If the cameras weren't present he'd already be able to fuck Chloe and Sam. It's formulaic, not natural behaviour. It's one of those "no means yes" situations that tends to flummox people who want to draw up rules for other people's social interaction. If the producers prevented Marc from speaking to her like that, they'd be denying Sam what she very badly wants.

I wonder how many people can see how calculated his behaviour is. That humping Danny on the floor was a way of expressing dominance. And climbing on him again when he had just woken up, and would be less mentally composed to react to it. Or that telling Eileen that he was outraged that she was nominated was a way of gaining control of her vote if she stays. Or the way he was clutching Jade's hand while dictating terms to her, so that they're meant to be shaking hands on a deal that he's describing as he already has ahold of her hand, to make her feel she has agreed to something. I don't think the average person fully understands that sociopaths spend their entire lives practising how to manipulate and control them. I find it a bit disturbing when people are unwary and just generally ignorant of who/what they're dealing with in a person like that.

He's nasty and malicious. Seems to enjoy making people uncomfortable.
