??

about two weeks after the last audition date!

did you upload an audition to youtoob aswell?

yeah i auditioned and i got as far as the mock diary room session with big brother??

post the link to your yt audition ah\

Out of curiosity was this on the monday after the auditions like previous years its normally the monday after the weekend auditions

I too got through to the Mock Diary room but it was on the day of the Audition after being invited by BB on the Friday before the open audition

Callbacks
 

whos had a callback from big brother yet ??

This woman: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/tv-film-...brother-747676

that video is just for marketing purposes, they don't actually call you back if its a no, definitely not 48 hours later, the 'big brother' voice in this video is Caroline Davies, shes one of the most senior producers, lovely lady.

That's right someotherguy as they told me that I'd get a call if successful but wouldn't hear anything if unsuccessful.

Callbacks - does anyone know if they or a mate has had a callback yet?
 

After attending the Big Brother Auditions in Manchester I never made it through to the mock diary room.....just wondered if anyone else had been there and heard anything yet or had a mate who had had a callback (I know that they aren't allowed to say but we can keep a secret) ;)

The Callbacks Start Next Week Right ??
 

Its usually 2 weeks after the auditions have finished,so we should get callbacks next week right ??

The last stage is on the 30th so probably.

How do you know this ???

He knows everything. So believe him.

No......I made it to the Mock Diary Room and so far nothing.

Was told it could be next day, 2 weeks or even when the programme was on air though that's unlikely I would have thought as according to someone else they said there is a final shortlist audition.

If I was successful I'd have thought I'd have heard by now though and starting to think they don't want me :(

How do the Producers decide who to Callback???
 

Do you think that they watch ALL the Mock Diary Room Interviews and all their other filming footage such as the random camera walking round asking questions and the 2nd filmed group interviews and shortlist people from that?

Does anyone know the process???

Depends. What was your diary interview like?

As in what did they ask? We're you asked any specific questions at the end?

Rosy they havn't started callbacks yet, they usually start 2 weeks after all the auditions round up. They've got a lot of cuts to make so don't sweat it, if you havn't heard by thursday/friday next week then worry.

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

And the callbacks are staggered based on the day of your callback date, not your interview date (i.e. even if you interviewed at the start of Feb, you might not here back until the very end if your callback is on the last Friday).

The 'win a place at the BB final auditions' competition's date is on Friday 30th March - I'd assume that's the last day of auditions, as last year they only lasted for a week, so I would have guessed callbacks will be very very soon, as they need to give you enough to time to get your CRB check started.

I doubt they'd use any 'random camera' footage - that'll just be for Jamie East's show about the auditionees. The producer interviews/Diary Room footage is catalogued with the questionnaires - I'm assuming they throw out certain people right away, automatically put some through to the next round and have some very long debates about the others!

Bit confident aren't you lol? I made the final shortlist in 2010 and was also guinea pig housemate that year. Last year though I didn't even make it past the diary room stage. What they want changes every year buddy.

WOW! Someotherguy,

Thanks for your info, you know your stuff especially having already 'sort of' experienced being in the BB House. What was the dummy run team like, a mixed bunch like the producers are promising this year??? How old are you btw, 20's, 30's, 40's???

Do you think that they will be kind enough to let you know either way as in if it's a no they will ring you too, as the rest of us were told they'd only ring if it's to go on to the next stage.

Why do you feel so positive, have they sort of hinted that they would like you in this time - they obviously regretted not putting you in last year.

Fair point, though I was a guinea pig for the Celeb BB that has just gone. As you didnt make the 2010 series after being a guinea pig, I'm not surprised you didn't do well last year. Thats why if I don't make the house this year, the series immediately following my guinea pig run, I'll accept that its not to be and won't apply again.

I'm very confident as I knew during and after the dry run that I was the stand out house mate. I was called into the diary room at least 4 times more than any other HM and I just sort of knew I'd done enough. One of the top producers confirmed this to me as he approached me at the recent auditions and told me everyone was really glad to see me back and they all enjoyed me the most.

Obviously that doesn't mean I'll make it, but its the reason I'm confident.

There are more reasons but I won't discuss. Excited for next week, if its not to be its not to be. I just have a feeling.

Best of Luck someotherguy x can't wait to watch you ;)

Got a call from an unknown number!!!
 

i got a call from an unknown number but my battery died so i couldnt pick up in time :( could it have been BB ??

Unless it was anyone on this forum who phoned you, I doubt they'd know.

yes it was definitely big brother

Yeah, the calls are going out today .....

it was me sry

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!!

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!

I have aspergers aswell and never made it ti the diary room stage this year or last year what did you do to get that far

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.

They will ring back, don't worry about missing it!

Have you heard anything yet someotherguy???

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

How soon after your diary room did they call you back last time?
