Default Where are the Alpha Males ?

Having watched this series of BB thus far I am like everyone else enjoying the mix of HM and their interactions. Some of the HM show promise and some are just dire and need to go asap, but tonight a thought occurred to me that this year we have no real Alpha Males in the house. Usually there is at least one out and out Alpha Male who rules the roost ( in his mind) and tries it on with the best looking female. Usually a complete knob but entertaining and part of the overall house dynamic.

But this year we don't seem to have any, Callum is too wet, Sam too young, the twins are just odd, Daley is non existant quieter than a wallflower , Dan is gay and Dexter well Dexter is just weird. Not a real Alpha male amongst them.

I think the house needs a fresh injection of Beefcake if only to shake things up in there as its all gone very bitchy and catty....!!!!

I think they probably figured Callum or Daley would be one

"alpha male" is the dominant man, which is Dan... I dont know why you brought his sexuality up?

The alpha female is probably Jackie.

Neither are too expressive of this role which makes this BB a lot more interesting. There is little attention to social heirachy except Dexter is at the bottom and Gina sits just above him. This is conflicted however as they may be bottom of the social heirachy within the house but as they have survived both evictions they are simultaneously at the top of the popularity heirachy outside the house, which the other HMs will be aware of. Causing further frustration.

Yes you would think Callum and Daley would assume that role but to be honest Callum has sniffed after Charlie and now has given up and Daley well he is just embarrassing someone needs to remind him he is on BB. He really does have all the presence of a shy ghost.

Not much for the women of the house to fight over...!!!

It's as possible for a gay to be an alpha male as it is for a woman to be an alpha male. Being normal sexually is integral to being alpha.

To be honest Alpha Male's are usually dominant Heterosexual males , I know dominance is the main trait of the "Alpha Male" tag but I think looking to fight for the best female is also a trait so yes sexuality ( heterosexuality) is a factor.

I may be wrong of course....!!!!

I always thought "alpha" roles were all down to personality...............

I cant say I care though. But imo Dan is the alpha male because hes most dominant, leads etc.

It's possible that Dan is a fake homosexual. I have seen him have to adjust his boner a few times after that hot Irish chick rubbed her beautiful cans up against him.

I also have a sneaky feeling Dan is playing a gay card or at least a bisexual card as he clearly likes Hazel and not in a sisterly way.

Perhaps although he was lying on top of Hazel he was actually thinking of Dexter...??

That is probably his secret, he's not really a homosexual. Hazel is going to be so confused.

Well to be fair he does look like the Alpha Male until of course he walks and then the illusion of Alpha Maleness is rudely shattered by his girlie prancing walk , most women seeing that would probably just sigh and curse their bad fortune...!!!

Sexual orientations aside, Dan is the alpha male right now, neither Callum or Daley have stepped up to claim the role, they seem to be happy being the ghosts of the house, either way the females are way more dominant this series, almost all of them have very strong characters. The gender heirachy could be something like this.

Perhaps the Alpha male roles are filled by Alpha females this year.

I guess it is a human right to be allowed to be considered an alpha male or something now.

Dan is alpha male but one of the weakest alphas there has ever been.
