Hey, Brother, ever had a threesome?
You might not have kissed someone of the same gender, indulged in a little al fresco loving or paid for sex but if you want to be considered for the fifth series of Big Brother, it might help.
These are just some of the questions posed by Big Brother producers in their search for a dozen people interesting enough to keep viewers glued to their TV sets this year.
In a departure from the first four series, producers are holding open auditions instead of asking would-be housemates to send in applications.
The auditions got under way in Perth 10 days ago with 3000 people queuing for up to 16 hours in their bid for a spot in the Big Brother house on the Gold Coast.
In Melbourne, 4000 people turned up for last weekend's auditions, with some camping out for two nights to secure pole position.
Producers expect a similar turnout in Sydney when the three-day audition process starts at the University of Sydney's Wentworth Building tomorrow.
Those aspiring to spend up to four months in a house with only a group of strangers and copious quantities of alcohol for entertainment can expect to discuss topics normally excluded from polite conversation.
Applicants have faced questions such as "Have you had a threesome?", "Have you ever pashed someone married?" and "Are you normal?"
Sex seems to form a pivotal part of the audition process, which also includes role-play games with applicants asked to simulate sex with each other, perform a mock striptease and, presumably for variety, cluck like a chicken.
