My parents are in their late sixties and they love it. Not that that is old if you know what I mean! Any of your grandparents into it?
Do your older relatives watch CBB?

I think I am 'the older relative' and yes I do watch it and always have. My kids grew out of it a few years ago - they take the pee out of my BB addiction.
A lot of my older relatives watch the show.....they know more about it than I do because they've watched since series 1

Same here.
Though had niece and her bf staying for past week, and they are now addicted.
Nope. But my parents are addicted to I'm a Celebrity. So am i actually. The celebs are much better on that show.
Yep, my mum is 70 and loves the show and gets very irate when her favourites get evicted. She always tells me how she goes on 'the online web' to look at the latest BB news.
Older relative here too. I enjoy watching it and have done for a couple of years now. I do hate the phoney making up though and when they say love you. That drives me mad.
The thing I have disliked about this series is the American v British theme.

My mum is 84 and watches (sometimes) - she gets rather confused TBH. On the last regular BB she was very cross - she kept saying 'I don't know any of them - I only know Sernetta (sic) - she meant Sinitta. She thought Adjoa was Sinitta and didn't know any of the other celebs.
My mum watches it and she's 79...I go round and watch it with her and although she hasn't a clue who most of them are- 'she's in Teen Mom, I told you last time', she still enjoys it in a shouting at the telly kind of way.
No-one I know watches it any more or even knows it's on...
Back in the day the whole family watched.

Much the same here too! I'm the older watcher and my 4 sons, who have all grown up used to watch it but think I'm bonkers for watching it now! But my daughter in law loves it still! The others just take the pee too and my husband can not abide it!
My mum watched it till she passed away at 74, earlier this year.
She'd never admit to it but back in the day I'd always get up to find she'd put the LF on or she'd be sat online watching clips or reading the latest gossip on DS

Oh yes, I think us oldies keep the DS board going myself! I would say there is a lot of late 50's early 60's on here! So pleased to know there are 70's and 80's too! Love it, I hope I'm around at that age to be on this board still or even to watch the likes of BB!

I don't blame her, those were the days when we could watch it live on TV or computer! Good for her!

I love that she never admitted to it. Guilty pleasure
My dad was the complete opposite. I always remember when BB used to have the live feeds where you could pick which one to watch (those were the days), he used to make me sit there and flick back and forth with the remote at his command!

Too right! I'm in 'the older category' and I've watched every series since the beginning. My children all used to watch but only one of them is still into it now - I have also recruited my daughter in law
In the good old days with Live Feed I used to have other FMs text me when I was on holiday to keep me up to date!
You can put me Into the older relative group I have watched every single series since the beginning.
My Mum aged 89 always watched until ahe sadly passed away 2 years ago she loved it.
I used to love watching it with her - happy times!

How funny. All of my family know I'm a BB addict but not so many others.
On New Years Eve my neighbours were in for a 'bit of a do' - he's a head master and she is in a senior education advisory post. We talked about Mastermind - I said my specialist subject would be BB - I think it was a full twenty minutes before they stopped laughing - I kept repeating 'it's true' and they just laughed harder. Still not sure if they believed me or not.

Yes I said before I am staying with friends and they are in their sixties. I had to turn it of a few times due to Farrah's swearing. He likes Emma very much and Rylan. On Bots he notices the ladies with the pink hair who smile continually ( he likes them and asked me who they were).
