yeah I get what you're saying, however after all the criticsm of BB3 I would hope (and expect) the producers would take this on board and remedy things for BB4...so I'll see you in the house next year then?!!

Not in a million years. Why?

1. I like my privacy

2. I like my space

3. I don't want my entire life past and present printed inaccurately in the tabloids

4. I like some sort of control of my life

5. I dont desire fame

...among other reasons!

I'm DEFINATELY going to send in an application form. Does the fact you don't send in a video count against you?

I think it's required that you send in a video.

No. I'm going to apply for one of those nice newfangled credit cards contraptions and then I'm going to apply for VSO when the statements come in.

Seriously, having seen all that we've seen of BB, and what happends to 95% of the HM after eviction (i.e. obscurity) WHY would anyone want to put their lives under a microscope like this? I'm not being facetious - I'm genuinely puzzled.

NO NEVER. But I do think a 30+ big brother would be very interesting viewing, although we're told the audiance is young I dont agree I think it's diverse in ages but I think those who phone and text etc are the young end of audiance which is why channel 4 will keep it with the majority of young house mates.

It would be great to have an under 30's house and an over 30's house being run side by side with same tasks etc and seeing the differences in the two houses.

I'd answer but you haven't yet replied to my PM, so I wont.
(He said maturely)

Jack

I'd apply in ashot if I thought they'd accept a boring cu-t like me.

But they wouldn't, so I won't

Jack

He's a little bit pissed, boys and girls. But we love him anyway.

And keep your furry knickers on - PM coming.

ahhhhhh you've been 'jaded' you had such great plans a few weeks ago.

REMEMBER (insidious whisper in ear - good practise for being an hm) YOU'D GET TO MEET THE GORGE DAV!!!!

FJ making his vid now methinks.

Deerd
hell, i'd be the scottish one that gets the boot first.

p.s. BUUUUTTTT I WOULD GET TO MEET DERMOT - hmmm
over 30 Scot buying a camcorder monday

p.p.s still waiting for your PM reply on victoria secrets

Erm dense Englishman asking: have you PM'd me? I aint got it. Or should I be PMing U What about?

Meet Dav eh? Can you guarantee she'd be doing the next series??? Not that I'd vhange my mind of course. I'm absolutely determined NOT to apply for BB4.

But, if you could find out that would be useful to know...

Jack

emailing davs agent as we speak (well, not quite as we speak 'cos even i ain't that good at multi-tasking, although hmmm )

PM before i went on hols - but my pc does keep going out and getting p***ed without me (yah know the 'page cannot be found stuff') could be lost in cyber-pub somewhere - bet they don't have islay malts on the gantry. wouldn't mind my pc going on the p*** but i think it only right it should take me tooooooo

without revealing toooo much (fanhar...fill in the rest) PM on vic secrets, cassocks and underbeds (any under 18 should be in bed by now and if not should be intrigued )

Deerd
will get dav answer (for you) will get dermot answer (for me) see ya at auditions.

p.s. how's the malt i sent ya goin down.

Yes,i agree im 36!Too old!But good luck to all who apply!Ive enjoyed watching it(never seen it before!)and will look out for any of you that get on(not that id know who you are!!)

I would never apply as I know I couldn't cope with the post-eviction media trauma. I also wouldn't want to subject my parents to all the attention that being in the house would ensue. There are lots of things about my past which could be dragged up and used by the tabloids which I wouldn't want people to know. It's nothing really bad, I'm not a criminal but I think all of us have certain things in our pasts which are best forgotten.
I also couldn't handle being in a house with no books or magazines. I'd go crazy.
I don't think age should put people off applying. Older people are far more likely to have had interesting life experiences and less likely to want to spend their lives acting like idiots which is funny initially but mind-numbingly boring on the 23rd viewing. The one thing this series has lacked has been any sensible, mature conversation. I wouldn't want to watch it all the time but a little less of the "fun" would have been most welcome.

This year's show was heavily engineered by the producers. We got exactly what they wanted. The age of the contestants was irrelivent. These people had no stimulation at all, other than each other & after a few weeks that will wear thin.

Tell them (the HMs) that one of thier number is a plant (a professional actor). Actually, don't put a pro in there but have them all trying to spot the phoney.

We might have had a diiferent last 4 this year ;o)

Al

maybe £7million! but why will people willingly submit to such public execution for so little real reward?

for the fame? infamy more like - these people will never taste the real brand of fame that comes backed-up with hard cash. theyre just scurrilous tabloid fodder, gone tomorrow.

the bookies are milking it,
the video, the book,
the book of the film.
other shows are milking it,
broadsheets are trying to get all highbrow about it,
but its still just bread and circuses,
opium for the masses,
keep em distracted while the world goes down the pan,
but who cares cos its cool to be a fan.
just a bit of harmless fun
mindless distraction:
so why would you wannaBBs prostitute yourself for so low a sum?

are you so cheap? is it the fast track to easy street?

can you tell me why you would voluntarily be locked up with 11 other sociopathic, pavlovian chimps, your every flaw and harmless foible ruthlessly and mercilessly explored, exposed and ridiculed by the bloodthirsty mob?

you wouldnt mind so much if the mob had the intelligence & good manners to grant you the cheers and truly warm showbiz-type affection that your efforts deserved, and that your ever-so-fragile ego demands

but they,
like the wannaBB,
watch too much TV,
cant tell illusion
from reality,
and think they are the celebrity
except everyone else is making money - but you.
so give me anonymity.
and leave me to my dignity.

so tell me. why?

Of course I would! BB pay your mortgage for 2 months and you get to lie about in the sunshine - which is a BIG bonus if you come from Scotland.

but then again you are stuck in a cage with mostly english tarts...

would ye noa do a sandy and end up tellin em all tae foooook off at some point in the proceedings, sooner rather than later?

I wouldn't get picked for the following reasons:-

I can't put my body through a rubber band
I won't take my clothes off in front a camera in a field
I don't have a Gordie accent
I have not will never be an extra on The Bill
I take regular showers and I don't make very obvious farts
I'm not losing my hair in my 20's
I don't have the agility to scale walls
I'm not a posh barrister in training
I've never been lost a modeling job because of 9/11
I'm not a bisexual virgin
I don't go on rant when I am pissed
I'm not a size 8 blonde
I'm not a size 8 brunette
Last of all I am a natural ginger!

I couldn't possibly be successful as I'm not a liar, an actor, don't love myself enough, and I have actually watched all three series so I know what BB is all about. :'(
