So, as a Big Brother fan anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new houseguests, I thought it might be fun to fill out the same application that they do in order to get on the show.
I've removed the questions pertaining to specific identity details, sorry Identity Thieves. Other than that, if I was truly applying for Big Brother, this is how I would answer the questions.
This will probably give you a lot more insight about me than the previous post did. So, here we go:
(5) Relationship/Marital Status (Circle one and answer questions as applicable)
SINGLE
(8) What is the highest level of education you’ve completed? (Circle one and answer questions

(10) Are you now serving, or have you ever served, in the military (U.S. or otherwise)? If so, please describe which branch of the military, your serial number, highest rank, and when and where served. If you’ve left the service, when were you discharged and why? Was it an honorable or dishonorable discharge? NO
(11) Are you a professional performer within the entertainment industry? If so, what do you do? NO
(12) Do you have any acting, singing or performing aspirations? If so, tell us your wishes and goals. I AM A VERY DRAMATIC PERSON AT TIMES, AND I’D BE LYING IF I SAID I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE AN ACTOR. IF THAT OPPORTUNITY CAME UP I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE IT.
(13) Have you ever appeared in any television programs or films or movies or commercials or advertisements of any kind? If so, please provide details and describe when you made such appearance(s). I WAS IN A 30 MINUTE ADVERTISING SHOW ON A LOCAL NETWORK FOR THE REAL ESTATE TEAM THAT I WAS A PART OF. THE PREMISE WAS TO SHOWCASE HOMES FOR SALE IN THE AREA. I ALSO APPEARED IN A BRIEF COMMERCIAL SHOWCASING THE REAL ESTATE COMPANY I WORKED FOR AND OUR SUPPORT OF THE UCP TELETHON. BOTH OCCURRED IN LATE 2008.
(14) Have you ever been arrested, charged with a crime, and/or been subjected to disciplinary charges of any kind (whether through a private or public entity)?

Section II: Family & Lifestyle
(19) Please list any children’s name(s) and age(s): NO CHILDREN
(20) Regardless of your marital status, describe your ideal romantic partner: MY IDEAL ROMANTIC PARTNER WOULD HAVE TO BE FUNNY. I BELIEVE THAT LAUGHTER IS AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN SUSTAINING A HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE. OBVIOUSLY ATTRACTIVENESS WOULD PLAY A BIG PART AS WELL. I TEND TO BE MOST ATTRACTED TO WOMEN WHO ARE JUST YOUR BASIC GIRL NEXT DOOR TYPES. I’M NORMALLY MORE ATTRACTED TO BRUNETTES, HOWEVER I’VE DATED MORE BLONDES. A GREAT SMILE AND BEAUTIFUL EYES ARE USUALLY THE FIRST THINGS I NOTICE.
(21) Describe your relationship with your mother. I AM VERY CLOSE TO MY MOTHER. SHE’S MY ROCK AND SOMEONE WHO I KNOW WILL TAKE CARE OF ME FOR AS LONG AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN. WE ARE A LOT ALIKE IN OUR PERSONALITIES. SHE’S SURVIVED A LOT IN LIFE AND I WILL ALWAYS ADMIRE HER FOR OVERCOMING THE ODDS. I AM AND WILL ALWAYS BE A “MOMMA’S BOY” AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED OF.
(22) Describe your relationship with your father. MY FATHER AND I ARE ALSO REALLY CLOSE. HE IS PROBABLY THE MOST CARING AND GENTLE MAN THAT I’LL EVER HAVE MET. I WROTE IN HIS FATHER’S DAY CARD THIS YEAR THAT HE WAS “AN INSPIRATION NOT ONLY AS A FATHER BUT ALSO AS A MAN” AND I MEANT EVERY SINGLE WORD. IF I TURN OUT TO BE HALF THE MAN HE IS, THEN I’LL BE DOING GOOD.
(23) What is/are your favorite food(s)? JUNK FAST FOOD. LOVE CHEESEBURGERS AND FRENCH FRIES. LOVE ITALIAN FOOD. LOVE MEXICAN FOOD.

(25) Do you drink alcohol? If so, how often do you drink and how much? NO
(26) If you drink, how often do you get drunk? How do you act when you get drunk? NEVER BEEN DRUNK IN ALL MY 30 YEARS
(27) What are your thoughts on religion? I AM A CHRISTIAN BUT I WOULDN’T CONSIDER MYSELF A RELIGIOUS PERSON PERSE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO DETERMINE THEIR FAITH. I AM PERFECTLY CONTENT SITTING ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN, JUST ME AND GOD. I DON’T NECESSARILY FEEL THE NEED TO CONGREGATE IN ONE PLACE OF WORSHIP. I TEND TO BE JUDGMENTAL IN PLACES LIKE THAT BECAUSE I’M WONDERING WHO IS THERE FOR THE MESSAGE AND WHO’S THERE FOR THE APPEARANCE. AND SINCE I WAS RAISED THAT JUDGING PEOPLE WASN’T MY PLACE, I TRY TO AVOID THOSE SITUATIONS. I DO FEEL A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION TO GOD, SO IT’S HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AGNOSTICS AND ATHEISTS. BUT I ALSO DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS AND THEIR BELIEFS. I’M OPEN MINDED TO HEARING ANYONE OUT ON THE SUBJECT AS LONG AS THEIR GOAL IS NOT TO CHANGE MY BELIEFS.
(28) Are politics important to you? How often do you vote? NO, POLITICS AREN’T IMPORTANT TO ME AT ALL. AND I KNOW THAT IT’S DANGEROUS TO WALK AROUND THE WORLD BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR GOVERNMENTS AND WHO IS IN CHARGE OF MAKING OUR LAWS. BUT IT’S NEVER BEEN SOMETHING THAT HAS INTERESTED ME IN THE SLIGHTEST. I USUALLY ONLY VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
(29) Have you had any particularly interesting occupation(s) in your past? If so, tell us about it/them. PROBABLY THE MOST INTERESTING SITUATIONS I’VE BEEN IN OCCURRED WHEN I WAS A TELEPHONE OPERATOR. YOU KNOW, DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE AND “0” OPERATORS? I WORKED IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY THAT PROVIDED OPERATOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS IN THAT PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT FOR NINE YEARS AS BOTH AN OPERATOR AND IN A SUPERVISORY POSITION. THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE WILL SAY TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE ONLY A VOICE ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE LINE ARE UNBELIEVABLE. THEY WILL BE RUDE, YELL, CRUDE, IT’S CRAZY. ONCE I WAS ON A CALL AND THE CALLER THOUGHT I HAD THEM ON HOLD AND THEY COULD NOT BE HEARD. THE CALLER AND HER … FRIEND … HAD OBVIOUSLY JUST FINISHED, UM, EXPRESSING THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS, UM, SIZE NOT BEING UP TO PAR, AND SHE WAS LETTING HIM KNOW THAT IT WAS. I QUICKLY GOT THEM THE NUMBER FOR THEIR PIZZA DELIVERY COMPANY AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE LINE. GUESS THEY WERE HUNGRY.
(30) Do you have any pets? If so, please list their name(s) and type(s). I DO, I RECENTLY GOT THREE RUSSIAN DWARF HAMSTERS NAMED BRISBY, BRUTUS, AND GIZMO.
(31) Are you a vegetarian? Do you have any food limitations (e.g. allergies, religious, etc.)? NO, I’M NOT A VEGETARIAN. I’M NOT ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING THAT I KNOW OF. HOWEVER, I DO NOT, AND WILL NOT EAT ANY KIND OF SEAFOOD. I AM NOT A FAN AT ALL. IF YOU WANT TO SEE GAGGING, THEN PUT A FRESH PLATE OF STINKY SEAFOOD IN FRONT OF ME. ON SECOND THOUGHT, SCRATCH THAT, I KNOW HOW SADISTIC BIG BROTHER CAN BE.
(32) Have you ever lived with roommates? If so, tell us about it. NO. I DON’T THINK I COULD TOLERATE ROOMMATES (IF THERE WASN’T A CHANCE AT HALF A MILLION IN THE END). I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A MILD CASE OF OCD OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THINGS HAVE THEIR PLACE AND I GET UPSET IF MY THINGS GET MOVED.
(33) What is your favorite TV show(s)? I’M A BIG TV ADDICT, SO I’LL JUST MAKE THIS A QUICK LIST. BIG BROTHER (OBVIOUSLY), TRUE BLOOD, GREY’S ANATOMY, WIPE OUT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE GOOD WIFE, PARENTHOOD, LOST, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, ONE TREE HILL, REBA, GOLDEN GIRLS, DESIGNING WOMEN, FRIENDS, ROSEANNE.
(34) What is your favorite movie(s)? I’M ALSO A BIG MOVIE ADDICT. I’LL JUST LIST THE MOVIES I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER. MEET JOE BLACK, HALLOWEEN, THE SCREAM TRILOGY, BRING IT ON (YEAH I SAID IT), HITCHCOCK’S THE BIRDS AND REAR WINDOW, ANY COMIC BOOK MOVIE, MOST VAMPIRE MOVIES (LOVE UNDERWORLD), AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH LOVEY DOVEY MOVIES. I DON’T LIKE MOVIES THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO JUMP OFF A LEDGE BY THE TIME YOU REACH THE END.
(35) What kind of music do you like best? Favorite artists? I GENERALLY LIKE MOST MUSIC. MY FAVORITE KIND OF MUSIC ARE SONGS THAT TELL STORIES WHICH MEANS THAT I AM INDEED A COUNTRY FAN. FAVORITE ARTISTS WOULD BE TIM MCGRAW, FAITH HILL, LADY ANTEBELLUM, CARRIE UNDERWOOD, KELLY CLARKSON, CREED, DAMIAN RICE, ALICIA KEYS, BLACK EYED PEAS, EVANESCENCE, MOBY, JAMES TAYLOR, JIM CROCE, MAROON 5, PINK, SHERYL CROW, TRACY CHAPMAN, AND TO BE TOTALLY EMBARASSING, PAULA ABDUL AND ACE OF BASE (HEY I WAS A KID OF THE 90’s).
(36) What magazines do you read? I’M A BIG COMIC BOOK GEEK WHICH WOULD QUALIFY AS A MAGAZINE I GUESS. I’VE BEEN READING THE X-MEN COMICS SINCE 1990. OVER THE YEARS I’VE PICKED UP FANTASTIC FOUR, SPIDER-MAN, WONDER WOMAN, SUPERMAN, BATMAN, BUT MY MAINSTAY HAS AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE X-MEN.
(37) What is your favorite color? Why? I REALLY LIKE THE COLOR GREEN BECAUSE IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN, BUT IT REALLY BRINGS OUT MY EYES.
(38) Do you belong to any affiliations or organizations? NO
(39) Do you have any body art (piercings, tattoos, etc.)? If so, please describe them. NO
(40) What are your favorite sports to play? To watch? I’M NOT ATHLETIC IN THE SLIGHTEST AND CAN’T RECALL SITTING DOWN AND WATCHING AN ENTIRE GAME OF ANYTHING. I CAN JUST FIND BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME THAN THAT.
(41) What are your favorite activities? I’M LIKE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO MY COMPUTER. MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME IS THE SIMS 2. I DON’T ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME THOUGH, I JUST CREATE THINGS FOR IT, WHETHER IT BE SUPERHERO COSTUMES, 3D MESHES OF OBJECTS AND ACCESSORIES, OR HOUSES. IT IS DEFINITELY MY CREATIVE OUTLET. I LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY. I LOVE DRIVING, AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE A PARTICULAR DESTINATION IN MIND. I LIKE SPENDING TIME IN NATURE LIKE IN THE MOUNTAINS CLOSE TO MY HOME.
Section III: Medical & Psychological
(42a) Have you been treated for or suffered from any physical or mental illnesses (other than common colds) within the last ten (10) years? NO
(43) Have you ever sought mental health counseling in any form? If so, please provide details. NO
(44) Please list any allergies you have (medications, food, hay fever, dust, etc.) and your current treatment for them (if any). THE ONLY ONE I CAN THINK OF IS THAT THE CINNAMON STUFF THE DENTIST USES TO CLEAN YOUR TEETH IRRIATES MY GUMS.
(45) Have you ever been diagnosed with, or treated for, alcoholism or any other drug-related addiction? If so, please provide more details, including how long you've been in recovery, if that's the case. NO
(46) Do you have a temper? How often do you lose your temper? What provokes you? I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A TEMPER. I DON’T LOSE IT OFTEN, BUT WHEN I DO, I BASICALLY SNAP BECAUSE I’VE BEEN LETTING THINGS GET TO ME WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. STUPID PEOPLE AND INJUSTICE PROVOKE ME.
(47) How do you deal with anger? I’VE NEVER BEEN PHYSICALLY VIOLENT WITH ANOTHER LIVING CREATURE, BUT I CAN PUNCH THINGS (WALLS, PILLOWS, ETC). I TRY TO NOT LET THINGS GET ME TO THAT LEVEL THOUGH.
(48) How do you deal with someone who intimidates you? GENERALLY I’M NOT INTIMIDATED BY OTHER PEOPLE. I THINK THAT EVERYONE PUTS THEIR PANTS ON THE SAME WAY AS ME, ONE LEG AT A TIME.
(49) When was the last time (if any) you hit, punched, kicked, or threw something in anger? Please provide details. SADLY ENOUGH, IT WAS JUST LAST SATURDAY, AT WORK. PART OF MY JOB REQUIRES CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION VIA THE TELEPHONE. ANOTHER PART OF MY JOB IS THAT I TEND TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE INCOMPETENCE OF OTHERS. IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, SOMEONE HAD TOLD THIS CUSTOMER, WHO’S TROUBLE I WAS ASSIGNED TO FIX, THAT THE TROUBLE HAD ALREADY BEEN ISOLATED AND STEPS WERE BEING TAKEN CARE OF TO REMEDY THE TROUBLE. SO WHEN I CALL THE CUSTOMER AND EXPLAIN THAT I’M IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF WORKING HIS TROUBLE, HE GOES OFF!!! SO I WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS HAVING TO PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S STUPIDITY. AND THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A RELENTLESS PRICK DIDN’T HELP MATTERS MUCH. THEREFORE WHEN I HUNG UP MY PHONE, I DID HAVE A BIT OF A TANTRUM AND I SLAMMED THE PHONE DOWN SEVERAL TIMES, CRACKING THE STAND (THAT I PURCHASED IT WASN’T COMPANY PROPERTY) THAT MY PHONE SITS ON. I IMMEDIATELY REGRETTED IT.
(50) What are you afraid of (e.g., heights, flying, etc.)? GREAT HEIGHTS, LIKE AT THE TOP OF A CLIFF MAKE ME NERVOUS. IF I’M TIED INTO A SECURE HARNESS I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM. I LOATHE SPIDERS, WORMS, AND ROACHES.
Section IV: Your Chance to be Creative
(51) List the three adjectives that best describe you. OUTSPOKEN, SARCASTICALLY FUNNY, LOYAL
(52) If you could hold any political office, what would it be and why? VICE PRESIDENT, YOU GET THE TITLE, BUT WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO?
(53) What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? LIVING 30 YEARS WITHOUT DISAPPOINTING MY PARENTS.
(54) What are you most ashamed of, either now or in your past? THAT I TALK ABOUT BEHIND THEIR BACKS WHEN I DON’T REALLY KNOW THEM AT ALL. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE YOUR FRIEND ONE DAY.
(55) Describe your perfect day. WINNING BIG BROTHER … OR THE LOTTERY.
(56) Who is your hero and why? MY PARENTS BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH IN THEIR LIVES, YET THEY STILL CHAMPIONED TOGETHER AND TACKLED OBSTACLES AS A TEAM. AND ALSO FOR THEIR VALUES.
(57) List three (3) items you would take with you into the Big Brother house if allowed and why. MY iPOD BECAUSE MUSIC CAN TAKE ME OUT OF STRESSFUL SITUATIONS AND CENTER ME. MY COMPUTER AND IT’S PROGRAMS BECAUSE I WOULD NEED A CREATIVE OUTLET. A PRIVATE BATHROOM.
(58) Have you ever been to a nude beach? If so, what was it like? NO
(59) Finish this sentence: “My life's motto is…” BE YOU AND STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, AND DON’T TAKE ANYTHING OFF OF ANYBODY.
(60) What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous? WHATEVER I COULD TO MAKE MY FAMILIES LIFE BETTER.
(61) What types of people would you choose to have living with you in the “Big Brother” house? OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS.
(62) What types of people would you NOT choose to live with you in the house? RUDE PEOPLE WITH BAD MANNERS AND HYGIENE.
(63) What would irritate you about living in a house with about a dozen other people? NO PERSONAL SPACE. MY OCD TENDENCIES WOULD PROBABLY DRIVE ME INSANE.
(64) What do you think would be the most difficult part of living in the “Big Brother” house? Explain. NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO MY FAMILY. I COUNT ON THEM TREMENDOUSLY TO TALK OVER BIG DECISIONS WITH THEM AND I VALUE THEIR INPUT. BEING ALL ALONE WOULD BE SCARY.
(65) Which past “Big Brother” houseguest did you like the most? The least? Explain. PROBABLY THE MOST FAVORITE WOULD BE DAN OF SEASON 10. I REALLY LIKED HIS GAMEPLAY AND THAT HE WAS A GENUINELY NICE PERSON IN THE HOUSE. MY MOST FAVORITE DUO WOULD HAVE TO BE JEFF AND JORDAN OF SEASON 11 THOUGH, I’D LOVE TO BE IN THE HOUSE WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY JUST MADE ME HAPPY. MY LEAST FAVORITE WOULD HAVE TO BE RONNIE OF SEASON 11. I REALLY DESPISED HIS GAME PLAY AND THE JOY HE TOOK IN THE MISERY OF OTHERS.
(66) Do you have a strategy for winning “Big Brother”? EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED AND THINK ON MY TOES.
(67) Aside from the cash prize, what do you hope to gain from winning “Big Brother”? JUST BEING ABLE TO GET INTO THE HOUSE AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT, WHILE RETAINING MY DIGNITY.
(68) A recurring theme on “Big Brother” is “expect the unexpected.” How would you handle “the unexpected?” Are there any possible twists on the show that would be particularly challenging for you to handle? I GENERALLY DO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. I’M NOT A PRECOG, SO THERE’S NO WAY FOR ME TO PREDICT THE FUTURE. THE ONE CHALLENGE I THINK WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR ME WAS THE SEASON 8 TWIST WHERE YOU HAD TO LIVE WITH AN ADVERSARY. I TEND TO HOLD GRUDGES.
(69) Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself and why you think you'd make a great Big Brother participant and housemate? Try to differentiate yourself and be creative! I’M GENERALLY A GOOD PERSON ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW ME, BUT I DO TAKE A WHILE TO WARM UP TO PEOPLE AND REALLY OPEN UP TO THEM. I’M REALLY KIND OF PURE IN A SENSE THAT I DON’T DRINK, SMOKE, DO DRUGS, OR SLEEP AROUND WITH PEOPLE, YET I’M NOT A PRUDE EITHER. I’M A BIT OF A CHAMELEON AND HARD TO FIGURE OUT. I DEFINITELY DON’T FIT IN ANYONE’S BOX OF HOW I SHOULD BE.
(70) Have you ever applied for and/or appeared on any other reality TV shows, dating shows or game shows? If so, please provide details and dates. NO
