I'm not sure this is worth a whole thread, but I am really curious.

Which HGs actually applied to be on the show??

Lisa didn't
She said someone approached her where she worked (or was subbing)

Roddy didn't
He said he was approached through connections in the business

Chiara?
In the thread about her trashing middle America, it says she was approached (I don't know if this is true or not)

So who actually applied to be on the show???
Josh is in the business, Gerry was, Jason does media stuff to. Did they apply, or we they contacted as well?

I realize the average u.s. citizen is not as physically attractive as these HGs, but with 'thousands' applying, surely they could have found a few.

Who actually had to apply in the process that is so very advertised.

I think Danielle actually applied. Marcellas said something about an agency and this "gig" so I think he was sent in some way.

I think Marcellas applied. I remember how he said he wanted to get on the show for his ex-boyfriend's sake. I'm sure Lori must've applied too, but then you never know...

I also remember one of the HGs saying Tonya went to an open call.

Chiara definitely did not apply. She was spotted in a mall and offered an audition. At the audition she was put right through to the finals.

Dani is the only one I remember talking about applying. Does anyone remember any other HG talking about it?

Remember when in past BB seasons they gave the HGs a chance to watch everybody's video submissions? I guess they won't be doing that this year, unless they had them make some fake ones after the fact.

If memory serves correct, Amy applied, and Tonya did not.

I remember Gabe, who was on the last Survivor, saying that they didn't like his video, so they made him make another one.

Clearly they liked him, and wanted him, but didn't want the video.

I seem to remember him saying he didn't like the one they used. It was all made up.

I'm sure BB could do the same thing if they wanted. Pick the HGs and then ask them to go out and make a little video about themselves.

This is how Jason got on, according to his brother at Joker's Updates:

JKRT: How did Jason happen to do Big Brother?
JoshuaGuy: A girl at our church initially told Jason that they were having Big Brother 3 auditions in Mobile. He just went to the local CBS station the day of the auditions and auditioned. He didn't send a tape, but I think he said that when he went to the local CBS station they were like "You got 2 mins, go". So I guess they send a tape in some how.

What is clear is that while "auditioning" for the show was highly publicized, the BB producers were also scouting across the country for potential HGs. They very likely did the same thing for BB2.
And I bet the producers of BB1 did likewise.

Gerry was asked to apply by "one of the producers or talent coordinators from The Chair" who was working on BB.

OMG Gina! I have been thinking of asking this same question myself. What I want to know is who holds a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) card? If they had to get one to be on the show, then who had one before? Gerry said the other day he has done TV and movies. Are any of these guys non-professionals????

Nobody should suggest that any of the BB3 HGs circumvented the audition process. Those who were "selected" by BB3 scouts were ASKED TO AUDITION. They had to pass that. Doesn't mean they were automatically in the house.

We had this discussion last week...

Go see How Did the HGs Get Selected?.

But wouldn't a professional have an advantage at an audition?

I think Amy said she didn't apply. I remember a conversation about it but I can't remember exactly what she said.

A lot of them tried out for Survivor and were "rejected" for that, but I didn't know til last night that Danielle also had, maybe she sent her audition tape to all of the reality tv programs. When she was doing her thing about Survivor late last night, she said she had tried to get on it and that she loves the show. Someone asked her about being able to do all that stuff (not eating etc.) and she kept saying "I'd have done it, I'd have done it!"

Azriel, I heard Amy to mention how she got on but I can't remember what she said either. Will keep trying, lol.
