Okay, pretty much ALL of the members of this forum say they are going to audition for Big Brother. My question is... why? I've decided to compile a list of why you should absolutely NOT want to enter the Big Brother house.

1]] The BB housemates are NOT liked. They are HATED. Even the most popular (which it is very unlikely you'd be) are hated by over 50% of the public. People don't like them, get it!? YOU WILL NOT BE LOVED.

2]] The BB housemates are NOT that famous. You may be famous among a select few fanatics (most people don't watch the show religiously or even know everyone's names - this forum hosts the few people who love it) for a VERY short amount of time but your fame will fade very quickly, and your life will be even more depressing once you've had that taste of what could've been.

3]] Being filmed all the time will literally make you go insane. It's not like being filmed for 12 hours then going to sleep. There are cameras everywhere, ALL the time, including when you shower, use the toilet, or sleep. After 12 hours in public I start to go a bit crazy in the head (even with access to a private restroom). That's about the limit I can go with no break for privacy. 94 days with no privacy at all -- I don't even want to think about what that would be like. This may be more of an issue for me than for others though, but I still think most people would hate being filmed all the time. That's why the celebrity versions don't have cameras in the wash room. Ever been in a public place when you notice some creepy guy has a camera pointed at you and is following you around with it? Remember how uncomfortable it made you feel? Well, get ready for multiple cameras pointing at you and capturing your likeness at all times from different angles when you're on BB.

4]] Life in the BB house is SUPER boring! Think about it. A task once a week, and the rest of the time there's nothing to do but talk to the same people day in and day out. By the end of two weeks of that you'll know everything about everyone and will have nothing more to talk about. Soooo boring!

In fact, I recommend that before you even think about going in the BB house, try just spending one day, 24 hours:
a) with a camera pointed at you 24/7, broadcasting live to the Internet, including when you do your business and such. If this doesn't sound too appealing, and in fact makes you self-concious, good luck dealing with millions of people being able to see you at all times.
b) Don't use TV or Internet that day. The BB house doesn't have these things. No books, electronics, nothing. See how fast that gets old.
At the end of the day, consider that on BB you will need to spend up to 94x that amount of time doing just that.

Wow, that was exhausting, but I really felt it needed to be said. To all you wannabes out there: PLEASE heed this warning!
