Exactly.

Clapping after it was announced she wouldn't get her letter because of them was rude. And o she didn't, you should go back and watch it again ;)

I clapped with them.
I don't have time for that.

I was annoyed that Speidi didn't get the chance to explain why they were clapping. Rylan just told them to eff off back to America. Classy. :bored:

We all apologise even when we feel there is no reason to. Lost count the amount of times I've done it..especially to a female(no sexism) just to make life easier :laugh:

Day 19: Heidi apologies for clapping
11 mins ago
It was the clap that caused a House of strife, and tonight, Heidi has finally come clean about that ill-timed hand movement.

Chatting to the housemates in the kitchen, Heidi admitted that she hadn't meant to cause offence with her reaction. She reasoned that she just got caught up in everyone clapping and that her response was a gesture to show that she was supporting her marriage and their decision not to be separated for a task.

"I was clapping our decision to stick together, as I thought we'd be separated for days like the basement task... I didn't think about what I was doing at the time", she offered to the group.

Explaining why he clapped along with his wife, Spencer rationalised that he knew Heidi hadn't meant to clap and that he was just backing her up, "We're in the same boat. We gotta go down together".

Apologising profusely to Claire and telling all who would listen that the situation had been misconstrued, Heidi stated, "You think you're in a game, but you're not" adding, "I've got the worst timing..."

Lucky for them, the housemates are a pretty forgiving bunch, as they whole-heartedly accepted the couple's apology. Even Rylan, who was the most vocal after the clap-incident, said how glad he was to clear the air, saying he just wants to leave the House with everyone talking.

"We're all human beings, we should be talking to each other" Tricia gushed, before awkwardly hugging the pair and professing that they were both 'lovely people'.

We know what you're thinking - what a turn out for the books! We certainly didn't think we'd see a untied, happy House again, but there we go...

Is it too cynical for us to ask how long it'll last?

Christ on a bike, Tricia flip flops more than a cheap pair of sandals.

This. Rylan was the one who blew it all out of proportion, well atleast Speidi were the bigger people here :pipe:

Well yes,they obviously thought it was wrong too:hugesmile:

Rylan was the cause of the fall out he cant keep his big mouth shut.

I'm wondering if this is just a ploy to get into in the final as they know the public wouldn't like what they did(well most of them),you cant really trust them can you?I'de be a bit wary if I was Claire.

totally misinterpreted. it started off as awkward clap.

It was rude & they know it was rude.
The apology for a mistimed clap i could believe but not after the hours they spent in bed laughing & taking the p out of the fact Claire did not get her letter.
It most likely dawned on them how it would look to the public.

they apologised because they know Claire took offence. doesn't mean they intended to cause offence.

So why do it then?

EXACTLY this^

:love:

were you even bothered to look two posts up

Pretty much this, yeah. I have to say though, if the other HMs buy it, they're pretty damn stupid. I'm liking every single one in that house less and less by the minute now, because if it's one thing I can't stand it's fake and/or cowardly people. Stick to your guns!

No need to be rude,there was no need for them to do it in the first place ,you can put your spin on the 'clapping' all you want ,why do people clap? usually because they are pleased with something.

I believe Heidi explained why she did it, it wasn't to upset Claire and I believe that, it wasn't at all how Rylan said it was. he made out she went and clapped right in Claires face which didn't happen.

It's all part of the Speidi game. I doubt they have a shed of genuine remorse.

No matter why they did, there was no need to clap in that situation. It was always going to come across as rude.

No,she didn't do it in her face ,but I still think it was uncalled for and rude.

It was bad timing for sure but I do believe her explanation for why she clapped and I do believe Rylan was the one who made the situation as bad as it became
