The producers of "Big Brother 9" are looking for a few good -- and not terribly shy -- houseguests for the next installment of the CBS show.
The network announced Thursday that reality star hopefuls can try out for the show at casting sessions held around the country between Saturday, Nov. 17, and Saturday, Dec. 8.
In addition, applications are now being accepted online at CBS.com for the ninth installment of the reality series which will be broadcast in 2008 on dates to be announced.
Julie Chen will return as host for the show, which will once again be executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol U.S.A.

"Big Brother 9" will follow a group of strangers living together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house until at the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will win the grand prize.
Last year's final house guest, Dick Donato, won $500,000.
"Big Brother 9" will be broadcast in 2008 on dates to be announced.
