Oldest Cast in Ages?

[*mazedsalv**]

People moan about the series being "too young", but isn't this year one of the oldest ever?

Yes we have ten Under 30 but...

Twins- 30
Evelyn- 30
Laura- 30
Charlie- 31
Hughie- 31
Andy- 34
Jason- 45
Chelsea- 48
Jayne- 49
Natalie- 52

I think that is the most over 40s in a while on BB.

Compare that to...

BB1 where all Hms bar Caroline, Nick and Tom were under 30.
BB2 where all HMs bar Dean, Stuart or Penny were under 30
BB3 where all Hms bar Lynn and Sandy were under 30
BB4 were all HMs bar Cameron, Gos and Lisa were under 30.

etc...

So, please, look at the facts. The cast are getting older, not younger.

[reece(:]

Yes and weirdly it doesn't feel like it.

I keep forgetting the enviro Twins are 30.

[Rob!]

This cast. I love them even more seeing those numbers

[Drew.]

Christ, i thought the twins were about 20

[Jack_]

It's very good, easily the best mix on C5

Just a shame there's not the diversity there was in other facets like BB10

[reece(:]

Btw Evelyn is 20 and Hughie is 21.

Still not enough freaks tho.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

This cast has a lot of energy. Doesn't feel old at all. Feels young

[MB.]

But when we get 60 and 70 year olds in CBB it doesn't seem as impressive

[MB.]

It's probably one of the most diverse in terms of sexuality, though - of the male cast alone, three of them are gay and another's bi

First male foursome?

True, but then I quite liked BB16's cast on launch because they all seemed relatively normal so idk

I like a mix :laugh:

First male foursome?

Rylan to watch through the camera runs with his cock out like a porno?

There we are, incl the others, only average age over 30!

[reece(:]

There's still no Lesley Brain in this cast tho.

[RichardG]

i moaned about the hms being too young earlier but i must not have been paying enough attention to their ages if that's the case, they all look like young beautiful 20 year old :laugh:

they all seem to know each other though, they're obviously prevalent on the z list scene. i wasn't paying too much attention to twitter but whenever i occasionally looked there seemed to be a lot of moaning about the media connections they all have, i really hope people stick with it tho and it rates well because OMG it felt so much more professional (minus the crowd :omgno:) they've put notably more effort into production this year

[Amy Jade]

I still wanted a crazy old lady :(

[Wizard.]

yes Evelyn is actually 20 but fkn hell I thought Charlie was about 49 :hehe:

[Jason.]

I'm surprised to see BB6's average is that low tbh but then I remember about a third of the cast were 19 years old so

See how BB6 and BB12 have the same average age but polar opposite series. Says a lot

Their diversity was mega different

[Gstar]

Can a mod infract me for putting BB6 ans BB12 in the same sentence

[Withano]

Its a good mix of ages, its just a pisspoor mix of personality traits. Half of them are just gobby, sexy and stupid and all of the others (excluding Andy) have at least one of those three traits too, just like 95% on C5 housemates before them.

[Jason.]

BB6, BB12, and BB13 are the lowest 3.

BB12 is the lowest with 24.06 whilst BB6's is 24.44. And BB13's is 24.76.

BB6 and BB13 are quite close actually and BB13 is like C5's take on BB6 imo. So there's a similarity there.

[Headie]

There's only ever been 5 HMs who are 50+ (Natalie included) - and they've all been female (Lesley, Jackie, Carole, Natalie & Eileen)

[Jason.]

An old man on civvy BB would be dull tbh. :worry: The closest we've gotten was Jonathan BB8 who was 49 and look how that turned out

He was still one of the better males that series

As was Simon last year

[Jason.]

Jonathan was one of the worst males in BB8 imo

IA with Simon though

Yes, that's the problem - regardless of age (or ethnicity) they all seem to be Z-Lister clones, like the cast of Hollyoaks or Emmerdale.

[Headie]

As was Simon last year

Not Evil Jonathon being one of the best BB8 males!

Him, Gerry and Ziggy were easily the unholy trinity, with Seany and Liam itching to join them too

[MB.]

I want a random 80-year old man to rock up and have no idea what he's doing

[Headie]

Ahmed was great though <333 I agree that sticking to females is best :clap1:

oop I thought he was messy and witty and didn't stick around too long to grate

Gerry, Ziggy, Liam and Jonty remain the worst imo!

[*mazedsalv**]

Jason is like the 2nd oldest male HM ever, isn't he behind Simon? What about Derek and Jonathan?

[Jack_]

no shade for legends Gerry and Jonty

[MB.]

He can't be the second oldest HM ever because Chelsea's older than him

[reece(:]

Diabolical

[*mazedsalv**]

Woops, I meant Chelsea.

He's up there isn't he?

[Headie]

Enough said.

[MB.]

Woops, I meant Chelsea.

He's up there isn't he?

Yeah, if Jonathan was 49 then that'd make him the second oldest

(I can't remember how old Simon was but he was probably a vampire anyway so eh)

Can we please have one thread that doesn't have Jonty Stern's penis in it

A vile man! Creepy and shudder evoking

[Headie]

Have a feeling out of the Others it's gonna be 1 male and 1 female who get evicted for real, and the other 4 move into the main house. I like all 3 oldie gals in the Others house, I don't want any of them to be evicted tbh, they all should move into the main house and have kitchen battles.

[reece(:]

I think Simon was 46

nn Natalie and Jayne battling it out for BB17 kitchen monster?

:joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker:

All I see here is evidence of why he was a good housemate, he was a ****ing mess. What would you prefer him to have done? It's far better when housemates take things like that to heart, if they just accepted it and brushed it off that would be pretty boring

'I start telling a story and everybody's running away, when Brian's telling a story about you know...cider...everybody loves to listen' :joker:

Him talking to the camera. MESS. Sitting on the bathroom sofa saying 'you have to be strong' :laugh2:

'I don't know if I want to stay in Britain anymore' LOOOOOL :laugh3:

All this over a little task! What more could you want?!

[Samm]

I congrat them on getting a good age mix, but more ethics diversity was also needed a tad

[drantb]

Only slightly promising thing about them tbh.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Why did some of the HMs give there age & some didn't
, if I remember correctly all previous years we have knowing there ages on launch night.

[Tinsel Toes]

Yes and weirdly it doesn't feel like it.

I keep forgetting the enviro Twins are 30.

Wouldn't be because they behave like over excited children ?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Who's the youngest one? Maybe Marco? He's 20

[TomC]

I quite like the cast in terms of the age range we'v been given , but FB are absolutely slating the line up which is a shame.

No one cares what they think anyway :joker::hehe:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

good

more life lived means more interesting people

same on tibb

the older members are by far the bestest

all the young ones are shocking


:hee:

[alex_front2]

Ahmed was great though <333 I agree that sticking to females is best :clap1:
I co-signer. BB5 Ahmed was the best male (bar bb11 Aaron) which is impressive as that was the best ever cast.
Ahmed was a middle aged guy, a Muslim, not attractive IMHO, but bloody entertaining, mad, and quite controversial. Sadly he would ever get chosen now.

[alex_front2]

It's probably one of the most diverse in terms of sexuality, though - of the male cast alone, three of them are gay and another's bi
OK Ryan Andy a day Sam are gay. Who is the bi one?

[Oaker]

Well Facebook shouldn't really be taken seriously since they keep complaining that the cast is 'too young' :umm2:

[hot2go]

15 of the housemates are age 20 to 31....and most of girls are cut from same cloth ... ... ....really disappointing group...Guys have a broader mix but almost all the girls are the type who like to pout at the camera like dummies

totally disagree - great mix of people and the fact they are not all 16 tells me it is going to be more about a psychological game which BB is meant to be about.

[Parmy]

I feel less guilty about the twins now.
