Big Blogger - Applications Open Now


I have a new idea for a series of posts, centred around various bloggers known to me and how they'd cope in the BB House. BB himself is, of course, a complete imbecile, so he constantly finds himself being proven wrong by various bloggers/contestants/Housemates who are invariably smarter than himself. Such as you.

Want to apply? I'll take up to 12 bloggers who must open themselves up to 'my' BB's bidding. I will follow the real House's schedule for evictions and twists as if it were applying to my online version as well.

By 'applying' to be in the House you are allowing me to control your personalities for the duration of the series (but only on my blog, don't worry!). You must be ready to accept that two of you will be 'evicted' this Sunday, but I'll have some fun with you all first. The sooner you leave your name in the comments to apply, the sooner I can involve you in the posts. It'll be fun!

So who's in?



UPDATE:

We're halfway there (I've already heard from six voluntary applicants out of a total of twelve required Housemates), and the beautiful thing is that so far it's 50% guys and 50% girls. Not that you need to worry about that if you're one of the last people to apply and the gender balance is no longer quite so 'neat', but I just noticed and I like it. Hopefully six more bloggers will leave their names here in the next few days and I can get started!




UPDATE ON THE UPDATE:

Applications are now closed!

I'd like to be a part of it because...

I am a people person

I have a strong personality

I think I will be a threat to the other girls in the house

I will finally get to sleep next to Steph. In a discouraging love triange with Steph and Gav.

I am not Michael.

ok, i'll say to you what i was planning on saying to the real big brother people if i ever auditioned

i think i should be in the house because i lie all the time and if there are cameras on me 24/7 my lies will be caught out so this will be a good way for me to stop lying

i will no doubt kiss someone

i once had a relationship with a girl?

i will no doubt turn around and kiss someone else if thay give me any attention

i promise to make heart renching tv by divulging secrets

did i mention i once had a relationship with a girl?

did i win?

Ok Bevis Brother I'll bite too. Can I be an arrogant, egotistical bully boy who promises to stir things up, then just ends up looking like a tosser on national TV?

 
At Saturday, June 24, 2006 11:10:00 PM, Blogger BEVIS said...

You sure can, Javatari. Better than anyone I know ...

*boom-tish!*

I'm gettin' excited, people. Only three more spots left.

Can you feel the antici

if you need a non-pole dancing mother who will be boringly intellectual, sensible and nag people to drink enough water, try to get some sleep, won't pash anyone, won't strip off, and won't stir things up much at all, then i'll put my hand up. you need to balance out all the party-action, nudity and mindless groping.

i can swear nicely though.

Audrey's in as well, gang. She 'applied' on I Blogged Myself, but the show's producers have seen fit to honour the application.

And Clokeeeey makes twelve.

That's it, everyone. Applications are now closed.

Big Blogger thanks you for your interest. Please stay tuned for the upcoming post, which will introduce you to our new Housemates and give you a run-down on the first week in the Big Blogger House.

Can I be a backup intruder in case someone ducks out with glandular fever/case of the nerves?

Hehe ... okay Enny, yes you can.

Thanks Bevis.

bev, where are the neighbours posts? i fancy some catch up reading and figure that the 20,000 odd words you wrote last year to bring me up to speed would make much more sense now that i am... up to speed.

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 1:33:00 AM, Blogger BEVIS said...

There's an index of them in the sidebar, MG. I haven't done the sort of 'complete storyline synopsis' from last year, but I'm keeping things going by talking about specific topics as they crop up.

Two more (at least) will be posted this week.

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 2:51:00 AM, Blogger BEVIS said...

Okay, everyone. The first one is written ... and it's LOOOOONG!!

I won't post it for a few days. I have other things I want to cover first. But stay tuned, you lot.

No getting offended at anything it says. And you're not allowed to pre-empt my carefully-planned material for future weeks! It's all in fun and you're not allowed to influence the results of your pseudo-selves inside the House.

Otherwise you'll face early eviction.

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 3:04:00 AM, Blogger BEVIS said...

And in case my above comment is unclear (because reading it back now, I think it is) I'm asking you please NOT to suggest things like some of you already have, above, because it makes it quite difficult to come up with something else if you've used up all the possibilities in the comments!

This might sound lame of me, but trust me -- you'll see what I mean when I post the first one on (possibly) Wednesday.

I've decided against including any evictions this week. I've written it like the Housemates have all entered the House this week, and next week I'll cover the first week's events, culminating in the evictions.

I think you'll be able to see the first seeds of the 'storylines' I'm going to be developing over the weeks, so my request that you not suggest stuff is just because once you've done so, you might be 'spoiling the fun' for when the 'plot' comes to light.

(Gimme a break, this is a totally new concept!!)

I'll try to keep it entertaining if you try to enjoy it without directing the script. Deal?

I love you all.

... And no, I haven't pre-determined the winner. That I'm leaving totally to chance. More on that later, though.

the quick or the dead round here...

Are you taking applications for intruders?

If yes;

*hand firmly UP*

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 12:45:00 PM, Blogger Steph said...

Can't wait to see how i'm "portrayed". Bet i'm the first one to get me tits out!

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 1:44:00 PM, Blogger BEVIS said...

Elaine and Dxxxx, thank you for your interest. Big Blogger will get back to you.

Everyone else, please don't nominate to be an Intruder anymore. There simply aren't enough weeks left to have any more people ask to be an Intruder!

If there's a BB07, I'll probably do another Big Blogger ... and this time, it'll be from the start of the series. So more people will be able to be involved. As it is, there just aren't enough beds in the Big Blogger House this year. :)

Steph, you know I don't play that way. Everything will be lovely and nice.

PS - Would you object?

 
At Monday, June 26, 2006 6:26:00 PM, Blogger richardwatts said...

Awww, can I be an intruder too please Bevis? I'll promise to try and sleep with all the guys in the house if that helps make an interesting spectacle...?

 
At Tuesday, June 27, 2006 2:21:00 PM, Blogger audrey said...

I'm decidedly intrigued about all this BEVIS. I can't wait to read what you have in store. Are you basing the plotlines on our own blogs during the week, or are you making up stories based on our perceived personalities?

 
At Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:10:00 AM, Blogger BEVIS said...

RichardWatts, if everyone keeps asking this question it's going to be very difficult to follow the 'real-time' evictions on the actual Big Brother's schedule! So my official response from now on is going to be: "Big Blogger will get back to you."

Audrey, a little of column A, a little of column B ... and a little of column C, too. Column C is the one where I just completely make stuff up for a lark. The real BB show is certainly a source of inspiration as well ... although to be honest it won't be based much on your blogs during the week. That'd give you all too much power to 'steer' things in a certain direction (if you really wanted to). And it'd be very hard to write. I'm glad you're interested and I hope you enjoy the 'experiment'! Anyway, the 'Open House' episode is up already, and although there's nothing on life inside the Big Blogger House there yet, hopefully you're beginning to get a taste of what might be coming ...

Bummer! HOW did I miss this? Can I be Steph's understudy?? You know, just in case she comes down with some rare disease that she got from doing all those dirty things with that Kangaroo? Just a thought.. ; )~

At Thursday, June 29, 2006 4:32:00 PM, Blogger BEVIS said...

The kangaroo was her 'lockdown buddy', so I don't think she'll be feeling any ill effects from him. She has clearly spent too much time with him already and is immune to his various diseases (or she already has them). Housemates beware!
