I like the fact that he has ruffled their feathers ,certain HMS thought that they had nothing more to do ,but sit back and wait for the final.

i find him boring.......it's the same stuff rehashed with him...'i don't like you josie'......'josie you're annoying'.........'john james what do you really think of josie?'......'john james do you fancy her'.............then it's off to be irritating to someone else........he's showing no other aspect to his character

 besides, he is no worse an irritant than the other hm's, especially that full of himself muppet JoeJohn

At least he's got some of them thinking and pretending they don't know where he's coming from  

I love the way they are all sitting in the bedroom trying to suss him out.  Why not call him into the bedroom and ask him?

Oh yes, he has done his stirring - which I suspect was the intention.
But already I find it so very, very boring.
A thorn in the side quickly loses it's impact.
I would probably cope with him better if he did not speak!

I've got some catching up to do. Looks like this newbie is kicking up a storm.

apart from the fact that he irritates the hell out of me & I don't need house warfare to enjoy a bb... so I don't appreciate this stirring up of stuff...

I could appreciate him a bit more... if he was better at it.   But Sam is a hit & run merchant.  As long as he can run after throwing in his contraversal comments then he's fine... but when pinned down about what he's said he can't argue a sound point.   

He's running around thinking he's dead clever... but these comments he's making are not of his own opinions.. he didn't come to these opinions by himself...  he is saying what he thinks he will get applauded on the outside for saying.

I always hate a hm that goes in and does this.   I wasn't keen on Noirin, but I hated Bea for going in and going for her jugular.   Its going for someone because they know the crowd behind them will approve!

Hit and run merchant? Sounds like Shabby to me. Get in the BB house, do your worst and then exit when it looks like the tide is turning against you.

I would love to see Shabby & Sam in there together

I agree Ditty that Sam is not very adept at it.
His inability to argue soundly is evident.
I also agree that I don't need constant clashes to enjoy BB.
(Ditty I think this may be the 2nd time within a few days that we have agreed.
We must be more careful.    

From what I've heard of him, they'd probably have mirrored each other and formed a double act....Fagin and the Artful Dodger.

He is wearing the top hat that BB gave him as part of his task to get his suitcase back....which he failed.  Weird he's wearing it in bed though!!!

   that's how I visualise it (only I hadn't realised til you put that!)

this is the good thing about Sam being in the house..   I have found something to agree with you about! 

Oi you can pack that agreeing business up right away     

I think it's even worse than that - I think BB have primed him very well before he went in (the price of entry to the house?)    I agree with everything Brisket has said, I can't bear him, and I don't care who he's winding up - he's irritating in the extreme and I don't find anything entertaining about watching his performance and whatever fall out it causes.  It's way too fabricated for my liking (even for BB)

it is only a little outbreak of agreeingitis LL...   

I can't see an epidemic of it breaking out around here anytime soon!

I keep trying to avoid that thought...  though it does stink of it.

I don't buy or read any newspapers... so I did wonder if some of it had come from whatever they are saying.  

Or he reads forums, or the C4 site...  

or yeah... BB primed him!

Sorry LL.  It started as an accident. But it can be quite pleasant.

I would appreciate it if you watch over me though - just to make sure I don't make a habit of it.  

KaffyBaffy  ^^^^^  

I can't see it either

I shall, indeed, be watching you brisket

me too  

If you need an extra pair of eyes, I'm free!

  I feel under threat! 

I get the impression that John James is now thinking that Josie isn't very popular, out here, and will be backing up Sam's right to abuse his 'close friend', just in case.

I hope Sam will help John James shoot himself in the foot.

Other than that, can't stand the twunt.

Isn't it slightly odd that John James has not argued strongly with Sam?
A few weeks ago John James would have been like a dog with a bone relishing every opportunity for an endless argument. Confrontation and argument were his trademarks (who can forget the number of times he clashed with Ben.)
So why is he not pouncing on Sam?
Does he fear he has met his match? Or is it another tactic?

I was thinking the same thing brisket.  If anyone has given JJ cause to have a ruck, it is Sam but he has chosen not to say anything but actually defend him to an extent.

I think John James has just chilled a bit that's all. He's more comfortable in the house now, so he's less mercurial.

I also thinks he likes Sam, he makes him laugh.

josies not holding back right now live feed, shes coping well . jj1 wont say to much he will keep sam sweet he dont want sam telling josie jj sees her as a sister and he dont fancy her.josies got andrew rachel and the monk backing her up

All because Sam has knowledge of the 'outside world'. Had Mr. Pepper been a regular hm, JJ would have gone down his own hypocritical annihilate route, a la Ben.  He is only being nice because he fears that Sam could blow open the romance he has cleverly cultivated with Josie. A litle knowledge is a dangerous thing and Sam possesses this knowledge

I thought someone had already spilled those beans? Why would he worry about it being repeated?
