They had an open casting call for season 10 here in New Orleans on Thursday. The ad said that they were looking for something different this time and asked for "Geezers" to audition. I don't know what their idea of a geezer is, but we may be in for a better season then these kids have provided us this season. Everyone get ready for Big Brother Assisted Living Edition!

We had an open casting call in Miami today and the commercial they ran for it was the standard one. the blurbs in the newspaper about it didn't say anything special either. I wanted to go just to tell them to pick ordinary people and older people but my DH wanted to go to Bass Pro Shops instead!!

The rumor is the house will be split by people under 30 and people over 30.....

My daughter tried out, but she hasen't gotten a call back today so I guess she is a no go. There was a transvestite in front of us in line and she/he was pretty funny, I would love to see her in the house. I wonder what the other HG would think of that.

I wonder what the other HG would think of that Stop. IMO they wouldn't or shouldn't think any different!

There was also open casting here in NE Ohio, at Kent State University, last Wednesday. They didn't say anything out of the ordinary like they were looking for old geezers. I wish they would really shake it up. I think if they had a BB for the over 40 age group, it could really be hysterical.

I'd love to see 2 groups living in the house at the same time - 10 people under 40 and 10 over 40. Each group would have separate competitions, HOH, vetoes and one from each group would be eliminated each week. Switch things up from time to time - oldies vote out the youngsters and vice versa. Once they get down to 10 people, have a "merge" and BB as usual.

I posted sometime last month that CBS confirmed that BB10 would take place this Summer as usual and included a link to the story. Apparently, it "fell off" the board. The next day, CBS began airing the promos enticing people to apply that currently run during episodes of BB9. It's interesting that they may try to cast more "older" HGs. I guess having a slightly "older" crowd on All Stars, then ED and Sheila has FINALLY convinced them that those of us over 30 ARE interesting and draw interest. Sheesh.

They had a casting call in Philly on Friday. The local news did a quick story about it. They showed the people in line trying out. They all looked the same as this year's crew (Ugh), some even worse.

I'm not sure, but I think Lanzee wanted to apply. Heck, I'm probably messing up the name.

All menopausal women and only one fan. Now that would be interesting.

Last summer's UK BB started with only women. They came up with quite a nice balance - not much bitching at all, at least that's how I remember it. Then they introduced a single male (and afterwards other males) and it all changed.

I think BB should cast all fans of bb. They should be able to pass a test on question from BB1 thru BB9 to even try out for the show. I'm tired of ppl getting on the show that want to be actors.

If Sheila and Evel Dick are what they consider good oldies, I will pass on older players next season.

I hope they do not cast too much over age 40, it will be snooze fest on ST2

Grodner was going to use real hamsters but changed her mind when she saw how much smarter they are than the human hamsters. "Our viewers don't watch the show for intelligence. They would get confused. Confusion should be left to the houseguests."-said Grodner

Jucy - I love your idea of casting only fans!!! That would be so interesting because fans really know how to play the game from watching & criticizing (sp?) past seasons. Too bad AG doesn't appriciate her fans enough. lol
