Application adverts everywhere...
 

Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and posters apparently dotted around universities, etc....
This is a really good sign and might be an indication of why they’ve chosen the deadline they have (term dates I guess?)
Actually impressed. Same amount of promo for the actual series and then we’re talking

unless they've had literally no one apply and they are getting desperate now? :think:

This promo is great, I believe this civilian series will be great

I got an email off my college telling us all to apply

Go for it. I'll support you

Naw thank you :love: But I can't until next year. I'll apply then though
You should apply :D

The amount Emma mentioned it and all the application adverts they did between breaks in the run up to the final, this is probably more likely :laugh:

hopefully this means they're looking for actual civilians instead of EOTB "celebrities" :clap1:

I'll do it

Not really ideal for uni students though is it. Term time is September til June so the old summer dates would've been fine but these new dates of August onwards don't really fit into education schedules.

Hmm I never thought of September, sort of used to thinking it ends in July/Aug now so I didn’t think of that, good point.

c5's cost cutting measures to reduce the season to two weeks?

Big Brother: Year of the Uni Drop-Outs?

They should just put a bunch of college protesters in there. Easy controversy and cheap drama.

That's actually kind of good, them forcing people to actually audition than recruiting them...

That's doubtful as they've basically just cast from other reality shows/tabloids in the last few series!

Not uni lecturers telling you to go on BB as a back up option if you fail your exams

:joker::joker::joker:

Uni students will be in school they literally can't go into the house...it's either a cheap way of promoting the upcoming series so people see it's coming back or they are desperate for applicants.

Yeah, we've never had uni students in Big Brother before....

The start date has supposedly been pushed back to July/August though, and first semesters usually start in September, so it would clash unfortunately.

A lot of unis start as late as October.

And we've had several people on the show who've pushed their studies back a term.

I find it mad how people are willing to risk their uni degree just to go on Big Brother :laugh:

I know. Didn't someone drop out of their course altogether (I want to say BB16?) and weren't guaranteed a place to go back to when they were ready? :worry:

Adjoa? She would have missed her law exams if she wasn't first boot :joker:
