It was a young group last year in the final and it's going to be again.

Traditionally I'm a celebrity was the most popular show for the older has been to do well in, they tended to get the votes biggins, Blackburn etc.

However the app type vote seems to be king on this show now as well but I don't think the show is that popular with younger viewers compared to older ones

The show is edited to suit the Producers agenda. As you know the last two years have seen the h/l's show dominated by three Celebs Vicky last year and Adam & Scarlett this year and therefor for anyone else to win it is very difficult.

Kids and their iphones I was hoping that Martin would make the last 4, but no, as the last few years, its the youngsters that have been voted for .

Just out of interest, if you are over, say, 40, do you vote - if so how and how often?

Sorry, just proved how useless I am at technology - meant to add that under my own post not someone else's.

What I was trying (very unsucessfully) to say was - by how I meant what method, not who for.

I am 50 and voted, but I am not sure that older people vote as much as the youngsters do.

The young ones are more likely to win these days now that not everyone has to do it by landline or text. the apps make it far too easy to vote.

It's geared towards the youngsters now, some are ok though, others just plain annoying.

Why do the producers care who wins?

Because they probably going to hire Moffat on itv on some show or another so they show her a lot to heighten her profile to a wider audience than she normally gets . Just look at Vicky last year given all the airtime like everyone noticed , heightened her profile and where does she appear now ?

They should dump the cretinous dross over on ITV2 and get Carol and Lisa to present the sister show, with Joel as resident comedian and Martin and Larry as resident trial-testers.

*dreams of a world where that might happen*

Yes, that's right. They fix a show with ten million viewers in order to find a presenter for a show with less than half a million! If they want Scarlett to be on another show, just ask her. She would be cheaper to hire if she didn't win it.

I'm 45 and voted every night for Martin on the app. However, they won't be getting any more interest from this oldie as I've come to realise they really don't care for the older viewers. I'm pleased to say I'm far removed from the ones the producers push each series.

They really dont it's a strange stance to take especially as it's a show as I said that traditionally is one that is popular with older viewers

Well it won't be popular with them for much longer! Two years running of the same old biased coverage with the kids. I totally agree with those who say its gone down the BB route.

I am an older voter but I'm not bothering anymore as Martin is out.
The producers know who they want to win and they want a young celeb who can be mounded to their ways.

I don't vote on any reality shows any more. I would have voted for Martin if I had voted as he's made it interesting this year.

I'm an older viewer too, but I'm not sure that it is edited in favour of the younger ones. It's just that young people are more likely to vote for other young people and obviously there are more young viewers voting than older viewers., otherwise Martin, Carol and Larry would still be there. Carol got quite a bit of air time while she was there and so has Martin. Maybe Larry a bit less as he wasn't picked to do trials. But I don't think the producers have favoured anyone in particular this year.

yeah, but its about exposure, all programmes are aired with a certain appeal to advertisers, so "popular people " are more likey to be involved in follow up shows, in my opinion

OK, but the argument seems to be that they are pushing someone who ISN'T popular. What would be the point of that?

Scarlett was favourite to win before the show started simply because realty tv people do well on this show. Gogglebox gets a lot more viewers than Towie, Geordie Shore and the like so she was obviously going to do well. If it turned out the public hated her, there would be no point in "promoting" her in the edit.
