Oh yeh! 19 January :D 2nd time lucky....
What was the point in those emails so? A [naive] part of me was thinking they would get you a separate more private sort of audition thingy or that they might be running things different this time around.

I have no idea, maybe they could have replied some people back who they like the sound of to ask them to jump straight to round 2? that is my guess anyway but i never got a reply from them!

I'm looking to interview someone who is going to audition to be on BB11. Is there anyone that would be interested that lives in London?

I believe this is the case. I got an e-mail asking for my phone number.
Stupidly, I mistyped my number in my reply.
Got another e-mail asking me for the number, and they called today, but I missed the call. They left a message saying they'd call again.

Answer #1: The casting team would be able to see roughly how many people are interested in auditioning. If a small number of emails are submitted there is no point holding auditions in a number of cities. This will be the reason for Birmingham and Newcastle no longer holding auditions this year (14,000 emails were recieved).
Answer #2: The applicants that interest the casting team recieve a phone call from Big Brother with a short phone interview. Depending on how good a housemate they sound like, they will then be given an opportunity to skip the first few stages of the audition process.
If you emailed the casting team and they didn't get back to you, sadly this means they didn't find you an interesting enough applicant and you will have to go through all of the open audition process.

Lucky you got the voicemail.
My best mate got a missed call from an unknown number, and his phone didn't say he had a voicemail. Then it went off again and he thought it was annoying T-Mobile thing, answered it and it was like "Hi, is that...? I'm calling about Big Brother..."
Caught him completely off-guard and he didn't know what to say for half of it. The conversation is really chilled-out apparently, but he wishes he could do it all again, without shaking this time.

Really? Damn, I wish I gave some more details about myself in the email I sent in September. I just said that I was interested and gave my email address. Argh stupid of me!

If a TiBB member gets on they should shout their username as they walk down the stairs into the house, otherwise they might not broadcast it and we won't know.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum ..just wanted to reassure you that they do actually call back. I got an email asking for my phone number after sending them a lengthy audition email. I sent my number over and the next day someone called but I was just coming into the drive and my son said they were in a rush and would call back...I wasn't sure if it was someone from the programme but an hour later a nice lady called back and gave me a brief interview on the phone. It was a bit of a shock to be spoken to by a producer and I just said what came into my head (better to be natural I suppose??). I thought I would be plucked out of obscurity but it's not the case. If I want to get any further I have to queue up along with everyone else...at my age I might be dead in the queue before it's my turn!
Good luck to everyone applying ... everyone that is who wants to sit on the toilet in front of the Nation???!!!!!!! :joker:

I'm a bit worried about my audition. I have an exam on 19th that won't be over 'til 11:30am. I'm worried it will be too late to get to venue :(

Just turn up at the auditions Arneldo! You going to the Dublin one? Some people do turn up late like 1 in the afternoon. Just queue up and BB will see you!

Go to the auditions! you are NEVER too old!!! Please!
:elephant: Well, that's my motto usually, but having seen such pretty, young hopefuls on here I can't believe they would want someone who looks pretty normal - the average, overweight, middle-aged woman. You have to hope that your personality shines through in the one minute you are allocated to sell yourself! I shall start by dancing, singing, arguing and laughing followed by manic depression and ending with getting naked...that should do it!! :joker:
