LOL! No wonder I feel so at home on this bb!!

I'm 43!! (and can relate to so many, I have a 17yr senior high schooler, who hasnt gotten his drivers license yet! *eg! a 14 yr old and a *surprise 5 1/2 yr old!! So I know all to well of both ends, a sr and a kind this year, Lord help us!!) (oh and another We lived near the WI border, ds plays hockey, started in WI, and we did West Bend, to Antigo WI all for hockey!!)

my 17 could've been hooked on BB (he was BB2) but he was at summer camp, and refuses to play midstream, he does ask for updates at times!! We loved arguing about the Mole 2, funny,

I have to leave town for the weekend, now promise to keep me update, or promise those young'ns wont get too excited over the returning hg/hoh!! DH wont be happy if I stay online too long tonight!!

I also hear about the all too important demographics for advertisers, it is one reason I'm surprised they still are doing BB!!

I am 33 and my wife is 30 and we have both been avid watchers and fans since BB1 (only missed about 2 episodes of all three seasons).. I am the one keeping her up to date with the boards, though she does watch the feeds occasionally..

On a side note, must confess I am somewhat suprised that the average is skewing towards mid 40s rather than mid 30s, though I can't help but wonder how much this is due to who is online (on this site) during the day (or in general) as opposed to the average age among those who watch.. If this thread keeps going for 24 hours, we might eliminate the time of day bias, but it will then be more a statistic of the average member age than the average viewer age.. Admittedly adding family does increase the participation of the under 20, but at the same time including spouses overstates the average age group somewhat.. But, regardless, it is very interesting information..

I'm 27, my boyfriend (who I have finally suckered into watching it, by being a huge pest when the show's coming on and make him sit beside me on the couch so I have something to hit or squeeze depending on the situation!) is 29.

46 here and my daughter who's 18 watches when she can.

My 21 yr-old daughter & 14-yr-old son make fun of us watching reality shows, but they tend to watch at least part when we have them on, mainly so they can make remarks. I think my hubby just turns on the other TV most of the time!

I'm also glad to see the 40s crowd so represented. I figured I was the weirdo in the group. lol

Will celebrate my 61st on Aug. 29.

Thought long and hard about my username before I signed up this year..(was a lurker last year) and decided since I am absolutely flabbergasted at the antics, vocabulary and sexual escapades of most of the HGs ( I love Jason and know his family is proud of him!) I realized I am a real FUDDYDUDDY!!!!!!

Wedge I do the same thing with by boyfriend...I will say "we think that so and so is going to be voted out" or whatever and he's just like "we who?" Haha. I should add him in even though I have to explain everything that's going on everytime we watch and he tries to pretend he hates the show but insists in my saving the tapes for him to see. I'll add him...he's 27.

My husband is 31. We watch together, and sometimes he makes observations that make me want to smack him. For instance, while I am listening to Danielle discuss her strategy in the DR, he pipes up, "Those hooters can't be real. Look at how they're shaped."
Then I turn around and give him "THE LOOK"... and he quietly goes back to his ponderings.

Okay everyone- I have to go to work and will be gone until about 9 pm (7 pm board time). When I get home I'll be watching my BB tape to see what happened but I'll go over all the new responses at that time (unless someone else has kept track).
Either way I'll come back and put the numbers into Excel so I can get the percentages and total numbers and then eventually try to get the pie chart posted. May wait until tomorrow morning for that so we can get the 24 hour tally.

Have fun watching everyone!!!!!
