Possible Winter edition - Page 7

Hehe. I applied today in NYC and think I did well. I think around 150+ people showed up. Since they are casting until Dec. 8th, I guess they won't contact the finalists until then? Does anyone know how the process works?

Busta, how fun!! Bychance, did they give you any time frame of when you would need to be available for the show??

No, none of the people working for BB would say anything. Although, it seemed in agreement by all those there that it would be for late January/early February.

All I had to do was fill out a really long applicattion and then a two minute interview on camera. I did the interview really well and made them laugh, but I kind of messed up my last question at the end.

This is the first time I ever did anything like this but there were so many actors there and supposedly they were surprised at how many few people showed up (around 150). They also kept talking about how CBS is also currently casting The Amazing Race.

Also, it seemed most people there really disliked Dick. A group of people were talking about him and not one defended him or his actions.

that is so cool Busta!! thanks for the info, Im keeping my fingers crossed for ya! Please keep us posted. I would think that if you get a call back, they would have to give you a time frame to see if you would be available.
I am just giddy thinking of a winter season. Winter is so loooong, and cold and dismal, the live feeds would be great!
I seriously need to get a life, hehe

Good luck BustaK! It would be really cool to root for a FoRTer. But yuck on all the actors showing up. I'm not sure how entertaining it would be but personally I think people who are in it for the publicity and not the money should not be cast.

BustaK · 11-19-2007, 03:43 PM

Yeah, it seemed everyone had a head shot! Hopefully the fact I'm not an actor, helps me.

I also don't like when actors are cast on these shows. For example, at the audition, a group of them, were practicing what they would be like on the show and the comebacks they would use in arguments. It was pretty fake.

Also, I was trying to find out more info about BB9, and came across this "spoiler":

Someone who claims to know someone wokring on BB9 apparently told him/her that:
"The season will be called HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. It will be 6 celebrities (paid a handsome fee for their appearance) and 6 non-celebrities. The celebrities would live in plush surroundings at one end of the house and the non-celebrities would live in the other end in "basic" surroundings, complete with mechanical rats and roaches. They unwittingly vote each other to move back and forth between the areas until they are merged. Alice Cooper is one of the celebrities under consideration-so is George Michael. 3 nights a week starting Sunday Jan. 13, right after AMAZING RACE finale."

Sounds horrible!~

Ugh....that sounds really bad. I know I'll watch it because nothing else will be on, but come on with the mechanical rats and such....

To me, that's not Big Brother. That's a different show entirely. I HATE it when producers of reality shows give in to the pressure to change them so much you can't recognize the show anymore. They ruined The Apprentice with the whole living in tents thing, and this would be the same way. The most unfortunate thing is that if they were to just keep it simple - 6 celebrities, 6 regular joes, normal Big Brother rules, it would be very very interesting. I'd be fascinated to see the dymanic of relationships building, which celebs the regular joes would try to befriend, how if at all the celebrities would be thrown off their game because everyone "knows" them better than the regular joes, etc. Making one tiny change could make it a fantastic season. Putting that change on steroids - not so much.

LAAAAME! that better be false!! They did the same thing on the last Surreal Life, and it was stoopid. Sheesh, I cant believe that real celebs, even d listers would sign on for 3 months, and risk being voted off. Surreal Life only films for 10 days, or close to that.
PLEASE, no actors, no lame gimics, no past hgs, (not even Janelle since she has gone over to the Evel/dark side). UGH!
