Last year’s season 26 of Big Brother was one of the best in the show’s history – I’m a fan – thanks almost entirely to an incredible cast. CBS has the reality show game down pat, with the three-headed monster of Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race still pulling in network ratings after decades on air.

Many contestants have turned into stars over the years, and you could be next.

Big Brother is holding an open casting call on Sunday, April 6. The show’s host, Julie Chen-Moonves, announced the call this morning. It’s set to be held at the Grotto at Grandscape from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Big Brother is an annual reality TV and competition show in which 16 strangers spend a summer living in the same house, competing in challenges and voting out one person each week.

Last season’s cast included North Texas mom and pageant queen Brooklyn Rivera, whose villainous antics (trashing fellow houseguest’s rooms and successfully blaming someone else for it) made for an early but fiery exit from the show.

The casting call is free and open to anyone. There’s no telling who’s gonna show up for these things, but we hope for an entertaining Dallas representative in the house next season. Might we make some suggestions?

Mayor Eric Johnson
In Big Brother, sometimes you have to betray your alliance. We’re only a year and change from his shocking heel turn, switching parties from Democrat to Republican. He was made for the show.

Dezi 5
The obvious choice, Dezi is the man behind the Dallas Entertainment Awards, last year’s spectacular funk album Dirty Laundry, hundreds of DJ nights and too many other gigs to count. We can already imagine how his confessionals would go, and we’re seeing viral clips galore.

Nico Harrison
We’re not saying we’d relish the sight of the Mavericks’ general manager, the man responsible for trading Luka DonÄić to the Lakers, getting booted off the show and losing a shot at the Big Brother title and $750,000 prize, but we’re not not saying that. Karma sometimes is sweet.
