There was a 33 year old in my group session, for what it's worth (and two 19 year olds were the youngest).

Though he wasn't the kind of older housemate I'd want.

someotherguy 04-04-2012 04:26 PM

Mm and 33 isnt even that old. They're definitely keeping the younger dynamic. I won't complain though, after all it IS better...

Rosy 04-04-2012 05:28 PM

They were all young in my group too from 19 to 20's !!!
What ever happened to getting a good mix of people?
What sort of people were in your groups, attractives or gay or argumentative or was it a mix?
They told us at the callback that if successful they would let us know about 2 weeks before the show and that if we told anyone about us getting this far then we would be disqualified.

someotherguy 04-04-2012 06:17 PM

there were no over the top gays and no fake boobs. I have been pleasantly surprised by this every time I've been involved with BB casting.

Nobody was argumentative. Everyone was really happy and polite and vanilla and plain boring. Except for me. I was a dick.

Thats interesting news about 2 weeks before the show. I know a guy who was on last years BB and he heard a LOT sooner than that though..

Ah......,we definately were not in the same group then (not that I have fake boobs) as there was at least one of the above mentioned in mine.
I wonder how many auditions they had over how many days?
Glad you were a 'Dick' at least you'd have stood out from the crowd.
Wonder when the oldies got their auditions, maybe on the Friday or maybe they haven't sorted them out yet ?!?!? they may be sorting the 'young uns' first and waiting to do call backs on the older housemates, what with your Physco test not being until the 11th and they said to us that BB is starting the end of May begining of June.

someotherguy 04-04-2012 07:50 PM

they won't do separate ones for 'oldies'. They would have integrated any who got through in with everybody else! We were told sometime in May or June so thats probably right! There will be some more final selections after the psychologists, so just sit tight. I can't relax about it though either lol.

:puzzled: :puzzled: IF you have got through posting on here can mess up your chance of getting on the show FYI. :puzzled: :puzzled:

Exactly Alec! Why, if you've gotten so far in the Audition process, ruin your chances at becoming a Housemate in June by posting on a Forum. To be honest, everyone who says your through to the selection thing if your telling the truth, if producers read these forums your all obviously not going to get chosen. Your not trustworthy of keeping it quiet.

its fine to post on here or anywhere else,its not like it was years ago,
unless you give out your name and address,
there is no where near the interest from the media that there was years ago,

Still, it's a bit stupid.

If I could buy a place in the house, I'd be first in line, even if the price tag was £10K :joker:

someotherguy 04-04-2012 09:01 PM

Wow, the media really have a friggin ton of leads on my identity. I can see the headlines now.

Some other guy set for big brother.

Smell the newspaper buyrates.

Jordan. 04-04-2012 09:01 PM

It's not like they can find out who it is posting unless that member gives our their personal info (which none have done)

thesheriff443 04-04-2012 09:07 PM

iv been in with producers when someone asked about posting on forums,
they said it was ok

Jarrod 04-04-2012 09:07 PM

:suspect Hmm..

this forum always makes me smile,
there is always someone that knows a little bit more than you think!

Utah 05-04-2012 11:10 AM

Yes they can check you via an I.P address locator.

Rosy 05-04-2012 12:17 PM

What on earth is one of those ?

Utah 05-04-2012 07:40 PM

Computer thingy that can check who you are Rosy. You can use a proxy to cover but that would alert Producers to something fishy.

Rosy 07-04-2012 12:36 AM

Can't see them going to all that trouble though :)

Utah 07-04-2012 04:52 PM

Producers would not but junior runners would...

Kanoka 11-04-2012 02:44 PM

Hey guys what happens after the psychological test??

BBDodge 11-04-2012 04:05 PM

I guess those who are reasonably sane go onto a shortlist from which 14 names are picked for launch night with others held in reserve.

Some will go into the house for the test run, and may or may not end up in the actual show.

Just for your own reference, I have my psych tests on April 11th, so don't panic if you havn't heard anything in a few weeks, but if you do hear anything would you be so kind as to let me know? To put me out of my own misery? :)

So someotherguy how was your psych test?? What did they ask?
