How do you know this?

I auditioned last year and got through to the diary room stage. I didn't hear from anyone and I got fast tracked this year and made it to the diary room again, I must be doing something right.

If you have been selected I'm sure you will be called soon. They may be starting the CRB/doctor assessments too so I'm a few weeks just ring your doctor and ask if they have been contacted by any production company or external assessor.

Chances are I won't get selected for having asperger but I tend to enjoy auditions because of the amazing euphoria and atmosphere and it's SOOOO EASY to talk to hot people!!

Rosy 12-03-2012 11:42 AM

I've left my mobile at my parents house arrrgh......I hope they don't ring until tomorrow when I go and get it - that is if they ring at all!

You don't have to list your GP's details on the long application form - I don't think it's likely they do any medical checks until after the next stage of interviews.

I'm almost guaranteed to get a callback, I'll tell you when I do so you all know the timeframe.

Have you heard anything yet someotherguy???

someotherguy 12-03-2012 03:42 PM

nope not yet, never any guarantee i would though. last year i had the call at like 5:30pm so ts possible but i wont hold my breath, im cool with not getting a callback, i already got to ecperience the house so im content.

They're not going to do them all on the same day anyway?

If you don't hear anything by Friday afternoon, just prepare to get very drunk in the evening to forget all about it :D

You must have people in the know on the inside lol
So they won't have rung everyone until the end of the week then?

Well, that's based on the assumption:
- there will be around 150-200 people to callback (varies year-on-year)
- audition will be the week ending the 30th and I would expect them to give at least a week's notice

When I applied last year mine was several days before some other legitimate people on here had theirs, so I know they won't be all at once. But I don't know when the callbacks started, so they might already be over? :shocked:

Hmmm.....I see,
So how do we know that the Callback Auditions are week ending 30th?

bb12 14-03-2012 08:25 AM

Do they ring you on home phone aswell as mobile,cos ive broken my mobile ??

Lolalola 14-03-2012 09:44 AM

No body had a call so far? I'm really interested to hear when people do. Looking forward to watching this years bb

someotherguy 14-03-2012 01:20 PM

I don't think so, I assumed bb12 had, as they never answered whether their missed call on Friday was from BB, but as they have posted earlier today with no update then I don't think anyone here has had one.

This strikes me as odd, I've not seen anywhere on the net anyone say they've had CB's, usually at this point in the process the online BB communities are buzzing with audition talk.

task 14-03-2012 03:08 PM

I know that I didn't get called back last year because I attended the open audition but this year I was fast tracked but I'm not sure how many people were actually fast tracked this year because there were different slots for different people.

Will EVERYONE who got fast tracked this year get a call back?

And also, is there another audition stage? and do you now where it will be please?

The vital thing no matter if you have asperger or not is to stand out and be unique and have confidence. I had 2 or 3 things that I could do that probably no one else in the room was capable of and were entertaining. Also you need to have a great personality and look differently to others in the way you dress. And then obviously you need to be in a group where you know you have the more interesting story.

Some people were just talking about the size of their breasts and how they can be a good housemate because they are a social and bubbly person. Producers don't care about that, they are trying to extract the most interesting points.

Just be honest,

The reason I got selected was probably because of the following reasons:

I can beatbox, play piano, bend my finger all the way back, i had sex with a 42 year old woman even though im 19, i have asperger, i have a family attachment disorder, an eating disorder, i'm spontaneous, very flirty and easy to get. I'm a very sexually active guy who doesn't care about how I look. I'm not the skinniest dude ever I'm a bit overweight but I don't care. I am very confident and attractive. I find it difficult to make friend and would use the house as a means of making friends and not to become famous or have money.

You need to have a selling point and you need **** loads of things to talk about in a minute, I know quite a few were saying 'ummm' and pausing alot and it was generally just boring. Another thing was the producers were asking people to ask them questions at the end. The whole point of that was to see if anyone had the guts to rip the **** out of them and make them look stupid so yes I may have got chosen because of asking humiliating questions.

No callbacks just yet!
