The BB9 Auditions Thread (Official info)
 

Want to Be in next year's Big Brother?

The Big Brother auditions are coming to a city near to you and earlier than ever before. If you want to be a Housemate throughout the summer of 2008, you need to go to an open audition in one of the following cities:

Glasgow

Belfast

Birmingham

Cardiff

Dublin

London

Manchester

Newcastle

The Big Brother open audtions will take place on weekends, and will start in the first city on Saturday 24th November 2007, at approximately 9am - details of each audition date and exact location will be announced on this website and on Channel 4, shortly.

Anyone who will be over 18 in the summer of 2008, is eligible to audition. You will need to bring some form of photo ID as proof of your age and identity.

It is usually a long day at auditions so Big Brother urges you to wear something warm, as you may be stood outside for a number of hours - if you are freezing cold this may affect your ability to impress the Producers. If you have a special outfit you want to wear to make an impact, you can always change into it when you get near the front of the queue and are about to audition.

Given the vast amount of people who turn up to audition, Big Brother cannot provide refreshments for everyone, so please bring your own food and non-alchoholic drinks to consume throughout the day.

If you have any special requirements (such as wheelchair access or a signer), Big Brother will be setting up a phone number for access enquiries, details of which will shortly be published on this site.

Big Brother will announce more detailed information regarding auditions at channel4.com/bigbrother over the next few weeks.

Big Brother will get back to you...

WOO!
I'm auditioning, just for the sheer experience of even the auditions!

Wow thats early!

Wooo! Go Lauren!

What if you get through? :laugh:

Then I panic cos I have a degree to complete haha.

Also, I'm not gonna act up - I'm actually just gonna be myself!

Good on ya!

Good luck :wink:

lauran say what your going to say and stuff

we need to get TiBB people to audition

Yeah would be mint if quite a few people from here auditioned!!

ok im going to make a post now in this part of the fourm

read when i have made it

I'm glad they're starting in November, shows they're serious about making BB9 the best ever!

Maybe if it starts in November, there is a link with what will happen in January...

If I get in I'm gonna rely on this forum to back me, hahaha!
In turn I'll promote the site.

Deal? *shifty eyes*

Haha!!!
Just randomly put it into conversation on the show!

I'm still surprised the auditions have started so early :S

Possibly! They could select their 'experimental' BB contestants from the same pool.

I'm glad they're doing lots of pre-planning this year!

I don't think it means they're trying to make a better BB9, as earlier auditions won't mean that. I think they're doing them early because they dont have CBB to worry about. Unless BB9 is that E4 big brother they're doing lol.

Its defo a very good sign.

I have a feeling BB8 was holding the fort until the BB-rebirth next year.

i am in manchester!!!!!!!:colour::elephant:

Woop, I'll be popping along to the Newcastle auditions =D

this is good i think there going to make BB9 the best ever!!:cheer2:cant wait!!

All they need to do now is sack executive producer Rebecca De Young, who coincedentally was also the editor of reality TV turkey Celebrity Love Island...

...who also worked on BB3 and BB5. Two of the best BB's ever (according to other people).

They have done it so they dont have to rush through (like this year)

Wooo, Birmingham Audition here I come!

Im going to audition in the Manchester auditions :bigsmile:. Wish me good luck everyone :bigsmile:. I will represent Tibb also.

im going to newcastle but im not 18 till april 15th can i still audition because thats what it sounds like on that information above... i hope sooo!!!

I might audition for a laugh. I think I could be a good BB housemate. :laugh: My mate auditioned for this year's BB.

Can I just ask the mods/admins to move this thread to the BB9 forum please?

Thanks!

(And maybe pin it so we have one place to talk about auditions instead of a multitude of threads... :)

Ooh, that was quick! Thanks!

I think the reason behind the earlier auditions is so that the producers have alot more flexibility on making the audition process tougher so that we don't see housemates like Susie (BB7) and Jonty (BB8).

I thought Jonty was a great housemate!

i thought jonty was a great housemate aswell

maybe the reason for early auditions is to c what is required in the new house like wheelchair access etc as there has been rumours for a few years about a wheelchair HM but i dont think any of the recent ones would have been accessible.

Audition
 

hi there i am very interesred in signing upfor big brother 9 as i have yet to see a wheelchair user on it, of which i am. The closest one to me would be london. any idea when the auditions will take place in london and who will i have to inform for wheelchair accesss? .

I fink u should apply defo. [sorry cant stop saying that since the twins lol] Having a wheelchair user would be a good idea i fink cos non able body people should have as much chance to go on as people who are able bodied.

I would audition, but I'm only 13. lol

Good luck to anyone who is!

I find it tempting haha, but I'd rather not jeopardise my A Levels :tongue:

Yes.

You have to be 18 in the summer of 2008. April isn't summer.

Good luck! :thumbs:

the auditions are next month!!!!! :spin:

Just to let people know that ive just seen the new BB auditions advert

OMG realy yay!!somone probably will youtube it!
