lara24 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Just wondered if anyone has been told they have been selected for the new series of WDU? We applied but didn't really expect to hear anything, I seem to remember they were filming early in the new year.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoanna Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I got through the first process, and then I had to fill in this long questionnaire, and never heard back so I just presumed that I didn't get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara24 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 We did the questionnaire too, sent photos etc but not heard anything since. Think we maybe don't have enough conflict in the family to be chosen......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please apply in the first instance:err: We filled out the forms, sent the pictures etc and DID hear back but only to confirm that our application had not succeeded to the next stage maybe based on the following? 1, yet to tell them..... 2, no kids or nightmare ex's 3, we love the hot weather although fair skinned, mid 50's in India was not an issue 4, does a record collection count? There are 5000 of them? 5, we are well travelled......could loose our passports I suppose? 6, that's normal, seriously they wanted to know a lot about funds 7, I've got hairy armpits so 1/2 way there......I am a bloke though!

Davo1 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi, I applied this time last year and if I recall correctly, they contacted me in December or January for a Skype interview and then I heard late January that I was successful... So you may still hear something yet. I hope you do. Although its awful being filmed and I can only worry how it will be edited (!!) it was a great experience to see Australia! Good Luck!

starlight7 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I guess for most people it is just a free trip to Oz- willing to bet very few actually emigrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellers and Whitehead Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I guess for most people it is just a free trip to Oz- willing to bet very few actually emigrate. I'm sure they still have to pay for own flights..sure I read this, the prog helps with finding houses/areas etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Davo, defo not had a rejection e-mail yet so we may still be in the running. Oh just noticed you are from the same neck of the woods as us. We are in Inverurie......... Let us know when your show is due to be aired - will look forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in inverurie until November this year! Just sold our house and moved back to live with relatives to save for our move! Our show is on 17th Jan - embarrassed about it and some people are cynical that people just use it and do not move but that is not the case for us. Although it was awful being filmed at times, it has allowed us to decide finally to make the move and moved forward our plans by at least 12 months. After the show (we were in Qld in April) I sat my IELTS, we applied for our 175 visa (which was granted in Sept), have sold our house and began searching for jobs. We leave early Sept - loads still to do but looking forward to the challenge. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben and Pea Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My Brother in law is down to the final group of people. He got interviewed on the phone and then they came to his house in December. He said they were down to the final 20 or so couples so not looking good for those that haven't heard yet!

We never really thought we had a chance anyway, like I said not enough drama in our family to make interesting TV. Looking forward to the new series, I noticed it starts next week. Good luck to you BIL, hope they make the final selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
