Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:09 am     What a nice bell curve this is making The 30s and 40s group together are 50% (at about 25% each) and the 20s and 50s are each at just about 15% |
Sassylady | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:11 am     Congrats Marymc on the new little one coming into your life. I became a Mimi (grandma)at 40 :-O Then when that little angel was born, I saw then that being a granparent (I still choke on saying that) was the best thing in the world!! I can send him home when I am tired of playing :0) Oh did I mention my grandson is perfect LOL |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:12 am     Kady I have a son the same age! He's starting middle school this year. Ugh. |
Aus10 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:12 am     un-official count as of Bladewelder @ 11:04 teen=6 20=12 30=22 40=26 50=14 60=1 70=3 80=3 A pie chart Kaili....You go girl!! Everytime I try to keep up the phone rings or someone's at the door.....why can't these people understand I'm doing something important here! We're better than the Nielson people any day! |
Spyfox2000 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:14 am     I am a 33 yrs. old and a first time parent with a four month old girl. Imagine the conflict I have trying to feed, nuture, and play with her along with watching BB(on tv no feeds this year) and jumping online at TVCH to find out what's going on!!! I let her watch the show with me until it gets to racy then she has to go with her dad! Basically she gets to watch the opening credits! I am the only one in the house who watches the show, too! On a side note, my husband bought me "The Sims" for Christmas 2000 so I could create my own BB house and manipulate my own hampsters daily... I had never heard of the game until that point and now I am addicted! |
Avery | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:15 am     Hey how did the 80's go down?? I know we are a dying breed but that was quick! |
Jello | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:18 am     Me-39. Actually! No one believes you when you're 39, though, so I say I'm 40. Getting used to the concept ahead of the actual birthday. Daughter-15.5. We bond by feeling superior to the hamsters. Can actually produce valuable conversations about values, etc. But mostly we just like feeling superior. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:18 am     Wow Aus- we have way different numbers though! I have (as of Cameltoes) Under 20- 11 (10%) 20s- 16 (14%) 30s- 27 (23%) 40s- 31 (26%) 50s- 19 (17%) 60s- 3 (3%) 70s- 3 (3%) 80s- 4 (4%) |
Aus10 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:19 am     Whoops my fault.....I can count my hash marks on the paper I'm keeping track on but I never said I could type! LOL... |
Bbrock | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:19 am     Forgot to add hubby, he's a fan too. He's 38. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:21 am     Avery- I believe 80s is 4- there were 3 moms and you! |
Aus10 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:22 am     Tell you what Kaili.....we'll use your numbers....every freaking time I sit down here I have some stupid thing happen to side track me...Now the contractor wants me to look and see how I want this new door......I don't care...just put it in.....oh my....I need the Zen thread! Lol |
Bandmom | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:23 am     I'm 44 and have watched all 3 BBs. Hubby is 38. Didn't watch the first BB, but watched the second BB IF he was around. This season he watches and has me tape it for him if he's not home....although he would NEVER admit that to his friends. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:24 am     Hmmm...funny I have 5 80s marked down now that I look again. Must be 5. There was Aus10, Sliksmoke, Lilycakes, and Cathies moms plus Avery. |
Hypermom | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:26 am     I'm 40 and hubby is 41....we both watch BB. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:27 am     I've only left long enough to shower, water a few plants, and grab something to eat (in front of the computer) but I have everyone's names and ages they listed on one piece of paper (actually two now...it's little paper) and another sheet to make my hash marks. |
Aus10 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:28 am     It's no wonder K......this thread seems to be moving faster than the houseguests when they get caught in a "Lie". |
Aus10 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:30 am     You are amazing K! Can I be in your alliance? ;) AARRRRGGHHHHHH! Not the phone again!!!!!!!! |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:31 am     LOL- no kidding! Up to 123 ages listed now by my calculations. Only two people kinda skirted the question! Just wait until the night crew come in (and the after work people)...I'll be off to work by then! And after the show I don't think I'll have time to keep up what with the returning HG and eviction threads that'll be going! |
Moedog | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:31 am     GO 40-somethings! Should we be proud or ashamed that we're BB addicts? ; ) |
Realfan | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:31 am     I'm 42. Husband, who watches but doesn't visit the boards, is 49. Live in Oregon. Slightly off-topic, I was excited to see the Survivor 4 cast (revealed today on the Early Show) has a goodly number of older folks, from 37+ on up. There seemed to be only two or three in their 20s. I think older people make for much better game-playing, and really wish BB would give us more of them instead of a "token" Gerry or Kent. As for who Arnold targets? The 18-39 age bracket is the big "buying" age bracket for advertisers (advertisers is all that matters when finding an audience), but the trend is to target the younger end of that spectrum since their brand preferences aren't yet set. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:34 am     Realfan, I was happy about that too. I was also happy to see that the black man they put in is in his late 30s so he will be less likely to be portrayed as the young, angry black man that we see in so many other reality shows. |
Curlyq | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:35 am     I'm 31, and my mother is also hooked. She is 65. |
