In last night’s episode of Israel’s "Big Brother," housemates Gal Robin and Eliran Biton finally had a candid talk after a feud that lasted about two and a half months, during which they had not spoken. The conversation took place in the house smoking area. Biton told Robin he did not trust her or her behavior, while she accused him of speaking badly about her behind her back. He responded, "You behaved like trash."
By the end of the exchange, the two agreed to start talking again, but Biton made clear they would not return to the friendship they had at the start of the season. After the so-called reconciliation, Robin repeatedly told him, "You’re obsessed with me," and kept asking for a hug. Biton refused, saying he would feel hypocritical if he hugged her.
Their interaction quickly triggered a storm on social media, where many viewers criticized Robin for what they saw as pressuring behavior and a failure to respect Biton’s personal space. Comments described her fixation as "sick" and argued that if a man kept insisting on a hug from a woman who said no, it would be considered harassment.
Others questioned why the show’s editing keeps focusing on Robin as if she is the only housemate worth showing, while some urged her to leave Biton alone. A few viewers praised Biton for standing his ground and said they had come to appreciate him more over time. One commenter jokingly compared the pair’s dynamic to the series "A Small Deer."
