Who's idea was it to use black text on a black background...

I am not at work Friday 10th June.. I could go!

Doubt it though. I will be too.. CHICKEN.

To the ones who applied online. Including myself. Watch out for emails or phone calls. You could be asked to jump to round 2 if they are impressed with your online application!

I reckon if you are there at 5pm you could still get in?? Or not. Mmm.. there will be plenty of queues. Only way to avoid them is arriving no later than 6am :S

I remember last year.. at about 1pm it kind of settled down in the queing. I reckon a lot more people will be going to London though.

I am also shocked they are only doing auditions at Manchester and London!! They should have spread it out a bit.

If you are even doubting about auditioning.. GO!! Yes.. it's a long day but worth it. lol

You should at least take a bit of food and drink in your bag. I got hungry. lol

Also.. TAKE PHOTO ID!!

So you either have to travel to London or Manchester? What about everyone in Scotland, Wales and the South West of England?

King Gizzard · 19-05-2011, 12:52 AM

If Channel 5 are lazy enough to only hold 2 audition venues it doesn't boast well for the first series they are doing.

They expect the wannabies to travel. A train ticket nowadays costs a bomb though! You may not even guarantee a train ride back home if you stay through all the rides. Probably won't be out until 11pm!!

Might be good to take your car I suppose. I think it's good the auditions are at football stadiums! They are not too central are they? In Manchester last year I was lost and didn't know where the G Mex place was. I went to the place where auditions took place the year before. Met someone there who was auditioning and followed him! lol

Travel to either location from the SW is very expensive and the audition process, if successful, will mean several trips to and from over a course of a few weeks. I'm willing to travel but that will be too expensive for me and I'm sure a lot of others from down these parts.

Yeah it will be expensive. But it's a risk everyone will have to take. I suppose everyone will be waiting to get a golden ticket from the paper. However it will be like BB7. About 20 people get the golden ticket. (They won't have to do as many trips like the auditionees) and then on a night they are all in the crowd.. but the BB producers will just pick the best one anyway. Personally the 20 should be put up online. And the public pick like 1, 2, or 3 of them to go in!!

You could get a callback.. where you will jump to the 2nd round

and avoid a bit of queing. 3/4 hours of average queing infact.. just to get through the 1st round to the 2nd!

I'm not taking that risk. I cannot afford to. I'm a fan of BB but I'm not that desperate to go for it. I imagine those that are desperate though will be travelling the journey. Wonderful, a house full of absolutely desperate people, a nice refreshing change to BB.
