What's all this I'm picking up about trial runs of Big Brother? With Maxwell and Sezar and others. Why? Who? What? Where and when, please?

They put in guinea pig housematess for a week or so before the show starts just to check that the house is working eg cameras, microphones, kitchen, hot water etc.
It seems that a lot of these people tend to up on the show in later years as genuine housemates. I believe some of them have had sex in the house which the producers so desperately want to happen in the "real" show. It's rumoured that Sezer had a fling with Becki from BB5.

Does this happen every year or just the once?

Every year, I think. Most, at least.

Personally, I think that anyway involved in a trial run should automatically be disqualified from being able to go in the 'actual' show.
That way, we would actually get a group of people who have never met and would be interacting with each other for the very first time.

Equally, they should do their damnedest to make sure they haven't all been in the same group auditions.
I'm getting desperate for some kind of book or TV show to reveal the real inner workings of big brother - all the bits that we don't see. For example I remember reading about Sada (first evictee ever?) accidentally bumping into a camera man dressed like a ninja, all in black. Slip ups like that, as well as the actual practicalities of running the show 24 hours a day, would be great material to gather into one place rather than just feeding us dribs and drabs on BBLB.
