So…
…remember that promo open call Saturday? I received an email from a reader who attended the open call - and I guess Evel Dick is losing his appeal… as of the time Fran showed up - she was the only one there! Here’s what she had to say about her experience:
Hi Lessa! Ok, well i went. this is what happened: I arrive around 1:30pm. there’s no one there but staff and a lighting and camera crew. No Evel Dick, no crowd. I’m literally the only fan there - lol.
So, basically I just show up to see if I can meet Dick. Figure it’ll be a zoo and probably just get a look at him. Didn’t really expect to be interviewed. They whisk me right back to the taping area and sit me on the directors chair in front of the lights and camera, and I’m pretty surprised and just thinking- now what…
So one person sits me down, another is powdering my face and fixing my flyaways, then a third starts interviewing me all about why i watch the show, who do i like best, favorite moments, who I disliked, what advice would I give to upcoming houseguests, etc. etc. They were so excited to have someone to interview, they were acting like I was the Queen of Sheba or something.
It was all very surreal. There was all this extra security on duty as a big crowd was expected, so everyone was just as baffled as I. It took about 15 minutes and then I left. …no one was waiting to go next.
Well, thanks for the info! We’ll see if I show up in a promo - I’m the brunette in her forties wearing the white, cap-sleeved, scoopneck blouse!
So, whatcha think!? Also, pls. let me know if you notice they start airing?
Well! At least you were treated like the royalty you are, Fran! I’ll keep an eye out for the promos to start airing, and let you know as soon as I see one! Sounds like you’ve a great shot of being the main gal, hm? Sucks that Evel Dick was a no-show, or had left already by the time you arrived. I totally would have gone with ya, if I could have!
Anyone else give that open call a try?

Wow. Well that’s disappointing to hear that no one else was showing up! Sounds like good chances for her though to get in the commercial.

[...] it wasn’t as awesome sounding to everyone else. Big Brother Craze got the inside details from one, and possibly the only, fan who showed up: Ok, well i went. this is [...]
