Over at Jokers Updates seems like someone posted an email letter that production sent out to the top 35 finalists. It covers the rules and expectations for the sequester. Here’s a breakdown!
During your stay, all incidental expenses are your responsibility…
So you make it to the top 35 and you still gotta foot the bill for phone calls, mini-bar and everything else above basic food and lodging - I would at least expect some free beer.
You will be given a schedule for meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in the hotel restaurant… you will be given a scheduled workout time and pool time and may use these facilities ONLY at your designated time.
Top secret operations are going down! I can’t imagine how intense this whole process must be for some people, from your day-to-day life at home to a top secret location, no outside contact and everything on a schedule handed to you. The road to BB HG sounds like a pretty difficult one all of a sudden. I wonder if you can trade your workout time for a couple extra meal times?
DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE except our staff. WE MEAN THIS!!! Your involvement from here on out is to remain strictly confidential. This means, for instance, if a housekeeper strikes up a conversation, play dumb. Lie if you must, but do not under any circumstances give out any information as to who you are and why you are here. This rule applies at airport security as well, so prepare your story before arriving at the airport.
This is where things start to sound a little fishy to me. Lie to housekeeping? Sure, no problem - my guess is most people probably lie to them anyway, you know, stuff like “that stain was there before I checked in…” or “no, I don’t know where all my other towels went…” but lying to airport security? Isn’t that a little dangerous? I’d love to be on Big Brother but not as much as I’d love to avoid a full body cavity search for the rest of my life. But I guess instead of a story like “I am running drugs for the Canadian mafia” they mean use a story like “I’m auditioning for a show” rather than “I am a big brother 10 top 35 finalist”.
You may NOT bring a still photography camera, a video camera, camera phone or any kind of recording device with you.
I can’t begin to imagine how hard this must be to enforce - since these days everything comes with a camera built in, I’d be kinda mad if I had to leave my iphone at home (if i owned an iphone).
Anyway, It’s a pretty lengthy (but interesting) read. Definitely an insight into how the process to becoming a BB!) finalist works. Head over to read the full post
