Older HMs in the house

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

What do you think of older housemates in the house (as in 55+)? We've had Carole and Lesley in BB8 but didn't have any last year. I don't really mind, as long as they are entertaining and hygienic.

I enjoyed Lesley - she made me laugh - she was very comical.

Im thinking an old man should be in there, as in...Older than Jonty...about 60/70 year old. Would be funny, as everyone else would be Younger. But, im all up for having an older housemate.

Usually they are annoying as hell

Loved Lesley and Carole

And I loved Sandy from BB3

I couldn't stand Lesley. I thought she was annoying. She went through the whole audition process which thousands of people across the UK and got through and somehow actually got through to the house and then left after four days when A LOT of people would have loved to be in the house.

Waste of space. Either they can't hack it and walk out or they sit around doing the washing & cooking, or they sleep half the day.

Well she wasn't exactly treated great by the other housemates, so I don't blame her. I liked her.

As for older housemates, I want a dirty old woman who's constantly smoking and applying lipstick.

OK having older ones
but I think they should do all 19 year olds
as they have the right to change anything.

Well i lot people will not agree with me here, but i loved Jayne (BB7) i would like someone like her in the house but a bit older.

[Indierock&roll]

i loved jayne from bb7 too i thought she was hilarious

but old people do annoy me in it unless there like really funny

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Oh yeah, totally forgot about Jayne in BB7 :laugh:

Jayne was one of my least favourite HMs ever. Ruined the House Next Door surprise by making too much noise, fed Nikki loads of lies about the outside world, then sat back enjoying immunity as Nikki was evicted instead. So BB had to fiddle things to have Nikki put back in and the show lost credibility - how can someone who has been evited still be in with a chance of winning?

Jayne wasn't old, just infantile.
