SAM NEWELL

22, PROJECT MANAGER, AUCKLAND He’s a self-proclaimed mama’s boy who likes women with confidence and strong opinions. The cheeky former “party monster” hopes the show will be the clean slate he needs and says, “Behind all the banter, I’m actually sensitive and care what people think.” Sam admits he falls hard and fast, and is looking for someone with a playful side. “One time, I met a lovely girl at the club and woke up bach at her in Whangamata. Safe to say, I didn’t make it to work the next day!” Which three items would he want if stranded on a desert island? “My mum, a barbecue and a knife.”
