people always tell me to apply but I never will

Twice for seasons 7 and 8, didn't get very far

Never will apply for a series in this era, much too draining and nasty

my mate applyed last year

I never knew that, Richie. I cant believe they preferred dull Bonner and Duller Amy to you.

i applyed this year got quite far

Was a relief especially not to get on BB8 as I would have been climbing the walls trying to get out

I applied for BB13 and I think I got quite a long way. I don't know how far exactly as they don't tell you how many stages there are, but there were a few things that made me feel like I was nearing the end. I met Scott and Deana at auditions.

If you're interested, I do recommend auditioning as it's a fascinating process, but you need to seriously think about if you want to be in the House. I'd still like to do it, but I don't intend to. I'm an actor, and I feel like it could really damage my career, so it's not worth it.

I am sure BB8 would have been a lot better with you in it !

the thought did come to mind to apply this year but i don't have a visa so i don't think i'd even be eligible lol

Me and my boyfriend applied for the first channel 5 series. Met Masie during the third round. Was quite a fun process, lots of big personalities and lots of bizarre stories. Lots of glee style singing too. Wouldn't do it again though, it was quite clear the type of housemate they wanted and we certainly weren't it 😂

Ahhhh I actually applied for Series 8 too. Was a very surreal experience, the open auditions were like 10 days after my 18th birthday and I went with someone who wanted to audition, for me it was just a laugh at the time.

The open auditions were REALLY long, after doing some weird ice breaker games I was sent to some room to fill in a ridicilously big questionnaire about my life story. Ironically the friend who wanted to audition didn't get through and I lost my ride home.

I had two stages after that...and a video I made at home about myself. Had to get used to travelling down to London on the train which I hadn't ever been to London at that point before.

The further I got, the more serious I actually took it and I kind of enjoyed the experience.

But now the 26 year old me, would never audition in my wildest dreams...not my thing putting everything about my life out there. I like my personal life to be private...I guess learning that just came with growing up.

The "Talk Of Doom" was done every time I went to London and it was freaking Hillarious

I queued for a few hours before finally getting in the audition room, so many people dressed up and deliberately overacting when I got in the warm as it was blooming freezing outside at the time

For me when it was finally my turn, myself and 9 other people were put in a group

It was pass the tennis ball under the chin down the line, and I naturally hadn't shaved before auditioning so my stubble was irritating people

Then my group were taken to the next part where the 10 of us had to form the word SEX amongst ourselves

When that was done, we were split into pairs where we had to listen to our partners selling themselves on why they should be on BB and play it back to the rest of the group

When it was my turn for additional info I told them I was into wrestling, and did my Hulk Hogan impression (without obviously ripping off my shirt ) which they were genuinely impressed with

But unfortunately didn't get my hand stamped unfortunately and I was on my merry way home

Yeah we were queing up for a few hours too and yeah a lot of people way over acting at the auditions. It was really bad, but it was typical sort of housemates youd probably get these days...proudly boasting about wanting to be tv presenters and having people writing about their lives every day.

We had the Tennis Ball thing too but after that we were split in to pairs...given 5 minutes to come up with a play based around a Word...the word we were given was "Misunderstanding" so in the play we did a thing where I was hitting on a woman and she kept subtley telling me to piss off until she poured a glass of water over me and pushed me over to wish I just said "Get In Ive Pulled There"...Sounds awful on paper but it got a few laughs and we both got sent through.

Then with our stamps we were taken in to basically like a school classroom layout and given a massive questionnaire with really personal questions at times...took a couple of hours to finish...just over two hours I think

Kudos on being a Wrestling fan btw

I applied for Big Brother 12 and somehow got a call but was too nervous, suppose it was a good thing I didn't get on it as it was the first series on Channel 5 and the house was full of horrendous people and every series on Channel 5 has been trash.

For some reason I think you are about 60 . Obviously very wrong

Didn't stop Kimberley - in fact it sorted her out on that front

I'd like to, 'cause a massive fan.
However, I don't think i'd last very long.
I'd probably not get on with the 'popular' group, fight every underdogs corner, tell BB to bu99er off if asked to do anything demeaning, and go mad if anyone was having a bit of slap & tickle under the duvet...whilst I was trying to sleep.
I'd also call out showmances for what they were.
Oh yeah, I hate snorers, and LOATHE the idea of having to share a bed with someone who isn't the other half.

Yeah......I think i'm better off on here sla99ing off all the contestants.
