1. Ah Lads… you gotta include the Irish! We were just lovely to the Queen 😉
   Mind you, don’t think I would apply… but looking forward to seeing it when it’s all filmed 🙂
2. Who is this Phillis who keeps answering questions? Surely that goes against what Derren posted about him or Anyone else not answering any!! :o)

   – He meant the show (I keep the wheels turning on the site here when 20,000 of you turn up in 2 hours) – P.
3. Derren, how about you come to Chicago, IL here in the U.S to do one of your TV shows. I would most def. be down for it! Or just come down and have a book signing or one of your regular shows!
4. It would be an experience of a lifetime! Tres excited at the prospect! Hope I can fill the Questionaire in as the first hurdle!! Ha Ha
5. I keep trying to send an email, but I just keep getting “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)” on hotmail..
   Is it because the server is still overloaded, or just my mail?

   – Try in an hour or two. You’ve got a few days still. – P.
6. noooo I keep getting error messages! When does this close? Can I apply later? Or should I wait until tomorrow?

   – You have a few days 🙂 – P.
7. I wish I was older.. Love all your work Derren! 14 is a bit young just to lie about your age and hope its okay right xD
   Hope it all goes well, although I’m too young to take part..
   I have a Svengali fund I’m saving for next year in my mug 🙂
8. Just wondering, I’ve got the questionnaire, but how am I meant to put my signature on the bottom of it to email it back to you on a computer?

   – Sign it and take a photo on your phone and email that with it 🙂 – Phillis
9. Can’t wait for questionaire. Hoping I am chosen!
10. hi ive tried emailing the email address given quite a few times and keep getting this response:

    This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

    Delivery to the following recipients failed.

    help please?? xxxxx

    – Try tonight then let us know – Phillis
11. Hi,

    I have sent an email in and i got the following reply

    This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

    Delivery to the following recipients failed.

    derrenbrown@objectiveproductions.com
12. hi, is there a questionaire i really really want to apply.
13. Wow, can’t wait to try my luck! Deliveries failing still but I’ll try back later 🙂
14. LETS SEE WHAT THIS Q-AIR IS ALL ABOUT! then i will make up my mind for whether i would like to be humiliated lol
15. ha what a surprise, Hotmail postmaster failure! this does not surprise me in the least!
16. Hi Phillis – my only concern is the response I am receiving is..
    :
    85.158.136.3 does not like recipient.
    Remote host said: 550-Invalid recipient
    550 (#5.1.1)
    Giving up on 85.158.136.3.

    ie, it is as if the email address is not liked as opposed to the amount of mail you are receiving? Or should I just try again in a few hours!?!

    – Yes just try later, late at night or even tomorrow – you still have a few days – P.
17. ok i may of been a bit slow on the uptake but i think i get it now……… my head hurts all this thinking.
18. Oww i’m 18 or over, am gutted 🙁 good luck all xx
19. Phillis, i am concerned that I’m not getting a reply apart from a delivery status notification 🙁

    – Try again at 6.30PM today – P.
20. I completed my questionnaire and have sent it 6 times but it keeps bouncing back – Grr
21. Hey, and es i’m sure most people are already very excited and if not nauseaus at the idea of being part of your show 🙂 I’m deffinatly one of them haha 😀
22. Two of my friends got the questionnaire through, i am unable to after 20+ attempts. Would it be fine to just get it from them and email it off or is there some minor significance to the original e-mail?

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
23. I’ve sent off twice and no reply, no questionnare 🙁

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
24. So far I have tried 60 times, still going 🙂

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
25. Sorry to have another question, but what email address do we email it back to?

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
26. At this rate im gonna end up with a flat finger lol

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
27. @Phillis – Emails are returning undelivered, looks like the SMTP server mailgate.objectiveproductions.com has stopped accepting email for the given email address. Is the server overloaded or has the address been retracted to overwhelming response?

    – It’s over at Objective where we don’t have access. I think they’ve moved the email over to another server and should be up and running by 6.30pm. Normally response isn’t quite THIS high. Thanks for being patient. – Phillis
28. It’s not working. Google keeps bouncing the email without sending it. Has your server melted yet?

    – It’s very sweaty – keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
29. Phillis, can I just send a photo of my signature or should I print the questionnaire, sign it, scan it and send it back like that?

    – Phone a friend (with a printer) – try again at 6.30PM – Phillis
30. I wish I was 18!! only got to wait till November! 🙁 x
31. Phillis this is killing us xx

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
32. i soo wish i was over 18! :/
33. It’s got to the point now where Hotmail think I’m spamming Derren and ask me to enter captchas XD

    Tried about thirty times but keep getting the delivery failure email. I’m no expert but I’m guessing his poor inbox is so crammed that it just can’t cope.

    We’ve been told we’ve a couple of days so either leave it and try again later on, or try first thing in the morning, when everyone’s forgotten 🙂

    GOOD LUCK!!
34. Darn im 15 i still would do it tho if i could. dam those age restrictions!!!!!
35. What do we do about the signature?

    – Try taking a picture of your signature and emailing it to your computer, or photograph your signed copy and send it with it – Phillis
36. I’m not even sure what is happening… I email, I get no reply with Questionnaire… Is this a test, or is it just a struggling email system? is this supposed to be happening? is it planned? who knows. I’m just going to sit back, and let the games begin. Even if I’m not picked, I’ll still be glad that I manned up and pressed ‘Send Mail’. I feel butch now.

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
37. i’d absolutely LOVE to be exposed to your freaky jedi mind tricks!
38. I am a big fan øf yours derren brown.:)x
39. Can I apply from Ireland if I’m willing to travel?

    – UK Residents only I’m afraid. 🙁 – Phillis
40. Hey, I sent mine 5 hours ago and got no questionaire as yet…should I sent it again or is that just massively unhelpful?

    love,love 🙂

    – Keep an eye on the updates 🙂 – Phillis
41. I am not in the UK but it is my dream to be a part of one of your series! I live it the US please bring one of your shows here so I can take place!

    Matt
42. I’m 18 in October, can I still take part? 🙂

    – You can apply – Phillis
43. Still jammed, can’t believe i’m nearly in tears over such an opportunity. I hope I at least get to fill a questionnaire out!

    – You have several days to apply – if you still can’t get through in a few days I’ll sort out an alternate addy for those struggling – Phillis
44. Phillis: is the fact that people’s emails keep failing something that is ‘fixable’? 🙂 I REALLY want to apply!!

    – Applications will be kept open for several days, everyone will get a chance we promise. – Phillis
45. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is going on?! Im too impatient!

    – A build up of chemicals in your amygdala is causing your frontal cortex to work over time, much like the servers at Objective right now. A long bath and a cup of tea will sort it all – Phillis
46. Hi, I know there are loads of messages about not getting the questionnaire but most seem to be recent ones with delivery failures. I sent my email about five minutes after the blog post was made but haven’t received anything – neither questionnaire nor failure report. Should I try again later or do you think something will eventually arrive?

    Thanks
    Louise

    – Keep an eye on the updates – Phillis
47. why does it not work? RAGE!

    – try at a later time when it’s quieter – I’m sure you’ll get through we are receiving lots of applicants but there is a limit as to how much can come in at once. – Phillis
