Unbelievable.  And John James' odds are drifting noticably.  What gives there?

It probably has to do with John-James being a whiny hypocrite and Sam being far more open and consistent. I imagine that viewers feel they can trust Sam's character.

Haha That's great news!

Well the JJJ army on FB happen to be huge Sam fans now as well.  One thing that pleased me was there are more "Josie to win" comments then there are "John James to win" comments these days.  Josie winning would be a God-send compared with the prospect of either John James or Sam winning.

Well I hope Sam goes on to win

I have to disagree with that. Josie has had an easy ride, riding the waves of her house romance under the duvet. Outside of her often crude humour, there isn't much to her. Her personality pretty much consists of "Leave me be, I'm on my period" and "Do you love me, John James?". When I think back over the 9 weeks, that is 90% of what she has brought to the show.

I used to like her a lot. A lot! But it wore thin. It doesn't help that Big Brother has shoved her down our throats.

At this point, I think I'd rather John-James win ahead of Josie.

It could be worse CoughegomaniacJJcough.

What has he done to become favourite he has been in the house two weeks

As it stands right now I'd be happy to see Sammy or Andrew win.

Sam has been awful to Josie, calling her a fat slag, miss piggy, saying it should be illegal for her to wear a bikini.  So not really that easy of a ride.  However, despite the terrible comments he's made it comes as no suprise to me that he is favourite to win.  Nastiness has ruled supreme all series.

Me too monkey.

I don't see why the rules should only apply to Sam in this case. Josie has called him a skinny runt, and 'Where's Wally' due to his hair and glasses, and other things that I can't quite recall. If we're going to call people up for insults, lets call Josie up too.

Yes and I know he took it in good part but that was quite a vicious wedgie she handed out.

While I don't condone Sam's personal insults regarding Josie's looks (or anyone else's for that matter), in many ways he has said a lot of the things that I have been  shouting at my TV for weeks now, and I think that may explain his popularity .

Attah girl LL

To be fair, I think that was John-James and Dave.

When Josie says things I guess it is considered tongue in cheek, whereas others are just rude.

I agree Mathematics

OK well first of all I seem to remember that it was Dave that was mostly responsible for that, and secondly let's not forget that the only reason Sam is still in the house at all is because Josie decided not to complain to BB after Sam thrust his crotch in her face.  Something he still earned a warning for.  People have been ejected for far less in the past...

I agree Spider.... but the rules seem to have gone out of the window for this BB... otherwise , let's face it, half of them would have been out on their ears by now

I'm amazed!! I can't stand him. There are so many irritating  things about him.

I'll be very annoyed if he wins. (Mind you I have liked very few BB winners.)

I like sam, but he does not deserve to win. Over the weeks corin and josie have both made me laugh out loud, corin more so.  He has been a bit controversial but thats not enough to win. Its almost not fair if he walks in and gets the money for nothing.

She was insulting him as well remember. He does it for banter, which he admits and apologises if Josie gets offended, which she often does but doesn't admit it too Sam, just to the others.

He's no bully.

I guess some folk could tolerate that more than some HM's ,who have with the help of the production team, ruined what could have been a good series.

JJ is still there after an assault on Sunshine, she didn't complain either.

Sam is probably popular because he single-handedly wrenched Big Brother out of the tedious mind-bogglingy boring clutches of the Duvet Twins.

*Prometheus has hit the ball outta the park* (Plays baseball fanfare)

Let's play ball!!

Home Run 

but sam is now just like the rest....he's no longer contraversial....he kept it up for a few days and now he's being the h/mate he said he didn't want to be....i remember when he said 'oh they all want to be friends and stuff ' and he didn't appear to want that....he caused upset for a few days and now he's shut up...he's no more interesting than joe john for example

im pleased for sam,

He'd be better if he did not speak.
Although, even then.....
