Yeah, there was a morning session, mid-morning and afternoon, each session about 3 hours each.

i.e. 150 people in the London callback stages, like in BB9. Probably max 50 at the psychologist/psychiatrist, based on previous years (unless they've increased it - I don't know as much about BB11, but they must have had all 81 go through the psych stage, but I can't believe they've done so many this year).

oh and just for some comfort, i knew someone in a previous series and they went to the phys stage but didnt get told they were in bb till 3 weeks before the show started! they had 5 days to pack and then they went to belgium and went into hiding!
Which series? I've never heard of applicants getting no contact after the psych stage if they've gotten on - though I know some people only got phone interviews as opposed to in person visits (I think they stopped doing the "hanging out with you and your friends" thing as a standard part of the process after BB8?)

I really doubt the reason for you not getting through has anything to do with your disability though; there are lots of factors that impact what they are looking for in the dynamic of the house. Look at how many brilliant housemates appeared to be in the line-up for BB11, but we ended up with some of the seemingly meh ones like Rachel or Jo or Laura.
