As Ammi indicated, Marcello basically admitted he was creating an argument out of boredom, and I think maybe to release some stress in the final week. He was argumentative and confrontational, but not what I’d call aggressive - and I can understand why he wouldn’t want to be presented in that way.

He seems to target Sarah in these situations, which seems strange when he has a close friendship with her, but I believe this is because he sees it as amusing banter, and thinks Sarah will understand it that way. The problem is that, when he does this, it is not easily identifiable as banter, so it doesn’t always hit right. His delivery just isn’t good.

He was probably right about the influencer comment, and about the fact that he wasn’t being aggressive, but he can’t see how his delivery appears from an outside point of view. He might think differently when he watches it back.

Basically, I think both Sarah and Marcello enjoy a good debate that they can get their teeth into, but this topic was not worthy of that. It was generated by a bored housemate trying to entertain himself.
