I am also an older relative! 69 to be exact. I've been watching BB since 2002 and even though it has changed vastly I still will, in fact we both will. I also am on here at midnight most nights as I can't sleep if I go to bed too early.
Do your older relatives watch CBB?

I Suppose to the younger members of my family I'm the older relative! I'm in my late forties!!!
I don't tend to watch BBBOTS as I'm going to bed then to get up early.
My dad does though and I often get the goss!

My kids take the pee out of my BB viewing (I am not addicted any more) and don't watch themselves and my mother used to be completely addicted to the point I took the pee out of her but she rarely bothers to watch nowadays as she thinks it's scripted.
No my mum and dad don't, whenever I mention Big Brother.
My dad calls it cheap & tacky.
My mum is like, well who wants to watch a show, where they act thick, and don't know how to turn the oven on, which was correct in its early days

Same here. As a woman in my 70's I have no older relatives but I have watched BB since the beginning. It is my guilty pleasure
I keep saying "This is rubbish" but I get hooked each time and carry on watching. My husband hates it, so I have to watch it in the dining room or record it or watch on catch up when he is out. I have watched right from the beginning of the BB series which I prefer to CBB which has too many has beens and people I have never heard of.
A few of my Nieces who are in their late teens tune in if there's a 'fit boy' on it. Other than that, not a single member of my family watch it anymore. My sisters used to watch but they gave up a few yrs ago. No Male relatives watch it either, they all think I'm nuts lol

When BB first started I had to get up much earlier than I do now, but I often watched LF until all the HMs were asleep. The whole family thought I was bonkers

I'm an 'oldie' too. I didn't watch normal BB this year. I am getting tired of it a tad, so gave it a miss. But I always watch CBB. Can't see that changing.
