For example X Factor, they use a certain way of making sure that they have a wide range of ages between their contestants. They are divided into groups the youngest contestant can only be 16 and can go up to any age.
Where as with the X factor judges it is a different case, there are 2 older men in the 50s and the girls a substantially younger with one at 27 and another at 39 but they look good and younger for their ages.
The difference between the male judges and the female judges is that the male are widely known and very popular for what they do they are managers and very professional. Whereas the girls who are judging have had only a slight bit of stardom.
There is great controversy that elder women are getting pushed when they are just as good as the younger ones maybe even better. If anything they are wiser and have a lot more experience.
Another example is Strictly Come Dancing, there was a big up raw by the viewers of the BBC as a few years ago they got rid of one of the judges and replaced her with a younger model Alisha Dixon. The BBC got in trouble for this as they were seen as replacing her for younger models even though the previous judge had a lot more experience and was clearly liked on the show.
To overcome their mistake they are now seemed to be making sure that they are asking a wide range of contestants from younger to older so that they cannot be criticized for making elder women obsolete.
