So Sarah said it about Ali, Dean, Segun, Khaled and Thomas during the vampire task.

I understand there was no racial intention there and just not thinking about the word play, but some are calling her racist and Hanah felt she was referring to her group who are POC (even though Sarah wasn’t). Thoughts?

[Vanessa]

She's not racist. She just didn't think about the negative connection to that word.

Stop the gloats? How is that racial?

It was a play on words for the slogan stop the boats. But some (including Hanah) who thought she was saying it about her group (which Hanah referenced as people of colour)

I never heard that slogan before which is why that would mean nothing to.me

It was still a play on a racist comment whoever it was aimed it.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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.

Tbf, people do interpret stop the boats either way.

Because I know that some people do view it as a racist term.

Plus she thought she aimed it at Hanah ,but it wasn't a comment aimed at Hanah. It was interpreted the wrong way.


Yeah the whole 'stop the boats' is so topical,it will be seen in every way you can think of...and usually a negative way.

I guess it's the equivalent to telling someone they sound " fresh off the boat", things can so easily get misconstrued.

stop the boats is not a form of racism, its stopping illegal immigration

It was about Hannah gloatng during the vampire task. Badly worded.

She was on the same team as Hanah, it was about the vampires as they were gloating.

Still doesn't make sense , as the comment was specifically about Hanah. If you watch it back.... you'll see . Hence why it has to be the HOH / Marcello thing .

Sarah has basically got herself into trouble ,when I don't even think she said anything about boats to Nathan. Very weird .

No Sarah got confused. She did call Hannah gloaty. But she also said stop the gloats during the vampire task and seems to think that’s what they were referring to. Ajay explained it on L&L.

I know Hanah was a migrant and I think Segun was one two so I think that’s why they have got offended

See this is the confusion, i don't think it was the vampire task.

I think it was when Marcello got HOH, I remember Sarah talking to Emma in the kitchen.... saying she thought Hanah etc was " gloaty" . Emma was agreeing aswell.


Sarah was also a villager so it makes zero sense it being about the vampire task .

Sarah has foot in mouth disease,and is either lying or has got confused.

It was definitely about when Hanah's group went upstairs to celebrate Marcello as HOH. We never saw Sarah mention a boat joke,so no idea why she dug that hole for herself.
