Gives the show Balance

A house full of sex mad,20 yr old wannabees would be boring ,you need a good mix ,and IMO most of the older housemates this year are the best ones in there, they have lots of things to talk about, they do not centre everything about them as the wannabees do ,they can pass a mirror without pouting in it ,and Its not because Im over 21 that I think this way, its because older people have lived longer, and have interesting things in their life, theyve passed the shallow Me,me,me stage

I find all the ages entertaining to be honest and I don't think the younger ones have less to talk about.

Theres 7 people over 30 in there from 30 to 82. It is diverse this year which is good but I don't agree that the younger housemates are less interesting.

I hate all the age/gender generalisations tbh I don't understand why people can't just be judged as individuals

Niamh I usually love your posts and we have been on the same page regarding housemates in the past but my point about Lionel being a bit old for the show if he is offended by stuff that happens on it doesn't mean that another person of a similar age couldn't be on the show. There are plenty of our elderly friends who are young at heart and clued in with todays society. Lionel just looks like a cantankerous old man. I found it hard to like him even before the Jasmine episode. Just my humble opinion. I am in no way saying that the house should be full of youngsters. Balance is a good thing
