Maybe to answer the question to people who say Sam is boring, name a few reasons why you like Sam. Here's mine;

1. He's Welsh (i'm sorry I can't help it)
2. He's funny, I love his jokes.
3. He was a great friend to Callum and didn't get swayed by the rest of the house and stuck by him.

This is why Sam needs to win BB14!

[lovebigbrotheruk]

He's nice.

Lol. As far as I'm concerned, that's a con. But I can live with that small unfortunate definity.

[Suze]

I don't.

[Drew.]

if he wasnt Welsh would you actually like him?

Less

[Verbal]

Reasons:

He has not resorted to bitching about other HM's
He has made me laugh
I understand and respect his reasons for being in there and how he has dealt with it
He is down to earth and represents the everyday person on the street
He isnt chavy
I think the friendship he struck up with Callum was one of the better parts of the series and possibly the only genuine friendship that has been struck in there
He's Welsh

[Benji_]

1. He's been genuine
2. he's probably the only one who isn't playing a game
3. He's loyal

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Because the rest are *****

[alex_front2]

Why do I like Sam? I had a massive bet on him from the end of first week when his odds drifted to oblivion.

[Josy]

He seems genuine.

He stands by his friends.

He may not have been what some class as an entertaining housemate but I have said this before and still think housemates that are less involved with the others can stand back and watch everything that's going on in there from a fair perspective so they can make decisions based on their own opinions without just copying what other hm's think, like Sam proved when he was discussing Charlie with Gina a week or so ago....

He's one of the only likeable ones out of this years bunch IMO.

He says what he thinks, if he thinks someone has been **** stirring about him then he goes to them and is straight to the point with them.

People like Dex are fully entitled to their own opinion about him and don't need to feel guilty about a thing.

Ok Sam quibbled over the exact words but conveniently missed the whole point and just made himself look silly.

He's trying to take the moral highground to appear holier than thou and it's just a joke !

Of course Dexter and others are entitled to an opinion, no one says they aren't?

My opinion is that Sam went straight to Dexter when he though he was telling lies about him and face the problem head on..

I just got the impression from you that if someone is saying things that put you in a bad light, you're within your rights to challenge them over it as if they've done something wrong.

There were no real "lies".
Sam just too stubborn to see thing any other way than his own.

Here's what happened...
Dex said Sam told him not to speak to him.
Sam made a mountain out of a molehill pointing out he said "Don't feel the need to speak to me".

Boils down to the same thing.
i.e. Sam was in grumpy mood questioning his motivation and thinking the worst of Dex.

And worst of all, he never recognized the point Dex made.
He simply took the huff and lost his rag when Dex won the argument.

[Winkie Expand]

(posted this earlier in a different thread but it fits here as well)

Sam's a real guy, not some insecure, hungry fame-***** using a phony story to navigate their way through a reality show.

It takes a truly good person to accomplish navigating the house this long without stirring a bunch of **** and I find that incredibly admirable... not boring, not lazy but admirable. It's better than Dexter's anxious insecurity, Charlie's flip-flopping, Gina's phoniness, the twins' incessant need for attention or Sophie's bitchiness.

Sam is more together than pretty much anyone else left in that house could dream of being. I hope the majority of viewers see this and reward someone who is deserving of the money, not necessarily because he put on a show, but because he was a good guy who lasted in the game for a long time.

Debatable !

After he said "She [Charlie] backstabbed you" to Callum what happened ?

He's all over Charlie with hugs, hairstroking etc offering his support and sticking up for her.

I thought it was quite 2 faced at the time.

Yet again we see how loyalties are quickly dropped when people are booted out.

I think he's just ACTING like he's all moral but his BEHAVIOUR (e.g. vulgar jokes) tells a slightly different story.

[Raph]

I also loved when he told Dexter off "You're rude, ungrateful and arrogant, you are" - epic line.

Calling Dexter rude , after his rude comments to females. ...

[Kazanne]

Sam is himself,not trying to be anyone else
Sam is honest
Sam is no ass licker
Sams the only one I think to confront Dexter and tell him a few home truths
Sam likes to have fun,make people laugh and is kind
Sam doesn't trust Dexter which makes him sound in my book
Sam is a worthy winner.and more people would have seen that had BB not concentrated so much on the 'love triangle and romance angle,that they forced down our throats every night,he has the best one liners, is witty,and a nice down to earth bloke.

[Joelle.]

I'm a geordie, Jay from BB12 is a geordie, and I thought he was a dickhead...

And all of those things listed above mean he'd probably be an alright guy to be friends with, but don't make him an entertaining housemate, so he's probably the person least worthy of winning. Everyone else has at least done something, even Sophie.

When the fact nationality is one of the three main reasons you support a housemate, it kind of confirms they have been a bit ****.

There have been load of Mancs over the years, doesn't mean I'll support them because they are in a 10 mile radius. If they are ***********s/bores they can disappear.

easy to say but some people look at it like a sports match.....are we wrong to support England at Wembley? or Twickenham....to tell a nation its wrong to support their fellow countryman is political correctness gone too far

that's all well and good to preach about not supporting a fewllow Irishman or Englishman or whatever.....but the welsh are different.....I know we in England don't understand it, but the welsh are different..its a small compact little nation, theyve only got 10 surnames because they stay at home and love their beloved country and support their fellow countrymen/women......trust me whatever you think about not supporting your fellow nationality is out the window in wales.

Sport and **** is different, you are allowed to be patriotic and support your own country and talents.. it's expected.

But **** that if you think I'm going to accept 'he's Welsh' as a valid reason for him being such a worthy housemate, it's terrible that somebodies main reason that they could think of for why they support a house-mate is because they live in the same country.
