Big Brother is watching you all.. do ANYTHING to get on TV; VIDEO CAPERS OF LOSING LOT.Byline: FRANCES TRAINOR THEY'RE sad, desperate, needy or just plain weird - and they all want to be on Big Brother. If the 10,000 wannabees who sent in their barking-mad videos offer any kind of clue, then the 12 contestants chosen to spend the next 10 weeks in the Big Brother house will be the oddest yet. Last night's How Not To Get On Big Brother offered the first hints of who will be moving into the new-look house on Friday. It will not be the gagging-for-fame trainee journalist, nor will it be the truly odd man who played the accordion naked in a field full of cows. The poetry-spouting hippy hasn't got a chance either. He joined the list of rejects. An incredible 150,000 application forms were sent out late last year and 10,000 videos returned. Most seemed to feature people in the nude. And accordion man actually wasn't the weirdest - that honour probably goes to the bloke in a monkey posing pouch. Scottish producer Paul Osborne For the American playwright, see .

Some 2,500 were invited to tell all about themselves in 10 seconds - and jump over a small wooden baton at the same time. At this point it was hard to know who was weirder - the chosen or the choosers. Would-be contestants then met a psychologist before the production team made their decision. But has Big Brother made the right choice? We'll find out on Friday.
