“I wanted to remind anyone who’s interested that the “Big Brother” casting call in Hillsboro takes place tomorrow at the Streets of Tanasbourne.
I encourage as many people to try out as are willing. I’d love to see another Oregonian — or several — in the house.”

“Among the rumors was the assertion that the AMPTP had a groundbreaking proposal that would make this negotiation a “done deal.” In fact, for the first three days of this week, the companies presented in essence their November 4 package with not an iota of movement on any of the issues that matter to writers.”

“Joey Buttafuoco was one of about 70 houseguest hopefuls who participated in an open casting call this weekend in Los Angeles for CBS’ Big Brother. While waiting in line before his audition, Buttafuoco chatted with BB8 winner Dick Donato (yep, he was there, too). “I support the writers strike because they’re entitled to get what they work for,” said the 52-year-old, who’s appeared in such films as Finding Forrester and Mafia Movie Madness. “I don’t believe in crossing the picket line or anything like that because this program isn’t going to be happening for quite some time. Am I right?”
Not really. It’s CBS’ hope to get BB9 up and running by February, if the strike persists through the holidays (things could be looking up, however: both sides agreed to return to the negotiating table on Nov. 26). Buttafuoco says he’d be “an asset” to BB, though he admits his celebrity could work against him in the house. “It has hurt in the past,” admits Buttafuoco. “Even just going on a regular audition! Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don’t, because my Q rating is too high. But I’m not that character that the media made me out to be. I’m not that guy.” “

“Dear Big Brother Candidate,
Phone Calls will be made by Friday November 30, 2007 to those who have been chosen as our semi finalists. If you do not receive a phone call, or were not able to make the home video and application deadline, please come visit us at one of our open casting calls for your last chance to be cast on this season of Big Brother! Be sure to download our BIG BROTHER application at www.CBS.com and bring with you, filled out, to the open call.
*PLEASE no phone calls or emails. We look forward to seeing you in your city!!!!”
If this IS true, it’s likely just a first round of semis – they are STILL doing open casting calls, so you still have a chance to make it.
“Just for fun I was checking out the Big Brother 9 application form. While I love watching reality TV and Big Brother in particular there is no way you could get me on one of those shows. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to expose their lives like that on national TV. I still found the application itself fascinating. The full application contains over 70 questions. It starts out like any job or college application. You know, name, address, phone number, employer, bra size. Yes, ladies, you need to tell them your bra size. As the application states, “nd remember, above all else, you must BE HONEST!” Both men and women have to include their underwear size. Lets see McDonalds or U. of Michigan get away with putting that on their application forms! Now I’m sure their are legitimate reasons for this since at various points during the competition the producers provide the house guests with cloths but you can’t help but wonder if they don’t use this info in other unofficial ways to select house guests.
Here are a few of my other favorite questions from the application form:”

“‘Big Brother’Â is holding an open casting call Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Katy Mills Mall.
Outgoing, intriguing, competitive people who think they have what it takes to be a Big Brother House Guest are welcome between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. that day. “

“Will the strike negotiators be home for Christmas? A “very reliable source” tells Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily blog that there appears to be a deal in place between both sides. “It’s already done, basically,” says the insider, crediting weeks’ worth of back channel note-sharing conducted by Hollywood agents. “I was told not to expect an agreement this week,” says Finke, “but my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.”
In other words, maybe, just maybe, TV viewers won’t be handed a big lump of coal as this holiday season – at which time the fresh scripted offerings will really start to dry up -Â rolls around. “I don’t want to raise false hope,” Finke adds. “But this source has been very accurate in the past.”"
