Default New concept for the possibly final civilian BB....
Only allow 45 to 60 year olds.....Joe made a very good point on BOTS and I actually agreed.

We all watch CBB and it's usually the older housemates that give the entertainment.

Or what about doing a pensioner version? Lol I mean we've had teen BB so why not?

Imo it's actually a really fresh idea....getting the older generation in who speak their minds and have genuine things to talk about sounds like a hit to me.

Hardly any youngsters watch BB they need to cater to their audience.

Bring in Busto from BBUS6 to call the 3 people in the crowd pieces of shit when they jeer her for not being British

Yeah I actually think it would be a great idea. People with real life experience would be very interesting to watch.

It's worked in CBB, they usually have an older group.

Do you not think it would be hilarious and an actual social experiment putting a bunch of OAP's in the house?

Tv gold.....we all have or have had grans who just say it as it is and that's what we need.....age is just a number.

Actually to edit that yes old people are hilarious because they just chat the truth BUT it would be interesting how they deal with the pc crew of today.

Well tried emailing him but he's blocked me after I posted this YouTube clip.

He's not a tit like Marcus Bentley but he's well on his way.

But really the older ones provide the entertainment by clashing with other generations, rarely with their own.

Not here for Betty and Theresa cleaning the bathroom.

I'd like to see a wider array of age groups. Half and half would be ideal - half in their 20's and 30's, half 40+. Regular people would be nice too.

There has barely been any good housemates between the ages of 45 to 60. Most of the greats were in their 20s and 30s. I'm all for having more diverse ages but having a house full of grannies and grandads would be crap.

That's actually a really good idea.

Pensioners vs wannabes lol. The fact is BB needs a big shake up to get interest again and they need to pull a stunt which has never been done before and actually intersting and original.

Totally here for OAPBB still.
