I sound like a broken record but I think you mean "sam and priya clearly overstepped the mark"Sam clearly overstepped the mark and yeah she had a right to be upset....not sure if it warranted all the carry-on that came afterwards though
that said, she was being encouraged by most of the others.

I agree with Someone. There was more than a little bit of spite in Sams actions. Some of those slaps and elbow massages and thumps looked pretty hard. No-one should have to just suck up that kind of treatment. There was definitely a meanness in his treatment of her.
There was more than a little bit of spite in sam AND priyas actions" is what you meant, I think.
the girl has every right to feel however she feels. Maybe it didn't hit her until afterwards, she wasn't out for anyones blood, she felt like shit, she needed a cry, wanted to gather her thoughts, and was very nice to priya and sam. She understood that they meant no harm but felt the way she did and she is entitled to that. FFS, if I was taken to task every time I regretted something I did or didn't do, or couldn't understand why I felt the way I felt, I'd be in the funny farm by now.
you don't always need to understand why you feel unhappy about something. Good thing is she didn't blame others for how she was feeling because she was generous enough to realize there was no intended malice.

I agree that Priya was wrong to follow it and not do anything, but Sam was the aggressor and he was the one doing the most awful things.

I saw sam smack her bum (not hard), squeeze on oil and rub her back, then onto her legs.....no more aggressive than priya slapping on pads/cotton, slapping her back, telling her to scream "yes" louder. From the vision we were shown, priya was just as complicit.

So you missed the bit where she was squealing as he was grinding his elbow into her back muscle or when he was pummelling her shoulders? I don't deny that Priya also got carried away too but Sam was the instigator and the more aggressive.I saw sam smack her bum (not hard), squeeze on oil and rub her back, then onto her legs.....no more aggressive than priya slapping on pads/cotton, slapping her back, telling her to scream "yes" louder.

It's one thing to say she shouldn't be feeling the way she was but it's another for people to understand that regardless of her reasons she was hurt. If it made her feel uncomfortable, for whatever reason, then an apology is warranted in my opinion. After all, human emotions were never rational to begin with.

exactly, she feels how she feels, she handled it the best she could, everyone else got involved which muddied the waters.

so you missed what I wrote about how priyas actions were just as bad, from what we saw?

I addressed my opinion of what Priya did in my reply. Maybe you just didn't read it. I still disagree with you. Get over it.or chose to ignore it?

Howling at myself again...
What they did...they did with malice...disguised as a joke. It was aggressive and meant to make her feel as uncomfortable as possible. What pissed me off most about it...was that Sam tried to deflect his guilt in any wrong doing...by turning it around on Travis for saying something. I am not a big Travis fan...but he did earn some respect from me by saying something to Sam. Then Sam lied about it and said that Travis came at him, puffed up and demanding apologies or else. I actually think Travis handled it tactfully and respectfully. And then for Sam to have the gall to basically tell Aisha that if she had a problem, be a big girl and tell him herself...really pissed me off. If he thinks that ANYONE believes for a second that if it had been Sandra in Aisha's position...and Travis had been the one "joking around"...that Sam would have stepped back and let Sandra say something on her own while he stayed out of it...then he is even more delusional than I thought. The hypocrisy runs high in that one...

It was horrendous what they did. She looked like she'd just been raped as she left the room.
Sam is what Sam is (tosser) but Priya really disappointed me with her actions and lack of intervention in that room.

And none of this drama ensues if everyone just listens to Aisha and lets her have her moment to get over it like she kept asking them to.
The good thing is however now Sam will come under the microscope of the Aussie voting public which he has been able to avoid thus far and could very well lead to his eviction this week.
