Big Brother’s Looking at You

Well that season is almost here – no not Christmas ………. Big Brother! It seems that no sooner is the turkey out of the oven then conversations turn to Big Brother. Whether it is who is going to appear in the next Celebrity Big Brother or what sort of misfits or miscreants are going to audition for BB10? If you see yourself as the next Big Brother winner then auditions are being held in Edinburgh on Saturday 3rd January, Cardiff on Tuesday 6th January, Birmingham on Saturday 10th January, Dublin on Tuesday 13th January, Newcastle on Saturday 17th January, London on Saturday 31st January and Sunday 1st February and Manchester on 7th February 2009. Full details of venues can be found on Channel 4’s Big Brother web pages. If you are unable to make any of those audition dates then fear not, you can even audition on YouTube. Post a video that will get you noticed and the Big Brother team will invite you to a special adition!

If fame and fortune are not for you, but you are still keen to get some Big Brother action then Celebrity Big Brother starts very soon, there is already a lot of speculation about who is going to step into the house. Paddy Power has Verne Troyer (better known as Dr Evil’s mini-me) favourite as a winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2009 with odds of 6 / 1, and a complete outsider and quite frankly a rather startling suggestion The Queen herself has odds with Paddy Power of 5000 /1. If you would rather hold back on betting till the celebrity Big Brother contestants are actually publicised then you can still place a bet of what the total launch night viewers might be.

The usual presenters will be back such as Jack Whitehall, George Lamb and the gorgeous Davina and with a slightly curious new addition – Michael Barrymore. Another change to last year is the new Big Brother logo that has been unveiled How the new logo will go down and the new member of the Big Brother team will fare remains to be seen.
