The auditions for BB Australia are usually in January which means the next series may start earlier this time.

If it meant there was no overlap with UK Big Brother it would be nice if E4 - or another channel? - showed Oz BB.

Network Ten today it is on the hunt for its 2006 Big Brother Housemates and this time there’s no more Mr Nice Guy!

According to Big Brother himself, contestants for next years series will need to be smart, strong, and looking for a fight.

"If Housemates think they can take me on, let them try. No pain, no gain”.

The hunt begins at 9am in Melbourne, Monday November 21, with large crowds of hopefuls expected to front up in each city as they did for the successful series 5.

A new, tougher Big Brother will be reflected in new rules and new challenges, according to Big Brother producer Kris Noble.

“Think you’ve got what it takes to survive Big Brother? If you’re smart, if you’re tough, if you’re ready for anything, then we want to meet you!”

Network Ten’s head of production, Tim Clucas, adds the revised format will be uncompromising.

“When Big Brother says ‘no more Mr Nice Guy’, he isn’t kidding. 2006 will see a demanding, tricky and uncompromising Big Brother. For the ‘06 Housemates the party is definitely over”.
