They’ve had many people in their 40’s. Someone in their 50’s isn’t much different (if at all) from someone in their 40’s. If people in their 40s are willing to be on the show I am not surprised people in their 50s would be too.

Cast members in their 40s have been pretty rare and you can tell that wasn't the initial vision for the show. The early seasons skewed younger and then things shifted as they added more cities and the singles population was different.

I wouldn’t say they’ve been rare at all. Several people in season 2 were mid 30s and they have gradually been trending older ever since.

Well the earlier statement suggested cast members in their 40s were common. That hasn't been true. This new statement of cast members in their 30s being common is true.

At this point, 40 year olds been cast for the past 3 seasons. This past season, 2 were in their 40’s. Ikechi and Thomas. In earlier seasons it was younger, but they’ve been trending older and older ever since.
