it's dumb af

they are nominating her because she could get annoyed with the bedroom antics eventually, not for something that has already happened/how she has been with them :umm2:

At the risk of everyone saying I am wrong I think that every housemate should be allowed nominate for whatever reason they need to give. Eileen is very popular on here that's why her fans are crying #FOUL when the younger housemates brought up the fact that she is older than them and they don't want to be disturbing her when she sleeping etc etc etc. If I was absolutely struggling to give a reason to nominate someone I hadn't exactly bonded with I would possibly have given something along the same reason as a nomination as it doesn't have such a sting in its tail when it is put that way

Eileen is years older than everyone and BB should have put a more diverse range of ages in the house like they always did. BB isn't just a kids game. Therefore it is natural that the younger housemates would have a better bond with each other as they have so much in common. I like Eileen she went right up my list of housemates after her secret mission but lets be honest up to then she had hardly featured much atall in the highlights shows. So I for one wont be calling FOUL and there is no reason whatsoever for her army of fans to fear she will be evicted. She will be the first one saved Friday night mark my words

No way, I think it is a ridiculous reason and should not be a valid one at all.

As for Eileen wanting to sleep when they don't, well wow, what a response they would get from me if once I had settled down for the night anyone woke me.
That is one of my strongest dislikes.

All beasts would be let loose when I let fly at anyone disturbing my sleep and waking me up.

It's age discrimination.

Completely ridiculous reasons like that shouldn't be allowed

All of the reasons were ridiculous.

Nominating because of age, because someone nominated you, because they are quiet in a group...

Shows how the producers make things up as they go along. Going hard and arsey on Nick last Friday night when he nominated yet letting the rest of them get away with cop-out reasons.

No, age should not be a reason to nominate - its ageist, it's wrong! It's a cop out.

The age range this time round isn't representative of the audience it attracts. There should be more 40 - 70's in there to create some balance.

Agree, it's discrimination, should not be allowed.:nono:

I t.think she is an easy target because her age makes her the odd one out. I don't understand why BB don't mix ages more.

This really, it's stupid

No it shouldn't be allowed

No. If racism, sexism and genderism(?) isn't okay, then neither is ageism.
I wish BBUK would take a leaf out of BBAustralia's book. Their BB is much more strict when it comes to giving reasons to nominate.

To be fair it was only age-related. The fundamental reason was the bedroom/sleep situation and noise at night. If they stated purely "because shes old" of course.

...I absolutely love Eileen.
