Biography
Camila Rodriguez was born in Cuba. She immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was three years old. The family struggled for many years, though her father's business began to pick up and the family found success. She is very proud of her Cuban roots and often dresses and speaks with pride about the country. She is a massive fan of the show, watching the first season as well as international editions with her father. She cited Tia Jones and Tommie Davis as her favorite former housemates. Camila claimed in her pre-season interviews that she hoped to be in a successful girls alliance, and described herself as a feminist. She listed singing, dancing, and cooking as her favorite things to do, and felt that no music in the House would be the hardest thing about being on the show.

Camila entered the House on Day 9 as a Wildcard housemate, along with Brian Lewis. She and Brian made a promise to help one another in the game, and the duo joined the Three Muskateers alliance with Monica. Camila began to grow close with housemate such as Chelsea and Ian, and was considered a part of an unofficial alliance with them and their allies. She was nominated for eviction in the fourth week, and severed ties with Brian and Monica when they sided with the opposing alliance. She survived the eviction vote. In the season's first double eviction that night, Camila won the Power of Veto competition and ensured her safety. With two of her allies evicted in one night, Camila joined the Girl Power alliance with Brooke and Chelsea. Though the women were outnumbered by a large margin, Brooke became the new Head of Household and gave the alliance their first victory. The group targeted Sam for eviction, though were blindsided when Monica was instead evicted. The vote led to Camila officially being done with Brian as a player.

The women were in trouble the next week as Sam came into power. He nominated Brooke and Camila for eviction, and all hope seemed lost for the women. Max, in an attempt to play both sides of the House, worked with the women to ensure that a man was evicted instead. The foursome convinced Sam that Brian was a double agent, and that he was attempting to get the other men evicted. Sam won that week's Power of Veto and removed Brooke from the block, replacing her with Brian. Though the men realized their mistake during the week, Camila survived the eviction in a three to two vote. In that night's double eviction, Camila won both the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions. This resulted in Nick's eviction, and evened the gender divide to three and three. Sam regained power and nominated Brooke and Camila for a second time. Though Camila had the votes to remain in the game, Brooke used the power she had won during a Wildcard competition to nullify an eviction vote. This led to a tied vote, and Sam chose to evict Camila. She was evicted on Day 51, spending 43 days total in the House. She was the fourth member of the jury, and voted for Chelsea to win the season.

Upon leaving the House, Camila continued her work as a college student and went on to earn her bachelor's in business. She was a fan favorite during the season, and was met with a warm reception outside of the House. She was contacted about becoming a host of The Big Brother Mash-Up spin-off series, though had to decline due to her schooling. She instead accepted an offer to appear on the Big Brother Road Trip, along with other alumni from the first two seasons. She and fellow housemate Ian Nguyen participated in cast interviews for the Big Brother: Danger Zone premiere season. She appeared on the The Big Brother Mash-Up "all-star" week, among other housemates deemed memorable from the game, to compete for cash prizes.
