Crazy New RP Idea

Yes, this is totally crazy, but I thought I'd test the water with this, just to see what happened.

Currently taking place in the UK is Celebrity Big Brother. I think they do BB in America as well, although I'm not entirely sure. Basically what happens is that ten random people from the public (or eight celebrities in the case of CBB) enter a house and are completely cut off from the rest of the world. There is no news. There is no contact with family. There is just the house ands the other housemates. The housemates live in the house for, potentially, seventy days, and go about their day to day lives, occasionally completing challenges set by the boss, Big Brother.

Of course, it would be nowhere near as popular as it is if that was all. The tasks are usually disgusting, degrading and/or difficult, and usually important matters such as the food budget are decided on the outcome of the tasks. Success reaps its rewards, but failure could prove fatal (not literally - it's a figure of speech). As well as this, every week, the housemates nominate two people that they would like to see leave the house. The two with the highest number of votes are up for eviction. The public then vote on who they would like to see leave, and whoever gets the most votes does just that. Eventually just one housemate is left in the house, and they receive a maximum cash prize of £100,000, although this is usually depleted severely by the time the ten weeks are up.

So, what I was thinking was whether it would be possibe to do an NS Big Brother, with ten people from ten nations entering the house. It would be a big challenge, I realise that, but I feel that this could really work. If you have any questions or (gasp) would like to apply to take part, feel free to do so right here. I really want to see if this can be done, and I would like as much input and feedback as possible.

Remember though, Big Brother is always watching, and when he says, you do, or face the consequences. Absolutely anything can happen...and it usually does.

Yeah, we have it in the states, but its no where near as popular as Survivor or American Idol (which produces, by far, the WORST musical artists in the US...You shoulda kept Simon, hes destroying the American Music Industry...Hes reason alone why we should go to war with the UK....JUST KIDDING)

But anyways, back on topic, yeah, it sounds good, and I'll do it. Sign me up for a spot.

Why I Should Be Chosen To Take Part In NSBB (In 50 Words)

One applicant per nation please.

Note that, whilst I'm okay with non-human entrants, no special powers will be allowed in the house. Should a housemate use any power to his or her advantage, they will be evicted with immediate effect, because that's the power Big Brother wields.

Name: Rachel Summers
Sex: Female
Age: 22
Occupation: UMAC Sales Representative

Why I should take part in NSBB:
"I believe that I can bring an air of humor and fun to the house. I'm easy going, and can get along with people well, and enjoy being around other people. I also think I stand a good chance of winning the compitition."

Name: Shibvyn Leepar (pronounced Leaper)
Sex: Male
Age: Unkown (Goblins age strangely and have a very different calendar)
Occupation: Goblin Engineer
Species: Goblin (Cunnin'un)

Why I should be chosen (typed by a convenient human who does not share the liberal goblinoid approach to spelling and punctuation):
I should be chosen as I will add a very different approach to BB. My character, as a non-human, will bring a unique aspect to the game and will provoke interest, as well as my being a friendly, open and humorous character. As such, I think that I would be a valuable edition to the Big Brother house.

Why I Should Be Chosen To Take Part In NSBB (In 50 Words)
Barra should be chosen because he has unique characteristics that many people do not have. He has many intriguing hobbies, such as animal handling (he has a cougar, and a golden eagle). He will add whatever he can to the BB house.

(he would like to know if it would be ok if his cougar came with him, if he gets accepted)

Sleibhin (pronounced: SLE-veen) Will not cause physical harm amongst the other housemates, it's just that if I leave him, there will be no one that is able to take care of him, and he may get confinscated and terminated by the government.

Well actually you're the second, but that's neither here nor there (well actually, it's there, but that's another story). We now have five entrants, which is good but not good enough. If everybody could persuade one person to join it would be perfect. Please try to do so if possible.

It appears no-one else is entering, so if that's it, we might begin soon. Maybe a trial run will encourage more players to join the next one. Expect to start within the next few days.
