I love those too.
There's a massive female that has built a web between out garden wall and the hedge next to it. I always have to keep going out and checking on her

If I was in that house, I;d drive them all nuts with it, and get voted out for that, even without any other factors. I'd get written about in the Star as the "bug woman" who liked things with multiple legs better than people

Too bloody right! A pair of spider ladies..

Oh christ... Daily Star headline - Spiderwoman evicted.

But seriously, I'd love to see someone win who as (a) over 35 (b) didn't scream every time something with more than two legs appeared in the house and (c) Wasn't bothered whether there was even hot water, never mind hair straighteners.

But next year - the final C4 BB - and maybe the last ever?

Personally, I'd like to see someone over 35 win. To prove to everyone that we're not all miserable sods who'd drink tea, smoke and bully younger housemates.

Someone clever, someone fun, someone a bit anarchic. Someone who would join in, laugh at themselves and not take over the kitchen or walk around with a tea-towel under their arm.

What say you?

I agree with someone older winning, but I just don't think it could happen. This was the year if it was about to in my opinion (Marcus). Of course older HMs are likely to be quite confident and others may look up to them in some way. That doesn't have to be a bad thing and it's a role in the house which can be useful. Sometimes I think older HMs are blamed for how weak some of the younger ones are.

I think people place too much emphasis on the 'winner' anyway. The show has never just been about the winner, people remember series by more than that.

I think the word bully is a bit overused in BB as well. In a game like this there will be alliances and so allies and foes.

I was thinking it might be good to have people who are a bit older. It seems to be accepted that only young people watch BB, but I think that's far from true. Let's get some 35 year olds in there or even older and see how the programme fares. It hardly matters if it flopps being the last one. I don't think it would though.

I've noticed over the years Hmts are getting younger and younger. The 1st one wasnt the case as I remember. A lot of other countries dont seem to have really young ones in at all. Not that I'm advocating all over 35s, just a good mix across the ages, as I have often said before.
