Sam at 50

My pleasure George, I'm still greener on him than Corin, which is probably taking it too far, but I'll leave him for now.

Don't think Corin is overpriced, but you'll get a run

Andrew price bombing to make way

Back in the 20's shortly

I haven't seen any LF of him, I fell asleep straight after the 2nd HL show, Sam's got great humour, much needed in there, but the crux is does he have humility too? Otherwise he could just be a sh1t.

He can have a run just with point 1 in this field Henry

Plenty have.

Angel traded at 7s for the virtue of being weird iirc

But to answer point 2, his humour doesn't seem overly malicious

I'm not sure he will have much humility.  IMO he seems so oblivious to the feelings and opinions of others, he's verging on Aspergers.

And to think so many of us wanted fat black man in (including me, thinking of my ANother green), who would have probably been a thick boring dullard (despite his claim to high IQ).

Andrew & Steve the immediate casualties from Sam's entrance

Andrew is SEETHING

Steve already talking about 'kicking Sam out through the fire exit'

I'd like to see him try

It's great that he doesn't seem in the slightest bit fazed by the other big "characters" in the house and the fact that they have been there for a long time, and is able to go steaming in straight away.

Unlike previous drips who just retreat into their shell.  JJ2's head is so firmly up JJJ's @rses you barely notice he is there, complete waste of space.

Steve is an utter koont

Having a nice convo with Sam last night about the work Sam does in schools etc. Nicey nicey

He could easily be buried by the prods this week, but may prove more difficult to switch off than Arnold Scharwtzenegger in that film

From Ch4:

He is also irritated by ..... really camp gay guys
His vest he's wearing right now suggests he's a gayer

and gets easily wound up by those who are loud, crazy and attention-seeking
pot kettle

Believing he'll made a good leader in the house, Sam claims he will do well in tasks by working hard to organise people and solve issues. However, this leadership role might be hard for him to get, as people who aren't his friends can quite often dislike him and find him annoying!
This could be a laugh, just what the house needs

The 'this is our house and he's an intruder' factor kicking in properly

The eviction market could be good this week

Remind me again what price we got Jonty into

Remind me again what price we got Jonty into

About 10 but Jonty, much though I loved him, had much of the sad ageing perv about him. Unlike this guy.

The aspergers angle is interesting. Would be even better if he had it

I think he went as low as 6 during the Monkety-Tunkety giggle-fit.

time to mute - smug tw@ts JJ & Dave

I think he went as low as 6 during the Monkety-Tunkety giggle-fit

I remember, that however low he got, a decent amount was matched at about 10.

I think Dave is panicked at the thought of Sam revealing detail about his koontish chats

However, the new housemate was quick to confront Josie over the comments she has made about him during the past week.

"I didn’t like what you said to other people," she said. "That’s why you're here, 'cause I went on about how annoying you are. Even Govan had a go at you."

"Yeah but look at Govan," Sam replied.

However, while Josie offered to "wipe it all clean" with the new housemate others remained unimpressed.

"You look familiar Andrew," Sam said

"Well yeah, I'm on Big Brother," retorted Andrew - leading JJ to comment that he "does not look happy with Sam's arrival".

has everyone see the headline "news" from Joe McElderly

I know, I can't believe he's straight

A bigger surprise than Ricky coming out, squares!

.


Had the same horse from a couple of different sauces this morning - SBinS's in the last at Donny.

"You look familiar Andrew," Sam said

"Well yeah, I'm on Big Brother," retorted Andrew


Very funny again from Andrew.

I really like the guy. It's a pity he's more geek freak than geek chic to most viewers.
He'd be much more popular if only he'd decided to spray paint the walls of oxford rather than study maths there.

One of your many character flaws fig.

I always hated (ramping) him

4/1 going that Willing Foe now

You still offering that 500 Cider?

Cheers squares had a bit of that.

thanks for that.off to lingfield 2nite,havnt a clue on the nags so any fancies would be appreciated

Costumes secret task

It's going to be the Sam show for at least 2 nights on the HL's

how much does it cost to sponsor a horse race ? i.e my mate is sponsoring the last at lingfield

That's his true chance GB, I'm not a layer. Or a trader for that matter. He won't win is all I'm concerned with. Unfortunately I'm having doubts about John who I have to consider has a chance now, if things go his way.

Third on the BBOL poll

I don't do polls either [:p]

run by gamblers that site i believe

Easy to say Cider, but you don't want to bet

Better chance than Andrew, Dave, Jo, JJ2, Mario, Rachel and Steve imho

always shockingly poor racing at Lingers on Sat nights.  Can sponsor a race for a about as little as a monkey I think.

Foghorn Leghorn as a tribute to Rachel

ok thanks squares,stay in the bar then me thinks

I'm always bullish in my opinions, GB, and I usually stick with them.

This year we've already had the forum banging on about Steve, then Ben, then Andrew, all no chance of winning.

I still feel John will get exposed but there is a fear that BB could help him over the line. He has enough residual popularity out there to win I think.

So a 2 horse now lads? Or 3 if we include sam ;)

A close one if they continue to hide JJ's negatives on the HL's.

A procession for Corin if they show him warts and all

That they've helped him so far is akin to calling the pope catholic, yep

They'll help Sam too, nap

oc obvious he's been helped but usually this is to set them up for a fall and keep the hm's that provide highlight footage in the house. I don't trust the prods to 'out' him whereas this can usually be relied upon, Vinnie etc, as bb usually want good to win out.

Still think Josie is in it, but only 4 runners now

Hope this Sam exposes Andrew for the counterfeit personality he is. All pretend naivete, ooooh a girl, must act all awquard to enforce the idea i'm shy and sweet. Such a fricking facade that guy has constructed.

won't help Sam imo. He's there too annoy. They will show him warts and all, as that is his purpose to wind people up.

Yep Cider, I don't trust the prods on JJ either

Plus he's actually calming down anyway. Handling Sam better than most so far

PMT probably due though

Yep, I agree cider.
They've never backed a wrong'un all the way.
As you say, they just back them to keep them in til late on for the HL's.
I guess the HM's will act out one of the HL's soon.
If it's a JJJ lovey dovey one then we're fooked. If it's the one where he attacks rachael, or something similar, then he's fooked.

As for Sam. The fact that he looks like he's just walked off the set of one of these teen dramas is a big positive for him.

I couldn't totally write him off in this field

The dreaded 'journey' looms, if they want they could show how John has transformed his behaviour during his time in the house. One feels they won't be able to resist putting the JJJ tryst to the test at some point, and wait for the fallout.

OT, Lingers for Alfie.

5.55, not often I study races as bad as this.  Fav looks solid enough but plenty short enough.  Maybe a small ew Crystallize.

6.25, odds-on fav doesn't look to have too much opposition.

6.55 extremely tight little hcap, can't cross any of them out tbh.

7.25 would fancy Imperial Warrior of not so poorly drawn. Mogok Ruby might come back to form one day, likewise Mr Skipiton, but front three look to have plenty going for them esp. the fav

7.55 I'm happy to oppose Foghorn and hope Dubai, Partout or even Silca could take him on.

8.25 desp. affair.  Maybe Burnbrake as an outsider.  Rowan Light ran a fair race here recently.

GL

If it's the one where he attacks rachael, or something similar, then he's fooked.

Not necessarily, viewers might think BB were being unfair on him by dragging it up. I was surprised it didn't sink him in that first week. It seemed he gained popularity from it.

Or he could even apologise for how he behaved.

True.
TBF to the guy he's likely to react much better than Sivvy to whatever they throw at him.

His magazine quotes or quotes from his VT and profile would be the most damaging.

He'd be much more popular if only he'd decided to spray paint the walls of oxford rather than study maths there.

Figgy

The kind of prank they do in those places is to paint green leaves around the base of post boxes and put white spots on the top (to resemble a mushroom).

Further OT stuff.
Why is Prime Exhibit 33-1? Still well handicapped imo and drop in trip will suit imo. 5 places ew appeals if you can get on.

Sporting a red tutu now

I hope Steve lamps him

SQUARES,thanks alot for spending some time on that,much appreciated

Don't think Sam can win although hes already been much more entertaining than most but i do think hes going to end the chances of a few HMs. Andrew already looks so put out, and it might bring Josie's bad side out a bit too.

Andrew really seething

He just wrestled Josie and thrust his nob into her face

Andrew or Sam

He's been warned for it apparently

DR for edit "Sam that behaviour is intolerable".

Afterwards, DR for Sam only "Give us more more more of the same".

Sam at 50 :p

What is unacceptable about shoving his knob in Josie's face?

Reading that he asked JJ1 if he was a chubby chaser

Be aswell packing his bags now, DS might find it funny but hes already finnish

Tx sq

i thought it was fooked 2 out

Very green, looks decent tho.

Sam at 14.5

five leaves left     31 Jul 10 01:06 
14 seems realistic in this field.

Can we have a reassessment fig?

Easily single figures, I reckon.

He surely must overtake Andrew on the ladder soon.

He's only been in a few days and is already polling double Andrews figures who has been in there 3 weeks.

This guy clearly has voter appeal, while Andrew clearly doesn't.

It's possible that Sam could mount a serious challenge.
He only has 2 evictions to negotiate and then we're onto the positive vote.
He's already in double figures on some polls. If he can double that in the next week or so, he's really in the running.

Andrew's polling is still terrible at 5% ish and is going backwards.
It would take a miracle for him to win from there.
Why is he 12/1?

The bully will be kicked out before long.

Sam is a bullying scum bag.

On his antics so far I suspect he'd have been clear favourite
if he'd been in since the beginning (assuming he could keep up
the energy level).

If he carries on entertaining I really can't see why a fickle  crowd would stay loyal to Corin or any of the others simply
because they've been there longer. Plus the vote may be swamped
in the final week by Johnny-come-lately voters influenced only by the last few edits.

Thankyou whoever gave me 70s on him.

You are either one of the following (or even both):

a) a ramper trying to get Sam's price down.

b) someone who doesn't read newspapers and magazines and believe they have a large say on who wins.

Or maybe I've watched the show and found him entertaining
at every appearance, rather than dull and worried about how
he/she might look to the public.

In fact the more I think about it the less I'm inclined to
lay off ANY of my green on him even if he does go to single
figures.

a and b then

I've been properly entertained by Shabby, Ben (although I can't say I liked him), JJ, Josie, Andrew and now Sam.

The rest have been pretty expendable.

Should be 7.8

n1 GB

Not bad for a chavvy youth

I thought you were lot older GB

Now hits an all time low at 4.4.

Going fav within a day or so

Sam at 4.3

Take that blocker away please and we'll have him fav within the hour

3.7 just been taken.

Now he is becoming a layable price.

I wouldn't be laying at 1.01

probably won't go odds on for another week 

ok i was wrong make that two weeks

So if he was 1.01 now you wouldn't lay him?

Do you know how foolish you would be?

1.5 surely?

Can't lose.

I was told the same with Sophie, yawn.

He's no sophie - I still don't see him winning, but absolutely fair play on the trade from 50's, jeeeysus.

It wasn't me who got the 50's this time :(
