Hard to take the OP too seriously when he is a Marcy fanboy but then the complaint seems to be less about a teenage audience and more about the specific type of teenage audience/products being aimed at. The 'squeaky clean' acts as opposed to maybe more chavvy or goth or gritty acts?

Personallyme, I don't mind if BB does want to have so many youth HMs who might be aimed at the 16-22 year old crowd. I'm that old skool 'purist' type who does want to see a representation of the public at large. There ought to be some younger ones.
My problem is taking what was mostly an 'adult socio-psychological experiment' with some sort of age and class representation reflecting the society and turning it into an exclusively 16-22 year old Summer pool party for idiots. 3 months of Noirin and Isaac and 'first gay kisses' and which girl wants to yank out anothers hair extensions. Ugh!

But I must be getting old because I only just recently figured out what a Miley Cyrus was as opposed to a 'Hannah Montana' and how to spell 'Girls Aloud' (??) and the truth is that most of the time I have absolutely no idea who the CBB young pop stars are.
Sometimes I don't know who the old pop stars are either heh.
but,
They have to get a mix of young, middle and old and there is the magic formula for a great season.
