Maybe people knew what was happening because people auditioned last year?

Well they could know what happened last year but it doesn't explain the erratic behaviour and also the tasks would be different this time around.

I have wrote a detailed analysis in another thread.. just join in the fun, be yourself and think of 3 interesting facts to say about yourself.

We played simple games like passing a ball from one person to another using just your knees, and a game of "Big Brother Says". You play against another group of 10 and the winning team gets to chose a forfeit for the losing team. My team lost so many times. Had to do a sexual position with a stranger ... odd.

During all of the games - people all around you can watch and see you.

At the next stage - it kinda differs from group to group. The first time I did it our group had to pair off into twos and talk to somebody you didn't know and give them 3 interesting facts about you. They then tell the producer/group about you. We also had to make a famous monument using just our bodies.

The second time I did it we had to spell out a word using just our bodies, we also had to rank ourselves from most deserving to least deserving and then our group was split into two and we had to chose one member of the opposite group to "evict".

It wasn't a case of ugly or beautiful people getting through. The 1st round it's all down to 1 person. Just 1 producer decides who they think should go through.

I love writing so you're in luck.

At the front of the queue is a mentor and two groups of ten people. Each of them stand in a row facing each other. The two groups then play games, guided by the mentor and the winning team gets to pick a forfeit for the loser.

Such games included:

Passing a ball backwards though your group of ten people, overhead and under the legs.
Passing the ball backwards using only your legs.

After a while either both groups or only one group are acquitted of the task and move onto the next section where you meet another Endemol representative.

At this part more tasks are completed and the succesful people are then stamped to go and fill in a form in a little side room.

Some of the tasks here included:

Spell a word using the bodies of everyone in your team.
Do a mock eviction.
Pair up and tell 2 interesting facts about your partner to the group.
Say something interesting about yourself.

That's about it for that part and as I got no further, hopefully someone else can fill you in on the rest.

To answer your question about good looking or uglies.. it seemed more like non materialistic type people were chosen. Personally I don't consider myself to be materialistic but I dress like I am, although don't take this as fact because it most likely wasn't in Endemol's objective.

I'll give you a tip. Try and make your interesting facts more emotional. It's what the egeneral piublic are inclined to remember and like too. After realising this, I'm now wishing I had of chosen a more emotional topic than my training my dog to count to 4 and writing my own blog. They probably would have liked my story instead of the facts I chose.

Another tip - do not mention you are a fan of BB if you are. I really think that is the mistake I made and I made that msitake twice.

hey all,i got threw all the rounds.it was insane

1st round-just having a game or two with this guy with a microphone,wasnt a test or anything,then everyone was sent to the bottom of the hall with a roducer.They asked u to pik someone u dont know and tell them 2 things about urself,then rank ppl in deserving to get in and sum other games and then they stamped u if they wanted u to go threw.only 3 out of 10 of us got stamped.

2nd.u go into a part of the hall were u get ur polaroid done and do a small application.

3rd.u then go upstairs and meet the producers for a few minutes and have a one to one with them.

4then u go down to this room were your told to wait,i tot it was the discussion activity,it wasnt,it was were u were told if the producers would put u threw,lots of ppl got cut off here even tho everyone in this stage was stamped.id say they let no more than 80 threw.i was told i was being put threw.


5.ur then brought to another room where u give ur number to these workers and they give u a 30 page application,THEY ASK EVERYTHING,it was ssooooo long,it hurt!!then u were given a time to come back to have the general discussions and then meet bb.sorry if this is cocky but i nailed the genral discussion,u talk bout things going on in the world,while two producers take notes of u.

6.they then give the notes on u to a worker who brings u to the diary room where u meet bb,i assume they give them the notes from the general discussions room.then u chat with bb.and then ur done.i heard a few ppl come out of the diary room and say they didnt get in,didnt no theyd be told there and then.anyway it went extremely well and im confident but u just dont no what to think.itl be a while before i hear anything if i hear aything at all

There weren't as many as I thought there would be. When I first got there (I queued up twice LOL) at 11am there were about 140 people in the queue, if even, and the second time I queued only about 50 people.
