he said he has a bad temper and he didn't want to talk about it right away - kudos to him for that at least
Travis can't dictate WHEN its the right time for BOTH of them to talk about it - just because he says he won't be able to sleep unless they do talk - because Travis knew he'd taken it a step too far .. Ryan made an off the cuff comment that wasn't aimed directly at Travis but Travis' comeback went straight for the people he admits to knowing Ryan cares about the most knowing it would rile him up
Wasn't off the cuff as we know from when David was talking to Ryan et al explaining Travis' perspective he was describing it as. That they were hitting on him a bunch of times, that they were ganging up on him. So this context of then saying something over the line. His got a group of guys constantly pushing him and saying stuff to upset him.
so who was being the deliberate a$$hole in that situation?
Ryan, we didn't see a lot that happened, but even in the radio task he was taking pleasure in trying to upset and 'bait' Travis.
Travis was told now wasn't the right time and why but he had to keep going at it - he doesn't like to listen to other people - and doesn't consider what THEY need .. its all about what he wants and what he needs
Well that argument goes what ever way. Ryan makes it all about him, going to make Travis wait until he is ready. Despite the fact in other situations in the house he is constantly saying, including this episode that people should address problems here and there. So he's a hypocirt and Travis would see some importance on dealing with it sooner rather than later. As Ryan is a big bitch and is then going on saying shit about him constantly to his little buddies.
Ryan thinks he is better and wants to have control above all else. This is why he was so shitty and poisoned the atmosphere for the other staff in the hotel test.
Ryan has a snarky sense of humour and a short wick - he probably doesn't suffer fools gladly - and Travis has been p'ing him off a lot in this past week. He knew getting into it right away was not going to have a good result - he needed time to cool off. The other HM's (in and out of the house) don't seem to criticise him for being a sourpuss so I see that as a result of the edited version that BB pushes on us rather than the true representation of who he is - they all seem to say he's funny ...
He doesn't have a snarky sense of humor. His biggest laugh and go to comedy act is pretending to be a chicken. The comment he said to Travis was trying to wind Travis up. As has been observed by those in the house, they were hitting him again and again and Travis felt like he was being ganged up on. It's comedy in the realm of being absurd but there is no humorous intentions.
Otherwise in the house, I have not seen Ryan being dry or snarky for comedy reasons. He just says mean and nasty things. Makes snotty comments. Snarky comments because he is mean, short and abrasiveness, not because he is being funny. You may laugh at home in a bit of shock at how horrible the things he is saying is, but the context of where and who, they aren't jokes.
Kudos to Travis for at least trying to apologise but he kept saying "but you were baiting me" as if that was an excuse ... the bigger man would walk away in the first place Travis - and that would irk Ryan even more than your smarta$$ comments about his sister ...
It is a justification because the gang is going at him. They pushed him. He was in a no win situation. He sits there letting people gang up on him, then he made a through away non thought out response which seems to have crossed the line, even though it was a common next time thing someone would say. He could have easily said, 'ya mum' or something.
Then of course they use it to hang up on him either more. But look at what you said, you think it's fine for them to be ganging up on people and do so in a way that Travis should get up and leave the situations. Surely you're acknowledging they are fine in ganging up and bullying and then?
They should not be making people feel that way. Where they have to walk away from the group activities, or where they are upset, feeling picked on and lash out saying something as a response.
