The first series was a big success and regularly beat Big Brother, and dented the ratings for BB6 to the lowest until BB8.

Rebecca De Young was a success on BB3, BB5 and CBB3 but somehow lost her way. Anyway, there is a different production team each year.

Celebrity Love Island is widely regarded as a reality TV turkey - and anyone that oversaw the flop that was BB8 never deserves to produce another Big Brother :wink:

Wow I forgot about this. I can't belive the auditions have started now !! :bouncy:

Heya guys, first time poster here :tongue:
My friend is going to audition in Birmingham next week (I'm not becuase I'd only be 18 about 5 weeks into BB9, my friend is already 18), I just would like some questions answering:

1. There are 2 dates advertised for the Birmingham auditions, can my friend come on the Sunday or is that when the second round of auditions are or something similar? It's just I'd really like to tag along and give my friend some support but I have work on the Saturday.

Next question is only if we can both go Sunday:

2. We're planning to camp overnight, would this be allowed or would we have to find a hotel or come very early Sunday?

Cheers for any help, hope to see some of you guys there :D

Hey SuperNapalm, welcome to TiBB. In response to your questions:

1. I think the callbacks/second rounds start after all the auditions have taken place, so I'm quite certain that it is two days of auditions.

2. I think you can camp overnight but I'm not sure.

Sorry I can't be more of a help :)

Just to let everyone know, I'm 100% definitely doing the auditions this year. :whistle: Wish me luck.

im well going me, good luck laurenx

I don't know whether to go to the London auditions or not.

If you're going to Newcastle ones I'll see you there, ha.

lol i take it you wouldnt audition then lol!

What ever gives you that impression :whistle:

Only the second series was regarded as one. Series 1 regularly drew in 5-6m per night.

I love that audiotn video that you have posted in the news, be great if more unseen footage is released!

yeah itll be fab!

you should definetly go.the worst that can happen is you dont get through.
