Big Brother Australia Wanting Older People To Apply

The producers of Big Brother Australia are saying this year they are looking for older people to apply to be on the show.

Alex Mavroidis told SMH his ideal mix would be would be a combination of Generation Y, Generation X and baby boomer participants.

”I guess in an absolute ideal world, you’d have two people over 40, maybe four or five in their 30s and maybe six in their 20s. That feels like a good mix,” he said.

He also said ”What we don’t want to do is end up casting a house of wannabes.”

Well not sure happened last year as quite a few slipped through. However to be fair a high percentage of people who apply would be seeking the limelight.

Hopefully they will get a balance of people that were old and not just a few as they tend to get nominated by the younger people. But an  even mix of all ages with an above average IQ could make it very interesting indeed.

The article shows Andrea Fisher a 39 year old librarian is applying for the show and people like that could be very interesting indeed. We don’t need the dumb good looking types like Ryan or George, even with them hooking up with some of the girls did not add anything to the show.

Mr Mavroidakas appears to be on board with this idea

‘We really want men in suits, mums – you know, professional people who you’d look at and think, ‘There’s no way they’re going to get on Big Brother‘ – this year, we want them,” Mr Mavroidakis said.

So if you fill that brief and were hesitant to apply, do so, this year you might get on and spare Big Brother fans from the usual stream of himbos and bimbos.

Auditons are currently occurring and will be in Melbourne and Sydney in the coming weeks. For more information on how to audition go to the official website here.

Big Brother Australia on NINE later this year.

Layla Subritzky turned 25 today, so Happy Birthday Layla and it looks like she is having a lot of fun looking at the photo she posted on her Keeping Up With The Subritzky’s Facebook Page.

However here are some photos of her from days gone past when she was living in the United Kingdom and in them she also looks like she is having a lot of fun and she also looks really young. Do you think she is eighteen?

Big Brother Auditions Have Been Announced

Big Brother fans and wannabe housemates will be pleased to know the audition process for the second season has been announced.

It will have its usual cattle call auditions in the cities but if you live in a remote area, which is defined as over 500 kms from an audition place. If they like you they will pay  your expenses to attend a live audition.

There is also an opportunity to fast track your way through the audition process.

Expect to see more diversity in the house if this quote by Sonia Kruger is true.

She said: “We would like to see a broader spread of Housemates in 2013 in terms of age, background, profession and life experience. Whether you are a company CEO or unemployed, a full-time parent or a stockbroker, teacher or tradie, the Big Brother doors are open to all. After all, more people have been shot into space than have entered the Big Brother House. It is truly a unique and life-changing challenge.”

Here are all the details you need to know about auditioning for Big Brother:

Those wanting to audition for Big Brother will need to register online in advance at www.bigbrother.com.au. To accommodate those who work business hours, this year Big Brother has extended hours into the evening for weekday auditions.

VIDEO AUDITIONS

This year, for those who live more than 500km from any audition venue, Big Brother extends an invitation to audition via video application only. Successful remote applicants will have travel expenses covered in the second phase of the audition process.

FAST-TRACK YOUR WAY THROUGH THE AUDITIONS

As an additional incentive for people wanting to give themselves the best possible shot at becoming a Housemate in 2013, Big Brother is setting a challenge: From your own Diary Room at home (be it in a paddock, the bathroom or kitchen) send a video that starts “Hello Big Brother” and explains why you will be the perfect housemate for the 2013 season of the show. Every video will be watched, yet only a handful of fast-track entries will be granted, which for the lucky few means no lining up and straight into a face-to-face audition.

Big Brother reassures that not being fast-tracked does not mean an unsuccessful application. Everyone serious about Big Brother should attend the audition day and show producers why they would make a great Housemate.

To apply for Big Brother, Housemates need only one magic quality … the ability to embrace the experience. No skills or qualifications are needed. You don’t have to cook, you don’t need to renovate, and you don’t need to sing or dance. All you need to be is yourself.

Layla and Sam Break Up – Why? There Could Be Someone New

Layla and Sam the reality TV couple from Big Brother 2012 have called it quits. They hooked up in the house declared true love and it was only a couple of weeks ago in a weekly magazine that Layla was saying she wanted a big ring from him.

However reality TV romance can be fickly thing,  with Sam tweeting the news to confirm the rumours that have been circulating.

He did not say why they had busted up, but it would appear she may have moved onto another guy, rugby player Quade Cooper.

Layla flew up to Brisbane to see him play and clearly they don’t mind being photographed together either, as here they are in a fan shot and they were tweeting about having lunch together. On the show Layla admitted she like sportmen, and that some of her friends were WAG’s.

If she is dating Quade Cooper it would interesting to know if there is tension on the Celebrity Apprentice set between her and Stephanie Rice who used to be in a relationship with him.

There are rumours that Stephanie has had run ins with Roxy Jacenko and Dawn Fraser so is Layla also going to flick her bitch switch as well?

Whatever the case Celebrity Apprentice looks like it could be a cracker this year.
