Yes, in everyday life, I think a strongly worded request would be advisable. However, in Survivor, doing this might end up costing one or more votes, since it might be interpreted by the unwanted toucher as "I didn't mean anything by that, so she's clearly against me".
I've been in the situation at work where a supervisor at work was a touchy, kissy person, and I felt that if I said anything, it might affect my chances at advancement, so I stayed silent. This wasn't any kind of sexual advance, but there are people I would rather not have touching me, y'know?
I think that Dan was insensitive and oblivious to the times Kellee told him to stop, and she felt that objecting more forcefully might get her ejected from the game.
