I want to audition for Big Brother, and I am perfectly aware of the dangers - I do not want to enter Big Brother to be famous, as no one really gets famous out of it anyway, and I do not want fame.
I want to enter the house so I could see how I react as a person and to hopefully mature and see how I act in different situations. Do you remember Glyn off BB7? He grew so much, from a young boy to an adult. I'd like to see what happens to me, as I think Big Brother is a fascinating social experiment.

Okay, okay, these are good points.

And how do you know being filmed all the time will make someone go insane? You don't know how a person would act in a situation, and you can't tell how they would react.

After about 12 hours in public, I start to go a bit insane. I start fantasizing about how nice it would be to have complete privacy where no one could see me. It's all I think about. I can't think straight. Everything keeps coming at me. I get paranoid. Granted, you may react differently, but please follow said instructions above to test yourself before you audition just to make sure. If you get self-concious after 24 hours, surely 94 days would be a bit much.

I am also aware that it can be boring - remember Lesley off BB8? She left because she was bored, but she still managed to progress as a person - she even wrote a book on her experience, albeit a negative one, it is an experience she can remember for the rest of her life.

What? Lesley wrote a whole book about her SIX days in the house!? I'm gonna have to look this up.

Anyway, I decided to test myself on this a few days ago. I sat in a room with no simulation to see how long I could do it. I set a timer outside the room that I didn't allow myself to look at. For awhile I enjoyed thinking, but soon I became more and more bored. I finally couldn't stand it anymore. I started having strange, even scary thoughts. I left the room and found that I'd only been in there about 7 hours! 94 days of that and I don't even want to think about the state I'd be in.

I am not a wannabe, either. I would probably never do a shoot in Nuts (I think my stomach already thinks that), I would not have sex in the Big Brother house, and the only Magazine I would do an interview with is Heat (well, I am an addict). I would probably go back to my normal life, with some experiences to share with my friends outside of the house.
I say probably, because I just don't know how I WOULD act, that's why I want to go in - I want to learn more about myself and progress as a person.
You should not rant at the "wannabe's" on here, every one is entitled to their own opinion and life, without being told what to do by someone else. If someone wants to go into the house for the "wrong" reasons, then let them.

Oh, when I said "wannabe" I didn't mean it as condescending. I just meant "wannabe housemate" as in someone who wants to be a housemate.
