David Appreciation Thread

As I'm sure others have posted previously Sam gives people with disabilities a negative stereotype. His Big Brother experience is not the first time that he's been accused of bullying nor do I believe that it will it be the last. I have a friend who, without giving her disability away as it would make her instantly identifiable, competed on the same Australian national teams as Sam. She also happens to be a pretty big BB fan. Her first reaction to seeing Sam enter the house was, "I wonder how long it will take him to become this season's biggest bully." For what it's worth Sam never bullied her but she witnessed on numerous occasions what would be considered over the top bullying.

He's the type of person who feels that because he has a disability he can get away with whatever behavior that he likes. He does this by offering the same tired excuse, "Do you know how much I've been bullied myself? Why would I then bully somebody else?" Which I'm surprised was not his exact quote in the newspaper article.

There's two quite good posts up over on Oswin's What We Don't See thread. There is an unedited, and quite long, chat between Dave and Ryan in the treehouse as they reflect on the season that was, and then an interview, with some interesting comments about Skye as the winner.

Ryan and David on the Best Bits of BB

Reflection is a favourite pastime of the Housemates – and not just because of all those shiny surfaces and glass-panelled walls!

With only 9 days to go, Ryan and David are starting to get nostalgic for the game that was. Poring over the pages of their time in the House they reflected on favourite moments, recalling everything from heated arguments … to head injuries?
