Her and Darnell had some truly awkward moments. I remember the scene where she spends ages trying to set him straight that she's not interested romantically. Cringe!!

I really liked her at the time and now I can't remember why. Was she bullied by the boys or something?

OMG! I'll always remember Sara for that phrase, and for beating Rex to 3rd place

Loved BB9

Congrats Sara

I think she seemed nice, but I didn't understand why she kept on nominating Rachel. She didn't seem to have a problem with Rachel and obviously you have to come up with reasons, but she nominated her every week bar one, which seemed oddly consistent for someone she didn't seem to dislike especially.

I think she struggled with nominations slightly and just saw Rachel as an easy choice. But as you say, she didn't have a problem with her at all. In fact, when we saw her nominating her, she'd say something like, "I feel so bad about this because she's such a sweet girl". It wasn't anything to do with disliking her at all. Because she said that she thought she was a sweet, lovely girl both in the Diary Room and to her face. And also, at the end of Rachel's winning interview and also when Rachel did the "winner's walk", (or whatever it's called), right at the end of the show, she was smiling and cheering enthusiastically. She wasn't reacting in the same way people like Luke and Bex were and trying to get the crowd to boo her.

She was a likeable person and I would have picked her over any of the Whisper Club members. In fact, I think she deserved to have been in that house right from Day 1 instead of coming in a few weeks later.

Only once I think, and briefly. She was generally quite popular in the house. She seemed to have an issue with Mo though, and to treat him like shit sometimes.

She had an ear-bleeding fog-horn voice. I've always thought the worst BB sound imaginable would be BB9 Sara and BB13 Sara singing a duet.

She was a fun housemate though, and a breath of fresh air.

Yep once, but it only lasted a week or three so that's OK then...

Who do you think she was bullied by? She seemed very friendly with pretty well everyone except Mo and Rachel, neither of whom were of the bullying kind.

She was a little superficial for me, her nominations showed the very little thought she put into her nominations (and alot of other things).
Poor Rachel and Mohamed, she never let up on them week after week, apart from when they were immune. After the incident with Darnell and Rex, she nominated Darnell and not Rex, but only because Mohamed was immune. Would she have even nominated Darnell if she could nominate Mohamed? I suspect not.

She kind of reminded me of a new girl at school who really wants to fit into the group and could easily tell that Mohamed and Rachel were very much towards the bottom of the totem pole and therefore had very little to offer her. They were easy nominations and any potential backlash at nominating them would be very small.

However, this is just nit-picking because she wasn't deliberately malicious and just seemed to take things as they came, which is not a bad thing for a housemate. I think an easy trap to fall into in the house is thinking far too much.

One night she was sitting in the garden with Darnel, Rex and Moe.

Darnel was disappointed she didn't fancy him and was still fuming about it. He jokingly called her an 'ugly bitch'. All three of them laughed. It was cruel and she was really upset.

Yes, that's very good. I agree with every word.
One night she was sitting in the garden with Darnel, Rex and Moe.

Darnel was disappointed she didn't fancy him and was still fuming about it. He jokingly called her an 'ugly bitch'. All three of them laughed. It was cruel and she was really upset.
I remember on one occasion they made her cry. Darnell did not deal well with her h-bomb level flirting and the others were indignant on his behalf. But generally she was pretty close to Rex. They seemed to spend hours and hours talking together. I'm pretty sure she had nothing but good memories of him in the end.

I liked Sara, but I think 3rd was a good result for her. It would have seemed very wrong to me if she had beaten Rachel.

I do get what you're saying but I'm not sure it was actually like that. I think it was actually a positive thing she voted Rachel and Mo again and again. It never seemed to be out of hate though I do think she had a greater problem with Mo than Rachel but as for the school analogy I think it was her that was bottom of the heap as she wasn't an actual member of either group whereas Rachel and Mo had a firm position in the B Block group.

I think she had a natural affinity towards the likes of Rex, Stu and Bex so she nominated 2 people who she would least want to spend time with. Like I said this is actually a positive and indeed sensible approach to nominating and a lot more mature in a way than nominating via what gang you are in.

I don't suppose she hated them, or even particularly disliked them, but irrespective of the person, it can be a bit uncomfortable watching someone nominating someone week after week, when that person has no suspicion that they are not pretty friendly. She nominated Mo and Rachel 6 times each (and I'm sure Meglos is right, it would have been 7 for Mo if she could); Rachel never nominated her, and Mo twice at the end. I think Mo really liked her until then, and would have liked to be friends with her.

I remember after BB Sara announced that she had taken a flat with Luke and Bex. I'm not sure that it ever came off, but it always seemed an odd idea.

There was a sustained level of unpleasantness from Darnell I recall that ended with Sara sitting on the floor where the clothes were crying. Darnell was called in and given a warning by BB if I recall.

If a grown adult can't cope with a woman flirting that's his problem not hers.

It wasn't h bomb level either. She was pretty mild compare to some. What did you make of Lauren and Adam in BB13. She practically showed him all she had to offer when she did the splits up against the wall.

Exactly. I have nothing against her doing it a few times - if you get on well with most people, we all know how difficult it can be nominating and sometimes you'll have to make up obscure reasons to choose someone you actually have quite a good relationship with. However, in that situation I would certainly try to choose someone different every week. Nominating the same people week after week seems like you have some kind of vendetta against them - which is fine if you really don't get on, but with Sara it just seemed rather strange.

It's easier to think of people and reasons once, and then keep using them. It avoids all the agonising that so many HMs go through about who to nominate and what to say. I don't think there was any more to it than that.

There was more to it than that. There was even a determined attempt one night from Rex and Darnell to get all of "B-Block" to nominate her. (Rachel, to her credit, didn't.)

Sara joined in the singing of "Happy House" in bb9. Is Sara + Kat not bad enough for you?

Well it WAS his problem, yes. But I thought she was pretty oblivious about it. Darnell was very obviously not a confident, easy-going person, and probably not that used to beautiful models snuggling up in bed with him then saying how much they fancied someone else. I think Sara needed a bit more social sensitivity over it, before Darnell actually burst and was removed from the house in several bin bags.

It wasn't h bomb level either. She was pretty mild compare to some. What did you make of Lauren and Adam in BB13. She practically showed him all she had to offer when she did the splits up against the wall.
Lauren was flirty, yes. But Adam, though I think he was a bit bewildered by it, was a stronger and more stable person.
There was more to it than that. There was even a determined attempt one night from Rex and Darnell to get all of "B-Block" to nominate her. (Rachel, to her credit, didn't.)
I don't remember it, though I do remember that for a while they were allowed to discuss nominations. In fact if anyone remembers who made use of this, it would be quite interesting to know what ensued. (I think it was only for a week, was it?)
