I wish last night never happened now. If you go back to the pages from about 10pm to 11:30pm last night, there's a ton of pro-Sara and "Can Sara win?" threads, but now it's all "Has Sara ruined it for herself?" and a ton of anti-Sara threads.

*makes one more attempt at praying it isn't shown on the highlights*

That all sounds a bit like chinese whispers to me, tbh. I'll wait to see that before I believe it

*Sends a few votes Saras' way*

Her haters can't vote her out, and they can't transfer their vote to SIX other competitors. They're screwed

The forums were bad last night but it's really calmed down now. Lots of people out there supporting Sara and arguing equal responsibility for both Sara and Darnell.

It really was war last night (or very early this morning). It was so annoying though. People kept acting like Sara was some evil, domineering, predatorial dominatrix!

Also, Rachel fans have collaborated a song for her. I think I will too, in reference to Javine's "Real Things".

Remember to vote for Sara in both the BB Winner Poll and Week 13 Favourite Housemate Poll.

It's such a nice feeling dialling Sara's number. I think she has a good chance of surviving on Tuesday, but we just need to keep voting whenever possible. If you have a spare 50p walking down the street, go into the phonebox and dial her number. If you think you can squeeze in a few more votes, then please do.

I think it'll be Mo and Kat on Tuesday but BB could easily give Kat some good edits and then we're screwed.

I've voted.

Sara to win <3

This is going to be such a long wait until Tuesday. Once we get past this darn double eviction i'll be alot more relieved.

i know its silly to quote yourself lol but this is how i still see the situation. the people who will be annoyed about last night will mostly be those who would never vote for her anyway.

also sara was one of the only hms cheered last night so surely bb want a popular winner, not one that comes out to boos, so they may give her a good edit later....? fingers crossed.

Kimberly, have you been voting?

I've sent a couple more votes towards Sara, but I still think that it's between Sara and Kat as to who is joining Mohammed on Tuesday.

I have a bit of a theory about this. I wonder if Sara originally felt that flirting and being up close and personal with Darnell would boost his ego. If he hadn't had much experience with women, that he'd feel good about himself that she was paying him so much attention. I don't mean that in a sympathy/pity kind of way, but in a genuinely wanting to boost who he is up kind of way. However (and I haven't seen last night's LF and dread to think...), after this week's shenanigans, she is being silly if she still thinks this is the case, except I've read Darnell was making friendship overtures to her last night so maybe again, she's just grateful they can be friends and have a laugh together (poor set of logic for her after this past week I know).

I think what I'm saying, very inarticulately, is that the flirting isn't a deliberate sexual come-on (I never thought it was but I know others do) which she'd never any intention of following through, but rather, a way of boosting his confidence and making him feel good about himself. I've never been particularly predatory or successful (romantically or sexually) with the opposite sex, but always really liked it if guys did flirt even if it didn't mean anything - certainly never took it as a rejection. Oh, btw I've been happily married for 28 years so am not looking for the sympathy vote here, my name's not Darnella!! LOL


Anyway, Hello Sara app thread - Hope you don't mind me being here, I was so pleased she won last night, I think she's terrific. Rachel has long been my favourite but sara has been inching up on the outside in my mind for weeks (probably since that whole thing with Darnell making her get him food he didn't want ) and could even overtake Rachel now. My dream last 2 would be Rachel and Sara, in any order (maybe Sara 2nd as she's already won £25K but I really don't mind). I'd have then liked Lisa 3rd, sad that can't happen, an all girls final 3 would be good but please not Kat - I used to like her but am beginning to agree with the "gameplaying/controlling" accusers.

I'll add my few phone votes to yours, maybe a few for Rachel too!!

ive voted once so far but i will more before tuesday when i dont have to use my phone to make the calls xx

Hrh7, welcome to the Sara Appreciation Thread. We've kinda called ourselves the "Sararoo's", as a group name. It's great to see new members posting in here, because Sara is getting alot of flak on the main forum which is undeserved, IMO.

As for your theory about her and Darnell. I wouldn't rule it out. It is possible, and Sara might have overdone it a bit (she was pissed, to be fair) but I see what you're saying. I think Sara really is a caring person, which was evident last night on the highlights wjen she was trying to tell Darnell that he WAS a good person, so who knows, maybe Sara is trying to boost Darnell's confidence for the final week. I myself thought it was a bit of harmless, fun flirting that went OTT (again, because of alchohol) but obviously the main forum disagree and think that Sara is the baddie.

It'll be interesting to see how the incident is edited tonight. Surely the producers wouldn't be stupid and give Sara (the only one to get cheers last night, and the dark horse of the show) a bad edit? Hopefully they'll miss it out, but I won't hold my breath. Just keep dialling Sara's number!

Every vote counts.

Nice to hear everyone is voting. I actually visited the support Lisa page on Facebook (run by her family and friends) and they all said they'd be switching their votes over to Sara!

Get voting on the polls.

The BB winner poll is reflecting the odds nicely:

Clear 3rd

Which is good considering that it got put up this afternoon AFTER last night.

Alot of people are actually saying Sara will be in the top three!

A few weeks ago she was considered as fodder and would be out in the double eviction with Mo, but now she's turned it around and is a serious contender for winning! (Didn't I say that if she survived she'd become a favourite? Well she was 2nd favourite, but then shot back down, unfortunately. However it last night never happened she'd still be the firm 2nd favourite)

I don't like Sara and am a Darnell fan, but you guys have my sympathy. Knowing that your fave has done something ill-advised and waiting for it to be on the HLs show is not a nice feeling (I was there last week)!

It will be shown (I've seen the press release) but could be edited either way in my opinion.

Thanks.

I still like Darnell, much of the time, but in a situation such as last night's the female HM tends to get almost all the blame, and it really ought to be seen in a much more balanced way.

Also, their relationship has a sort of untidy reality that ought to be appreciated in a reality show, it seems to me; but that doesn't seem to be how it goes.

I think Sara's fans and Darnell's are kind of in the same boat, since we can never relax, confident that noting will come along that wrecks their chances.

They seemed to be on good terms when E4 was showing BB live this afternoon, though.

Hi there.

Yes, it is a horrible feeling. Especially as Sara's odds shortened so much last night and she might just have threw her chances out the window. I like Darnell as a person, but like Veri said, it's a shame that Sara is always painted as the baddie.

I was hoping it wasn't going to be shown. Oh well. I guess we'll need to prepare for the worst....

Yes, welcome! It's good to see new people turning up.

Something people forget, imo, is that it can be difficult for women, not just men, to go for weeks and weeks without even a cuddle.

Hey guys,

Just got back from my holiday, what happened last night?

Hi, hope you had a good holiday.

Erm, Sara survived and then Darnell poured her a glass of wine and then they both got really drunk and Sara said she'd jump in the pool with her clothes on, so she did, then Darnell went in after her and they were in the pool for ages cuddling and holding eachother and they kept talking quietly to eachother whilst Kat said it was "romantic" and then Rex and the rest said that she was leading him on again. There's a video on the channel 4 website.

Until that point, Sara was becoming a hot favourite and was in second place to win. Then all that happened and she fell to fourth favourite. It's going to be shown tonight.

Oh Sara

. We're hoping it won't affect Sara's chances, because after all, it's vote to save.

Sara and Darnell got very drunk (Sara probably more so) and restarted their touchy-feely flirtatious relationship.

As a result of this, the whole forum went mad at Sara, giving her all sorts of revolting misogynistic labels and saying things like "I told you so" - as if it was some sort of proof that Sara was being sly and manipulative all along.

It seems to be dying down now that many more people have actually seen the footage - which is nowhere near as "bad" as it was made out to be. Some FMs were talking about it as if it was in the same league as the Anthony/Makosi/Orlaith "Porn-gate" fiasco.

However, Sara is VERY vulnerable to tonight's edit. It could be very, VERY easy for the viewing public (who are prone to women-hating, and who are far more critical of the behaviour of female HMs than they are of male ones) to turn on her at the last moment.

Hope not, though.

*fingers crossed*
