Big Brother Australia 2008 [That is all.]

WARNING: This topic contains major spoilers!

Once the show airs in Aussie, the show will be openly be discussed here without spoiler tags.

I thought it was time for the new thread for the upcoming series, seeing as series eight is only, really, only around the corner.

This year BB is getting a revamp. Gretel is gone, and Kyal & Jackie O have been shipped in to take over. After they made a massive mistake last year - Uncut is back for 2008.

The online auditions are now over, and the hopefuls have been notified.

Big Brother Australia - Monday, 28th April!

Here are some of the ads for the auditions...

Looking forward to the new format

I just can't wait for this new series, it was the perfect time to do a makeover, I think it can be worse than the last 2 series.

I really hope they can make it better. BB7 wasn't as good as the hype suggested.

I'm very excited for the new series. :tongue:

With big brother usa on the way as well it looks like a good year for Big Brother.

I can't wait for the adverts to start airing.

Has the length been cut down? 14 weeks is way too long.

Definitely a good idea cutting the length if they want it to work.

Poor Gretel though.

14 weeks was to long, 12 is just perfect.
And I think Gretel needed to go, she became a waste of space.

I do think poor Gretal, as she did help make it a sucess but I think as time went by she started to lose the plot.

I think she started to lose her eyesight - she couldn't keep up with what was being shown on her autocue.

Anyway, I despise Gretel, but anything is better then dumb and dumber taking over for series 8.

Arcticle about the next stage of auditions on BBBA.

Rumours of a late march starts look true from this

Quote:

Behind Big Brother has learnt that the next stage of auditions are ready to begin, with potential housemates receiving e-mails asking them to attend group auditions in their capital city.

The e-mail congratulates auditionees for making it through to the next round, and asks them to make their way to a specific venue at 7:30am. Auditionees must RSVP to an generic e-mail address to confirm their attendance.

The e-mail then goes into more detail about the audition process, and confirms earlier rumours about the starting date for this year’s Big Brother season.

* You will need to make yourself available for the entire day.

* You must arrive and attend alone.

* No cameras or sound recording is permitted.

* You will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement on the day.

* You will also be required to sign a release form consenting to being filmed during the auditions, as well as a Criminal History Check application form.

* No dress requirements – come as you are, but be aware that the audition day will involve some physical activity.

* You MUST BRING THE ORIGINAL AND A recognisable photocopy of EITHER your driver’s licence or passport.

* It is your own responsibility to make your way to and from the audition. It is also your responsibility to cover all costs involved in attending the audition.

* A light lunch, tea and coffee will be available on the day.

* If you are eventually selected to be a Big Brother housemate, you must be available from late March to mid August 2008.

As always, confidentiality is a must with auditions and the e-mail states this clearly:

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

* Do not speak to the other applicants before or after the auditions. Do not attempt to contact any other applicant at any time after the auditions. Anyone found swapping phone numbers will automatically be disqualified.

* All applicants must understand that from this moment on you may not discuss any details regarding your participation in the Housemate selection process with anyone - work colleagues, friends and family or press. There are no exceptions unless expressly permitted in writing by the producers. (whoops!)

* This includes all previous involvement and future participation.

* Any applicant found to be in breach of these rules will be instantly disqualified from either entering or staying in the House.

* You should also immediately alert the producers if anyone approaches you regarding your participation in Big Brother.

They are radio double act Kyle and Jackie O. They present a popular morning radio show on 2FM. Kyle is also a judge on Australian Idol and he brifley entered the house last year to judge the housemates music video task.

thanks i think its gonna be intresting seeing two hosts

With it being a late march start.

We bound to see the ads pop up soon :thumbs2:

Is it confirmed for late March?

Quote:

Not really, but it's most likely to be due to the writer's strike.

I hope they made huge efforts this year cause if it flops then it's the end of the end for BBAU.

On the aplication form be free for late march.

But that could also mean lockdown. :puzzled:

"* If you are eventually selected to be a Big Brother housemate, you must be available from late March to mid August 2008."

I'm expecting a early-April launch, as the housemate are never in lockdown for very long. Less then a week I think.

Also, somebody posted over at BBBA that the house is still there and has been completely gutted.

So the house had a major makeover ? Sounds good, it's a good start for a fresh new series (and format please)
