when I checked last night it had a few more likes than Cody, and tonight they'll be uploading, I assume, another 27 applications

Was she the one with the fake crime scene?

Yes
at least hers did stand out - it was strange in that what she said really didn't match the set up she did but I did remember it.

I know they’re pushing the “everyday Australian” angle but I do think the general consensus is that we also need a bit of spice. Not really volatility but a bit of sass, a bit of something extra, the naturally hilarious types. The type of people that don’t have to tell you they just are. Not really seeing that in any of the videos.

I like this angle… Pulling back the curtain is something that’s really been missing from the format. If not included in the actual show then it at least seems like a great way to utilize social media. Especially on a platform like TikTok where DIY videos are extremely popular.

they disabled comments on the first batch but forgot for this round! There's also still too much strategy talk in all these ;-;
Edit: they originally uploaded 41, and now there's only 39 new ones

having a quick look at these it is obvious so far a lot of them have gone with the lets wear PJ's approach thinking they would be original and different and they really were not! If you are not Sara-Marie then it goesn't have the same vibe for me!
Also Angelo from Ipswitch looks popular - I wouldn't mind seeing more of him.

IDK the fact that so many people over explain… Like don’t tell, show! Like if you’re going to say that you have a sense of humour because you’re gay then you better show me why that is. Also people who are clearly reading from a script or at least bullet points. Like if you’re not comfortable sitting talking to a camera practice by having someone film you! If you make the cast that’s what your life is going to be for months. Good thing I’m not in casting.
It's also notable that they're all just talking to camera and not doing wacky outdoor audition antics as per previous seasons. And all in portrait mode.
If it was purely for marketing, I get only sharing portrait to keep the consistency for socials but having a few (Gabi, Shane, Paris) all specifically stating they had been shortlisted had me questioning it. Others though seem to have been completely surprised by their video being uploaded, so unsure if any of them have actually had any contact with producers.
Also wondering where they will draw the line on 'content creators' or users with large followings and if it's something they want to avoid or not. We have Angleo (200k+ followers), and a couple of others with 40k+ followers as well as that guy who was on FBoy Island. A couple of them have even given instructions to their followers, saying 'every like on the video helps me get into the house'.
Perhaps this season will use socials in terms of actually voting in evictions so are gearing people up for that?
Yes, wondering if that's the instruction when auditioning. Easy to forget too in the original era of videotape auditions they literally were on videotape and from an era when not everyone had a camcorder in their pocket!
