Leslie - already trying too hard and being an irritating idiot

[jegmeister]

playing on his "campness" to cover up the fact he isn't funny. Attention-seeker or what? Very soon, this guy is going to get very irritating - like Mark - it's me,me,me. And he's 59??!? wtf - he looks 20 years older. He's aged incredibly if that is his real age.

[Marsh.]

He is camp. How else is he supposed to act? :umm2:

Would you rather he reign it in and pretend to be something he's not - ie. be fake? :nono:

[Pincho Paxton]

He's obviously a Diary Room chatter. We always get one.

[CaudleHalbard]

I'm inclined to agree he may get annoying. His persona does comes across as a bit of an act.

Early days though.

I think he is being fake, playing up to the cameras. Just like Mark. But let's see if I'm wrong. Let's see if he is still as massively over the top and full on with this behaviour in 2 weeks time - somehow I doubt it.

Did you know of him before the show?

If you did you'd know this is him.

It could wear thin but I don't think he's being fake.

[Heaven = Winner]

No. He's always been this flamboyant. It's definitely not an act, lol.

Well. I don't watch Will and Grace so you could be right. If so, he is just an annoying git who will get on my nerves. Unfortunately, he is exactly the sort of person who could win the show.

Yeah, he's pretty much been flamboyant in all of his roles, (especially in Will and Grace) if I'm not mistaken.

I actually really like him as a housemate so far. I think he's actually pretty funny and genuine. :)

[elliebrew]

Reactions and over analysis like this after 1 day just makes my teeth itch

Your determined to pigeonhole him into a predetermined hole you've made up in your head, a standard set by housemates that have gone before

The fact your even comparing that idiot mark to a TV legend like Leslie is LAUGHABLE

[Marsh.]

Didn't you make a "Best series everrrrrr!!!!" on BB15 launch night?

1/ I didn't say best EVER I said better than the last 5 series! Which it was proved right

2/ Leslie is a TV legend whose been around for a long time. In every interview I've ever seen him in he's the same. Charming, camp, funny, cute, outrageous
Everyone whose ever interviewed him says he's the nicest man ever. Hundreds of first hand testimonials to PROVE he isn't faking his persona.

So I'm sorry I won't have idiots trying to discredit a legend because certain individuals LOVE to draw comparison with past NOBODIES who turned out to be fake, just because they dont like the camp Schtick

Every fat woman is now turned on in BB because its 'fixed for her to win', every camp man is now Fake.

The villains are the true winners in BB these days

Nice people always finish last in BB fans eyes

[Marsh.]

1/ I didn't say best EVER I said better than the last 5 series! Which it was proved right

Hence why I said "Oh no, it was this" and provided a link. A huge reaction and judgement in the first 24 hours.

Lovely rant but not really what I took issue with. It was that someone had such a huge reaction on day 1, which you did with BB15. :)

Well my issue wasn't the day one opinion! It was the desperate attempt to discredit a genuine person because the FM doesn't like camp Schtick

You latched onto the day 1 thing to try and discredit me and make me look a fool

Not today satan

Discredit you?

No, just point out the funny irony. You don't like over analysis on day 1.

[rionablue]

I am finding him annoying at the moment but am prepared to give him a chance as its early days. I didn't know him as I have never watched Will and Grace. Lets see how he pans out lol

[elliebrew]

No irony there

The OP hated Mark

Has decided to tar the lovely Leslie with the same brush and is now trying to spread the 'fake' lie

[Marsh.]

No irony there

Yes there is. You don't like over analysis on day 1 and yet you did it with BB15. :xyxwave:

Typically immature response

Fail to answer all my points yet harp on one IRRELEVENT point because it suits your thin and weak argument

Patronising much

I've responded to you because you keep quoting me. :laugh:

I won't answer your other points because they are taking issue with the OP, why should I answer for him?

[the truth]

unlike mark though, this guy can be hilarious, mark was profoundly unfunny and plain nasty

[Ammi]

..I don't think it's an act at all..I think he's genuine and deliciously camp in all of the good ways and none of the irritating and 'stereotypical' ways...

..:laugh:..even my OH who rarely watches any BB has been texting me and saying how much he adores him...

[rubymoo]

Awwww....leave him alone and give him a chance!

I think he's great and you really can't form a judgement on someone after such a short time, i loved him in Will and Grace and believe he's naturally flamboyant:love:

[Helen 28]

He's great.

[waterhog]

playing on his "campness" to cover up the fact he isn't funny. Attention-seeker or what? Very soon, this guy is going to get very irritating - like Mark - it's me,me,me. And he's 59??!? wtf - he looks 20 years older. He's aged incredibly if that is his real age.

will only add to tension - great stuff.

[Liam-]

I don't understand how anyone can dislike him, he's adorable, i literally smile and laugh every time he's on screen, Mark was way very the top and fake with with it, but Leslie is genuinely this way and i for one love it

How do you know he's "playing on his campness"? Maybe that's just how he is. Would you prefer him if he acted a little more "straight"?

I really like him and I'm obviously not in the minority.

lol, funniest thing ive seen all day! he likes to clean unlike the dirty/messy BB 15 lot. Leslie to win!

[Northern Monkey]

I'm not finding him annoying yet but i can see how he might be in a few days.

[Cherie]

David McIntosh and his hyena laughing on some of the new clips are more annoying, I like Leslie at the moment

[Ammi]

..I love how he's fascinated with this 'Naughty English Duchess' as well..:laugh:...

I have a feeling he's gonna be crushed when he finds out she's not royalty:(

...awww does he have to be told, Paul..:sad:...BB could keep this up all through the show...but yeah, it'll be funny to see how he reacts when he finds out, he would so want her to be real..wouldn't we all though..?..

[Suze]

He seems ok so far. I don't think Leslie is playing on the campness at all, that is just him.

[CaudleHalbard]

It's not about the campness, per se, it's about whether it covers brittleness.

All too often on BB/CBB we have seen "jolly" people let their mask slip when the pressure is on.

[JoshBB]

Too early to analyse and pick out who you hate the most imho.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Seems genuine to me.

I don't understand how anyone could dislike him after 1 highlight show where hes been nothing but nice.

[Beso]

Oh of course he's being fake..i mean who would spend 59 years making a name for yourself and being yourself to all of a sudden start being something you are not..it makes sense.:joker:

[Northern Monkey]

I don't think he is being fake.Why would he?He has his fee and an extremely prestigious career.I'm sure winning Big Brother does'nt mean that much to him.He is an actor in some extremely popular shows and does theater,He has nothing to prove.
