Default The Attack of the Pensioners!!! (Would that be a good idea?)

Should we have a lot of old housemates coming in next?

60+ for the women

65+ for the men

The young girls & Ziggy could do with some mother/father/grandma/grandad figures who could look after them and tell them stuff from older times

But we could do with the next four housemates being pentioners, just to mix things a bit

The girl's want someone younger, of course

No, we need some young entertaining blokes, I don't care about romance overly but I do want some funny and lively guys to stir things up a bit.

No I don't agree, because it wouldn't fit in with the house dynamics at the moment and would just mess things up if anything.
I don't mind the odd one or two, but not really 'the attack of the pensioners'.

I think there should be 1 guy put in who's around 18/19, and 2 other guys in their 20's or early 30's and one guy in his 50's, to please Lesley, haha :P

I heard that too.

Ken Russell is quite old and perhaps bringing in a large volume of older housemates will probably be a bad thing.

But BB can be very unauthodox at times and suddenly they will do something which we just won't expect

Just when we are expecting them to bring in another gorgeous bloke.

Along comes a 70 year old, with a walking stick

Get ready for anything

Definately not. We need younger housemates in there who are more active, it's not a case of having anything against pensioners though the fact is they will more than likely not have the energy for too much for example the tasks.

I agree with Mike, we generally tune in to see some life in the house. I like to see the younger HM's sitting up flirting all night etc...

I have to agree with the part about the "tasks"

Breakdancing would just not do

I understand what you say, Benji102000


I don't think this possibility of an influx of older housemates 60+ will guarantee a winner. That is true.

Also, like you say, Most of the viewing public may not think that a pensioner should win? But things can change. Also, if there was 5 pensioners in the house, they may never nominate each other, as because of their age-group, they may relate better, to each other, and group together.

I haven't won any money on Bingo either. But I have won plenty of (1 win) prizes at seaside resorts.

All the old people never get to the final because they always choose to leave.

Ken Russell - CBB5
Lesely - BB8
