I want to be a housemate. It will give me much opportunities, even if it will expose my personal life. How about you?

lol nooooooooo way, id love the money at the end of it but to know you are being watched 24/7 i couldnt deal with that and you have to be so careful what you say..not my cup of tea at all, i would not be very entertaining anyway as im quite shy and it takes me a while to warm to people before i can actually sit and have a proper conversation by the time iv done that id have been kicked out lol

thanks for the response michelle23uk! :) I'll rethink if I really wanted to be a housemate.. I'm also a shy type person.

No, i dont want.Here in Bulgaria they make Big Brother a scandalous show and the results are predeterminated.The producers allways have one protege and usually in the middle of the show all know who will take the money. I dont participate in a game where there is no fair play.

Here in the Philippines, If you become a housemate, you'll have a lot. You can be an actor/actress. And the winner will have a million pesos, house, car, and a franchise business. The money which the show earns then go to charities. They really earns a lot.

Big Brother - Could you handle Big Brother watching you 24/7?
I definitely would never consider being on Big Brother. I personally think (apart from the celebrity) ones that people who go on these shows have little shame if they are prepared to be filmed 24 hours a day. Would you want to be filmed in the shower? In the toilet? I am not a shy person but I need my own time and personal space. To be surrounded by people who you might or might not like and have to spend all that time cooped up with them and having to watch everything you say in case the general public takes it the wrong way. I know that I couldn't handle it. I am quite happy with the money and life I already have and I wouldn't want my personal life scrutinised the way they do with contestants. All of their past relationships are dug up for gossip, not saying that I have done anything to be ashamed of but imagine an ex colleague or ex partner or even an ex friend approaching the media and selling their story and much of it being made up just to sell papers? I don't think so. I'll stick to my lovely mundane life and watch the other goldfish in the fishtank that they call Big Brother...

being a housemate in the big brother show takes courage and determination to begin with. your life will be publicly known even your past will be unearthed. you will be watched by millions throughout 24/7. in short, you become an instant celebrity in your own rights. with these, i think i am not ready to face with. i want my life to be kept private and in low profile as much as i can. entertainment is not my cup of tea after all.

I want to be a housemate! hehe. I'll just show who I really am and the real me. It's ok if I'm being watched by the whole country. It's ok. I'll just make it fun.

Big Brother is in its 7th year here in Australia and ive always wanted to be on it. My cousin got on it this year which was exciting. Its just getting out of control though. There are members of the public rallying to have it banned and the thing that annoys me is that if they dont want to watch it then the dont have to. Free to air TV isnt only channel 10, there are 6 other channels that you can watch and why cant you put on a DVD when you know it is going to be on. This year is good though, they have to earn the prize money but its just so many twists and turns. I think they released too much information in the first week. it will be interesting to see how they can keep it up.

No I couldnt cope being a housemate, sure the money is a lot, but, given that you become effectively like a prisoner, that is enough to deter me, and I couldnt cope with the same damn people 24/7. But I am cranky so that is me ;)

i have no intentions at all of becoming a housemate! yes you win lots of prizes and become a celebrity, but i dont like the idea of your every move being controlled or being watched by millions of people. at home i can follow my own schedule and do whatever i want!
