I am so following this with interest, Sugar It would be so cool to have someone from here in there! Good Luck! After watching BB 1 I got so hooked. but my health went down the tubes so I wouldn't get in. But would Love to know someone that Did! And PS I would have shot myself in the foot too. As I wasn't a fan of Will either!

No Sugar in the BB House. No call back phone call and no email requesting my attendance for the "semi-finals".
I was already thinking of clever ways to throw out some TVClubhouse names from the BB house. Ah, well that's the way the cookie crumbles.

My younger Son went to a BB casting call in Ann Arbor about 6 years ago. He said it was a very crowded room. He went with a group of friends and that he doesn't think anyone got called back. Now remember Ann Arbor is a college town so a lot of the kids there were from out of town. I sure am glad that they didn't totally ignore the Michigan crowd in the reality shows. I am a huge fan of Dan & Eric. Even if Eric fell for pretty girls !

NO, I didn't go. I'm sure they wouldn't let me bring a newborn in the house. Even if they did, I have other small kids that I just would not leave for that long.

It's too bad, though, because I think I'd have potential in the game! I'm extrememly patient with people, I'd probably be the likeable mother type, and I usually get along well with others. I also wouldn't be afraid to lie and blindside my way to a win!!

Glad you had a good time Surgar. I went to a local one for BB8 (I think it was BB8 anyways). I didn't try out myself - just went to people watch - was very interesting for sure.

Sugar, you're much braver than I am! I love that you went and tried out for BB! You could have given the casting directors an earful about the Clubhouse and told them what wonderful critics we are here, LOL! That would have raised a few eyebrows.

It'll start no later than that it looks like- CBS announced some programming dates, and the Sunday at 8pm slot is filled until July 5th w/ reruns.

I don't remember- did BB start on a Sunday last summer? I'm still thinking perhaps Wednesday the 8th (if the Tu/We/Su sched holds) because that fits the normal show sched- intro, first HOH, and any twists announced would be on Wed., the first noms would be on Sun., the first POV would be on Tue., and the 1st eviction the following day.

as to total length, if they put them in Thursday July 2nd (they usually put them in before the 4th of July, and that would give them a week of footage for a start on the 8th), and supposing the last episode is Tuesday September 15th (which sounds about right- the Emmys will be on the 20th from what I hear, and the fall season usually starts right after it), that means 75 total days in the house.

So, if it starts on 7/12, will the first eviction be on 7/23, if they were to have Thursday evictions. Were evictions last time on Wednesday or Thursday, LOL, I can't remember because I want them to be on Thursday.

Someone who has a better sense of the show timelines let me know so I can figure out some vacation time, LOL.

Do we have any sort of timeline somewhere that shows when the endurance HOH's usually occur. I am sure someone has that, since we have so many BB fans! TIA

Dipo, BB10 had the schedule of Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Thursdays were live evictions, so Sundays were nominations and Tuesdays were Veto days. So if they follow the same formula, I'd assume you're correct, since I want to say Brian was in the house for eleven days. =)

The endurance competitions are usually after three or four people are evicted, as with BB10 it came after Angie was the third evicted, and in BB8 it was also after the fourth person was evicted was evicted (Nick). So, roughly the beginning of the fourth or fifth weeks in the house, at least for the first endurance competitions.

The second endurance competitions tend to come in around weeks seven to nine. So, endurance competition roughly every three weeks, I guess. (Give or take a week, of course.)

Sstahl64, you made me laugh! I think as long as you don't go 'against the grain", so to speak, you will be fine!!


I'm ready for BB to start myself.
