Poor Sam

He's a young lad, and I think he thought he would have a bit of a laugh in there

Who is there, though, to have a laugh with ?

In past big Big Brothers there have always been a few who were up for a bit of fun

Who, in this BB, fits that bill ?

    I have no sympathy for him and his expanding winkie (which i'd imagine has retracted back inside him)

    He thought he'd be flirty and barked up the wrong tree with the dreadful Jeremiah and hasnt done anything since.

    Id happily see him, Sophie, Dullam and Daley replaced with brand new housemates

    I was thinking of past BB's where there were always a few lads up for a laugh and a bit of fun

    It occurs to me that it isn't so in this BB ... they're all so serious and 'focussed' ... even the so called 'hilarious' ' twins ( who are only 18, afterall, and could be expected to be a bit spontaneous ) are just slothing about eavesdropping like a pair of washer-women

    I just don't see where Sam can turn for some youthful exuberance

    I like Sam and from the clips we see of the HM's having fun he is always involved. I blame the people that make this show, it's become all about bitching and arguments or HM's being over the top. I want to see some fun as well, it can get really depressing watching constant arguments and bitching all the time.

    One of the housemates said he sleeps all the time because he can't cope with the amount of people all talking at once. So it is understandable he is exhausted trying to join in because of that.
    There are plenty of housemates who are not much older than Sam so I don't think it is his age also they all seem to like him. He is just having a quiet week but hopefully he will soon be back on form.

    he has been hanging about with Callum and Daley, so obviously he is going to feel a bit depressed :cool:

    What a typical silly post from a Sam detractor.

    Such strong feelings of hard dislike for someone they claim does nothing.

    Sam is sure hated for not actually doing anything to be hated for.

    I dont mind Sam but he is obviously not one of the 'favourites' and gets little camera time

    Think he is just a really poor choice of housemate.

    I think producers thought he would be popular with female viewers.

    He isn't so they have just edited him out

    Bloody hell give the boy a break he is at the mercy of the editors.The house this year are all worried about public persona personally I think he should win the other hoemates to self obbessed. What happened to enjoying the experience.Gina is doing the tasks for more airtime.She aint in there for the money if she does have money and a magical life why the hell is she in there.The most genuine housemate should go to Sam.......

    Yes, having deaf family members I know how tired and frustrated they can get in groups of people. Deafness is an 'invisible' disability so I'm pleased the others seem to understand him and not think he's just a grumpy bore, which some people can assume if they 'forget' the disability is there.

    He made a massive mistake expanding his winkie at Jemima and lost some fans, but I think he's a nice lad who seems well-like in the house.

    I hope that Sam gets into the game a bit more. I think he seems like a nice lad but we need to see more of him. It does seem like he is just being himself and is getting left behind the bigger players.

    Yes, true, though I guess youthfully exuberant housemates have sometimes been a pain. Last year, for example, it was Arron who was all for youthful exuberance, including exuberantly hiding Deana's possessions. But yes, two more solemn young men than Daley and Callum you could not hope to find. And your description of the twins is brilliant. Jackie has more youthful exuberance than they do.

    But there is often a huge slice of luck in these things. BB5 Stuart, for example, was really no more interesting than Sam, but lucked into being part of a group that entertained people, and also into a romance where he was seen as the nicer party. On his own he would have spent the entire series lying round in a dreamy haze, occasionally saying things like , "yeah".

    I like Sam. When Charlie/Dex /Callum were assigning descriptions to the hm's when the "Kindest" came up, most of the hm's said SAM, so he must be doing somehting right. I think he has been totally overshadowed by the "big" characters and if BB play fair, he should collect a few new fans.

    I think he gets left behind a bit because a lot of them forget to look at him while they're speaking, so half the time he's not got a clue what's being said or what's happening. I'd imagine that when there are a lot of HM's together that it can be exhausting trying to keep up with the conversation, especially when they all speak at once and some are looking away from him.

    I think he secretly misses Jemima fawning all over him, the poor lad is a bit lost now.

    He is a very nice boy, no doubt, but he is so boring!

    Problem is that sort of housemates reach to final. It is annoying.

    I agree :)

    I'm thinking a pool may change the dynamics and moods and keep thinking that Sam and Sophie will get close despite their current 'tension'.

    I like Sam, he's ok and the expanding winkie thing was probably a quick witty one-liner he came out with that cracked his mates up so he has played it to death, harmless enough and I agree he has no other fun minded HM's to bounce off so I don't think we are seeing fun Sam sadly :(
