My first question to Lauren was what else they asked her to do during the audition — that we can't see on the video that's online. She said, "Haha oh lord. Everything under the sun. Those people know me better than my parents."
She went on to say the published audition tapes were mere minutes out of about six hours of the first audition. They asked questions about the girls' pet peeves, the type of girl they hate the most (so they could be sure to cast some automatic enemies, obviously) and that the entire audition process was about three months long.
The structure of the show is that seven girls start out, and if a girl leaves or gets kicked out, an alternate replaces her. When Oxygen finally called Lauren with results, they asked if she thought she was going to be part of the cast or if she would be an alternate. She replied, in true Bad Girl form, that if they called her to say she was an alternate, they could go ahead and ask someone else. They told her she was part of the cast, and they'd see her in two days. So, she had a big going away party and left for LA, which was the location of Season 6.
Incidentally, Lauren first saw the show when she was 17, and told her mom she was going to be on the show someday. When she was 21, she auditioned on a lark and actually made it. So see, dreams do come true.
