not enough older people

[mrswendy63]

:flower I wa hoping there would have been more of a mix of ages of people. There are too many students/young people and it would have been more interesting having some older people in the house like last year

[marctierman]

yer i agree

[x_mel_x]

'Like last year'-Maybe the fact there were older people like Carole in their made it a boring series.

[marctierman]

i dont think it was the people that made last year boring it was the tasks and the twists

[Kore]

I dont think its about age. its about personality.

I think this year is a good bunch.

[marctierman]

actually yer i guess that's true lol

I completly disagree.

BB5 and 6 were IMO the best, and they were mainly students!

[mrswendy63]

:wavey: students and younger people are great in BB but i enjoyed watching the older people as i am an older person my daughter is a student and the older people bring something different into the show

I am an old fossil so certainly do not want to watch more old fossils on BB.....BB is for the young and healthy. Even Mario is too old!!!!:bigsmile:

im glad they are all young. i wish there was some more good looking lads in there though. theres so many goodlooking girls.

Spot on. They never provide enough suitable guys for the girls....

people like carole and jonty make it boring. carole ruined that series. she promised conflict but used pity and being the oldest to get everything her way. what a bloody lying bitch. old people simply dont have enough energy, and ruin the young peoples fun

[big_brother_mad]

Yeh i agree, they need more older people in there!

[Feral]

There should be more of a mixed group - no 30- 40 year olds (although Kat is 30)

Do not think that as you age you get boring!! There are yoofs whom are dull as dish water also!!! :sad:

But remember - more HM's could come into the house and could be any age.

[letmein]

Older people are always what weighs the show down. Early 40s should be the cut-off. Older than that, no way. They usually never make it through to the end, and always complain. This year is perfect! :thumbs:

[CallumJoshuaSturt]

Erm i like it with no old people in it

[kevinyeah]

old people r boring from bb's experience

[Moses455]

If this is all about a group of people from the public being enclosed in a house, why should they all be 19-24? Boring. Bring in a couple of people in their 40's-60's.

[Kore]

I dont think its boring whatsoever. The personalities in there are good!!

[stonedape]

For one, I don't think its fair to put a 50 year old in with a bunch of 20-somethings...they are always alienated and its too predictable.

Second, they could cast old people that are young at heart (like Carole seemed to be at launch) and keep things lively, but they tend to cast old people that act even older for their age.

I like the ages in this year's cast...it keeps things less predictable and lively.

Can't really think of any memorable older contestants really, not really hoping for another Sandy from BB3, wanting to sit around and having a whazz in the bin.

[Kore]

haha!!! i remember Sandy doing that!

1) There haven't been many older contestants, so less to be memorable in the first place.

2) Derek wasn't memorable?

3) Everyone remembers Carole (even if they hate her, your argument is one of how memorable).

[xSammyx]

i think its fine with more young people
more action
some older people in past big brothers everyone seemed to moan at anyway
e.g. Susie and her tea making lol :sleep:

[Spike]

I don't care about age, as along as they are entertaining

[bovvered?]

Speaking as someone the same age as Carol..... I would second NOT having anyone in the show over 45.
Entertainment, stimulating debate/conversation :thumbs2:
Carol was the biggest mistake BB has ever made... who the hell wants a bitchy nagging miserable 'mum' stifling the show

[Lianatoot]

I am loving the bunch this year.....and Mario and Lisa are older, there is a 20+ year age divide between some housemates.
