Can the intelligence of a FM be determined by their post(s) about their theory (theories)?

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.
Of course, that's how I always behave when I'm logged onto DS

Thinking about it I dislike them all equally, but for different reasons.

I'm late thirties i'm kinda a non entirety then! Neither a young person backer or old. Going by the OP's thoughts.

To show i'm not age bias at all young and old ladies are welcome to hold my hand in this sad moment....

So the olduns got blamed for Brexit and now we are getting blamed for not liking younger housemates? Us poor pensioners get blamed for everything LOL
Yep I agree Jean, I actually like a couple of the younger girls and personally not a fan of the older ones!

I'm 53, Aquarius and I want world peace

I like Jayne, truly disliked Natalie, I think Jason's a decent bloke but rather dull to watch as a housemate, Alex probably great to live with as he's no bother at all but also a dull housemate.

I sometimes like Hughie and Lateysha, dislike Georgina (not because of her age, but because she's fairly horrible!) and find Ryan aggravating (not because of his age, but because he's aggravating!).

I quite like Charlie even though she's fairly Fatal Attraction, Sam I can't warm to and Evelyn I do like quite a lot.

I've probably left some out!

ETA: Andy!! I'm still on the fence about Andy. Laura - I quite like her all in all, now that she's settled down.

ETA2: Chelsea - who could forget him, much as I would like to He's certainly entertaining but quite unlikeable. His fixation on Jayne is very disturbing, to the point that he lost them the last shopping by fixating on her so much.

I only saw 3 people defending Natalie and I think one of them was a troll


It's not a age thing yes I like Andy (Though admittedly it's more dislike less than others) I think Jayne is OK.

From the younger ones I like (Again more dislike less) Hughie Emma Evelyn.

Don't care about Alex either way as he shows up less than Halley's Comet.

Laura like her more than I did.

Jason again it's more dislike less.

Ryan don't like much but prefer him to who is left same goes for Charlie.


Rest no really can't stand pity as the first week or so Gerogina and
Lateysha were in my top list.

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?
You're... 54?

The only older one I like is Jason but only because he seems kind hearted. He is not a particularly good housemate but I don't want him to leave yet.

What is the point of this thread other then to criticise people for liking who they want to like and disliking who they want to dislike? People have different opinions. It has nothing to do with age. Deal with it.

I think that's a bit wrong IMO.

You're right some younger lot don't get love on here, but Hughie is the favourite here, and Natalie was disliked on here.

In fact, over on TiBB, which skews much, much younger and has an average age or probably 20, have Jayne as a huge favourite over there and is pretty much equal to Hughie. And Alex on there is polling less in the polls compared to every single poll across the internet with barely 2% on there, whereas other places he is between 7% and 10%.

I don't mind Jason, mainly because he is kind hearted. Can't fathom Andy yet but felt sorry for him when he broke down tonight! But I like Evelyn and Laura because they bring some fun to the house.

Could have liked Lateysha but she has a real nasty side to her, perhaps that's why she's friends with Georgina! They bitch together far too much for my liking and Georgina really has to go this week!

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.
Round of applause!

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.
As someone who chose a username from a TV show that first aired almost 30 years ago, I'm guessing you're no spring chicken yourself

Awwwww! That would have been brilliant if you were. Okay you guess mine...

I like Andy and Hughie,

I dislike Georgina and Jackson.

I am neutral on all the others.

Great post.

And some people even just do a bit of everything, when it comes to the humorous comments. And in depth. I just do what ever. I do it all.

I don't mean I do it all in an arrogant way. But yeah I just do though. lol
