Rosy they havn't started callbacks yet, they usually start 2 weeks after all the auditions round up. They've got a lot of cuts to make so don't sweat it, if you havn't heard by thursday/friday next week then worry.

I'm almost guaranteed to get a callback, I'll tell you when I do so you all know the timeframe.

And the callbacks are staggered based on the day of your callback date, not your interview date (i.e. even if you interviewed at the start of Feb, you might not here back until the very end if your callback is on the last Friday).

The 'win a place at the BB final auditions' competition's date is on Friday 30th March - I'd assume that's the last day of auditions, as last year they only lasted for a week, so I would have guessed callbacks will be very very soon, as they need to give you enough to time to get your CRB check started.

I doubt they'd use any 'random camera' footage - that'll just be for Jamie East's show about the auditionees. The producer interviews/Diary Room footage is catalogued with the questionnaires - I'm assuming they throw out certain people right away, automatically put some through to the next round and have some very long debates about the others!

Bit confident aren't you lol? I made the final shortlist in 2010 and was also guinea pig housemate that year. Last year though I didn't even make it past the diary room stage. What they want changes every year buddy.

Fair point, though I was a guinea pig for the Celeb BB that has just gone. As you didnt make the 2010 series after being a guinea pig, I'm not surprised you didn't do well last year. Thats why if I don't make the house this year, the series immediately following my guinea pig run, I'll accept that its not to be and won't apply again.

I'm very confident as I knew during and after the dry run that I was the stand out house mate. I was called into the diary room at least 4 times more than any other HM and I just sort of knew I'd done enough. One of the top producers confirmed this to me as he approached me at the recent auditions and told me everyone was really glad to see me back and they all enjoyed me the most.

Obviously that doesn't mean I'll make it, but its the reason I'm confident.

There are more reasons but I won't discuss. Excited for next week, if its not to be its not to be. I just have a feeling.

They're not going to do them all on the same day anyway?

If you don't hear anything by Friday afternoon, just prepare to get very drunk in the evening to forget all about it

You must have people in the know on the inside lol
So they won't have rung everyone until the end of the week then?

Well, that's based on the assumption:
- there will be around 150-200 people to callback (varies year-on-year)
- audition will be the week ending the 30th and I would expect them to give at least a week's notice

When I applied last year mine was several days before some other legitimate people on here had theirs, so I know they won't be all at once. But I don't know when the callbacks started, so they might already be over?

Hmmm.....I see,
So how do we know that the Callback Auditions are week ending 30th?

How soon after your diary room did they call you back last time?
