WTF She's far from old. You'd think she was 90 by the way they go on about her age.

Northern Monkey · 19-05-2015, 10:12 AM

It's just an excuse for an easy nom.

Urgh, it really pisses me off. And she's a better housemate than they'll ever be.

Mokka · 19-05-2015, 10:14 AM

shouldn't be allowed as an excuse anymore than a nom for race, gender or sexual preference would be.

hhmmm I disagree with that. I mean it is understandable that alot of times people will get on better with people closer in age and experience as themselves, and that older people might not be as up for partying and missing sleep as younger people are. not in every case of course but Eileen pretty much said as much herself about the going to bed part.

Then say that it's because she doesn't like to party till 5 am and because she got mad about missing sleep... those are not necessarily age related complaints. She agreed that she is wired to need sleep, but not that she was too old to be in the house.

Huge difference in my opinion.

Vanessa · 19-05-2015, 10:25 AM

The twins also go to bed early, but no one holds it against them.

But it probably is because she's older though, it's not "ageist" it's just a fact of life. People change when they get older (in general) I know I'm different now to when I was in my early twenties, so what? It's life, it's not a big deal and it's not an insult. People are making something of nothing imo

Gusto Brunt · 19-05-2015, 10:27 AM

I keep saying this though. WHY does Eileen 'admit' to being 'old'???

She is not.

You'd think she were about 104.

Not the 1 year younger than she is to Brad Pitt.

I'm sure the women in the house would not object to him being in the house 'because of his age'.

She was a easy target for face to face noms

had they done nominations in Dr I don't think she would have been nominated

I agree and it really makes me mad. I hope she stays just to piss off the housemates.

So the housemates must be saying Eileen is old, yes, but ugly too.

I'm sure they'd all love a movie star in there

I doubt she will go. In a vote to evict i think Sarah is screwed.

Mick · 19-05-2015, 10:33 AM

Jim was often nominated on CBB for the same reason yet still won.I hope she stays.So far I do not see any genuine friendships forming amongst the HMs but I think this may happen for her given the chance and would be helpful to all those concerned.

She's a great housemate, so much fun.

The twins and others have gone to bed early,,, Jack lays in bed, doesn't drink, and doesn't know how to party... Eileen parties as we have seen in the party she earned. It isn't an age thing at all, but they are labeling it as such so as not to say the truth face to face... which is they just like her less than others b/c of their own bias about age.

Well if it is excuse then isn't it more tactful of them to say it in a way like that instead of I just don't like you as much as everyone else?

My point is, it's Eileen's looks they don't like.

Not the age.

Vanessa · 19-05-2015, 10:41 AM

They made her feel like she shouldn't be there because of her age and that's wrong.

We don't need tact in there... drama isn't caused by tact...

my point is being if they are nominating for age for real, they shouldn't be allowed such a bias vote... but if her actions regardless of her age is why they are voting her, they should be forced to say so

I'm not sure I agree with that. There have been older HMs in there who've not been attractive but were popular with the other HMs. Pauline from last year for example. Personally if I was to guess, i would say part of it is an age thing and not having too much in common with the younger ones and part of it is because Eileen is a bit strange and quirky and the HMs don't know what to make of her and maybe find it hard to gel with her
