Got a Bunny wiggle the world needs to see? Not afraid to doona dance in front of the nation? Or just like the idea of doing nothing to get famous?
Then Big Brother wants you, with Channel 9 hitting the road for an extensive 'housemate hunt' next month.
The casting call for the revamped reality series will hit all major capital series, with filming expected to begin in late August.
Mornings co-host Sonia Kruger will front the franchise, with a brand new house set for construction at the home of the old one at Gold Coast's Dreamworld theme park.
BB executive producer Alex Mavroidakis said top of the search list were "people who have warmth, intelligence, humour and no agenda. It's the man on the street, the girl next door."
The format proved the launch pad for several media careers including radio host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald, TV commentator Pete Timbs and Logie winner Chrissie Swan.
Kruger said the reboot would see the "return of all that is good about the format - a mix of big event television, totally watchable Australians, engaging conversation and most importantly, humour."
And a final word of advice for hopefuls, says Mavroidakis: "do not try to second guess what we are look for. The truth is there is no 'Big Brother' type. Be yourself, be engaging and you might just win us - and Australia - over."
The Sydney search begins on April 29 at Penrith Panthers. For more audition details go to www.ninemsn.com.au/BigBrother.
