…I guess it’s just one of those things that it’s hard to entirely relate to ‘real life’ or life outside the house in terms of friendships etc and how those friendships communicate …the BB house must be a weird fish situation in that the friendships in there only exist because of the ‘game’ and the game sometimes requires tasks which have elements of things that may inject negativity …and the task not always allowing or giving to choose the most sensitive and kindest wording, you know…

WHAT A BABY

He may want to listen to the advice but that's why he wants space to process it - and not have Sarah convinced him as a joke or whatever. Will have to see how it pans out tonight. The heart may have been in the right place but the words weren't.

On the backdoor question, is it any wonder the housemates break so many rules? I presume this one was BB led so it's fine to expose nomination intentions when it suits the producers. It was like one during the task a couple of weeks ago, when Khaled and Marcello were asked which two housemates they'd miss the least.

Sarah wasn’t aware it was her that upset him though until he asked for space, which she seems to have then given him. I think she’s then assumed he’s really upset at her which in turn has upset her. :laugh:

He won’t come out on top if he tries the same routine he did with Ali

…hopefully we’ll see later, a the wider context but atm it does feel a bit to me like a revolving circle in that Sarah didn’t seem to realise that anything she’d done or said had upset Khaled so he was obviously a bit, wow and taken aback and then she was also wow and take aback…and with that kind of situation and lack of understanding, there really is no other course but to talk it through…which Khaled was obviously not willing to do in the moment…whatever the circumstances leading up to, it had the effect of a close down which just leaves it hanging there as a negative vibe…

He was in a cream puff

Id imagine he was a spoiled child..

Yes, that's true. Like Khaled seemed under the impression that Sarah should have realised, to him, she overstepped the mark but Sarah, in turn, couldn't see how so was baffled. I wonder if his 'not deep' might be 'I know I'm taking this more seriously than perhaps I should but give me space to get over it then I'll be fine'. But unless he communicates that it will fester.

He really doesn’t like women not fawning over him does he?

He's not the harshest of critics himself, and ironically that made him not friends with some :laugh: ... so he may recoil at criticism easily enough it's not real pleasant for him to be the deliverer of bad news either since he hates that feeling. So he prefers a more 1-on-1 way of doing things to having it blasted it out across the house... I think it's reasonable he wants space if he feels rattled. :shrug: No reason to make a big deal out of it... but we'll see how that actually looks tonight

I understand it. Whilst it was a joke, the implication here is that he thinks he’s superior to everyone else as a result of his good looks, which I’ve not seen any evidence of.

It’s also not happening in a vacuum - the housemates have been constantly making little digs at him and I imagine this is just the final straw. The fact that it’s coming from Sarah probably means it hurts more, since they seem quite close. He looked taken aback like ‘I didn’t know you thought of me that way’.

Also the ‘in your ivory tower’ comment feels in very poor taste to say to a refugee whose homeland is undergoing a genocide. I know that might sound like I’m reading into it too much, but they all treat Khaled like he’s immensely privileged, which ignores the quite significant ways in which he’s not. Combine that with Nathan’s comment about how often he speaks about Palestine/Lebanon, and I think this could be another reason the comment rubbed him the wrong way. I get the impression he probably feels misunderstood by a lot of his housemates.

Sarah obviously didn’t mean it seriously, but I can see why it upset him.

Yeah he said that he likes to take the time to process his emotions before acting, because he doesn’t want to be too emotionally reactive and knows that he’ll feel differently given time. I think a lot of us are like that, no? It’s pretty normal to say ‘actually I need some space before talking this through’, and if anything I think it shows more maturity to be able to acknowledge and express that, as opposed to a) going along with what others want when you’re not comfortable, and b) flying off the handle because you’re in a too emotional place to have a respectful conversation with the other person

(He also said in that convo that he is a sensitive person)

I wish I had kept quiet and just waited for you to post this! Though we only have the sneak peak and press preview which lacks a degree of context. If Sarah approached others like she approached Khaled - particularly those she is close to - it could be said he is taking it more personally than he should. Certainly I do think there's a difference, in the clip, from what she said about Emma to what she said about Khaled.

I haven't read it,what did she say about Khaled?.

I think it really affected Khaled when he was pre judged early in the weeks. Maybe he feels a bit defensive.

"Khaled, I think if you spent less time looking in the mirror and more time looking inward, who knows what it could be. You obviously know you’re very good looking but every now and again you come down from your ivory tower and spend some time with us peasants down here like myself you might learn a thing or two.”

It was part of a task when housemates had to say how other housemates could become 'roses'.

I guess he took it personally ,due to what's happened previously with Ali . I think he's a worryier.

Kahled doesn't like women making fun of him.

Nobody can remember what Sarah said to Khaled hahaha

Low blow from Sarah but I don't think she is malicious, others seem to revel more in her comments towards Khaled as they see him as a threat.

He is someone who is calm and forgiving and he is one of the people who can accept Sarah's apology and not hold any grudges so I think they will be ok.

I think Ali will remember, her reaction said it all .

I think it says more about Khaled's standing with those who Sarah approached, rather than the relative severity of what she said.

Not sure if the former Heads of House dealt with getting into the basement well. If anything they seemed to be drawing attention to themselves.

Yeah it was the most unsubtle attempt ever hahaha

The amount of special attention given to dullard Ali by BB this series is crazy

:crazy:

Well when there's not much else going on, CD... (LT?)...
