‘Glee’ season 6 spoilers: Chord Overstreet’s Sam versus … hypnosis?
There are times when you can really tell that a show is in its sixth season, and we are starting to see that in the new synopsis Fox released this week for the “Glee” episode “The Hurt Locker: Part One” airing on January 23. This is the fourth episode of the season, and things are going to get a little crazy in particular for Sue Sylvester and one of her schemes.
We figure that we could explain it here, but rather than being overly repetitive in this article, why not just give you the aforementioned official take instead? Be prepared to either laugh or be somewhat upset:
“Rachel tries to make a deal with Will, so that his glee club purposefully underperforms at their invitational. Meanwhile, Sue is busy meddling and hypnotizes Sam into making a move on Rachel to throw her off.”
To say this whole hypnosis storyline throws us off would be a gross understatement. We’re honestly shocked that the show going in this direction. This is the first time that anything regarding Rachel Berry and romance has been mentioned on the show since Cory Monteith’s death, and we do figure that it would happen eventually. We feel like the last thing that the Finn character would want would be for Rachel to spend the rest of her life alone and mourning him, and some time has passed since his death.
With that being said, hypnosis? It’s such a weird way to bring that idea about, but we suppose the intention is to introduce the idea of Rachel and romance with humor, that way it does not come across as forcing the issue. It’s also hard to say if there will ever be anything big for Sam and Rachel anyway, or that Rachel will have any romantic arc this year. With saving the glee club, she has a ton on her plate as-is.
We almost feel bad for Chord Overstreet, given that fans weren’t too fond of him and Quinn together, or the time he was with Brittany. It’s not his fault these are his stories! Mercedes seemed to be the one love interest for him most out there could get behind.
This is the latest surprising story for the show, given that the episode before this in “Jagged Little Tapestry” is going to feature a Becky Jackson story that you probably did not see coming. For now, let us know what you think of this plotline in the comments, and head over here to get some further TV news courtesy of our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo: Fox.)

I think anything other that Samcedes as end game would be false – Please put them back together they both deserve a happy ending and they are the second longest relationship on the series streching from season 2 – episode 6 x 2. beaten only by Klaine
Not a Samcedes Fan
January 28, 2015 @ 3:28 am
Funny
I stopped watching because of Samcedes. Their relationship is so forced and there is no emotional value. No sexual chemiy at all. Fabrevans were perfect together. Their voices and just them together. You’re only saying Sam makes sense with Mercedes is because they have no sgnificat other. Bring back Fabrevans and have Mercedes date a famous rap star and Puck can go with Rachel. Take some risks. I don’t even watch the show and I’m pissed at Samcedes.

I noticed the sparks between Sam and Rachel when he visited with Blaine last year and I hoped Glee would explore a Rachel/Sam relationship! I really like Rachel and Sam together and I love the idea of Rachel finding love again! Finn would want Rachel to move on and be happy!

It is sad that this hypnosis, elevator, and bear thing is happening this season. It is also sad that the article was nicely written but the comments section turned into the usually Sam girlfriend competition zone. Then putting this character down because people want him with this other character. Then people putting down the article because the author stated opinion about the storyline.

Yes, I see what you’re saying and, yes, I’ll admit got carried away. This plot is sad. Aside from all the shipping issues, I’ve noticed there is an underlying pattern of how Glee handles Sam’s character. It seems he gets into situations where he gets taken advanced of, mostly by women. In S3, we learned Sam lost his virginity at the strip club he worked at in Kentucky when he was desperately earning much needed cash for his family. It’s safe to assume he lost it to an older woman. In last year’s finale he was sexually harassed, again on the job. The photographer used her power to get what she wanted. Keep in mind Sam is 19, still a bit naive and was scared as hell that he would lose his dream if he didn’t cooperate. He backed away from her, he continued to say no, yet the woman still cornered him. When someone says no repeatedly and is ignored, that’s harassment. He said after the kiss, he cried while the photographer continued taking pictures of him. In this upcoming plot Sam is used as a pawn in one of Sue’s schemes; she’s his boss. Once again he is used by a woman in a position of power. It’s also sad that no one really raises this issue about his character. If this were happening to a woman people would be more upset or at least notice the problematic way the character is being used, but Sam’s a guy and is assumed that he can handle it or he’s okay with it. I think Glee has missed a great opportunity to treat this in a way where the audience can be enlightened and see these sort of issues happen to men, too. But the story lines are done too haphazardly for most people to get that message. It’s a shame.

To me the truly sad thing is – that a storyline is being judged before it’s even aired. Aside from all the shipping nonsense going on here (organized via twitter), I plan to watch the episode and then decide if the storyline is rubbish.

How are people still shipping Sam with anyone? He falls in love with any female that smiles at him, I can’t take him seriously anymore. I know he’s a 19 year old guy, but still…his love life gets way too much focus. I hope Rachel stays single and focuses on herself. Sam would benefit from being single as well. He needs some time to grow up a little.

January 3, 2015 @ 5:14 pm
I do still see hope for Samcedes but I’m beyond caring. I’m going to be popping champagne whilst I watch Ratchet Berry fail (even if it is for only a little while), Samchel receive even more intense hate and this show finally fade into oblivion. Samcedes, Mercedes (plus Tina, Artie) they deserved better from this show, they deserved to be more than props, and I hope those actors and actresses move onto better things. Especially shows that have writers that can actually write for minorities and don’t continue to give a horrible character everything they want.

I really hope for Samcedes to be endgame too. But RIB has done some very questionable things in the past. It’s funny I stopped watching glee after season 3 because I thought the quality of the show had greatly diminished. Only to find out that samcedes was being brought back in season 5, so I started watching again for the ship. I just don’t see why they would bring them back with all these moments of foreshadowing (5×16 church scene, 5×19, 5×20) only to scrap them away for the benefit of Rachel Berry’s love life. I personally would be fine with the hypnosis thing, helping Rachel realize that she is finally open to love and that she is ready to start dating again, but not to prep Rachel and Sam as a couple. If they hadn’t brought Samcedes back, I wouldn’t care as much. So yeah I’m a little worried with how the storyline is going. I don’t know if i’ll be tuning in if Rachel and Sam do date after all that Sam/Mercedes build up it would be such a waste.

January 3, 2015 @ 6:28 pm
Exactly. It’s always that “I’m a strong independent black woman. I don’t need no man” bs. Mercedes was one of the originals and the only actually relationship Glee honestly explored with her was Samcedes (we saw barely any Shane/Mercedes and Puckcedes wasn’t genuine) but even. Now they’re trying to make Samchel happen. Seriously so they’ll be Samchel, Klaine Brittana, possibly tike maybe even kitty/Artie so what about Mercedes she’s supposed to be by herself. Mercedes the “sassy diva” glee can only write stereotypical black characters. It’s fine that she’ll have no boyfriend, it’s fine that she’ll remain a virgin, it’s fine that she must either have a successful career OR a boyfriend smh. Excuse my language but f*ck glee.
Yeah I drifted by season 4 and only came back mid season 5 for Samcedes so I have no problem ditching this show. I don’t like Rachel’s character but I do understand that it makes sense for her to move on but I don’t understand why it couldn’t be with someone else.
rox
January 3, 2015 @ 6:12 pm
oh and I completely agree with how minorities are portrayed on the show. Poor Tina especially and even Artie, we still have no clue of why he’s back in Lima, even Mercedes. I don’t want that ‘single, independent woman who don’t need no man’ for Mercedes ending. I’m wonderign if Mercedes is back in Lima to fight for Sam? That would be nice to see actually.
Ceetay09
January 3, 2015 @ 4:49 pm
Despite what some here think i don’t *hate* Rachel. I stopped liking her when she went ballistic over Santana auditioning to be an understudy for a part Rachel ditched a few weeks later. I just don’t know how Sam will put up with her behavior. He’s not Finn. I guess time will tell. And I agree, I sense a love triangle brewing in the 2nd half of the season between Sam, Mercedes and Rachel.

I truly believe that Rachel fans would not want a relationship that started off as a guy being hypnotized (keep in mind that this isn’t hypnotized to fall in love/in like with her but to lead her on and make her THINK that he likes her.) I’m not necessarily saying that she shouldn’t find love because obviously, that’s what the fans want (I would think it would be for her to work her way back into broadway because that seemed like her ultimate dream).
But are so called ‘samchel’ fans telling people that they like this pairing because they supposedly have the ‘same interests’ (I would like someone to list these interests by the way) and ‘just fit right’ or is it because they seems to be no straight single male other than Sam around that could be her next new love. Truth of the matter is if they brought in a handsome new man (quite possibly a teacher) to McKinley ‘samchel’ fans would not exist.
Congrats that Rachel is the female lead but to be honest most people watch for the supporting characters like Klaine (seems to have the biggest fanbase), Brittana (2nd largest maybe), Samcedes, Quick, Artie, Tina etc. Since glee has gotten so bad people are watching more for ships than actual story lines. I’m not saying that there aren’t a lot of Rachel fans out there because there are, I just find it hard to believe that Rachel fans would actually want her to end up with Sam. A guy who has said constantly that he wants to marry and build a family with Mercedes and how Mercedes is the one, how six months later he is still in love with her. Keep in mind Rachel herself told Mercedes that Mercedes and Sam are soulmates. Their break up wasn’t a nail to the coffin, it was actually quite promising, it ended positively. It wasn’t showing how incompatible they were it was actually showing how well they complement and complete each other. Idk why people are so bitter about the dog thing, and I think some people missed the point of episode 5×19 in regards to Sam/Mercedes relationship and even Sam’s story line as a whole (or they pretended to)
I think what is going to happen is that they are going to do an overly done, unnecessary Sam/Mercedes/Rachel love triangle, I don’t see any other reason why RIB would bring them back in season 5 and endgame them, there and then. From a writer stand point, I don’t see how they are going to make Sam and Rachel endgame, it would not make sense and it would not be believable. Especially since they for some reason revived the Samcedes storyline after forgetting that they ever existed as a couple for a season and a half. But hey to each their own I guess.
javier90
January 3, 2015 @ 7:26 pm
What part of they were gonna do it but realized it was still too early did you not get? They were going to do Samchel but they realized that since Finn died 3 episodes prior that it was a bit too soon so they shelved it until now. That’s all they did and in the mean time they explored Samcedes and broke them up once again for the third time and I’m sorry but I completely disagree. The entire time in the NYC arc they consistently showed how incompatible these two are and that’s what the writers did in the end. They’re using Mercedes as an obstacle for Sam and Rachel, it’s not the other way around no matter what some of you think of Rachel.
Emma89
January 3, 2015 @ 7:33 pm
Okay, yeah sure because Mercedes is the ‘obstacle’ to the lovers/unexpected soul-mates that are Sam and Rachel. Yup you’ve convinced me, it all makes sense now…
javier90
January 3, 2015 @ 8:03 pm
Have you not read the spoilers? Makes it pretty clear what route they’re going with this storyline. Anyways I can see that there a bunch of Rachel haters in the comments and it’s absolutely pointless arguing logically with people that would fling words like “delusional” or “racist” like it’s nothing.
B
January 3, 2015 @ 8:28 pm
Do the spoilers say Sam/Rachel are endgame. And who flung around the word Racist?
javier90
January 3, 2015 @ 9:33 pm
No but the spoilers say it’s not a rebound relationship especially when you look at the songs they’re singing in 6 and 10. 6 is a very well known song from the musical Promises, Promises which is about never falling in love again. They bond over their unluck with love and then in the end start to fall in love with each other themselves. The other one is a heavily confirmed(thanks to 3 spoiler sources) as being Accidentally in Love. So again…yeah.
Well people are calling Rachel “rachet” (cute) btw, but as Mercedes stans I can see they have no sympathy for the bitch that stole everything from the angel Mercedes.
Mercedes is not the lead. Never has been never will be. Have you seen how the writers have treated her and Samcedes? It’s saying a pretty clear message that these two are incompatible and they don’t like them. They broke them up twice off screen then had them not communicate for a season and half then when they wanted todo Samchel, they realized it was still toe arly so to kill time they explored Samcedes for a third time and then ultimately again broke them up and this time in a very finality matter. Nothing like Finchel’s break up at the end of S3 and before Finchel’s break up they were perfectly happy together, not so much Samcedes. They went through a petty issue every episode.
B
January 3, 2015 @ 10:31 pm
Yeah that’s great didn’t answer my question though. Who there around the word Racist? You seem keen to dismiss our comments since we apparently throw around the word Racist like its nothing as if I don’t know what racism is. Please.
Oh and I will call Ratchet Berry Ratchet because I don’t like her and I have good reason to. She’s a terrible character, a horrible friend and she’s said many offensive things. But what can I expect from writers who cannot write anything but the stereotypical black loud sassy independent angry woman. Which is why Mercedes fans, who don’t think she’s an angel, but believe she deserves better than that.
I’m not going to talk about. Finchel and compare because that wasn’t even a healthy relationship. It was based around Rachel, like all her friendships and relationships are.
Anyway in my original comment I stated I still had hope for Samcedes but I’m not stressing over it. Glee is unpredictable, Samchel could be endgame I still doubt it, I don’t doubt they’ll date though. And if they do that’s great it’ll be bs because despite you thinking the Samcedes break-up was final Sam did say to Mercedes no matter what or who he was with he’d rather be with her. So I will be laughing at every single damn Samchel scene.
Oh and what you call petty arguments which involved Race, getting a dog together
B
January 3, 2015 @ 10:32 pm
Etc, were arguments they actually talked about and resolved. Unlike many of the glee couples they talked about it. Oh plus they lived together.
But whatever I’ll be moving on to shows that can actually write for people like me.
emma89
January 3, 2015 @ 11:14 pm
You know you can’t convince me otherwise, logically speaking Sam and Mercedes should be endgame. I know who the main character of the show is, but hey guess what? I watch for the supporting characters, they are way more compelling. That being said I want Rachel to find love, but not with Sam because I pretty much disagree with all your points. Either way she is going to have a happy ending because like you said she is the ‘lead’ character. My concern is with the supporting characters and how their storyline is going to go this season. Klaine, Artie, Samcedes, Tina and Brittana. Sam and Mercedes happen to be my favorite characters so of course I’d want them to end up together. No one called you ‘racist’ (I’m white so I don’t see how that would work..)
Oh and by the way the only confirmed spoiler is epsiode 6, the rest were proved to be foilers. If they are true then all well and good with the samchel stans.

January 3, 2015 @ 11:27 pm
You don’t know by now??? The person behind the blog who said Samchel was dating in secret and wasn’t a rebound and the twitter account saying they have a duet in 10 is a troll. Their infos are false. It became obvious when that person said that Rachel, Tina and Mercedes would sing I’m So Excited in 8. When in fact its the Troubletones and the moms of the brides and grooms who willsing it.

January 4, 2015 @ 3:35 am
…I know the source you’re referring to and that’s not even close to the ones I’m referring to but thank you. There was a tumblr called gleespoilery, gleespoilery had there entire tumblr taken down immediately after posting tons of spoilers. Two of which were Samchel are dating and it’s not a rebound. They feel something for each other but they haven’t said “I love you” yet, but give it time. They also posted Accidentally in Love as one of their songs as well and that post got taken down immediately. There are two other valid sources so even though it’s not completely confirmed, it sure is definitely looking likely. But time will tell.
Mercedes can get her Grammy’s and find a man off screen, she’s a supporting character. We don’t need to know everything about her as much as some people may want to. Rachel is the lead, if you do not like that fact too freaking bad.

Okay so if people think the hypnosis is this much of a joke, what do you guys think of the being trapped in the elevator? And the live bear at dinner? Hmm, silly or not this has Sue Sylvester tracks all over it. Some of her plans are very cartoonish but bottom line is that Sue is the one that really gets the ball moving on Klaine/Samchel development and Samchel and Klaine will parallel one another just like in the past how many times Klaine and Finchel did.

Blahaa,some salty feelings on here…. Right about that not being in the same ball park. Samcedes was always better and more Mature. And can say the same about Finn and Rachel in the written off department. Reaching and thirsting for Samchel,because you can’t get Finchel no more is sad at best. And Um,when did RIB ever said they wanted Rachel and Sam to happen. Where are these lies coming from? Mercedes can always have Artie comment. Bull…. at best just because it’s your fave. Amber Riley and her character Mercedes can just get thrown away. She don’t matter right? Mercedes don’t get a romance and happy ending right. No only Rachel deserves that. You got to be delusional to think Rachel and Sam is going to be something serious. Just,cause Rachel is the lead. Don’t mean she’s more important. Than the rest of the cast. Cause,unfortunately she’s not. Oh all those rumors about Rachel and Sam about getting together are just that rumors. Not confirmed by professional/reliable sources so. Got to be thankful this show is ending so Amber Riley can be free and pursue a ”successful” music career. This fandom.

January 3, 2015 @ 9:29 pm
Didn’t you know? Rachel’s happiness is more important than anybody else because she’s the lead! She’s no one’s midgame…! although Sam told Mercedes “No matter who I’m with, no matter what I’m doing, I’d rather be doing it with you.” But that doesn’t count because they broke up and put the nail in the coffin of that “incompatible” relationship. Mercedes? Why should we care? She’ll do just fine being by herself because she’s just a bit supporting player who doesn’t deserve to be with her one true love, even though she was one of the original 5 Glee club members. And Sam? He’ll be perfectly happy with Rachel. Better even. He’ll finally bring out all those pent up feelings his been hiding for the past 5-6 years that we’ve never seen on-screen… okay maybe a few short glances and a few rubs on his chest in one episode. That’s enough to bypass all of the grand gestures he’s ever made to Mercedes, right? Because this is Rachel we’re talking about. She is all that matters.
Haha! *roll eyes*

January 3, 2015 @ 2:14 am
Honestly people are getting extremely defensive with the pro-Samchel rhetoric. You want to like and support this even though it takes Sam being hypnotized to even look Rachel’s way, go ahead but what does that say about how much Glee is caring about the “leading lady”? Just because some may find a character they care about to have importance doesn’t mean that others characters are not just as important to the fans who support and root for them. News flash not everything has to be about Rachel. Yes, they may end up making these 2 end up together, and maybe stretch it so far and to some how say they actually care for each other. But that does not change the fact that Sam cared for Mercedes and they had a mature, beautiful and a loving relationship free of any meddling to get them together. If Mercedes could end up with Artie why can’t Rachel she’s had much more interaction with him in S5 than she had with Sam for the whole previous 5 seasons. Also, why must it be Rachel who gets to have the happy ending and romance and Mercedes is not entitled to the same. Just because you are a lead character doesn’t mean the writers have to pull a relationship out of their badly writing asses to let Rachel continue to have what Mercedes already have or had. I guess since Rachel couldn’t make it on Broadway or in Hollywood and Mercedes is out there having a successful tour and record deal Rachel gets to have the guy who was still in love with another woman before she pursues him. Whatever, sometimes it seems like some folks just want Mercedes to end up with nothing, why is that?
Laura
January 3, 2015 @ 1:42 am
How about we wait and see before trying to make these kind of jumps. I doubt this is played for laughs. I do believe Samchel is a very serious thing and could even be endgame. If people don’t like that, oh well. Samcedes broke up last season in a very mature way and yes I know the spoiler that Sam says he still loves Mercedes but guess what there are other spoilers way after that episode that support Samchel.
Rachel is not a midgame for anybody on the show, PERIOD! She’s the female lead/star of the show. Mercedes unfortunately does not have as much or even half the importance Rachel has. Rachel is gonna get her happy ending including romance over Mercedes and hey Mercedes can always get with Artie.
Ceetay09
January 3, 2015 @ 4:36 am
But why does she have to be with Sam? She can have her endgame with someone else like Jesse St. James or a new love interest. Sam is not a stand in for Finn. Oh, and how big of you to throw Mercedes a bone and give her Artie. She is no one’s consolation prize.
Laura
January 3, 2015 @ 4:55 am
Um no. Because see Finn hated both Jesse and Brody. Do you think that Finn would be happy about those two? No he would not, meanwhile he knows that Sam would treat Rachel the way she should be treated. Finn would approve of Sam unlike the other boys.
I think you need to get over it. Sweetie Mercedes is not a main character nor has she ever been one. She’s always been a side character and she sure as hell isn’t more important than the female lead/star of the damn show.
You do realize that they’ve wanted to do Samchel since S5 right but it was way too soon so to stall time till this year they went through a run of Samcedes and then broke them up a THIRD time. I think that’s pretty much dunzo.
RIB does not care about Samcedes. I think even you can realize that by now.
Ceetay09
January 3, 2015 @ 5:08 am
Um, we’re not talking about what Finn wants. We’re talking about Rachel, Sweetie. if RIB didn’t care about Samcedes they never would have brought them back in S5. Of course Sam will treat Rachel right, but would Rachel treat Sam right? She’ll try to use and control him like she did with Finn. Sam deserves better than that.
Also didn’t you think Rachel is a bad friend for going after someone else’s soulmate (her words, not mine)?
And didn’t Finchel break up THREE times? And we all knew they were endgame, so that argument is null and void.
Laura
January 3, 2015 @ 5:27 am
Well
1. Samcedes has never EVER been in the same ball park as Finchel or any of the serious couples. Why? Because they get either written off screen or they ignore each other completely for a year and a half. Mercedes also makes fun of dating Sam twice and breaking up with him. NONE of the other couples did that. N.O.N.E especially not Finchel. So let’s not try to do this kay. The writers have shown time and time again that they do not care for Samcedes and they used this last go around to basically nail that point on the head by calling them incompatible.
2.It’s also clear you have a very severe hate against Rachel because you just can’t bare to deal with the fact that she’s the lead and your girl is a supporting character that comes and goes. Tough luck, go watch another show. No it doesn’t make Rachel a bad friend to realize she has feelings for Sam that she thought she suppressed(and I never bought that talk, that was just Rachel trying to assure Mercedes). Sam and Mercedes broke up, Mercedes broke up with him. Hell no Rachel is not a bad friend by pursuing a relationship with someone for the first time since Finn freaking DIED! You disgust me and you clearly have Rachel hate goggles on, get over it honey. Samchel is a go, Samcedes is their obstacle. Rachel isn’t a midgame for anybody. She’s the star it’s HER story. You’re just tagging along for the ride, like Mercedes.
3 No you seem to not be understanding me. RIB have gone on record as saying that wanted Samchel but it was too early, did you miss Movin’ Out? So many hints, do you know why they didn’t pursue it then? Because it was too early. So what did they do to stall time till this season, they gave Samcedes another go around, broke them up again after they fought about something STUPID every episode and Sam cheated on her. What a lovely couple of episodes you had, oh and there break up was pretty coffin sealing. Mature and pretty dang clear.
Ceetay09
January 3, 2015 @ 5:47 am
Ok, first off don’t EVER tell me to do anything. I’ll watch what I want, how I want. Second, what does it matter if Rachel’s the lead character if she rarely interacted with Sam in 5 seasons? Sorry, rubbing oil on his chest and split second glances doesn’t compare to a couple LIVING TOGETHER FOR MONTHS talking about marriage, kids, etc. and saying they are meant to be together.
Samchel wasn’t built too early. NOBODY WANTED IT. Fans and reviewers panned the hell out of it. That’s why they backed off. They also could have just as easily have Sam meet someone new in NY like he met Penny if they wanted him to have a transitional relationship.
Sam DIDN’T CHEAT. He was sexually harassed by that photographer who had the power to take his job away. Learn the difference between wanted and unwanted advances.
Oh, and Sam is soooo into Rachel that he has to be HYPNOTIZED into liking her. Oh, yeah. Real, true love in the making. LOL!
Whatever. Live in your own delusions.
Samchel = rebound, at best
Samcedes = endgame
DEAL WITH IT. Period. End of discussion.
javier90
January 3, 2015 @ 10:50 am
Samchel is the farthest thing from a rebound and in 2 months time I want you to hold on to that “delusional” word you like to spout off because you’re in for a rude awakening.
Also Sam kissed the other girl and he also did the rubber band trick God knows how many times while at the audition Sam cheated. Sam kissed another woman when he was in a relationship with Mercedes. That constitutes as cheating in every sense of the word.
The writers don’t care about things that fans don’t want. They have a story that they want to write and they will write what they want. Samchel was panned because it was too early, Finn died 3 episodes prior to Movin’Out, of course it was too early. So they went with the next plan, place it on the shelf ready to use in S6. Meanwhile they gave Samcedes another shot and then broke them up yet again. After fighting every single episode about something stupid like a freaking dog of all things.
They showed how incompatible they are in the NYC storyline, if you don’t want to accept that then I’m sorry.
Also don’t ever say that a ship with Rachel is a midgame/rebound to anybody. You will just get laughed at, Rachel Berry is no ones midship, no matter if you may CLEARLY hate her, which you definitely have shown that. She’s way more important than Mercedes and that’s not even an opinion, it’s fact.
So you take that “delusional” word you like spouting off so much because I get the feeling you’re gonna be eating those words by the time this is all said and done.

Sam was a victim of sexual harassment. The fact that many outspoken Sam stans are in these comments and not a one pointed this out because you are shipping samchel is just not surprising at all. Let people belittle his character if it makes samcedes look less legitimate is the name of y’alls game.
Klaine has been fighting and breaking up for three seasons now and they are getting married.
Samchel is a midgame for Glee’s ultimate otp Rachel and New York. He is a means to make her see Lima and the Glee club isn’t what she wants in life.

Really Mercedes can always get Artie. Girl bye…. Anything for your fave right? Because,Amber Riley and her character Mercedes is nothing. Just throw her away. You got to be delusional to think Sam and Rachel are going to something serious and become a legit couple. And all those rumors of Samchel happening are just that rumors. None came from professional/reliable sources so. Sam and Mercedes will most likely get back together. Before the series end. Just,because Rachel is lead and RIB kisses Lea ass. Don’t mean she’s the best thing about glee. Unfortunately she’s not.

Sam and Quinn aren’t a fond couple? LOL someone is REALLY out of fandom. Fabrevans is so popular as samcedes. I don’t get why they’re giving the 739383 chance to them since only Mercedes fans like thm together.

I’m in that fandom since the very start and I still here,I KNOW what I’m talking about, Not desrespecting samcedes or whatever but they never fit to me,always seemed pretty forced to make a different couple. And YES I’m a fabrevans stan and I am not hiding it. I understand you bc Sam is the best option for your fave character so do I for my precious Quinn.

I can say the same for Fabrevans. Forced. Quinn just had a baby. Then she gave Beth away. Why put her with the new guy. Sam Evans. Just to say two blondes are dating. That relationship was for status and popularity. Not love and actual feelings. If anything. Season 2 Quinn and Puck should’ve been working on their relationship. I’ve seen Klaine,Fnchel,Brittana,Quick,Tike shippers. Who support Sam being with Mercedes. Not just Mercedes fans wanting Sam with her. So yes you are incorrect. Sidenote,Sam is not the best option for anyone. When he acts like he has no brain.

um, I’m a Sam stan and I ship him with happiness. The only person that truly loved/loves him is Mercedes, no strings attached nothing. Their relationship wasn’t brought out of convenience, (like paring the remaining spares together or for popularity or for trying to get over someone) it was pure and natural. If Sam is going to end up with someone it should be Mercedes, story wise and from their history. Not only black people/Mercedes stans like the couple together.

I am sorry,who is talking about colors? I understand ur point and I respect it, but I disagree. Yes, they started to make popularity grows up but no one can deny Quinn was the sweetest and kindest with Sam. He was the first who treated her like princess, her bitchness was almost away while fabrevans. To prop finchel like so many other couples, Ryan broke up them to bc “they’re too perfect for each other”. Plus,Quinn risked everything again in “Rumours” just to help Sam. X Mas episode, S3, her madness got away when Sam came back and she helped homeless charity bc of him. S3 again “Hold On To Sixteen” she went after him with the ridiculous idea to raise Beth with him, after one talk she gets better magically. So, yeah, she cheated on him but I think she regreted it by some proofs that Glee give us. And she learned bc the only break up that Quinn cared was with Sam and she never cheated again. One thing more: every couple on Glee cheated. I am not saying it’s fine but it’s pretty hard to find a ‘clear’ ship on this show.

I love the idea of Sam and Rachel. They had chemistry in New York and he seems to the same type of sweet guy that Finn was. I do not see any chemistry between Sam and Mercedes.

Sam and Mercedes are genuinely in love with each other. Sam doesn’t use Mercedes to fill a void. Sam loves her because she brings out the best in people, she brings out the best in him. Mercedes loves Sam because he believes in her, Sam pushed her to following dreams. Fingers crossed, Cedes fights to get Sam back. Season 3 feels. I really hope Samcedes are endgame. Their adorable and hilarious together! :)

Yeah,no Sam and Rachel don’t have the same interest. How could they have anything in common when they only talked to each other maybe twice out of the whole six seasons of the show? The only thing they have in common is the skin pigment. Samcedes is one of the most mature couples in the show. They work and talk thru their problems. Mercedes let’s Sam be him. She doesn’t stop him from being himself never. And Sam supports Mercedes and her dreams. And also,Sam can be immature sometimes to be honest. That’s when Mercedes has to be the voice of reason. It’s not one sided she just has to tell him sometimes he goes too far. Listen to everyone? Majority of fans don’t want that horrible storyline to happen. Only a small select few want that foolishness. Most would rather see more Sam and Mercedes relationship development. Like seriously they got to hypnotize Sam? To even get him interested in Rachel. All that and he still tells her he’s in love with Mercedes ha. Seems to be a case of delusional stan thirsty for a ship that was never a ship. To began with. Side….the series was always supposed to end with Rachel and Finn being together. No way the final season ends with Rachel and Sam as a legit couple. So I do believe Samcedes will be back together.

As Sam said to Mercedes in S5, they are perfect for each other. Why? Mercedes holds on to her morals (when has that become a bad thing?), but she has never judged Sam. She respects and supports him. Doesn’t treat him like a shiny new object to play with. And Sam brings out her more vulnerable, silly, softer side. He believed in her when no one else did and loves her unconditionally. He’s spontaneous and idealistic; she’s cautious and practical. Together, they simply make each other better.
Rachel and Sam, on the other hand, have NO similar interests that I’ve ever seen on the show. Sam is as good natured and caring as Rachel is selfish and manipulative. How is this a match made in heaven?
Sam and Mercedes deserve their happy ending like all the other endgame ships. Glee – better make it happen.

Sam and Mercedes make sense not only because they complete each other but because they have that connection since 2 where they were introduce to us and then S3 when we could see glimpse of that love it was beautiful it was heartbreaking but it was also refreshing. And I loved to see Samcedes as a real couple in S5 they brought to the show something new and showed two completely different persons by their personalities work really well together… And their break up was just the promise of more to come for them…
Rachel deserve to find love again Finn wouldn’t want her alone but she can find that outside of glee club and not take Mercedes’s only love it’s just enough the circle of taking everything Mercedes ever had… Mercedes also deserves happiness…like anyone else. Sam deserves love too and he said it was with Mercedes he saw his future. Stop trying to make samchel happen its really not believable…

I totally agree that this is asinine and lazy writing at its finest. Those who want Sam and Rachel because of a few glances in an episode that most hated. I don’t agree that everything had to be Mercedes way or not at all. What they had was a mature relationship that involved discussing matters not storming off or throwing a tantrum like Rachel did so many times with Finn. Sam and Mercedes supported each other and loved each other on a level that was not often presented on Glee and honestly I think it confused some of its viewers. There was no tantrums, no plotting, no lying just people who trusted and loved one another faults, silliness, and all. So I don’t even know how that statement rings of any truth nor do I believe he and Rachel have or share the same interest but folks will see and say what makes it believable to accept a forced couple. From some leaked spoilers they do indeed get together (although within the same episode it was also a spoiler that said Sam will tell Rachel “he still loves Mercedes”. So those wanting a relationship started under hypnosis or while he is still in love with someone else, well I have no words. Already when the first songs premieres you can see the show going out of its way to establish some new found bond for these 2 who may have said a total of 20 lines to each other over the course of the 5 previous seasons. I’m sure they will also try to portray this as the “love of a generation” just like Ryan Murphy thinks one of his cast “is the voice of a generation” enough said right there. I would love for Sam and Mercedes to end up together but this show is about what Rachel wants at any cost to anyone else or logic.

Well, I hope that’s not the case. I think they’re having Sam and Rachel date mainly for the stupid, silly drama Sam and Mercedes don’t have in their mature relationship. I still believe Samcedes is endgame.

I agree this sounds like a joke instead of hypnosis why not introduce a hot/young/smart new teacher for Rachel that sparks her intention. Unfortunately this story-line only a sign of lazy writing. Glee just has lazy, boring, and puerile story-lines Sam and Mercedes have a strong understanding love I have no doubt in my mind that won’t be back together at the end of the season. A couple we have seen numerous times through the years they just make sense, and break up because of distance. Keep your head up Sam and Mercedes Fans this corny but true love conquers all just Finn & Rachel who broke up countless times and were supposed to be “endgame”. However was ended by great lost RIP CM.

Agree with this article. It’s a little ridiculous to hypnotize sam into dating rachel. Why does he have to date rachel anyway? Can’t they bring back Jesse st. James or better yet a new person into Rachel’s love life. The only person Sam ever made sense with was Mercedes. I would love to see them end u together especially with how the last few episodes of season 5 went in regards to them. So this whole Rachel/Sam thing is out of the blue and not at all my cup of tea. I thought they shut down that idea after the horrible reviews with the Movin’ Out episode.

All glee episode have horrible reviews now. The show is made for underdogs. That is probably the reason they put Sam and Mercedes together. It didn’t seem right. Now Rachel and sam are the talk of “not right”. If anything I believe they should do Samchel this season. It’ll show that they listen to everyone. Rachel doesn’t deserve to spend her season 6 with not telling her complete story or how her life In the future will turn out. Sam and Rachel have the same interests and sam doesn’t have to try to be something he’s not with rachel. Being with Mercedes seem to one sided. Mercedes way or the highway. I think sam and rachel would be great together. And the one episode with them flirting was better than the while last half of the season with Mercedes. Trust me.

Sam and Rachel have the same interests? Hahaha! When? They would have to had spoken to each other for more than 5 seconds within 5 seasons to know that for sure.

Come on get real here, from these past 5 seasons what interests have Sam and Rachel had/shared? And it just bafflles me that some Rachel and Sam stans want them to be together after watching 5×20 and then this whole hypnosis thing…would you really want Rachel to date a guy that was hypnotized into liking her?

I agree! I love Sam with Mercedes. It’s disappointing to see Glee go this direction with so few episodes left. Hopefully Samcedes get back together by the end of the season!
