Contentious Spat Divides Big Brother Fan Community: A Deep Divide Emerges trucc

   

Big Brother fans have been left divided by an awkward row between Sarah and Khaled.

Monday's (November 4) episode saw the housemates take part in Big Brother Nature's flower show, in which they tried to earn the coveted title of best in show.

Head of House Emma was appointed Head Gardener, while Baked Potato (aka Rosie) became her trusty Groundskeeper.

The pair then had to match the rest of the housemates to a specific plant, based on their personalities.

Lily and Khaled were chosen as weeds because they can be a "nuisance" in the house. Ali and Marcello became wallflowers, as they are "shy and don't get involved in disputes".

Nathan and Hanah were assigned stinging nettles, with Emma and Baked Potato explaining that they are "hard to get close to" and have "poisonous opinions".

Segun and Thomas were chosen as the housemates who sit on the fence the most, so they became ivy. Finally, Sarah was assigned the rose, as she is "beautiful, inside and out".

Once the roles were assigned, Emma and Baked Potato had to evaluate each pair's performance during a flower show, with only one duo worthy of winning the best in show rosette.

The show saw Thomas reveal that he thought Nathan was the biggest "game player", while Ali and Marcello wowed the group with their dance moves to Demi Lovato's 2015 hit 'Confident' – which ultimately earned them the win.

Earlier in the performance, Sarah had to describe how each housemate could improve in order to become a rose.

"Khaled, I think if you spent less time looking in the mirror and more time looking inward, who knows what it could be," she said.

"You obviously know you're very good looking but every now and again if you come down from your ivory tower and spend some time with us peasants down here, like myself, you might learn a thing or two."

Khaled was unimpressed by Sarah's comments and asked her for a "bit of distance" during a tense chat in the kitchen.

"Is it me?" Sarah asked, with Khaled replying: "I'd just chill for a bit, nothing deep man but just, it's one of them."

Sarah explained to Emma that it was "all a joke", while Khaled said that he had some "questions" about the "critical" comments she made about him.

Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to weigh in on the situation, with one writing: "Poor Khaled, he actually cannot win with some of them. He says something and they jump on it, he doesn't say anything and they still jump on it."

"Tbh though Sarah saying it was a joke? It obviously wasn't. She honestly said what she thought about him! I don't think Khaled deserved that comment," another added.

Meanwhile, a third fan shared their confusion over Khaled's reaction, saying: "Khaled is the last person I thought would get offended by what Sarah said, so right now, I'm confused a bit."

Will Sarah and Khaled be able to patch things up?

Big Brother airs on ITV2 and ITVX from Sunday to Friday, followed each night by Big Brother: Late & Live.
