Brilliant night that was.
Boo! Hiss!
Remember the most unmemorable winner in BB history? Only with a struggle.
Shame it didn't happen, not just because he was a weak winner, but it may have brought a bit of unpredictability to the final instead of it being obvious.
It would have been even worse if Gina or Dexter won.
Says You, at least they made copious contributions to the show!
I thought 2! 2 and 5 were in my head, wow that's even worse!!
Completely agree.
I don't get why so many dislike Sam. I found him likeable, quite funny and able to stand up for himself when he needed to, and certainly behaved with more dignity and class than Dexter and Gina - who are probably the two most overrated housemates of all time.
And people always massively underestimate how much BB GAVE Gina and Dexter to make them into 'big characters'.
If Sam and Sophie had been given all the thrills and drama of the secret house we would have seen Sam come out of his shell and get excited. Instead, they just couldn't hide their disdain for Sam and Sophie, even contriving to put them up for eviction with no nominations at all.
Yes, agree with every word.
these campaigns seldom work, especially when it comes to vote to evict.
you need huge twitter backing, much like what Ashleigh had last week.
anyway, i was happy Sophie went, she was just a useless if not more than Sam !
He was a good highlights housemate. He gave them enough footage to showcase a character.
On the live feed, he was tedious as shit - just hours of him repeating the same point over and over again, as though auditioning takes for the director to choose the best one from.
Charlie Travers and Dexter's pretentious bullshitty chats, like taking a sleeping pill with horrendous side-effects:cool:
Agree with every word there. And if anything, the fact that the campaign didn't work speaks volumes. There was a very short voting time (think it was less than a day?), Sam had a bit of a bad press from the Daily Star that day, he had a bit of a bad edit on Thursday's highlights show with an argument with a lot of screen time in a vote to evict (and yes some viewers might have sided with him against Dexter, but Dexter wasn't up for eviction any more), Sam being the favourite to win meant he'd be a target for fans of other housemates, and the fact there was concentrated campaign to get him out. All that in its favour, and the campaign still failed. I was pleased, particularly because of a lot of the nasty things that were said about Sam during it.
I hate it when obsessive, cliquey hardcore fans group together to try and manipulate an eviction vote anyway. It's one the reasons I hated BB11 so much, with interesting housemates like Rachael, Sunshine and Ben getting booted out because of the Crab Eyes fangirls.
Sam was the winner, by default - to prevent either Dexter or Gina getting the title.
I sympathise with his disability...but....IMO, he couldn't/didn't contribute enough & was quite a smutty young man.
A disappointing winner - I hope we do better, this year ;-)
The final was still dull though. If you don't like the final line-up then a bit of unpredictability and competitiveness can brighten it up. I'm at the point where the winner is becoming less relevant to me, it's more about enjoying the series while it's on. The winner is barely relevant anymore but a bit of excitement over the result wouldn't go amiss.
Sam is the sort of housemate that's an obvious winner going into the final, during the series, even way back on launch night.
I thought the final line-up was alright, replace Sam with one of Callum, Hazel or Dan (even though I couldn't bear him) and it would have been more interesting. Instead it was just flat.
I think Sam was greatly missing any sort of likeability either.
If he stopped either of those 2 from winning then I take back what I said and he was a worthy winner.
BBBOTS obviously attempted to orchestrate a winner by attaching the status of 'master game player' or 'legendary HM' to wimpy Dexter and and Queen Bitch Gina, glad they failed.
No that goes to that friggin Aaron :mad:
That would be enough to make me like anyone
