Twincredible? You decide!
They might come across as blonde and a little bit ditzy but Big Brother twins Sam and Amanda (the pair are also known as Samanda) must be doing something right as they have reached week 7 without a nomination for eviction!
The twincredible pair, who are social work students at Manchester Metropolitan University, have graced our scenes for 50 days and look as though they could go the distance in the Channel 4 TV reality show.
Slightly worrying for someone planning a career in social work, Amanda dislikes depressed people and politics but their social skills are clearly above par as they remain free of nominations.
Their highlights so far include water fights, craftily stealing chocolate after hours, their telepathic (or psychopathic as they said) task and Amanda’s day dressed as a hotdog as a punishment for being vain.
The twins have also been in the thick of most of the fun but, do they get your vote?
Should they be evicted for crimes against social work? You decide

No – email simeon.brody@rbi.co.uk putting “no” in the subject line

What you said on our discussion forum
Here are the highlights…
“Okay so they are not everybody’s cup of tea but underneath a very thick layer of fluff and make-up the twins on Big Brother, who are both social work students at Manchester Metropolitan University, seem like nice girls.”
“I think the twins are a great advertisment for social work. I imagine they will work together when they qualify, so you will get two social workers for the price of one. I can’t imagine any crisis situation that couldn’t be resolved by two giggling twins dressed in pink.”
“The reality is they’ll probably have negligible (if any) effect either way [on the image of social work]. Although, thinking about it, I’m sure their experience of living alongside some of the most screwed up people in Britain for a few weeks will boost their credibility no end when it comes time to apply for their first social work job.”
“I think they will help to show Social Work is not all flowing pleated skirts, leather patches and cords! I guess this is the new breed of social workers going into university at 18….”
