Thank god for Jim and the older HM's being in there.

[Videostar]

As the younger ones are just stupid and dull.

Ollie is ok but isn't a celeb and doesn't really say anything interesting.

[Verbal]

This is what i've always said about this show, the main show would be far more interesting if we had more mature people in there, instead of hyperactive, sex obsessed wannabes.

Totally agree.

[Jordan.]

I think the opposite but okay

[MeMyselfAndI]

More Luisa's, Jasmines & Dappy 's and less Lionel, Evanders & Lkndas are needed

[reece(:]

Younger >

[Jezzy]

Surely you need both? For good tv it should be generation clashes vs titillation?

100% agree,but everytime they start to have a decent convo the camera pans to the wannabees,Grrr

[Jezzy]

Linda and Jim can soooood off tho.

[Cherie]

There isn't a good division though 90% of the HLs tonight was just cringey crap.

[Lee.]

I've always disliked Jim Davidson, but he's currently one of my favourites!

[smeagol]

dont think age matters does it. depends on the person. jim can party and joke and be dirty etc with the best of them. i'm looking forward to seeing him open up more. at mo he is being good.

the nolan woman needs to lighten up thats a age thing but the rest even lional seems ok

none are that young lol they just act young

[Nemo123]

Jim is pure gold dust. On the face of it he's an obnoxious right wing misogynist, but on the other, he's charismatic and funny. He can charm his way to win this.

:joker: I was thinking that tonight, wondering what was wrong with me, when I was actually enjoying Jim.

[Verbal]

He's a Tory supporting Thatcherite, he won't win this.

it gets worse each series.

[Brother Leon]

More Luisa's, Jasmines & Dappy 's and less Lionel, Evanders & Lkndas are needed

[2]

Lee and Casey are pretty dull though, so I'll give you that.

[Nemo123]

Thatcher was the longest serving PM, and her lot are in at the moment. I think he can win it.

Well said

[Niamh.]

the younger ones this year have to be the trashiest yet

[Kazanne]

I'm quite liking Jim,he does make me laugh I want to see more of the older ones,afterall we've seen all there is to the young ones it will be the same all the way through.

[Josy]

Eurgh age discrimination, can you not have an opinion on the housemates as individuals rather than lump them all into age category's.

I can imagine some of the replies in here if the older housemates were all being labelled as dull and boring tbh.

Just as an example, Sam I would class as one of the 'younger' ones in there and her behaviour so far has been fine.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Sam & Ollie are the omly 'normal' younger ones & they're the ones from reality TV :laugh:

[anne666]

There needs to be a good mix of ages but most of the younger ones are trashy
attention seekers and of course getting the airtime. What have they done with Sam? She is my favourite female.

I like Sam and Ollie,the others though are one trick ponies

[Nemo123]

The Liz and Jim conversation was promising. Perhaps they won't pull their punches the next time.

[smeagol]

if jim supports that nobhead david cameron i will dislike him. and be surprised if he did.

[Chuck]

I can enjoy the young housemates having fun and the older ones talking about more serious things. Don't need to choose. :shrug:

[anne666]

He's a Tory supporting Thatcherite, he won't win this.

Yes he is...He's also media savvy ,very aware of being on show and his bad reputation.

[Jezzy]

I do like Sam. What's she like on TOWIE?

[Jemal]

So annoying.

[Nemo123]

Jim comes across as the worst kind of Tory, a working class Tory, like Alf Garnett. But he didn't get 2 huge prime time BBC Saturday night slots, Generation Game and Big Break, without having massive appeal.

They have been labelled as boring and dull already Josy lol.

[Josy]

They have been labelled as boring and dull already Josy lol.

My point was if someone made a thread lumping all of the older housemates into one category and saying they are all stupid and dull there would be hell on.

Housemates should be judged as individuals not by what age they are.

I also wouldn't exactly describe Lee, Jasmine and Dappy as being youngsters tbh Jasmine is 31, Lee is 30 and Dappy is 26/27.

[sampvt]

Ive been saying it for years. The producers cant organise a proper show and without the older element it would be chaos. They have really scrapped the barrel with these youngsters this time, they are cringe worthy and so desperate to grab airtime.

That's true, he was one of the poster boys, troops entertainer. Nothing inherently wrong in that but he does still represent what the Thatcher generation was mostly about imo.

[Nemo123]

Yes he is...He's also media savvy ,very aware of being on show and his bad reputation.

He's right wing, male chauvinistic, and homophobic, and racist even. But he did emerge out of the 1970's, where none of those qualities were necessarily bad or detrimental to your popularity. Au contraire.

But seriously. BB Last of the Summer Wine would be worse.

[Black Dagger]

Nah.

Dappy, Luisa and Ollie (Lee is in his 30's he doesn't count) > Linda and Jim pmsl.

[Jezzy]

:tongue:

Which is self above society. What people like Jim are about is doing it for themselves, and their politics is if I did it so too can you, which is patently false.

[Samm]

Jim is the most annoying person in there

[sampvt]

Isnt it marvellous. If an older man does something rude, he is a pervert but when a kid does it they are soooooo cool and current.

Good point

[Jezzy]

no, pervy is pervy. who's cool? i'm missing this.

[Black Dagger]

You obviously haven't seen the recent thread on here about Dappy saying he's repulsive etc.

[chuff me dizzy]

Agree thank God for the older housemates, apart from Ollie, Lee

[Nemo123]

It's only perverted if you're repulsive. But if you're gorgeous like George Clooney, you can have your pick of women, from 16 to 106.

[Northern Monkey]

I'm liking the contrasting mixture of the two.I am in between them both age wise so appreciate the younger and older.I'm enjoying this series.

[BigSister]

If the younger ones curbed it a bit i wouldnt mind but at the moment they are just one trick ponies. The older ones would have a chance if they were shown.

[smudgie]

I think it is a great mix this year.
We all need someone to moan about, so pointless putting all the same type of people in.

[rionablue]

Im liking them all for the most part cept Lionel. The younger ones are entertaining whether we agree with what they are doing or not and we want to watch entertaining people not bores

[joeysteele]

I like the mix that is in actually however I would like to see a fair balance of all the housemates on the edited highlights and not just the usual boring under the duvet antics.

If this series was balanced out right on the highlights programming as to time for all the housemates it could end up one of the very best.

[chuff me dizzy]

One of the best groups of older housemates for years !! really like all of them ,adding so much more to the show than the wannabbes

[Vanessa]

I do like Jim and the others. Not too keen on Linda.

[mrmattybeck1]

See ive always preferred the younger house mates :)

[Vanessa]

See ive always preferred the younger house mates :)

Me too, but this lot of older housemates are good.

[mrmattybeck1]

Me too, but this lot of older housemates are good.

Yeah it just needs to make sure we have the mix of the two

[Vanessa]

Yeah it just needs to make sure we have the mix of the two

It's still early. I'm sure it will settle.

[mrmattybeck1]

It's still early. I'm sure it will settle.

Exactly so far this series has been brilliant so far

[arista]

Yes Jim is a good Mix among them.

[Sophiee]

the younger ones are far more entertaining, as usual. linda was attempting to stop luisa from bitching, evander doesn't speak much and when he does it's offensively, liz's facial expressions never alter and she won't get involved or party, lionel gets 'upset' over other people talking about sexual things. that sums it up in itself :laugh:.

[Lostie!]

How exactly is a bunch of sexually-frustrated attention seekers getting off with each other and going on about their supposed sex lives "entertaining"?

I get the impression some people just watch BB to get off to.

And it's not really an age thing. I'm 21, and I find them boring.

For one so young Jelly,you are very wise:hugesmile:

[james130]

Agree,
This is why I watched a week of bb12 and couldn't stand it.
Because they were all stupid TOWIE-wannabes. :idc:

[letmein]

As the younger ones are just stupid and dull.

Ollie is ok but isn't a celeb and doesn't really say anything interesting.

He's as big a celeb as the rest of them. :joker:

[Videostar]

In the days when BB was really good they never had any HM's below the age of 22-23, and most of the line up used to be in their 30s or above, but the balance was far better.

[Videostar]

He's as big a celeb as the rest of them. :joker:

I just don't think this reality TV show should import reality TV people from other shows, it cheapens BB...Charlotte Crosby, enough said. ;)

[Bojangles]

Thatcher was the longest serving PM, and her lot are in at the moment. I think he can win it.

Ang on ere. What's politics got to do with Big Brother?

[Bojangles]

Lets see more of Jim.

[Bojangles]

3 minutes to go folks.
