I remember before BB9 there was a show focusing on some people who auditioned, one of which was Luke and I was like "Cool it's him" when I saw him actually go in. They also showed past housemates (Anthony BB6) help the auditionees or w/e with the questionnaire things.

It'd make sense for C5 to milk the auditions since it's quite an event.

It might be good to have some sort of XF type audition rounds before they launch the main show. But maybe they want to keep the housemates a secret.

I don't want it to be part of the main show or anything, just a couple of episodes on the side showing people who audition.

Maybe we could have the option to view all the audition tapes online say about 30 of the finalists and narrow them down via a poll vote which results will be revealed on launch night.

^And that way we'd choose who got in? No thanks.

We'd need a lot more than audition tapes to make proper judgements. I don't trust the public to make fair choices.

That's an awful idea, the housemates need to be kept secret and an "auditions round" before launch just wouldn't work for BB and would be extreamly tacky.

The public couldn't do any worse at selectiing housemates than whoever put the housemates in for the last 2 series at least.

I'd like to see something like that.

I don't know what I was thinking

Yeah I remember that audition show. It was interesting.

I think a similar thing should happen. Just a one off audition show before launch night.

I still think the producers should choose most of the housemates. But then I think the public should vote a few in. Like 2 housemates out of 10. We watch you tube videos of them.. the 2 with the most votes go into the house. Something like that!
