Why would anybody even be thinking about reality show auditions 2015 when there is so much going on in this Olympic year? Not only does Britain host the greatest show on earth, but there is also the Queens Diamond Jubilee to look forward to in 2012.
Let's face it, there are another three years before anybody needs to think about Big Brother or X Factor, and the rest, in 2015.
Or is it? If you have any interest in any one of these shows, you will need to be aware of the criteria for applying for any particular show.
Most importantly, you will need to know the age criteria, which could be the key factor.
Some of these productions have a minimum age of sixteen, some eighteen and others as high as twenty-one.
So plan well ahead.
Should you be preparing now for your foray into the world of reality television? Yes, you should if you want any chance at all.
Let us consider Big Brother as an example.
It is a well-known fact that last year's winner, Aaron Allard Morgan, was a huge fan of the show.
He had watched every one of them from the beginning, and many said he knew exactly what it took to win.
He appeared to know how to push both the public's and most importantly his fellow contestants' buttons.
Brian Belo, the 2007 winner, was also an enthusiast of the show, who, it is said, even recorded it.
The key then is preparation, and you cannot start too early.
No matter what show it is you are thinking of applying for, put the work in now and you will stand a better chance when the time comes.
Start by looking at all the reality shows on television today.
Make a list of those your interest lies in and for which you will be eligible in thirty-six months' time.
Narrow down this list to your top two or three, and make these your mission.
You now have the whole of the next three years to watch and learn exactly what it takes to make a popular and successful contestant.
Learn how the winners in one year compare to the next; compare their strategies.
Look for similarities in the way they play the game.
Make notes, so you do not forget next year what you discovered in this year.
People will tell you that you cannot act your way through the whole series.
It is probably true.
However, by doing your homework now, you can be as ready as is humanly possible for the reality show auditions 2015, and your chance of stardom.
