In the past housemates have definitely said far worse, the fact you're saying a housemate called a black person a " monkey " ( I actually didn't know about that ) , I didn't watch that series. That most definitely has racist tones.
I agree with you on parts ,you know I hate censorship. But obviously it depends on the situation. I think a big part of this must have been the fact Hanah herself didn't find it funny .
It may also have something to do with the fact Sarah & Hanah don't exactly have that type of friendship/ they're
not as close , another example is when Khaled got offended by her comments in the garden task... again they don't have that strong relationship, some friends who get on well and know eachother , will roast eachother and even make risque jokes.
And the fact it was about " gloating" already a negative trait, so Hanah was never going to take it well.
Interesting Nathan's comments once again get brushed off ,he called Khaled's group " fake & vain" ,but it seemed to get forgotten about :rolleyes:.

Oh Caroline said a lot of outrageous stuff in that series that would not fly in today's climate.
Personally though I like to watch Reality TV, where people will say and do stuff that you won't like, but that's life in general, especially any perceived prejudices are certainly apart of reality.
And I think what hasn't helped in this series case (away from my hatred of censorship) is why were these things that I'm about to mention allowed to fly?
1. Nathan critiquing Martha's dress sense? Bringing her appearance into a negative light, which is frowned upon in society, and it was said with actual malice. Yet no warning or talking to from Big Brother.
2. Ryan's anti-woke comment in his VT, BB could've barred him from going into the house for making the Non-Binary joke, but they still let him on the Show.
3. Lily going into the Diary Room a couple of weeks ago implying that Segun looks ugly and big (which could definitely be interpreted a certain way) and in another Diary Room segment she went and mocked the guys calling each other "bruv" in a faux ghetto accent. Yet no warning off BB.
4. Ali blatantly being Misandrist in the house, yet no warning. Could argue that she was making Khaled and Marcello's time in the house really uncomfortable for most of the series just to add that to the list.
5. Dean's insults towards Sarah about her appearance again could be argued that he deserved a warning for that because people in the house might be offended. But no warning from BB.
6. Emma making violent jokes about Lily, we all know that she's joking, but Housemates might be offended, so where's the warning BB?
7. Daze was apart of Just Stop Oil, which is very offensive to a lot of people in this country. Going by BB's logic she should be mindful of her fellow Housemates feelings on the group.
8. All series there has been debates about Marcello being Misogynistic, I don't agree with Ali or some of the public that feel that way, but BB has continued to allow Ali to put up with Marcello's behaviour that she doesn't like from him. Where's the warning?
9. Sarah herself made a joke about Thomas's missing hand earlier in the series, where was BB giving out a warning?
They basically **** themselves because they fear that the public will think that the Show is racist, where as I think that nobody could possibly think that this particular version is any ist or phobic, you'd have to be very politically extreme to think that imo.:laugh:
My point being is that there's no consistency from BB.
