The casting producers of Big Brother were in Des Moines yesterday. They were looking for future housemates who will be able to win the overall prize, $500,000. Did they find the next Dick Donato or Adam Jasinski?
Greg Scavo, 29, of Des Moines said his mother “is afraid I’m going to kill somebody on the show because I get a little obnoxious from time to time.”
“They asked why they should pick me and I said ‘Cause I’m the most obnoxious person they’ve seen.’ And they asked why it would help and I brought up ‘evil Dick’,” said Greg Scavo, referring to the man who was a winner of a season of “Big Brother.”
“I think it’d be fun to just be obnoxious to people I don’t see on a regular basis,” Scavo said. “I’ll find a way to entertain myself at the expense of others.”
Scavo’s coworker, Cyndi Conner, said she made sure he would audition for the show because “he can let a lot of things slide and put up with a lot before he gets mad.”
Scavo said Conner and her husband Neil are “an adopted mom and dad.”
The Des Moines Register also add an interesting news item. If a newspaper or online website publishes the full name of the potential houseguest then they will probably not be selected. They like to keep the process secret. The Register responds to this situation with the following:
DISQUALIFIED: If a contestant’s full name is revealed by media, then the contestant will be disqualified, according to Tedd Schermerhorn, a senior casting producer for “Big Brother” who was at Saturday’s open casting call at Merle Hay Mall.
POLICY: Schermerhorn told The Des Moines Register that CBS has a strict confidentiality policy.
NEWSPAPERS: But newspapers, including the Register, typically have policies that required people who are interviewed for articles to be fully identified. News media in Michigan, Utah and Ohio have published first and last names of potential contestants. Schermerhorn said he did not know whether those contestants were disqualified.
