Historically, Davina and game shows don't mix very well.

[BBDodge]

Is this show real or just a cover for BB11? Anyone go to any of those auditions that had no venues mentioned? Endemol's webiste has no mention of it.

Maybe BB11 has a million pound prize and launches with 6 live shows?

Ah, it is mentioned briefly on Endemol's wesite:

Open auditions at secret locations that no-one seems to have gone to, to take part in a TV show that's being held at a secret location in London.

LMAO Jonny, you keep changing your mind. Just a few days ago you started a thread saying "Sunday 30th May Offical Launch date"

[Tom]

and Davina hosting. BBDodge, you're on to something.

Yes, the Drop is also an Endemol production. So I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of link between that and BB11. Good spot Dodge.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

What?!?! Davina hosting? An Endemol Production? And a week before BB? To much of a coincidence I think, I was supposed to go to the Manchester Auditions but thought it would be some rubbish show!!! Oh dear..

[BBitterLemons]

This has given me an idea. Everyone start checking the schedules and we should be able to ascertain something from that.

Hmm, thats odd. I could've sworn they've had longer schedules available, could be wrong though.

I've been doing that for weeks! Nothing available for the end of May yet.

Endemol drying to drum up applicants at the Didcot Car Boot Sale:

So I think it will launch on 20th May using that. Its just too coincidental how 3 shows are ending in the same week (Thursday-Wednesday) with Embarrassing Bodies ending on the Friday. First highlights show at 10pm?

Also on the officia big brother facebook they posted the following messege:

Official Big Brother The Million Pound Drop are looking for people for their Glasgow auditions on Thursday 29th April! Register at http://www.themillionpounddrop.com and enter this Drop Code: DARE to get an application form. Let’s see if you have what it takes to beat the Million Pound Drop! Good Luck!

Hmmmmm....

[BBDodge]

The Drop will go out over a week next year, with viewers watching the show one day and live in the secret location hoping to take home Ł1 million the next.

Remarkable Television, which is part of Endemol, said: "The Drop is a big money game show with extraordinary jeopardy.

"Contestants are given their prize - Ł1 million in cash - at the top of the show. For the first time contestants will be winning big - or losing it all - live on TV.

"On each question our contestants face four trapdoors. One wrong move could see their money literally drop through the floor

"...live in a secret location..."? Like living in a house together?

But wouldn't the ad for sponsorship referring to it as quiz-type game show with a different name be breaking trades descriptions?

Perhaps they're correcting sponsors when they enquire but I doubt it.

[BBDodge]

I've registered for this but can't get any "drop code" to work. Says it's "inactive".

Seems a crazy way to audition folks for a quiz show.

Is a month really long enough to hold open auditions and whittle them down that quickly, then give notice and get all contracts in place etc?

Like with bb the open auditions are probably just a charade with the real housemates scouted through talent agencies, support groups and friends of PEJ. Really don't know why people bother to line up each year.
