But I think spaceguitar could also be correct, in that Marcus meaning "sorry Phil for focusing on Dan and not you, as out of your duo I prefer Dan" would make a lot of sense. I really don't know, I think either of those interpretations are equally possible
I can't see how the second context idea works, since they're only discussing Dan because his name was in the game. There was no reason to apologise for forgetting Phil or not mentioning him too, his name just wasn't in the game, and I'm guessing Marcus didn't know the list of people before filming so the comment about him loving Dan was unplanned. It doesn't make sense to me personally how it can be anything other than the suggestion nobody else can fawn over Dan than Phil?? Lol. Thus an apology was necessary? It's all very odd haha.
Yeah, the more I think about it the more my immediate interpretation (that he meant it as an apology to Phil for hitting on his man) makes sense. The second option does feel like a bit of a stretch, but it still kind of makes sense to me as Dan and Phil are very much a package deal at this point and liking one more than the other or mentioning one and not the other can I guess be seen as a bit of a stretch. But yeah, I'm with you, I think the first interpretation makes more sense in this context .

One video in particular that stands out to me is a video he did with Connor and Troye where he has this intense moment where he demands to know if whipped cream turns Troye on.
There's just something about him that I don't quite trust.
Not that any of that really has anything to do with Dan and Phil. Just a general observation.
I agree with you, I'm not a big fan. Last year he snapchatted a picture of himself eating watermelon with the black woman emoji on top, which is blatantly racist and disgusting. Ever since then I've been pretty wary of him tbh. And yeah, I haven't seen the video with Connor and Troye but that does sound pretty invasive/mildly fetishistic. I definitely don't trust him, that's for sure!
