Big Brother

So I auditioned for Big Brother last week. It was fun but a bit odd.

Started out pretty early. I woke up at 5am and took the 7am train to Dublin. There haven't been any auditions in Belfast for the last few years so everyone has to travel to Dublin or one of the other big cities. Saw 2 guys at the station in belfast and they asked me about the train. I instantly knew they were going to the BB auditions but didn't say anything. I saw them as I was getting off the train in Dublin and asked them if they were going. They said they were and I asked if they wanted to share a taxi. They needed to get some breakfast so we all decided to eat at Mc Donalds...such a healthy start to the day...lol.

After chatting over an egg mcmuffin they told me that only one of them was auditioning and the other was just coming along for the craic (fun) but we tried to encourage him to do it. He said that he just wanted to have a few pints and relax. I thought he would wait in the pub but he decided to buy some booze and drink it on the way. (That's right...you can buy booze at 9.30am in Dublin..lol!)

We finally arrived at the venue at about 10.30. Luckily it wasn't starting until 12 and most people turned up late so we weren't too far back in the queue. I think there were about 50 people infront of us but about 500 behind us...if not more! The guy who was drinking was just a bit tipsy at that stage. We waited in the queue and met a few other people. There was a girl in front of us who was wearing the stupidest costume...a maids costume over blue jeans! Her boobs were almost popping out of it. She wasn't a skinny girl either so it was no surprised that all the camera men, tv/radio crews where taking her picture and chatting to her. Me and my new friends in line were just laughing at all the weirdos.

We finally got to the audition. We were in a group of 10 together and we had to play a warm up game which was just passing a plastic ring (like a cheap version of a hula hoop) from the ground up over our head and then on to the next person. It was a like a race with another team. Luckily we didn't have to do that for long and we went on to the next stage.

The next stage was talking to two girls from the production team. They asked the goup about a moral issue...lol...basically something like "Would you tell your friend you hate their boyfriend?" Things like that. We all had to answer that and discuss it with the group. Then we had to get into pairs and find out things about our partner and then introduce our partner to the group. All this time the guy who was drinking was getting really drunk and he started being argumentative with the production girl. She was getting very defensive and had her arms crossed. I was the only girl in the group and was hoping she would be nice to me. When it came to our introduction she was not nice to me at all and even though she asked everyone why they wanted to be on BB she didn't ask me and I was the only one with a decent answer. All the fellas said they wanted to do it for fun! I was pissed but thought the best of it and tried to be positive. When everyone had finished introducing their partners they told us to talk amongst ourselves and they would decide who would go to the next stage. They then asked us to stand holding our hand up and they would stamp who they wanted to go through. They ended up picking one of the guys I met on the train (the sober one) and another guy. They were the two good looking ones. So at this stage I knew that i was never in with a chance because they wanted the 2 good looking fellas. The girl was a real nasty type but in retrospect I should have said something to her.

Anyway, I didn't get through but the busty maid did get through...lucky girl. Maybe I might wear a costume if I apply again next year...lol. There are online applications this year so I might make a video and put it online...who knows.

Well that's my Big Brother story. Hope it was interesting for some of you BB fans.
