Dulcie | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:52 am     Two 49 year old lurkers from Cleveland, OH. We are huge fans of TVCH. You guys are great! |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:52 am     Draheid....VERY IMPRESSIVE pie chart!! |
Jan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:53 am     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 ) |
Rod | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:54 am     it really is a Bell curve isn't it! |
Chancesdesign | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 12:03 pm     Count me in. 36 and a BB addict since BB1. |
Sushigirl | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 12:08 pm     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. |
Draheid | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 12:10 pm     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 |
Jan | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 12:28 pm     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 |
Espen | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 01:01 pm     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.. |
Bluemoon | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 01:06 pm     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. |
Draco | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 01:08 pm     I am 30 and my sister is 26. We both have watched BB and have enjoyed this board since BB1! |
Tameh | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 02:04 pm     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. |
Babyruth | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 02:16 pm     Add me to the 40's bunch. I'm 44 years old, and have been hanging out here since BB1. |
Luckhunter777 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 02:26 pm     32 here ... I am in FL and I want to be counted this time !!! I hope this is the right box ... |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 02:35 pm     Luckhunter....just don't leave us hangin..... |
Endrun | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 04:24 pm     I am 44. I wanted to add mine in order to keep the 40's as the most represented. LOL. No I am not competitive-not at all. |
Brynah | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 04:37 pm     Husband--45 Me---43 Sister 41 All die-hard BB Fans. |
Angelwings | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 04:39 pm     Well I am 51 and I love to watch Big Brother. I am originally from Ohio but living in South Carolina now. I just love reading everyone's input. |
Lilliegirl | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Angel what part of S.C. I live in West Columbia. |
Bernie | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:51 pm     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.) |
