Perhaps Natasha wondered why there we're no yorkshire puddings on an Americans shopping order.

The chance of spotting a bit of context would be a fine thing

You can see the effort Ultros has kindly gone to in order to add some for us but some viewers especially the newer ones aren't going to bother because they just want some mindless entertainment(i'm not knocking all forms of mindless entertainment btw) what they don't want is a murder mystery where you have to peace things together or even think about the "why's" of the thing. As long as Farrah is screaming like a banshee the "why" isn't important. It's literally mindless TV and yet people are forming opinions of Americans around it or at least the Americans on the show.

“There are plenty of examples where British housemates haven't been fair or just, or they bitch and moan, or they openly display xenophobic anti-American comments and openly express that they shouldn't give a f** about the Americans, and they appear to connive and play games against the others which is sometimes even omitted from the HL show.
But because Farrah can be nasty at times all that is conveniently swept under the carpet and a different reality is constructed.
I don't like Farrah. But many of these British housemates are conveniently excused for their own behaviour and given a free pass, simply because of the presence of Farrah in there.”
That's why they call it constructed reality i guess. I think the real surprise is that after BB has constructed it the viewer moves in, sets up home, and lives it for the duration of the series. That's no small statement either.
I actually do like Farrah. She's a straight shooter and against the back drop of the Brit's and what i see as sporadic passive aggression from them i'd much rather watch her argue with herself than any of the Brits.
