BIG Brother bosses are worried that too many OLD FOGIES are watching.
The programme’s audience has matured over the years, research found — but Channel 4 wants young viewers to attract advertisers.
Ratings have tumbled for this year’s Celeb BB as teens are said to have been turned off by the older celebrities.
Ulrika Jonsson, 41, La Toya Jackson, 52, Terry Christian, 48, and Coolio, 45, are all better known among the over-25s. Numbers watching Monday night’s eviction show slumped as low as 1.2 million at one point — a third of its usual figure.
One source suggested the show’s sponsor, bed firm Dreams, was another example of the shift in the audience’s age.
The show used to be sponsored by “youth-focused” companies, such as mobile phone firms.
The source said: “Let’s face it, young people with disposable incomes don’t buy fancy beds, do they?”
Meanwhile, Ofcom said it had 328 complaints about bullying on CBB last week.
Maybe the show has run its course and is ready to be scrapped :hmm:
well is this an ageist situation?
That only young un's can provide entertainment, ohhhhhh:nono:
NO it's more to do with WHO was in the house,
one thing that may be prevented in the future is,
Mothers with kids, any mother who goes into this knows that they have to leave their kids, so it's no good thinking it will be easy to just walk
Mutya are you listening? ( and for that matter what did she entertainment did she provide??)
I for one have watched this with my daughter, we both have not once mentioned the age factor, young or old, it's simply a case of the wrong collection of people.
La Toya became the fourth celebrity to be evicted from the Big Brother house in the first of two surprise evictions tonight.
Housemates had been spending the day completing a Dare Devil Task, during which the American had shown her bravery by licking Gentleman's Relish off a mirror in the house.
The public have been voting since Monday for the housemate they want to win this year's Celebrity Big Brother. La Toya had the least votes at 6.5% and was the first to be told that she would be leaving the house tonight.
Tommy was the second celebrity to be booted out of the Big Brother house tonight in a surprise double eviction.
The Scottish politician was met by mainly boos from the crowds, prompting Davina to term the moment as "quite a painful reception".
The 44-year-old's eviction came close on the heels of La Toya's exit, leaving just Ben, Coolio, Terry, Ulrika and Verne in the running for Friday's final.
The socialist Scot had earlier revealed that he is backing Verne to win the show.
Tommy was the sixth celebrity to leave the house, following the evictions of Lucy, Tina, Michelle and La Toya. Mutya walked out voluntarily last Friday.
:eek: Terry has never heard of Brain freeze!
Is tonight the final?
I hope Verne wins
Yep final tonight
Can't believe Ulrika won, she was so desperate to go and seemed to uneuthisastic about the whole winning thing!
Very dissapointed that Verne came in 4th place, not even 2nd or 3rd!.. Really wanted to see him win!
I've hardly watched any of this series but I just switched over and seen Ulrika had won. All I can say is I am very surprised. I thought Verne was a firm favourite and I always thought Ulrika was disliked after all the negative press surrounding her and Sven, and John Leslie. She must have won the British public over? :confused:
I loved Ulrika! The way she was with tasks, I just think the way she comes arcoss you can understand with her lifestyle and I think because shes well spoke and 'posh' you know people think she thinks shes better.
Im glad she won, I mean I thought Verne would win just cause hes verne, but Ive always liked Ulrika, I think its cos she reminds me of gladiators and my childhood and loving the tv and I know its sound odd but yeah Ive always liked her :)
HTF did Ulrika win - Verne should have won
I agree, Verne has loads of charisma whereas Ulrika has none. :thumbsdowQuote:

fix right from the start as all big brothers are
How is it a fix? The public vote - Ulrika got the most votes so she won. Big Brother can mediate what they show to an extent to influence viewers into a certain way of thinking, but the bottom line is, the public vote and the public decide who wins - just because it may be a winner your not happy with doesn't mean it's a fix.
Ulrika was paid the most - i think it was a fix for her to win :thumbsdow
Verne should have won
Why would it be a fix ti win, she wanted to go at the first eviction and would still have got piad the most
Celebrity Big Brother producers were pleased with Ulrika Jonsson's shock victory on Friday night, a report claims.
The TV host triumphed over Terry Christian in the final vote, while long-time bookies' favourite Verne Troyer finished in fourth position.
As the result was announced by host Davina McCall, Jonsson exclaimed: "Oh my God, that's just bonkers! It's a fix."
A show insider told The People: "It is good to get a shock every so often. The last series of Big Brother was incredibly predictable, as it was the previous summer. It's quite nice when you end up with a result which takes some people unawares."
The source added: "The bookies definitely got it wrong this time but maybe they were too hasty in going all out for Verne. After all, Ulrika survived the public vote again and again so there was always a core of support there for her."
La Toya Jackson is offering fans meet-and-greets for a daily rate of £55,000.
The singer and model has stayed in Britain following her eviction from Celebrity Big Brother last week.
The star, 52, is reportedly insisting that promoters pay £4,000 per night for her suite at the Dorchester Hotel and any travel costs.
Former A1 singer Ben Adams, who made the show's final, is charging just £3,000 for his meet-and-greet sessions.
:eek: I would rather not meet her at this price, thank you very much
Ulrika Jonsson’s shock Big Brother victory has sparked a fans’ revolt which looks like killing off the show.
Diehard fans are planning on boycotting any future series because they reckon the result was rigged.
Ulrika, 41, left the nation stunned as she took the crown on Friday night.
She was a big outsider behind favourite Verne Troyer, 40, who left the house in fourth place.
Even Ulrika herself believed the result had been tampered with. On hearing the news she said: “No way, it’s a fix.”
And the show’s army of fans agree. They have lashed out at the result because Ulrika was never one of the favourites from the moment the show started three weeks ago.
Our phones rang off the hook and hundreds of readers sent in texts and emails about the “fix” as soon as Ulrika won. And one online forum, with 120,000 members, saw her poll just 10%.
One user said: “The whole show is a joke now. Next year we should all boycott it and then it will finally get the axe.
“Ulrika winning the show is just plain impossible. I can only think the result was hijacked by a betting syndicate.”
Fans fear that so few people are voting that it is easy for big-time gamblers to rig the vote.
And they reckon bosses at the Channel 4 show can edit their footage to make anyone a star.
This year they axed the 24-hour live streaming, which meant the public only got to see the footage telly chiefs wanted them to see.
Everything else was left on the cutting room floor.
It meant that they could make any of the celebrities look good and deliberately make others look boring.
The show’s launch night was watched by 6.4million but just half that figure watched Friday’s final.
While fans were shocked, TV insiders say they only have themselves to blame.
One said: “It’s not rocket science. Vote or don’t moan if your favourite misses out.”
A Big Brother spokesman declined to comment last night.
I bet the people didnt even vote who are complaining, of they didnt its there problem and they should shut up
WARRING Celebrity Big Brother housemates turned the end-of-series party into a terrifying shambles.
Only six of the 11 contestants showed up amid fears the bitter rows in the house would spill over into the bash.
Liberty X babe Michelle Heaton, 28, was too scared to go after a bitter confrontation with gobby Scouser Tina Malone on the final night.
Four others also stayed away, refusing to celebrate Ulrika Johnsson’s triumph after the blonde Swede had been unpopular with housemates throughout their three-week stay in the house.
Even Celebrity Big Brother telly host Davina McCall, 41, did not attend.
Michelle, 28, was desperate to avoid Tina Malone, 45, who reduced her to tears with a verbal attack moments after the final.
Tina told viewers of Big Brother’s Big Mouth: “I may be fat, but I can lose weight. Michelle will always be thick.”
When Michelle asked for an apology, the Shameless star told her to “******* off”.
One insider said: “Michelle has not forgiven Tina for the way she was spoken to and Tina is not the sort of person to say sorry. It’s probably best they are kept apart.”
Sexy Michelle was also avoiding sex bully Coolio, 45.
Terry Christian, 45, and pal Tommy Sheridan, 44, who bitched about Ulrika in the house, snubbed the party in London on Monday night.
Despite staying in the capital to flog his story for a six-figure sum, Hollywood actor Verne Troyer, 40, failed to show, as did La Toya Jackson, 52.
A show insider said: “It was the worst turnout we have ever had for a BB party. Usually it’s a time to let your hair down but clearly many people still have unresolved issues.”
But Ulrika, 41, was all smiles as she arrived with husband Brian Monet.
Former Sugababe Mutya Buena, 23, turned up in a red minidress while Daily Star babe Lucy Pinder, 25, opted for a sexy black number.
Coolio, Tina and A1 hunk Ben Adams, 27, all attended the do.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Scottish politician Tommy is to face trial on perjury charges in connection with a newspaper defamation case.
What a bunch of petty sods. I wouldn't have backed Ulrika to win but she did so good luck to her. If so-called celebs what to be childish and snub a free party let them.
This year's Celebrity Big Brother, which saw rapper Coolio the focus of many complaints, did not breach broadcasting rules, Ofcom has found.
The regulator received 527 complaints about the show, eventually won by Ulrika Jonsson, the majority relating to viewers feeling that housemates had been bullied.
This year's show, broadcast in January, saw complaints about the manner in which Coolio behaved towards women in the house, including former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton.
The regulator said: "It appeared clear to viewers that Coolio enjoyed baiting and teasing female housemates. However, when Coolio teased Michelle for allegedly having feelings for another housemate (Ben Adams) she became very upset.
"Sensing he had hit a nerve, Coolio continued to tease her about it."
Ofcom said that Big Brother talked to Michelle and Coolio separately in the Diary Room and Michelle appeared comforted.
Coolio appeared genuinely disconcerted when told that some of his behaviour could be seen as intimidating, the regulator found.
The pair apologised to each other and the feud was settled.
Ofcom said: "In Ofcom's view Coolio was a 'larger than life' character in the house, playing the role for many viewers of the 'villain of the piece' where such a role, after 10 years of Big Brother, is generally expected by the audience."
Channel 4 welcomed the ruling about this year's show, saying in a statement: "Conflicts can arise within the Big Brother House, but both the producers and commissioning editors encourage housemates to work differences out amongst themselves initially."
The Mirror
All these OFCOM complaints is what's ruining Big Brother.
:eek: Not long now, its werid cos I cant believe its nearly on soon, even though I still remember it when it used to come on in late may not early june
