I walked past the queue for BB6 Auditions in Cardiff this morning. I must say looks like a right motley crew of wanabees.

Must have been sub-zero temperatures at 8.30am and some nutter was doing a Jason (just a thong). I sincerely hope that he was turned away or gets hypothermia before the series starts.

I Got Through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch This Space People

Congratuations! Sunnys.
What were you dressed as for the auditions and what did you say.
I was going to audition this year as well, But changed my mind at the last moment. I think Iam too young, only 18, so its better if I audition next year. Hope you get right through to the BB6 house.

i got through too!!
Was surprised because i failed the auditions for the last celebrity big brother

What, a comedian like you?
I'd have thought you would have been the top choice!

Btw, well done Sunnys - keep us posted!

Well done Sunnys.

Just out of interest, how many people get through the first stage? Then how many stages are there after that?

Sharon Powers (BB6 exec producer) was quoted in an article saying that about 10% of all those that show up get through. But that's only out of the queue and into the diary room stage. So after that, I don't know...

Im going to the London auditions next weekend. Anybody know what i should expect?

Don't mention Digital Spy or you'll get no further!

Expect the unexpected.
Apparently you might need it if you go through

Btw, welcome to DS:BB. If you're not successful, hope to see you here for all the action!

Expect to see lots of mad people Good luck & welcome to the forum.

All you guys who got through, have to let us know every detail. It's the rules of the forum

I went through on BB2 and BB3 but to be honest they seemed to choose the people that were normal if you know what I mean. The ones that just sat there and didnt try to be loud and look at me people. Certainly not the ones that got there bits out on videos. I must admit it surprised me when two blokes who took there clothes off in the queue this year got to go through according to one report!

IM going to the auditions on saturday in london as well

Good luck! Im going on Sunday. Have you got a speech prepared just in case you get to the diary room stage or are you going to make it up as you go along?

no i will make it up as i go but good luck to you to

i would shit my self when the sent me into that box thing and i would be having palputations whilst in the que so you can only imagin what i would be like if i actualy got asked to go into the house

Good luck to everyone i was going to go to the Cardiff one but bottled it.

I'm still humming and harring about whether to go on Sunday to the London ones. I probably won't go, but there's a small part of me telling me to go.

Just go, you know you want to Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on

Congrats to all you people who got through!!!!
Good luck for all the coming auditions.

If you make it in the house dont forget to mention DS!!!

I was at the Cardiff auditions and failed section 2. I then followed to the Birmingham auditions and the same happened. Can't tell about what happens after stage 1, thanks to a non disclosure agreement, but can give the following advice...

Arive early - about an hour before seems to be favourite. This typically ends up with only a two or three hour wait to get to stage 1. Some people actually camp out!
Make sure you have warm socks and a thermos of coffee or tea and something energetic to eat; I took some flap jacks.
Ensure you have picture ID with you and proof of age, driving licence is favourite, as otherwise you could pass stage one and your then stuffed.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to who gets past stage 1. Certainly a personality with something interesting to say is a good point, as is the ability to hold a good argument. I was waiting in the Birmingham queue (2.5 hours) with a bloke who had a great sense of humour. We sparked off each other and were having a good laugh, so by the time we got to the front, my jaws were aching with laughter, but yet he didn't clear stage 1.

This information, by the way, could be given by anyone who had attended to stage 1 and hadn't signed the non-disclosure.

Some people just went and queued and when they got there, had nothing to say about themselves. They didn't stand a chance. Dressing up in tu-tus with writing on it saying "pick me" also didn't work (at least, it didn't work if there wasn't a personality behind it)

As I can't say anything about stage two, I can only tell you what not to do. Don't attempt it when you're in the middle of moving house, have driven 1,500 miles in a car and 500 in a truck and shifted shed loads of furniture in the days before, and haven't spent more than three days that month in your own bed. It does nothing for your ability to face the sixty seconds.

My chances are blown, and I won't be attempting London. I probably won't be attempting next year, either. Someone, I think on this forum, stated that they know the people they are looking for before they start the audition process. I believe that may be true; and there is no way in hell that my lifestyle fits any kind of preconceived pidgeon hole.

If you've got the guts to stand in the queues and take your chances, then I take my hat off to you, having done it twice myself. I know that an awful lot of people get rejected, and with the speed that they have to get through people, speedy rejections hurt.

Sunnys - I say good luck to you; but if you keep the forum informed you will probably blow your chances; and this is a once in a lifetime thing; so make the most of it, and my heart goes with you. I'd love to be in your position.

Michelle.

bailey1987 - To be honest, I think the house would be easier than the auditioning. The auditioning is false pressure, really. I take a few minutes to warm to a situation, and the 60 second thing doesn't give a personality like mine any hope of getting through; thats why I'm giving up trying.

yes a agree besides im too young for the show im only 17 and i wouldnt bother going to auditions until i was 20 teens dont tend to get in and i dont think it would realy fit if there was a teen in i mean look at kenzie it wasnt right.

i know for a fact that once i had got past the hi im nathan pleased to meet you in the house with the other 11 people i would be fine its just that bit i can't stand i can't even watch it on the tv i flick backwards and forwards until there all in

I know a few people who maybe interested in this, don't think i could do it as i don't think that i could put up with the media intrusion and because of a couple of other reasons.

Question, do you have to have an application form to do this audition or can you just turn up on the day? If so when is the London audition and where is it located and what time are the auditions running from and to?
If you do need an application form is it to late to request one?
