and adorable.

Yeah, he's gone quiet. But i'm sure he'll come back.

I think Sam's a really good bloke but i think he's very self-conscious about his speech. He said as much in his video on launch night and most housemates either figured it out for themselves or asked after noticing his hearing aids.
On the other hand Dan said to him "i'm sorry but i'm having difficulty understanding a ******ing word your saying Sam". You could see poor Sam's confidence shrivelling up when he said it. I think that was on the first highlights show.
Dan is so wrapped up in himself that doesn't notice anything that's going on with anyone else (apart from Hazel of course!). He's such an unaware, self-obsessed twat is Dan (oink, oink little pig!).

Hopefully, when Jemima the witch is evicted on Friday Sam will be able to relax a bit more when there's alcohol around and he'll come out of his shell a bit more. I think there's a lot more to him that we haven't seen and he seems like a considerate and genuinely nice guy.

If you haven't already you should all give the guy a chance. I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon as i can't see him getting nominated by many people.
Someone's gotta' represent Wales in the house and he's the only eligible candidate. Go Sam!!!!

Yeah, with Dan being the super-detective and all you'd have thought he'd have spotted Sam's hearing aids and put two and two together. Probably too busy plucking his eyebrows in the mirrors or something else based around himself.

[coralqueen]

so far i like sam..

[Sophster]

I am also hard of hearing, and I totally get that it's hard to get involved in group discussions. Everyone is talking over each other, it's hard to be able to lip read everybody, and it takes time to process what people say. Also, he probably does not want to have to say pardon 5 times (It's so awkward.So awkward.)
Also, he probably says weird things just so that people laugh, and to show he has a sense of humour. People tend to assume you are a special snowflake if you are hard of hearing, so he is probably trying to prove that he is normal.
I am supporting him, just because I want to be an actress and I'm hard of hearing and he is raising awareness of the cause.:P We need deaf role models in the media, and he could provide that if he gains confidence with people.

(I also wonder how many packets of hearing aid batteries he brought because when you are wearing your aids all day, the battery drains so fast. If he has to go to the diary room like, "Can I have some more batteries?" I would feel so sorry for him Also hearing aid batteries go at the worst times, so if I was him, I would change his batteries before eviction night because no one wants to be the one who has to sit there going "Wut" when they announce who is going home.)

Thank you a sensitive realistic comment. I am appalled by comments criticizing his speech are ignorant and cruel. He has to lip read a lot and has had speech therapy to develop his ability to speak at all.None of this has anything to do with the way he behaves himself crudely or otherwise.

[smeagol]

he is ok seems nice enough & he seems to be ok with his speech and hearing so dont think its a issue. . but he is still a total waste of a housemate who will probably win as i thought when he first entered. another luke a.

[Black Dagger]

He's had about 5 seconds air-time in a week, and he's managed to irritate me, it says a lot about him. He's horrific and his cringe comments make me want to ram my head into a cupboard.

[Munchkins]

He thought Tony Blair was the current Prime Minister..
And that the Moon was the closest Planet to Earth

Enough said

[Razor]

Liked him at first but have since gone off him.

[the truth]

for those who slate him simply because youre worried he will win and beat your fave, don't worry...sam has absolutely no chance of winning

[cheapbbfan]

most times I never even realize he's in the house
