Everything that was BB has now changed(apart from the BB theme)

ohh god that sounds crap

What is the target audience?????

Sadly not BB as we know it - not really surprised TBH = after this farce - anything could happen.

Roll on my hols!

No surprises there, sadly.

Desmond made it pretty clear that he wanted BB to attract a young audience to C5.

That's not the only common denominator.

hmmmmm could be interesting, IMO the older "inmates" seem to be out of place, i.e. Carol, Lesley, the Tory boy was it Derek , Mario and Lisa

will reserve judgement til I see the HM's, the lack of LF is more disappointing to me

New housemates:
Even mix between males and females. All under 30 most are single.
1) Female Bromley - likes to climb trees and walk around naked with heels on good at the limbo.

 2) Male Enfield - studying to be therapist single and would like to find a soulmate in the house.

 3) Male 22, Cheshire - entrepeneur conservative and 'upper class' with no sense of smell apparently.

 4) Female 25, Manchester not a girly girl.Doesnt like to talk about shopping and shoes.

5) Male 23 Peckham runs record label produces music and claims to have 'pulled' Pixie Lott. Child model.

 6) Female 18 South Shields is obsessed with pink and convinced she's going to marry  Dappy from N-dubz .

 7) Female 30 London Model and holistic healer, also a 'different species' .

8) Male Solihull and fat people make him angry.

 9) Female 28 Wirralis a club hostess doesn't often strip, has a walk in wardrobe .

 10) Male 28 Windsor - animal lover brought a frog back to life using CPR.

 11) Female 19 Tamworth - keen wrestler goes to the gym twice a day eats mainly protein.

 12) Male 27 Newcastle - works out a lot and parties until 8am.

 13) Female 21 Oxford - speaks 5 languages.

 14) Male 30 cries every time his hair is cut.Listens to sad music.

Could be like BB1? 

They all reside in England but I do hope we have a mixture of nationalities.

This is one of the rumoured HMS

Its been suggested on another site that the show should be renamed Elstree Shore or The Only Way is Borehamwood.

Three of the BB1 HMs were over 30 (Caroline, Nick and Tom), and the youngest was 23 (Darren)...

No sense full stop

 wtf

He actually said 150% Conservative no less.I'm with you No sense full stop.

Only just over 30, though.

There wasn't a huge age range.

 I love these young nutters 

Caroline was 37 at the time.

I can't be bothered checking, but I'd imagine BB3 was one of the closest age-wise (or rather, it quickly became so). IIRC, only Lynne and Sandy were over 30, and neither lasted long. Also, I think Jade was the youngest HM ever at the time (only 20 at the start)...

Thank gawd for that, the older ones always put a dampener on the younger ones....

May I take this opportunity to apologise on behalf of the older people. I hope that we don't get in the way and spoil things this time around.

speaking as somebody who is older than all of those reportedly going into the house this time, i actually do prefer to watch the younger ones - it could just be that most of the older ones chosen are not particularly entertaining

Totally agree Barns..they don't actually put coffin dodgers in but the older ones they do put in always seem to be the biggest bores and bring the house down....

a friend of mine who is in her sixties is and would be ideal in there, I always thought she should have entered for The Generation Game

Older HMs bore the shit out of me. They adopt the parent role and get on my nerves.

What? All of 'em?

My dad would be great but he'd be the first one voted out....

Well I actually thought BB7 had the best mix of ages of younger and older. But i'm not bothered really as I'm not watching Big Brother because channel 5 ruined it  (just an excuse to use that one ).

I MAY watch the launch night but if its anything how CBB turned out then no thanks 

If this is true, then BOOOORRRING!    The 18 to 30s in the house are almost always the most arrogant, full-of-themselves, tedious know-alls.  Why not a mix of age groups?  Do they think that people in their 30s, 40s and 50s arent worthy of watching?  Maybe it's because they know that older people wouldn't be as petty and arrogant and conceited as the people under 30, and would probably get on better, so BB may not be as controversial.  I mean, God forbid that people get on with each other.  Not good telly is it?! 

*disclaimer*  I'm not saying ALL under 30s are petty and arrogant and full of themselves, but the ones they put in BB usually are!

I don't care, cause I aint watchin it,.... whatever this THING is, it certainly aint BB,... I have not been here for so long I have forgotten how this place works, what happens if I press..... this?

OH!!!

Did that feel good?

I won't be watching it either, I couldn't be bothered with the celeb one, and there is no way I could keep up with a whole load of ordinary people on just the HL show.

^^^^^^ *nods in agreement*

Welcome back, OHG.

I also wish they would vary the age groups a bit.  But I know I will be addicted to it anyway. 

c5 desperate attempt for orginess me thinks

i like seeing the older HMs in the house,so i'm disappointed in this

Are any of 'em school teachaz?
