It was last year when my brother and oldest nephew did their formal pitch over dinner on why I should try out for the next season of Big Brother. They laid out all sorts of reasons they had come up with prior to the discussion. I was about to graduate college, I didn't have a job lined up, no boyfriend, no kids, nothing holding me back. It was perfect timing.
But senior year of college chaos kind of got in the way and I had already 3 concerts lined up to attend that summer. I also couldn't miss the birth of my second niece! So, it turned into, "Maybe next year!"
Next year rolled around and the question was asked again. Are you going to try out for Big Brother? Again, I had no full-time job, no kids, no boyfriend, nothing holding me back. So I finally did it.
I looked up casting calls and asked a couple of my BFFs to come along with me (Kirsten ended up trying out too!) and we had ourselves a road trip.
In March, we ventured on down to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and found ourselves in the middle of nowhere at a casino standing in a long line. Filled out the paper work, got my number (110!) and waited to film a 2-minute video.
I was pretty bummed that all we did was film a short video selling ourselves to the camera rather than meeting with casting agents or producers to do an interview. But none the less, we got a road trip with BFFs out of the deal and a nice story to tell (& write).
Needless to say, I didn't make it this year, but I am glad I can say, "At least I tried!" You can see the people that did make it on the show by clicking this different colored font! Will you be watching this season?
Big Brother starts Wednesday, 6/24 at 8/7c!
