I don't think the tree set out to make anyone angry or to make them cry. Which Sam admitted that's what he wanted.

Yes, far worse.

Agreed.

Much worse.
The motivation is quite different.
BB also have a "duty of care" and responsibility towards housemates. I doubt Sam had any such considerations.

EXACTLY!!! SOOooooo do you think BB would let Sam do anything that was THAT bad??

 What sort of person thinks it's funny to make someone else cry? Horrible..

I can't believe you are actually comparing what is obviously meant to be a joke and all the house mates know this, to someone actually went out to deliberately and intentionally try and break someone's temper or make them cry 

They have in the past.

They sure have.

SO why because its the TOT is it so obviously a joke, but with Sam you fail to see that MAY be his humour?

An example of the ooooh soooo bad behaviour that wasnt pulled up by Big Bro....I mean tho whole Sam putting his balls in Josies face was dealt with by big bro, and even that I dont think was THAT bad....so what has been let go that you deem to be BAD? I properly fail to see it.

Perhaps when the TOT is setting a task to wind housemates up he (BB/TOT) has the power to stop it when it becomes too much.

Big Bro has the power to stop Sam too if they DEEM SAMS BEHAVIOUR TO BE TOO BAD just like they pulled him into the DR after sticking his balls in Josies face...

They sure do but it has been sadly lacking this series
