I came across this sentence during my immersion: YOUさんに婿にしたいランキングぶっちぎりのビリという I
don't get the meaning of にしたい in this case. Moreover, shouldn't it be YOUさんは
since she's the agent of the quotation?

question
grammar particle-に
にする and indirect speech
In the video, I think Yama-chan says:

> 「YOUさんに、『婿にしたいランキングぶっちぎりのビリ』と **言われ** た (or 言われて)...」

YOUさんに...言われた means "I was told by YOU-san" (i.e. "YOU-san told me").

婿にしたい literally means "want to make (someone) one's 婿".

[婿]{むこ} can mean either "husband / groom" or "son-in-law / daughter's husband
or fiancé".

From the surrounding context in the video, Yama-chan got lost in a supermarket
in Hawaii and YOU-san told him 「(山ちゃんは)婿にしたいランキングぶっちぎりのビリ(だ)」, "You're in the
lowest position of the ranking list of people I would want to make my 婿 / want
to choose as my 婿," because Yama-chan is too 頼りない(unreliable), compared to
Tokui-san.
