Hi,

Thanks for contacting us about the Big Brother Auditions 2012.

Our open auditions are over for this year. We met thousands of great people and appreciate the time that everyone took to come down and meet us.

Don’t forget to watch the new series this summer and if you have been successful this year, Big Brother will get back to you!

Big Brother

Yeah I did

[task]

If you didn't get a call this morning you haven't been selected.

How do you know this and on what basis???

I got fast tracked and didn't get that email today - they have my email address as they sent confirmation of my audition to it. I also had a missed blocked call however I'm sure that was probably someone trying to do a PPI claim or something?
Maybe I'll get the email tomorrow?

Also a similar message is on the Official Big Brother website so are you quoting that or has this been sent to private email addresses???

Trust me rosy, you haven't been selected. Try again next year.

congrats task and im gonna presume manwholaughs has gone for it again and not mentioned it

the next stage of the process is the best bit IMO so enjoy it it's awesome.

I hereby retire from bigbrother auditions, being a guinea pig was a massive achievement and more than 99% of auditionees will ever experience so I am contented with where I got in the end!

Congrats to all who have got a callback!

Everyone knows you can't talk about the audition process online

Was expecting you of all people to have had one, so sorry if you hadn't (or are covering it up because you're so close to getting in the house ) - if anything, it's the best argument that callbacks haven't finished. (logically, I would have assumed they have, based on the timing of that email yesterday & the timing of the callbacks - though I don't know how 'task' could say so confidently after being fairly confused about the whole process the day earlier).

You've probably gone further than I'll get anyway - and given how much Aaron & the others are bitching about the BB12 experience on Twitter, I'm not sure if getting in is as great as it seems.

I overheard that at Glasgow anyone not hearing after a fortnight should consider themselves chopped. Oh well, I had a great day out!

You'll hear based on which day your callback is, not when you actually auditioned - the next stage will mix people from all the different venues and the people who are back on the Monday will hear before those who have their next stage later in the week, regardless of when you auditioned

You are wrong task.......been selected and the London Audition isn't on 30th either but earlier.....can't say any more other than they phoned me this morning, anyone else still wiating to hear, don't give up yet, they may be ringing you too x

There's a whole week of them (and multiple ones on the same day) so there is one on the 30th.

But congratulations! You said you had a missed call from them on the Friday though so they're probably just calling the last few people they couldn't get through to.

[Utah]

Hard one to call, they may have picked 100 or so for the final stages but with effectively only a few weeks to sift the auditionees (let's face it Quarantine must start at the end of the first week in May) they are cutting it close. I overheard that at Glasgow anyone not hearing after a fortnight should consider themselves chopped. Oh well, I had a great day out!

[someotherguy]

nope, genuinely didn't get a callback! best of luck, do keep me updated via PM or whatever.

Well regarding it not being great, I can testify to the fact that its VERY boring. By day 3 I was telling people that I couldn't hack it long-term. In retrospect, saying that with a microphone feed heading straight to the BB producers probably wasnt the best strategy. Ah well. I've had the experience, thats the main thing.

Best of luck!

[Utah]

One gives up anonymity (forever) by going into the House. My concern was that I'd be with some real ******wits. Good luck to all.

[someotherguy]

you wouldve been, the most recent guinea pig run was rife with them.

if anyone ends up with a geordie called andrew, youll hate his guts.

[Utah]

There was a Geordie, forgotten his first name, kept going on about his career in Radio. I put him under an A4 when I got back from Glasgow. Tea maker.

[Rosy]

Thanks TheManWhoLaughs,

Quite daunted by the next stage, it will be interesting who I'm going to be with as I'm sure there is probably more than just me in this stage.

I've got to bring something to talk about that may mean something to me?!?!? never done this type of thing before but I'm sure that it will be lots of fun as we are playing games or something too.

It will be interesting how many other people they contact this week as I think the missed call was a call centre as another blocked call rang back the next day trying to get me to reclaim PPI for a loan that I've never even had with the TSB!

I wonder if there is a mixed group of people in the interview/audition like they have promised.

They are paying my expenses so at least it won't cost me anything too if I don't get picked.

[Utah]

Great news Rosy, I got to that stage 2 years ago. It is a good day out. Don't be too whacky nor too quiet. Yes it is a mix (or was when I was there). Make the most of Endemol paying for you!!

Lol....yes I will, though it's only a 2nd class train fare at the moment, no expences for lost day of work or hotel unfortunatly.

[Kizzy]

ooo how exciting good luck!

[Utah]

Top tip Rosy, move to Belfast

[Rosy]

Made it through !!!
Had callback and interview today, that was great fun and interesting mix of people all of similar ages. Got a phone call not long after I left to say that I'd got through and have to meet with Physcologist and physiatrist tomorrow - OMG!
They are paying for me to stay over in London Tonight.
God knows what will happen after that arrgghhh

Thank you x
I will not be rubbish - I'm sure you'll all love me
Still may not get in as after today the men in their white coats may take me away!
This will prob be a shortlist too and may not be told til much later on anyway, so still a waiting game I think x

If it's like previous years, it just means you're off the "long shortlist" (of 150-200) and onto the "short shortlist" (of 50-60ish? Think it varies, esp based on how many pass the psych tests - gets a lot more mysterious at this point as I've never gone further than this, you will know more than me about what happens next son!)
