AHH I see
Oh what a mess of misunderstandings , Sarah shouldn't have mentioned the word play thing.

Sadly, most people don't think sensibly or logically when even a sniff of racial subject matter enters the convo...

…yeah I think she did link it to Hanah and said that she’d made the pun based on stop the boats in calling Hanah gloaty…I mean the fact that she kind of pressed that explanation of it would surely indicate in itself the lack of intent…

[Niamh.]

Oh OK just seen that part now. It did sound bad tbf I can see why Hanah was upset

[Swan]

She also "body shammed a 20 year old girl"

Time for me to put twitter down for the evening

…I thought that Hanah handled it all ok, actually…(…it felt as if…)…she and maybe Segun had not confronted or anything but might have gone to the DR to chat with BB…and they called in Sarah…

Yeah tbh I found it weird & a little cringe how her verbal diarrhoea let her down, if she's instantly linking " stop the boats / gloats " joke with Hanah .. it's not good. Even if she didn't mean it that way.

But like I said she was mixing up the comment with an entirely different situation. It wasn't even about the vampire task ...but she assumed it was .

[Mystic Mock]

She meant it as a joke.

BB are being ridiculous.

I can't wait for Lily to go tomorrow,if she is saved after tonight's HL ...I think I'll actually feel physically sick . she's pushed it far too much now ,with the constant selfish behaviour & loud unhinged screaming and childish act .

No way I could live with someone that grotesque and obnoxious.

Which legally is allowed.

Mock she dug herself a hole ,the comment was the wrong comment and situation .. that's the problem aswell. She thought it was about the vampire task ,but it was about Hanah and her group after Marcello won HOH, both herself and Emma called Hanah's group " gloaty" . But it looks as if she's aiming it at Hanah, which is why she probably shouldn't have mentioned the boat comment / joke.

Huge misunderstanding,and foot in mouth disease. funny thing is ...I don't even remember her saying " stop the gloats" in the vampire task. I think she's ended up getting herself in trouble for a joke she probably never said, I think she was trying to do a Nathan joke .

Stop the boats isn’t racist.

Her word play at best was in bad taste.

The reason it’s blown up is because Hanah thought Sarah was saying it about her core group (which she wasn’t).

Oh yeah I’m not blaming Hanah at all. Sarah confused convos up so it made it sound like that, so I get why. What I don’t understand is why BB didn’t intervene to clear it up, instead playing it up.

Yeah bad taste is the right way,but I still don't think she even did a word play, I don't even remember " stop the gloats" ...I think she's getting it wrong,or spending too much time with Nathan had rubbed off on her .

We may not have seen it as it was during the vampire task and we only saw small parts of that.

I presume and hope BB spoke to Hanah as well. They certainly explained the two different moments to Sarah in the DR.

[GlitterUK]

BB should show the original footage for clarity.

[Alf]

What's wrong with stopping the boats? What's racist about it.

People are entering our country illegally. That's a criminal offence. I support stopping that criminality.

You watch too much television and are totally brainwashed that you can't see criminal offences being carried out right in front of your own eyes.

[GlitterUK]

But none of the housemates are here illegally. Sarah saying she knows it isn't PC was her downfall.

I get that some people won't like Sarah for this (which is their right) but BB and the audience need to understand that Sarah (and any other Housemate) should be allowed to make any joke, at any place, and at any time without receiving a warning over it.

The fact that some people are trying to justify the warning, shows that we have got a long way to go to repair this franchise still.

But there are some in here suggesting that saying "stop the boats" is far-right and rascist.

No, it's just an opinion on a criminal act being carried out.
