Poor Sam

[Robbing the Dead]

What other housemates have burst into tears when it's been announced that they are leaving? It was very uncofortable watching. I just wanted to hug her. And stupid booing people.

[smellslikesomeghost]

I thought the crowd were quite sympathetic. It seemed that they switched from boos to cheers when they realised how upset she was.

[somethingbiblical]

It sounded to me like there were only about 2 or 3 people in the crowd booing, I went all smiley and happy inside when she got loads of cheers, so I didn't get why the rest of them inside were getting so paranoid and upset that she "got loads of boos". I think this is the turning point for Grace's crew. They somehow managed to get over the fact that Sezer got the loudest boos of anyone anywhere ever, but they can't ignore the fact that Sam got tonnes of cheers and then it's now plainly obvious that EVERYONE HATES GRACE

*Oh and good on Big Brother for making that excellent montage of the Sam/Lea thing to show Sam what a bitches Grace and Lisa are

[MoondialSlater]

And thanks for clarifying that Lisa did say "arse-licking."

[somethingbiblical]

Big Brother should have put THAT on the widescreen. Big Brother "surprises" have got so lazy recently. Remember in BB5 when they showed them all who nominated who? Now THAT was a good surprise. "Only one person nominates" is an old trick is it not? And it's not that exciting really.

[MoondialSlater]

Their "surprise" should've been a sudden announcement that the crowd have spoken and even though she wasn't nominated the door is open and can Grace fuck off now.

I do rather heart Sam. She's so sweet and endearing and innocent and cute.

And also... 17 housemates this series... surely that's the most ever on UK BB?

And still no George replacement! I thought Sam did really well, the crowd were fairly kind to her which must have helped. I felt bad that instead of a best of clip package all she got was seeing the housemates slag her off.

[Tracy-Ann Oberman]

When the golden winner came in it struck me how few housemates are left (6 went in the first 2 weeks!)

We really need a Kinga and Eugene-style combo to come in and liven things up.

[Ezzie]

The Golden Housemate thing seemed kinda fixed-I don't like the new housemate but she is so Big Brother.

[WhiteNoiseMaker]

She has one of those weird voices that sound on the verge of crying all the time. She looks like a refugee from Night and Day. I hate her already*

Yay for Sam not getting booed. OK so she was a bit fixed-grin creepy but only people like Sezer and Grace deserve boo-age.

^{*of course everyone who goes in gets their portion of hate, guilty until proven innocent in my Big Brother book.}

[Rooneyboy]

I really warmed to Sam, bless her. She was too nice for that house anyway !

Indeed, but you can't do it again any time soon or the contestants will be wise to the possibility (as it will be more than just a one-off) and will be more cautious in their diary room explanations and bitching.

I thought that the booing for Sam was unfortunate. Since when has trying too hard been a good reason for such hatred? (Again, I've been away, so may have missed some massive bitch fest where she spat in Glynn's Rarebit or something) I really want to slap some of the crowd and ask them what they think they're doing, and whether they realise that Sam, Grace, whoever may be a twat for agreeing to go into the house at all, it doesn't stop them being human - bitches or not, Sam did not shit on your mother, and Grace didn't rub it in. "It's just panto" says Davina. It's a crap excuse for the drones that they ship in each week not understanding the difference between fiction and fact.

That sounds like Thought For The Day, doesn't it? I'm calling Radio 4!

I shall, of course, completely change my mind tomorrow and say 'they deserve all they get', but this is my Rant For Today.

[somethingbiblical]

Do you think they will show the housemates Suzie's nominations on the screen?

It is. Weirdly, in my geekiness, I named and counted them all, from every series. There are 94 (93 and two halfs) and 116 with Celebrity BB. Now, can you name them all?

I felt strangely proud of myself when I got them all.

I thought it seemed fixed - because Nikki was shouting number 14 before the ball was pulled out and then it turns out she already knows most of the people in the house from auditions.

Out of 30 or so people it seems too much of a coincedence they picked her.

Also the story that her husband spent £6,000 on Kit Kats seems a bit unlikely.

As for poor Sam, I'm glad she's gone, she was boring on screen, she'll be a lot better off out of there. But Grace must be kept IN! I want her slowly tortured over the whole summer, I want her to be scared about leaving because the public hate her so much.

[Robbing the Dead]

The problem with keeping her in is that there could be a Jade scenario where everyone ends up loving her.

It stunk didn't it? Especially when you find out that she was a stand in for BB5 or something. Boo BB. Boo!

[Robbing the Dead]

I dunno... How could have have fixed it? The only way would have been if all the balls were number 14.

[Tracy-Ann Oberman]

I doubt that all the balls were 14 but I found it very disappointing. I was looking forward to a normal member of the public joining the freakshow and instead we get yet another model with a boob job who has applied to get in for years, actually been in the house for the dry run and seemed to know half the housemates. Kind of defeated the object of the golden ticket winner!

[Robbing the Dead]

I think Suzie is normal. Apart from the tits she seems like a normal lady. I think her personality it too dull, and that's why they never picked her.

If you compare her with Lea, who has the tits, but also looks a mess, is messed up in the head, and is partial to a KY, Piss and Arse cocktail.

[audrey notwhatsheusedtobe]

Sam's eviction night actually renewed my faith in the masses of Britain (although it was admittedly primed by Sezer's landslide eviction).

They were all set to boo her (for no reason at all) but when it was obvious she was upset she got a big cheer instead. Even Bloody Davina was good with her. Then we had the fabulous "Get Grace Out!" chanting. It nearly brought a patriotic tear to my eye.

Despite the fact I could have done without seeing her wanking, Sam is lovely and is well out of it.

I think these are the three main reason why she left over Nikki.

[somethingbiblical]

I don't see how it could have been a fix because the housemates would have seen the numbers on some of the balls before the machine started up, and even if more than 1 of the balls had been numbered 14 to give her a bigger advantage, they might have seen that.

Sam really needs to get some new clothes.

[Bungle]

They can't possibly have fixed it - if they'd done that, why pick her?!
