We just sawChelsie Banham winBig Brother 26, capturing the $750,000 grand prize on Finale night and becoming the first female winner of the CBS reality TV show to win a seasonby a unanimous vote.

So if you are interested in being one of the Houseguests chosen forBig Brother 27in 2025, how do you go about it? And what are the casting directors looking for? And is submitting a casting video necessary to have a real chance at making the show?

Here are the four steps provided on theBig Brothercasting websiteyou need to follow if you are serious about trying to get secluded in that famous house in Studio City, California next summer and play for that massive $750,000 final prize money.

Step 1: Watch the video to see what castingis looking for

Most contestants onBig Brotherget to the reality TV competition game show by simply applying for the show through theBig Brothercasting website.

"“It’s very time-consuming for us to watch all of these videos and we actually do watch all of them. And then to take the effort to call someone and get to know them, we want to go off the actual audition videos, actually.” —Jesse Tannenbaum, Big Brother Casting Director"

Step 2: Make your casting video audition tape

Simply sending in TikTok videos, wearing sunglasses, overacting and hyping yourself up, making a premeditated script, or having bad sound or lighting is a good way to get yourself eliminated.

The best bet when making your audition tape is to let the casting directors know who you are as a person in your natural surroundings. It’s perfectly ok to swear if that’s the way you talk, but remember not to make your audition too short or too long and try to film it horizontally.

If you are planning toapply forBig Brother 27, check out the above video fromBig Brother 25Houseguest Mecole Hayes who offers up some great advice and provides her successful audition tape which landed her a spot in the house.

To make your video, go to the “video” tab on the CBSBig Brothercasting website. You can record your video using a smartphone or PC camera and then save it as a standard video.

But make sure the final video is appropriate for theBig Brothercasting website’s specified file type and limitations in file size. And likeBig Brothercasting director Jesse Tannebaum said in the above video, if you are having trouble with the file types or sizes, simply ask a friend who may know more about it than you.

Step 3: Save the video and a picture on your PC

After you have successfully made your audition tape and are happy with the final product, save it to your PC so it will be easy to just click a button to add it to your application when you decide to apply online and upload it.

Also, have a good current picture of yourself saved on your PC before you apply.

Step 4: Fill out application, upload your video, picture

AllBig Brother 27applicationsmust be submitted atbigbrothercasting.tv. Because of the massive number of applicants each season, don’t expect to be able to ask casting if they actually received your application and casting video. It is just best to assume that they did. This is their job and they have done this for 26 seasons.

And like Jesse said in the video, theydolookat allof the videos. Should you be lucky enough to get a call-back from theBig Brotherproducers and are chosen for an interview, you will hear from them shortly before the interview.

If you are one of the lucky few to make it through that first initial interview process and have caught the attention of casting and make it to the final selection process. Producers will contact you and a trip to Los Angeles for a final in-person interview will mean that you are just one step away from either making the show or not making the final cut.

If you are considered in that final selection process but don’t make that final cut—there were16 Houseguests onBig Brother 26—don’t give up.Big Brother 8 winnerEvel Dick Donatosaid that he applied several times before finally being chosen by casting for Season 8.
