draheid good work but do you think this small sample is representative of the total BB TVCH population. Is this a statistically significant sample?? If it is , it is surprising to me that so many of us are in the 30-50 range (well, not me, I am alas 55 )

Well, I hit the big 40 in March. Still feel young though. Hubby is 42 but he isn't a big brother addict like I am. I've been addicted since BB1. :)

Jan: I'm just adding and charting the numbers in this thread. I don't believe it's a true representation of the members or the lurkers of these boards. The total count as of the last chart was only 319 and it's been indicated that there are well over 2,000 members of this board.

It's just an interesting topic. More than anything, I think it points out to some that we are NOT all a bunch of 20 somethings discussing the merits and goings on in the house.

I just find it interesting.

JMO - FWIW

draheid I think you read the wrong tone into my comment. I am sorry if you thought I was being sarcastic. I was being serious. 319 out of 2000 is a bigger percentage than the 2000 often polled to represent 200,000,000..so I think it might be statistically representative

in which case it is a very interesting finding I think.I am sorry if my tone came out wrong..that's the trouble with print instead of voice

Jan, problem is that is "self reported", ie not a true random sample.. Also, it includes quite a few non-members who happen to be viewers (children, parents).. What it does is show is what the average age is of those who are exposed to information provided on these message boards and also watch the show.. Though, if we exclude many of the tail values it still shows that the average age is quite a bit higher than I think many people would expect..

Another BB fan, since BB1. I've been lurking since I found this board last year and finally decided to register. I am 38. Got the hubby watching this year also and he is 46.

I'm 37 and a first time poster this year. Been at the TVCH boards since BB1. I had a different nick during BB1. This is the first board where I no longer feel threatened to be labeled a "cougar" !!! LOL
We need a thread for city/state/province/country.

Dang...only 13% of us 50-somethings? I'm gonna complain-we need equal opportunity representation on this here board! Seriously though, amazing that it came out as a real bell curve. Who'd a thunkit???

(If anyone's going to do a location chart - I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, formerly of NE England, 35 years ago.)
