Sam is my favourite second generation Total Drama contestant and ONE of my favourites overall but I can't help feel that he is nothing more than a seat filler to get eliminated earlier to prolong the interactions between the more important contestants.

because while he won't go far, he will help the main storyline as he allows the important guys to stay longer.
