Quite a few posts have stated that a winner like Sam means that the show will attract a dull type of HM which will bring the show down, but I don't believe that this is true; I think that more chancer-types will see what Dexter has tried to do (ineptly) and failed at, and try to enter the house with an ulterior motive. It is more likely that we will have a house full of Dex and Gina types rather than a house full of Sam types in the future - that will make many happy, but not me. Sam was crowned the winner though, so hopefully that says something about they type of HM the majority want to see.”

Great post. I agree with this. I watch it as reality tv, not a game show, so I like HMs to be real. I zone out when a 'character' is on - they have nothing I want to hear. That's why, after initially adoring Dexter, I got very bored with him and treated a lot of his scenes as an ad break and popped to the loo or made a snack while he was on. While the ordinary Joe or Josephine Soap can still win over the fake or manipulative 'big characters' I'll still watch.
