Yeah I find the older housemates are isolated more (Carole and Tracey) as they don't seem to fit in with the younger housemates. Laura also seems to stay away from the groups but I think she prefers not to get involved and genuinely gets along with everyone individually.

There are always groups on Big Brother - in BB5 you had the "Jungle Cats" and the "Lipgloss Bitches", BB6 was "Team Maxwell" or whatever and BB7 was the "Plastics" so it's quite a common thing to have at least one group in the house during the early days. Once housemates get evicted and there's a few left I think they will start integrating more with each other and anyone who was left on the outside will begin to feel more comfortable around the others.
