Call backs... what I heard

[Hope]

Hey, I'm a newbeee,

Just to let you know, my friend auditioned in manchester and got through all the stages, when she left after the second day, they told her they'd contact her in about 3 weeks after all the auditions were done, which they are now...

Do you think thats right?

shes doin my head in lol she cant stop thinking about it! haha bless her!

[2010..BB]

no big borther would not have said "about" so that a lie
they say big brother will get back to you

[lastchancebb]

my friend said big brother said big brother will get back to You and when he tried to push it big brother didn't want a bar of it. And said i have your details. he said some of his questions he was stumped and stammered through but others he gave funny answers.

[Hope]

no, she really did say to her ''we'll call you in about 3 weeks''... so that makes me think, maybe they'll be calling people sooner than 8 weeks away! why would they take that long?

[Stacey.]

hey, Hope :)
Welcome to Tibb!
hope you enjoy your time here.

[Ninastar]

Something makes me think that everyone who commented in here apart from stacey is the same person.

[2010..BB]

no im different person, well i auditioned and maybe their big brother slipped up, illl look forward to 6 weeks then.. can you tell me one thing though so i know your not lying... what were the 2 letters on her sticker?? everyone had the same 2 letters so you are aloud to say tht

[Hope]

M3 i think

[lastchancebb]

cf

[Hope]

also, why look forward to 6 weeks? wjats happening then?

[lastchancebb]

there is such a small amount of people that will get through dont hold your breath

[Hope]

true, best for you guys to keep ur feet on the ground... i think its the NOT KNOWING that so annoying! thats whats driving my friend crazy... major limbo...
it could be 3 weeks waiting or 9 weeks waiting!!!!

[lastchancebb]

as soon as there is info i'm sure someone will put it on here. They probably Going through them as we speak

[Hope]

surely they must feel for the people who went to manchester? they've already been waiting 3 weeks... why do they take so long?

lol i auditioned too, i got lost in manchester when my friend got through and i didnt! exciting times!

[lastchancebb]

manchester people may have had the call backs and your friend out in the cold tell her. So only if she actually hears in 8 weeks or whenever at least she will be out of her misery thinking she missed out

[Hope]

i think only time will tell.... best thing is to get on with ur lives and if you havent heard in 6 weeks time, i rekon assume ur not through

[Hope]

do u mean i should tell my friend people in manchester have already had call backs to put her out of her misery? and then if she gets a call it'll be a nice surprize?
does anyone have ANY clue of when call backs are?

[lastchancebb]

how many were through and how many get a call back-

[Hope]

i think like 100 get call backs... about 900 got through all the stages of auditions and were told they'd be called if they were through

[lastchancebb]

where did You pull that number i don.t think that many got through.

[Hope]

i just guessed lol... a generous guess... why, how many do u think got through?

[lastchancebb]

400 tops my friend said when he did the big questionnaire he was in that room for 3 hours and there were about 20 people that came and went and were there when he was

[Hope]

thats weird... my friend said she asked in manchester and apparently, 100 got through on the first day alone!

[winner]

after i had spoken to big brother, i was talking to a runner who i had been chatting with before. when i asked him what happens next he said just get on with your life and if your chosen bb will be in touch.

Also did BB say anythin to anyone after they had done the diary room bit??? ~I just got told the legal stuff not to tell anyone etc ...

[lastchancebb]

my friend got told the same and that bb had his details. Also when to be available i.e can be contacted anytime. Who are the runners are they associated with bb like travellin crew or what i spoke to my runner for near on 20 mins.

[Hope]

so, be available to be contacted any time within the next 8 weeks?

[BB11UK]

Roughly 100-150 get through to the Diary Room stage at each venue. As there were 5 venues and 7 dates that makes up to roughly 700-1050.

They will probably by split up for various producers to go through and choose half of the people, so if they're given 50 audition clips they can only put through 25. The people who are through get a call to go to the next stage which is always really top-secret. At this stage there will be BB team members analysing people within group discussions, activities, etc. where they will make notes and the next selection of people will be eliminated.

Eventually it will be whittled down to say 75-100 and the producers will have a big meeting about who is best suited and why, etc. Some will then go into the test house, others will be stand-ins and others will become the last ever bunch of Housemates.

[Hope]

BB11UK do you have any idea when they call people back? you seem to know lots

[Twilight]

LMAO your all obviously the same person

[Beastie]

Good luck.

[lastchancebb]

i was hear two years ago however can't remember my old account

[2010..BB]

who would be sad enough to make lots of accounts,

i reckon all the noobs with a few posts and not much interest in the site are here because they auditioned for bb & got or didn't get through, but are curious about what happens next,

this is the best site i could find to discuss stuff tbh, so probs same with other peeps .. Anyway am off to snoozeys! :hugesmile:

correct

[cheetahfur]

Instead of making more accounts! I just talk to myself haha!

[BB11UK]

March april time!

Correct.

Although people could be contacted from now until mid-series.

[lastchancebb]

its a long time to wait why do they have such a gap. People who got through to the call back and waiting will be waiting annoyed at any missed calls from unknown numbers. Alot can change in 2 months from auditions.

[Stacey.]

Instead of making more accounts! I just talk to myself haha!

:joker:

[BB11UK]

its a long time to wait why do they have such a gap. People who got through to the call back and waiting will be waiting annoyed at any missed calls from unknown numbers. Alot can change in 2 months from auditions.

Because the open auditions are just like a giant filter that gets rid of all the "no" people - and when over 10,000 auditioned it's pretty much vital.

Now they have roughly 500 left to go through, but more precisely. They're now looking for a number of things in the applicants, not just who stands out...

1. Who has something unique or different about them. Background, Disability, etc.
2. Who can bring something to the house. Bitchiness, Laughter, Arguements, etc.
3. Who can cope? This is the reason a lot of ex-HMs have had some sort of struggle in life, because BB know they haven't been wrapped in cotton wool all their lives and have some mental strength.

The audition tapes and application forms of all auditionees will be put together and watched/read by a number of producers, who will then discuss their opinions on the housemate and the above things (a bit like after your Round 2 interview when they discuss it and decide on a yes or a no).

[Hope]

lol... do you rekon they're doing this now? could they start calling people in the next week or so?

anyone heard anything?

[elliebelly]

You will not hear now until March time...you will then go to london to be put in groups. You will play random games and banter. You will then be picked to go to the next stage..psychologists. Anything can happen after that.

[BBitterLemons]

Auditions have only just finished so nobody would've heard anything by now, however, between a week from now and the end of february, early march at a very push you will have heard something if they're interested. Thereafter you might aswell forget about it and move on because there is no way they'll refer back to the longer regional lists of candidates after they've constructed their oversized shortlist of 200-50 potentials.

So for now, everyone who has auditioned and succeeded so far has a chance and can remain hopeful.

[lastchancebb]

if you get a call back do they pay expenses. I.e a night in a hotel? Would be a nice weekend i've never been to london

[Beastie]

Ahh good look I could be talking to a bb11 housemate right now :)

[Beastie]

:hugesmile:You could but you'd have no idea which one!! haha!

If i don't get a call and the show begins i will reveal maself ><

Thankyou :) and please reveal yourself after you come out of the house if you go on! OMG its so exciting.. the producers could be looking through all the applicants.. as we speak!

[Beastie]

I KNOOOOWWWW! I REALLY HOPE I GET CALLED BACK BECAUSE I KNOW, if i get called back they will be like.. OH! :o

WE HAVE TO HAVE HIM/HER!!!

;D

Hehe! YOU ROCK! Would you say your a bit CONTROVERSIAL?

[Beastie]

Hmmm, i think all contestants are abit contreversial in there own way, whether it be looks, opinions or personality, i'm not gonna say what i am, it would be easy for a BB producer to point me out, so i'm keeping zipped as tempting as it is to talk about myself = ]

Hehe okay Daaaaamn!

Well have you met any ex housemates before?

[Beastie]

Are you curious to find out whether big bro do go for ex contestants friends?

Lol well ooo that as well. I just wondered really if you met any. Although I did hear that Marco from bb5 was friendly with Vanessa bb6 so therefore I think Marco gave advice to Vanessa of what to do in the BB auditions. Also apparently Imogen bb7 knew Rachel from bb9 (They were in Miss Wales together) so I bet Rachel was helped out of what to do too!

[Beastie]

well i know NO housemates apart from ONE, and were hardly best friends,

Oh lol. I would love to meet a ex housemate :) I have only seen Nikki and Mario and Lisa at the auditions but did not speak to them :(

[Beastie]

Its rodrigo btw

Oh.. ooooooo. I bet you live in Leeds then!

[Beastie]

Umm Umm Umm Umm Umm Umm!

No. Comment.

Lol :) Okay sorry. Aww what else can I ask you that won't give anything awaaaay. Do you like The Smurfs?

[Beastie]

No i hate the lil blue B*STARDS!

i had a nightmare about a smurf as a child, it was throwing potatoes at me window = [

:joker:

[Patrick]

Its like a full on newbies meeting in here except for TheBeast and Stacey

[bigbrothermaniac008]

This will be the year with the most contraversial housemates and limited amounts of "normal" ones.. also, anyone waiting for a callback dont let it rule your life, i didnt recieve one till mid march last year, theres still time yet :)

[BBitterLemons]

Bollocks, they were well under way by then. You should be careful when telling lies about your false experiences because there are people around who have auditioned, have gone far and will suss you out in a snap.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

Dude, Every auditionee has different experiences, I'm no liar, believe me..

[bigbrothermaniac008]

No travel expenses are not paid, its their way of "if you want to be on the show, you'll turn up to the next stage"

[lastchancebb]

i will. My friend is pretty sure he is through from his interview said the big brother voice lapped him up.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

Believe me when someone gets a call back we will all know about it, Its best to keep quiet though because bb insiders do check forums etc..

[bigbrothermaniac008]

thats always goood, what did your interviewers look like? where did you audition?

[lastchancebb]

Cardiff how did you make them giggle. The people in the crew shirts at auditions do they have a say about people because i think alot can be said about people waiting act differently till they know they being judged when the camera is rollin

[bigbrothermaniac008]

they asked me to tell them a joke..i thought my joke was pretty poor tbh, i just smiled like all day, because you never know when your being watched, lol. and as usual theres the stupidly loud ones putting on an act.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

I actually saw one! the runners were pretty friendly, but they dont have alot of inside info..

[bigbrothermaniac008]

what did you say that made them laugh so much?

[lastchancebb]

hey willis what kind of people were in your group discussion my friend was there early i was their late.

[lastchancebb]

but do the runners talk to the crew cause don.t they come into the room when your interview is on

[Beastie]

God please when will the torchiere of not knowing end, please some one get a call

I got a call <3

[lastchancebb]

not a big brother one i know for fact they not been done.

[Beastie]

not a big brother one i know for fact they not been done.

:wink:

[lastchancebb]

Its from friend of friend who knows someone low in the bb food chain. Apparently they Going through them now

[lastchancebb]

shouldn't it be now though. Didn't someone say of the 100 that got through at each audition venue each day only 10 from each will get through?

[bigbrothermaniac008]

Just remember the massive characters your up against.. Good luck everyone!

[lastchancebb]

so is that right 10 from each venue get through

[Beastie]

I can now exclusively reveal that me and Stacey are going into the house but shhhhh don't tell anyone!

[Beastie]

stacey who.

Stacey from TIBB <3

[lastchancebb]

I want more inside info on the process and what is coming on bb11 its getting a bit trashy there forums talking rubbish.

[Beastie]

I want more inside info on the process and what is coming on bb11 its getting a bit trashy there forums talking rubbish.

Then why are you on a forum?

[lastchancebb]

as i want to see if information on call backs etc. TRUE INFORMATION comes online cause i'm a big fan

[Beastie]

as i want to see if information on call backs etc. TRUE INFORMATION comes online cause i'm a big fan

Lol well I have no idea but I love the rumour mill before bb11 is unleashed :elephant:

[lastchancebb]

i hate rumors especially when they turn out to be rubbish

[Stacey.]

Stacey from TIBB <3

:wavey:

[BBitterLemons]

Its like a full on newbies meeting in here except for TheBeast and Stacey

Pretty sure my join date means I'm no more 'newb' than you are.

[lastchancebb]

Nope

[Hope]

any news?

[Raph]

aww this is exciting,, good luck to your friend! (:

[yousoboo!]

I heard that they put a bully through to the next round.

[lastchancebb]

yeah.that is me

[lastchancebb]

what makes you say that? I think it relies massively on how everyone interacts!

[lastchancebb]

sorry had difficuly understanding your last post lol. What you askin

[lastchancebb]

At the next stage at the hotel what do they do in the groups?

[lastchancebb]

wow but if he been on another show wouldnt that ruin his chances? Yeah ask him if you get a chance i got close in 09 didnt bother last yr cause i was annoyed they didnt pick me

[lastchancebb]

i guess being gay he is a minority so that works in selecting him cause a smaller pool of people to choose from

[Ronaldinho10]

ive got to be honest m8 u are a bit of a tit obviously these people have told you in confidence which i have to someone else and the fact that you are clearly posting there identity is a disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Fair enough we all want to get through nbut if someone trust you enough to tell you there bb expereince then imo you should respect that as i would with anyone who tells me.

[BB11UK]

When you said there was a guy from Snog, Marry, Avoid - I knew it was that first guy (Ross) but why are you posting it all over the forums, knowing that the BB team check them.

[2010..BB]

fair play if he goes in, but cant you see that possible is just causing controversy... i like it. no point moaning

[BB11UK]

theres an article somewhere that says they had been contacting charities getting war victoms to audition, and there is an article talking about one who actually audiotned and got through from bolton, so i reckon one of the housemate positions will be taken up by an ex soldier!

I read that. It was after the Manchester Auditions. He was a soldier in Afghanistan who was wounded and was sent home to get amputated.

However...BB makes it very clear that if the press catch on and their name is in the papers then their chances of going in the house are slashed.
AND he needs to be cleared by the Army (by someone really high up) in order to go on Big Brother. And chances are, they wouldn't get it because it could create negative press for the Army.

Although there will probably be some connection to the Army with it being one of last year's most talked about subjects in the news.

[lastchancebb]

posting other peoples information is a bit rough dude. Pretty much ruined their chances.

[2010..BB]

i think its funny and well done possible, people hate this

[CutToTheChase!]

Alright? Im new to this forum thing but have had a right laugh from some of these comments like.

I reckon call backs will be this coming week. xxx

[CutToTheChase!]

I dont know. Hopefully. I just have a feeling it will be this week. Well I hope so. And I hope whoever does get a callback lets everyone else know (obviously not who they are) but just that they got a callback so you know If you didnt get one, you aint in!

[elliebelly]

I have mentioned on another thread, that it probably wont be until March. I may be wrong but that is the time they did last year. So mid March end of March if no one has heard by then!!.....probably they wont.

[2010..BB]

well by the looks of possible housemaye he withdrew all of his comments on the 21st at 11 at night so..........

[elliebelly]

Apparently call backs have started.

[lastchancebb]

no they haven't

[2010..BB]

thats what possible is saying BUT.....Look. 2bh if anyone says they got a call back and they generally are telling the truth none of us arew going to believe them anyway

I KNOW FOR A FACT bigbrothermaniac008 will of had about 20 missed calles off them by now

[lastchancebb]

Why would they start on a friday people. They haven't yet people. Will try find out when they started. I've got a rough date but when they diallin i'll let you know

[2010..BB]

possible started removing his posts on the 21st s that makes it a monday?? ahh i dont no what to think

[lastchancebb]

seriously no.

[2010..BB]

ok last chance as you do seem to no enough... if i got a call back im away from mid april to early may, are they important dates?

[elliebelly]

april to may would be important dates

[BBitterLemons]

by april you're in with psychologists, they'd be in contact long before that.

[elliebelly]

I know that call backs are March, I know that there is auditions in London, and group sessions, then the shrinks, and then the police check, medical check. Possible housemate how far are you?

[Hope]

do you rekon call backs will be beginning of march?? my friend is going to australia from mid march to beginning of april! i hope she doesnt miss out cos of that!

[elliebelly]

She may miss out. When they call back they start arranging interviews in London. More of the elimination process. But they should call her by start of March, not 100% but more than likely.

[lastchancebb]

where is your friend Going in australia the lucky girl. I would love to go there. Hot australian men with hot hot accents. Where did your friend audition hope.

[Hope]

haha shes going to melbourne first and then sydney to see her dads wedding.
i hope she doesnt miss out, she'd be such a good housemate! all our friends have been telling her for years to audition, so she finally did and shes got this far! shes such a funny character to watch! what does everyone else think? call backs beginngin of march?? that was my gut feeling anyway!

[lastchancebb]

depends where did she audition as to call backs. When does she fly?

[Hope]

she did it in manchester. she flies on 15th late night flight.

[lastchancebb]

she will get a call by then for sure.

[Hope]

do you rekon they'll start doin the london auditions before she leaves too?

[lastchancebb]

I'm not sure when those will be yet. I'll try get info soon. She may have to choose.

[Hope]

ooooh dear! that wouldnt be an easy choice for her :( she'll be gutted

[lastchancebb]

did she tell them her situation.

[Hope]

no she didnt cos she didnt want it to ruin her chances!

[lastchancebb]

wow see if she gets a call first.

[Hope]

yeah true, i think she will get a call! its getting exciting now that its march! i hope people on here let us know when call backs have started!

[ridemcowboy]

no big borther would not have said "about" so that a lie
they say big brother will get back to you

yea thats right .. i went with my friend and they said that to her aswell "big brother will get back to you" ;)

[ridemcowboy]

400 tops my friend said when he did the big questionnaire he was in that room for 3 hours and there were about 20 people that came and went and were there when he was
Iv worked out there were approximatly 1152 people who were seen at the 2nd stage .. if u think there were 9 audition individual days and each diary room long audition lasts 30mins and there are 8 interviews going on at the same time .... well thats 1152 people ;) .. sounds alot .. but thats how many there roughly were.. im guessing from previous years they will call to london, around 40 people from each city, thats 200 people.. 1/5 of the total people interviewed.. so u have a 1 in 5 chance of gettin trhough.. but possibly slimer.. good luck to everyone though .. the londong auditions are not till either the 20th or the 27th Marchg so there still is time .. i was phoned the day before a couple of years ago .. so it can be that last minute to get through :)

[Hope]

what if NONE of you guys get call backs, so none of us will know if they've started or not? :( i wish they'd hurry up!

[lastchancebb]

someone on here is bound too get calls for sure. Next week guys.

[Hope]

how do u know its next week?

[lastchancebb]

just a feeling :p

[Thomasina]

Call backs have begun today for London, it may take about a week for them to call everybody up, the phone calls and instructions are quite a long process.

[elliebelly]

I have said all along that it would be from March 5th onwards. Seems like I was right. So Thomasina how many make the London auditions? Is it actually the final 200 that get call backs or more? Just that you seem to know a bit! Have you audtioned yourself?

[amiin]

Wow i think someone previously guessed it would be this week. Ellie you heard anything? I hope against hope i get a call though my interview was a bit basic.

[elliebelly]

Wow i think someone previously guessed it would be this week. Ellie you heard anything? I hope against hope i get a call though my interview was a bit basic.

I have not personally heard, as I have not auditioned but someone I know is stil waiting for a call, and still not giving up hope. If that call isnt made by say next Wednesay I think they will then give up!! So good luck to all who are wating.
