The producers want normal humans, not actors. That’s right—you cannot have a headshot or a SAG card. They want your aunt who shouts at the telly, your mate who’s “just a bit too good at Monopoly,” and you—someone who might accidentally accuse the literal priest of murder. Age? They don’t care, as long as you’re over 18. In fact, the show loves mixing up pensioners, influencers, and that one guy who still owns a flip phone. Surprising fact: the oldest contestant so far was 72. She nearly won by just nodding a lot.
You also need to be available for up to four weeks of filming. That’s roughly the same amount of time it takes to grow a succulent from seed, or to fully recover from watching season two’s finale. So clear your calendar, cancel your dentist appointment, and prepare to “work” zero days a year. It’s a weird job, but someone’s got to do it.
