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.
