I know charlie is gay but he's not camp. It's surprising really that they didn't put in the token camp guy, like dennis, or that other one " fierce fierce fierce" to really annoy people, lol.

I'm glad about that! The camp queens really irritate me!

Me too. But there seems to be a conspicuous absence of outspoken extrovert characters in the house, at least, on first impressions.
I'm glad there isn't a camp gay in there, because although I don't actually know any gay men I suspect the vast majority of them are not camp in any way and may even dislike the way BB producers often chose a camp guy.
Praise the Lawd!

Rodrigo is quite camp.
But a really nice bloke too.

I think two or three of them are camp.
The subtle signs are there. This might be based on the age-old theory of "it takes one to know one".
But I think the general tone of the thread meant the very blatant, outrageous, queenly camp we have seen in past BBs.
I am liking Rodrigo too Videostar.
I am surprised that Charlie is the one I have most difficulty understanding, especially when he gets a bit excited.

I haven't warmed to Charlie at all yet brisket. 
He just reminds me of a fat Johnny from BB3.

Nor me
Can`t quite put my finger on it, though (so-to-speak.)
I shall monitor the situation and share my conclusions with you.

Is Rodrigo camp? I'd not noticed that. I agree he seems really nice, I like him so far
We've known men who are gay but only one who showed signs of being camp at times but not outrageously so. Personally it wouldn't bother me to know any who were really camp if I liked them as a person. There's a few camp tv stars, won't name names, but some of them irritate me as they seem to deliberately play up to it, well on tv anyway even if not in RL

I don't think he's camp, just a gentle person. At least on the evidence so far.
There's a slightly campness to all the gay guys in there. But i quite like that.
I reckon Roddy will get quite emotional later on in the series. He seems to wear his heart on his sleeve.

Charlie isn't camp? 
he's as camp as a row of pink tents with Judy Garland painted on the side

None of them seem camp to me.
One man's camp is anothers tea-time entertainer.

Hello??? Did you miss Charlie's walk as soon as he got out of the car? THAT'S camp!
THAT'S camp!
One of my best mates is a gay man and he gave up on BB because it really annoyed him that they always put in a 'screaming queen' or a 'muscle Mary' (his words not mine). He says it has a really negative impact on the way gay men are perceived. There are plenty of gay men that fall into both of these categories but I think there are more who don't. My mate and his partner are just a pretty average, down to earth blokes who happens to be gay.

I don't mind a camp guy, or a butch woman IF that is trully part of their personality and not some kind of act to make themselves stand out from the crowd.

Same here Queenie, my best mate goes(he's gay) ballistic when he sees what passes as your 'averag'e gay guy in the BB house. DOn't think that Charlie is all that camp, however who knows, its only day 1.
It is fascinating to spot the campness when the person is not trying to be camp.
Some campness is revealed no matter how hard the person may try to hide it.
Charlie can`t hide it. It is just there.

They're all camp. Miner all me life
