Some posters on these forums will defend the older housemates, like Natalie, Jayne and Andy, to the death and refuse to hear a bad word said against them even though they are all twisted and nasty people with agendas and have all been horrible throughout their time in the house.

When it comes to the younger housemates, such as Alex, Jackson, Lateysha and Sam, they can do no right and are constantly criticised by forum posters for nothing whatsoever. Alex and Jackson in particular are real gentlemen and they are both nice people and good housemates.

I think it shows what the average age is of many of the nasty folk posting on here with not a nice word to say about anything because all the negativity is aimed at the younger housemates who have done little to deserve it and the older housemates who have been demonic are defended to the bitter end.

no one could ever tell by my posts what age i am. I like younger housemates and older house housemates - if they are not nasty. I like Andy and Jason but not Nathalie. I like Hughie but not Sam. What does that say about me?

When she was criticised she was viciously defended by her aged worshippers.

Jayne is one of the leaders in the "Top 3 housemates polling".

It has little to do with age.

Natalie defended to the death, eh? You take a wrong turn somewhere?

Jackson is no "Gentleman".

If that's the definition of "Gentleman" these days I worry for the females of a certain age. 😜

Is she. I don't look at polls very often. Just threads.

I don't support HMs because of their age, I support them because of how they come across.

I like Jayne because I don't think she has done anything to warrant such criticism.

I dislike Chelsea because I find him vindictive and nasty.

I disliked Natalie because she was spiteful and nasty.

Well if it makes one person think again before posting another pointless, bitter, idiotic "Alex is a dullard" comment or something similar then it's worth posting.

What about me, I'm neither young or an aged worshipper.

So I get left out for being middle-aged?

That's middle-ageist!

Where do you fit if you like some young ones and dislike other young ones, and like some "old" ones and dislike others "old" ones? What age does that make me?!

I hope you were rocking back and forth with a rictus grin on your face when you fielded this complaint, and are now crying or raging about it now you're off shift.

Saying someone is, dull and boring and mumbles. That's not offensive. It's just true.

He can't help it. He's not the only quiet person in the world. It's pretty crap for BB though.

I'm 27 and I hated Natalie. I feel sorry for jayne and Andy and think they, especially Andy, are decent people.

As for the options you gave. I think lateysha is hilarious and really like her. Alex is boring. Seriously I don't think you needy To be old to have that view. Jackson is an aggressive waste man - aha gotta use his own language to describe him! And Sam? Yeah who is that again?

I think your argument is lame. Because I've disproved it

You're not counted as you don't fit in to the blatent generalisation of the OP. 😝

If you wish to be counted I suggest you change your opinion. 😜

The way I see it is this. There are many members of this forum, young, old and all ages in-between. Some like the good-looking ones, others like the deep thinking housemates. A few want to get rid of the quieter housemates, others prefer to have the nasty ones leave. There are people of varying ages in each and every group.

Some people like to post more humorous comments, others like to do some in-depth analysis; some post from the gut, others think it over long and hard.

We are all here to give our opinions, whatever that may be - there is a myriad of FMs with a diverse range of opinions and a plethora of posting styles.

So really, saying the older FMs prefer one lot of housemates over the other because of the FM's age is rather a simplistic way of looking at the forum, and far from the truth to boot.

It's also a bit of an insult to the younger FMs I would say.
