Katie Heath of Venus Zine recently wrote about her experience at a Big Brother 10 Audition this excerpt is from the site Venus Zine.

Was I nervous? I’m delighted to say “No.” In fact this cultural studies major was having a riot watching the nerves and hackles on everyone there. When I was finally pulled to a private table for my question-and-answer segment, my dude-bro accomplice warned me that my interviewer was “super drunk.” I was in good company! The next five minutes went painfully like this:

Interviewer: “What do you do?”
Me: “I’m a writer … a fashion writer.” (I bluffed, so what?)
Interviewer: “Why do you want to be on Big Brother?”
I started geeking out. Which I’m sure is adorable and good when in the company of my friends, but certainly not “cool” or “hot” in a coed jacuzzi sort of way.
Me: “For my mom. Once she quit smoking after 30 years, she got really into reality TV. It all started when we got her TiVo for Christmas. It was a terrible idea. Now she watches reality television as much as she used to smoke and I think she’d really get a kick out of –”
She cut me off. Took a big bite of her fish taco and said,
Interviewer: “When was the last time you cried?”
Me: (I snorted loudly) “Last night!”
Interviewer: “Why?”
Me: “I was thinking about my mom…”
Interviewer: “Why would you be good on Big Brother?”
Me: “I’m really good at lying!”
Interviewer: “OK, what was the last lie you told?”
Me: “Oh sometimes I make up stories! And they’re not true but I tell them to my friends like they are true! It’s great fun. But of course I eventually tell them because I end up feeling guilty…”
Interviewer: “OK. Any questions for me?”
Me: “Nope, but your food looks good?”

Apparently they’ll call me if I’m selected sometime in June. I’m not losing sleep over it, but I do think about it from time to time. To be honest, I don’t know how interesting a tipsy mama’s girl will be in a land of bug-eating and adulterous slumber parties, but we’ll see.
