Mixed for me, the wider the age gap the better too.

[reece(:]

1/4 older
3/4 younger

Two old people to play mum and dad.

Lea and Richard were the perfect mum and dad role, it was actually sad when they were up for eviction against each other

Mixed is better. Although I think when we all say we want 'old' housemates we mean no older than 50, 60 absolute maximum - I don't enjoy watching a series of an old person I think could die at any given moment.

[Natalie.]

I would like a mix of ages and not all in their 20's

[cheeky_monkey]

A mix of different ages

[Dash Darington]

I love an old housemate who could die. A cranky one, please.

[Headie]

Not here for a repeat of BB12.

[Sophiee]

I prefer a mix of ages but not too many older housemates, maybe 1 or 2 but that's enough because they tend to be less willing to have fun.

[Kizzy]

A good mix

[reece(:]

If they put older ones in they need to be like Lesley, Victoria and Carole

Mixed/Various Ages is better as you get to see the interaction between different ages

[Mystic Mock]

Various as it makes it more fun for us to watch the older and younger HM's (who normally don't have much in common with each other) having to put up with each other for 10 weeks.

A mix for me of different ages, classes, occupations etc...

Youngest should be around 20. Average between 25-35. Oldest housemate must be over 45. Older housemates do provide entertainment.

Three 20-23 year olds
Seven 24-33 year olds.
Two 34-39 year olds.
Two Over 40s.

Very young house mates usually have nothing to them. The mid 20s-mid 30s are much better housemate in regards to quality going by my favourites.

[Rob!]

BB12. Do you need any more evidence?

I don't like seeing mum and dad types complaining about the noise and trying to get people to go to bed early -- that type of older person/personality shouldn't be cast IMO. I like seeing mostly people in their 20s and 30s and if there are older people, just like anyone else, they should be in really good physical condition, able to handle tasks/challenges.

I agree that type of housemate is often boring and sticks by all the rules which isn't always great entertainment, but the arguing with the young ones about staying up can be .

Maaaaybe two of those arguments could be entertaining but after that it gets pretty redundant!

[armand.kay]

We need a crazy old woman who likes to party (not Denise crazy).

[smeagol]

i just want personalities age of the housemate shouldn't matter.
you can have boring 20 year olds and boring old gits. makes no difference. i want people will some life in them, mixed is always interesting anyway there's divides there shouldn't be but there is
