She appeared to hold no grudge against Lee. I wonder though if she would be as forgiving with Jenny C, who was in my opinion the real ringleader in that sordid business.

We left this argument as Raef was intervening and Alex continuing to criticise Sara, and went to an external shot of the house with the sounds of raised voices continuing. I'm reading it that Helene is saying that this went on for at least a little while after we left it, and eventually Sara told Claire to shut the f*** up. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. Claire actually didn't seem to be attacking Sara in the house; in fact, she was almost defending her, as she insisted that it wasn't really Sara's fault that they'd lost the task. I think it was Jenny who really needed to be told to shut up.”

I don't think Helene meant that argument. Sara said she was trying to explain to them her role and she wasn't even given a chance. I don't think Sara had the energy to defend herself properly let alone attacking Claire who was almost defending her as you said.

I think Helene meant the pub task as she used Sara's expression.

This incident didn't do Lee any favour. He is in heart a very decent man (I don't know him but that is how he comes across). He worked the hardest without a shadow of a doubt for his place in the final and he has made the fewest mistakes of all the finalists. I love Claire but I won't be upset if he wins. He has earned it. I hope that Sir Alan is not blinded by Lee's lack of tact and inability to spell because he compensates that with commonsense, determination, and hard work. Claire or Lee FTW.”

Lee is one of the lads which is why he joined in the attack on Sara for staying when one of the lads had gone. He's also not very bright which means he follows others and can't work a situation out himself. He's probably the kid in the back row of the class doing impressions and making noises to get noticed. He's still very OTT (despite not still being 24) which again made him one of the OTT male group. He does inappropriate/foolish things like doing impressions in interviews, lying on his CV and deciding SAS is wrong to keep Sara and fire a mate because he lacks judgement and wants to be liked. He displayed all the same traits ganging up with Alex in later tasks. His saving is that SAS is basically one of the lads too.

The nerve of someone who hasn't been privy to everything that's happened having an opinion and disagreeing with SAS's decisions. Only someone really dumb would do that.

Its good Sara has no bad feelings and nice that Lee kind of explained himself but it would have been nice IMO if he had maybe apologised to her yesterday when discussing it. However if Sara seems to be fine with Lee thats what really matters.

I dont understand why they would possibly edit him to look bad on that one occasion, when they consistantly made him look good all series. It makes no sense at all tbh..

Well, maybe so. Without Helene's further word, we have little to go on.
