Thanks Jimmer. Julie mentioned on The Talk that they have a new online application process and aren't requiring videos this year. Apparently, they're also posting casting calls.

just got back from having breakfast with a bunch of reality stars. End to a great weekend at www.Realityrally.com Adam from BB and Phillip from Survivor sat at our table. We had such fun. Adam is great and we really enjoyed his gf, Farrah.

That's very cool, Pamy. I think it gives a different perspective when you meet these people in person rather than just seeing them on TV.

That sounds like probably the BEST table. Fun stars who would have great stories (and tell them in a wonderfully interesting manner). Real people (not actor-wannabes). Did Adam get bacon?

Am I thinking of the wrong Adam? Wasn't it an Adam who took his winnings and bankrolled himself into the drug business? Or, who am I thinking of? Pamy, that is very cool!!!

Funny... I did not immediately place Adam.. but when you mentioned Farrah... the lightbulb went on..."Oh yah, him" ... that must have been lots of fun!

Based on CBS's scheduling and how it's worked in the past, I'm thinking a July 11th premiere date (They usually put them in about a week before, so I suspect they'll actually put them in on July 5th- having the 4th be on a Wednesday this year really messes things up).

Mybbusername. They always have casting calls. They just don't cast from them.

Spring stared so early, summer and BB seems a long time coming! I can't believe it is only April, feels like it should be June and BB should be starting in a few weeks. I can only dream!

Obviously, I am a sad person...I was actually THINKING ABOUT BIG BROTHER YESTERDAY and hoping it was all REAL people and no wannabees or reruns. Sigh.

Its good to see all these regular type people trying out for the show! So what do they do with all these applications--drop them in a bin on the way to the nearest strip club/bar/gym where they sign up all and sundry? I always watch, but I miss the early days when there were older hgs, normal looking contestants and those not in the 'entertainment' business.

i would suggest that everyone will be cast if they are eliminating part of the usual search. we usually have about3/4 ofthe house as wannabees. i cant see this change eliminating the 'usual cast'... athlete, girl next door, wild girl, smart person (m or f) the older person and of course, the nerd and the fighter. notice that is 7 'characters'.

I guess we know after all these seasons what "types" we will get in the house! That is why we watch it. Cast or casual, we will still get all the same "types"

I'm anxiously waiting to see who will be cast. Sunshyne4u's character types will no doubt continue. My work days are rather slow in the summer so I use superpass to help pass my day. I just hope "they" don't let them sleep til noon. As usual, I'm hoping that that there is at least one person I love to hate, one person I just love, and one person I can have a TV crush on...is that too much to ask?????

Well about what I figured- just one day off (I was thinking the 11th)..this will give it 2 weeks of shows before the Olympics start on the 27th. 79 days and a little over 5 hours to go my friends...
