I have a Mac, and can't download music from Real, unless that's changed. Last year I tried it, and it said it was windows-based only. Thanks for the heads-up, Ladytex - guess I'll have to re-subscribe early! I hope its a good season with ALL STRANGERS, and NO TWISTS...

Hi everyone! I have been waiting to see "USA 2009" forever! I was so happy to see all the messages. I'm counting the days until we meet the 'mousemates', ahem, I mean 'housemates'. That's great news about Julie's pregnancy. It will be interesting to not only watch the baby bump, but to also see her (stylish) maternity clothes. (Ok, I'm probably the only one interested in her wardrobe...I'm weird like that...LOL).

I love checking out Julie's clothes too! A couple of times I have spoiled the shows and always made sure to include what JC is wearing! It's all part of the BB fun! We had a lot of fun last summer, can't wait for it to start!

I finally posted my instructions for getting the free music and games with pics (on superpass). Yeah looks like Mac users can't get the music - guess that is one reason they charge $2 less a month though!! http://www.bigbrothergossip.com/2009/04/get-your-free-music-and-games-from-real.html

I'd be interested in the kind of questions they ask, and the direction you feel they want you to go in.

Overland Park, KS??? I'm half an hour away. If I didn't have a newborn baby.... I wonder if they'd let me bring the baby into the house? That's one of the problems with the casting of this show. You can't get a truly diverse cast because most people can't just put their lives on hold for three months. I couldn't leave my young children for that long. My husband couldn't leave his job for that long.

We are on our way to check it out. Not a chance they would cast a middle aged BBW but will report back soon.

Sugar's Big Brother Audition 2009 Although there were quite a few people at the bar it was not as crowded as I thought it might be for the Big Brother auditions. Yes, there were a some scantily clad young blonde things and funky coiffed dudes, however, I was pleased to see other demographics as well. My group of 4 consisted of women who were 38, 39, 39 and myself who admits to being twice 21 and then some. I pointed out to our interviewer how people want to see different ages, just look around the bar, mostly over 35. My group agreed we want some diversity and definitely people over 20. It went pretty quickly. Once you found the spot, you got a # and a vital statistics and why do you want to be on BB form and they took a picture of 3 of us who came at the same time. It took less than 10 minutes for my turn. Our interviewer was named Phillipe and worked for Allison. (May have shot self in foot saying BB 1 was my fav and I wasn't a huge Dr Will fan) He wanted fairly quick answers and for us not to be offended by any answers. Went around the circle gave names, ages (mine still secret) and why we should be on BB. He also told us to listen to each other (hello, loud bar!) as we would have questions about each other. IMO, 3 of the 4 of us gave pretty good answers the other was pretty meek and mild. The 1st woman had Beautiful, I mean Beautiful, eyes and was quite attractive overall. She is an artist and model and says she is unique. The 2nd woman, was difficult to hear saying she was nice, had a good heart, liked people and worked in advertising or marketing I think. The 3rd woman was tall, full voiced and had a commanding/imposing way about her. She was really working it. She is direct, says whatever she thinks... Said she worked in nursing homes and could bring a whole new demographic. Phillipe said, isn't it just 1 tv for all the people in the nursing home? She said old people watch tv all the time. The 2nd woman said that she & #3 would make a good team as they were opposites. I said I should be on BB because I was witty, fun, could be acerbic, was warm but could also be cool, didn't suffer fools gladly but was willing to listen and learn other points of view. And come on, let's bring some fat girls to the table! He asked me something like what pushed my buttons. I said, again, I don't suffer fools gladly, and am annoyed by things I think are stupid. He asked for something more specific, I said ok, I think season 3 had the not washing hands after using the bathroom and there would be none of that in my BB house. If I had to take an adult to the sink and make them wash their hands like a toddler, I would do so. He asked #3 What people didn't like about her. I don't remember what he asked #'s 1 & 2 and again, it was a bit loud so difficult to hear. At one point #2 said maybe she was too nice and I said you can't have a villain if you don't have a nice. I don't remember what he asked me but he then said something like, you prefer to be a follower. I said oh no, I am a leader. In BB you have to be a puppet master, I can stir the pot in this group then stir the pot in that group and make each group believe that they did it. He then asked each of us who we would vote out and why. #1 said #3 because she seemed strong, #2 said #3 for pretty much same. #3 said nobody, everybody, wants more time... he said she had to say, she chose #1, I think because she was too pretty. I said #1 because he liked her eyes better. He kinda laughed and said that's not a reason. I said this is BB, don't need a reason. He wanted another reason. I said ok, she is wearing turquoise and I am not a turquoise fan. He said come on that's petty. I said this is BB, petty works, you don't need a reason for anything, the goal is to win. They will contact people tomorrow who they want to go to the "semi-finals" on Sunday. I verified they will only contact people they want to see again. I told him to make sure he could read my #. He laughed and said, oh, yeah better make sure I can read them. I said well, at least mine. It was actually a fun and enjoyable experience. As I said #3 was really working him even as we were leaving. 3 of us chatted a few minutes afterword and agreed it was fun. I ran into #1 in the ladies room and she said she wasn't going to wash her hands and what would I do about that? I said, you heard my answer, those hands will be washed. She decided to wash with no help from me. My hubby was waiting for me at the bar having a nacho snack and I noticed #1 at the other end so went to speak with her again. She has never seen BB! I suggested she try to rent or see some you tubes.

}Thanks for the kind words everyone. It is nearly 2:00 pm CST no call back phone call as yet. I really don't expect one as I sincerely don't think they are interested in a middle aged BBW. Perhaps #'s 1 & 3 have a shot. Fiat did you go? Where you one of the people in my group?
