Here for Omarosa doing ours :clap1:

She should’ve been on the uk one I rly don’t like bbus hnggg

I think Pete BB7 was meant to be in BB5 (He definitely auditioned and I remember watching a documentary on BB where it was referred to but I can't remember if they just mentioned him auditioning or if he was actually selected then backed out for whatever reason)

Katie Hopkins was in the guinea pig trial of BB1 (imagine if she'd been selected for the main cast... Nasty Nick hew)

BB10 Siavash/Marcus were meant to go on an early series, I just can't remember which one was it.

Just found out that apparently Becky Jane from last year was meant to go in with a female colleague and not Keiron, but the producers made her change or something

Raph auditioned for BB16 and BB17, didn't he?

There was a wheelchair guy for BB7 that got pulled out last minute, hence the ramps.

Phew

Him and Joel Both Auditioned together for 16 didn't they? Who would have thought they would both be runners up?

she would have been brilliant :bawling:

rip legend </3

I think he actually made it far enough to be in a waiting room with Joel or something along those lines, since Raph mentioned he met him during the audition process. They probably would've both filled the same role of mild mannered young adults with possibly slight deceptiveness but the producers thought Joel was a more suitable choice for that

Actually CBB19 could've originally had the most over the top, craziest cast of any CBB. We nearly did get Tiffany, Frenchy, Perez and Jasmine Lennard but Tiffany/Frenchy were busy with other shows, Perez asked for too much funny and Jasmine Lennard made racist tweets. Considering how all 4 of these people got obvious replacement housemates who aren't nearly as good (Calum, Coleen, Jasmine Waltz, James Jordan) it means we potentially could've had an all star line up of

Jedward
Nicola
Speidi
Austin
Tiffany
Frenchy
Perez
Jasmine Lennard

TRAGIC that we almost got the CBB version of BB6</3

Well I'm glad we didn't get Frenchy, Perez or Jasmine L :joker:

thank god that ho left

do you think they had a few trans girls up their sleeves incase Nadia dropped out? They did milk the whole thing for what it was worth

Katie CUNTkins was also almost in CBB19 but the only thing stopping her was that she wanted to watch Trump's inauguration instead. :skull:

Lauren Socha quit CBB14 the night before

Both Dog and Beth were denied a visa

Rosanna Davison quit before entering

Sid Owen changed his mind

Neil McDermott and Jay Camerilli quit CBB8 the day before launch and were replaced by Bobby and Lucien

TRAGIC that two bigger names were replaced by two nobodies that are among the worst housemates ever :skull:

Imagine being replaced by Bobby Sabel

I've heard recently that Lorna Bliss (the woman who auditioned in that body stocking on the X-Factor) was due to take part in BB18UK last year, but was accidently leaked to the press and so was replaced. I don't think it was revealed who replaced her, but I assume it was Simone considering both were previous X-Factor rejects and from 2015 onwards, they've always had one in the season.

:joker:

This thread is absolutely fascinating! Love reading stories like these...
Jamie East revealed in his Reality Check podcast recently that Bobby Brown was waiting in the dressing room before CBB8 but wasn't allowed to go in at the very last minute.

Also that OJ Simpson was due to enter CBB5 but someone at Channel 4 or Endemol got cold feet about letting him in.

Charlotte and Mandy auditioned for BB13 as seen in the BB13 auditions episode before launch.
