A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to A Big Brother Audition

As you know, Big Brother is currently holding auditions for season 10 of the hugely popular voyeuristic show. For those who may not know (I don't know how, but anyway...) Big Brother is a show that spies on everyone who lives in the Big Brother House via cameras and microphones everywhere. One by one, the house guests vote each other out of the house until at the end of three months, the last remaining house guest wins the grand prize of $500,000. What's not to love?

Well it appears that only 24 people turned out to recent audition in Greenville, North Carolina! Why...I do not know. Local station WNCT-TV helped with the process and stated they saw farmers to porn stars. Out of 24 people? Who are the people living in Greenville? Perhaps we will be surprised by next years' housemates?

The process included filling out a 12-page questionnaire which included quite personal items such as bra and underwear size. What that has to do with the competition is beyond me.

Each contestant must also give a short speech into the cameras about why they should be chosen to be on Big Brother. Reactions varied from fidgeting to wisecracking to rational reasons of paying off debts with the prize money.

Don't let the show die out with farmers and porn! Here is the list of audition cities - go and be on the show! What a ride that would be!
