Let's take a look at all of the recruits that have been on Big Brother. At least those that we know of. Some have won the game. Others have been evicted first. But it's an interesting idea, placing some houseguests into the house who really don't even know what the show is about.
Some of my sources may be incorrect and I certainly was not able to find EVERY person that was recruited for the show, but I tried my best.
Thank you so much for 1,000 subscribers, it means the world to me.

Pinning this because I want to clarify: It is totally okay if your favorite season is BB16 or if your favorite houseguest is Jeff Schroeder. The reason I said those in particular is because oftentimes, recruits have only seen the seasons that production gives them to watch in sequester. BB16 is ALWAYS one of the seasons that are given in sequester, so when 5 people are saying that BB16 is their favorite season and are not showing signs of knowing much else about the show, it's a pretty big indicator that they haven't really watched the show before and are going based off of what production gave them, leading me to believe that they were recruited. Similarly, Jeff Schroeder does the preseason interviews and is one of the more well known people from Big Brother that recruited players may have known of outside of the show, so he's an easy answer for them to pick as their favorites if they don't know too many players. I did not mean to call out a bunch of people by calling them fake fans for liking BB16 or liking Big Jeff lol, your favorite season could be BB19 for all I care, because if that’s what you enjoy I’m happy for it Also I was wrong and Analyse was not recruited

I definitely believe recruits are necessary in many cases. You can’t just cast a bunch of super fans who know the game inside and out. Sometimes, you need a more fresh selection of people who can play from the ground up, and offer something that the veterans can’t.

Derek X didn’t apply for survivor. He had a friend on Instagram who reposted a casting call for BB because they were looking for an Asian male slot to fill (to satisfy CBS’s new diversity quota). He reached out to the producer via Instagram abs the rest is history. Christian originally applied for Love Island, but he was swapped to BB23 after Garrett, the person he replaced, had to drop out. Whitney isn’t a recruit, but Travis indeed was.

I'm fine with recruits, but a step in the right direction would be to stop presenting them to us as if they were fans; I think that's what produces a lot of the eye-rolls pre-season. They could be open about their status as a recruit and treat them accordingly. Basically, there's no need to have them tell us their favorite season is BB16 and say they're going to play like Donny. You can ask them questions that are more pertinent to what a recruit who doesn't watch the show would be thinking, like "what about BB from what you've heard is most exciting to you?", or "of XYZ skills we tell you are important in the game, which are you most/least confident in for yourself?" or something like that. Advertise more of the exciting aspect of somebody who doesn't know what they're getting into describing their hopes, dreams and expectations, which people in the know will look at in contrast to what they're actually going to get.

The sheer fact that he was the only returning houseguest in 19, they gave him safety for the first 4 evictions in 19, and they put a cutout of his face in the fish tank in 20 completely proves he was production's favorite. In fact if you were looking up the season in the tv guide, Paul's name was listed like he was an actor in the show. No one else's name was listed. I don't even think Julie's name was there.

Idk how well it would work for Big Brother, but for Survivor this would especially be perfect.. I want an ENTIRE season of recruits-only, preferably all people who have never seen the show. I think that's the closest we would ever possibly get to an "old-school season" now. It would just be fun watching people trying to figure it out all over again lol and it would be so unpredictable. When you have nothing but superfan game bots, you basically know what they're going to do. But with people who have no idea what they're doing.. anything could happen lol

The problem with recruits is that they can be entertaining on the show but in the end they rarely win because they don’t know how to play the game. Which is frustrating to me because there has to be over 1,000,000 bb fans in the US who would love to play and get passed up for recruits !?!

Well the thing is, the show exists to be watched, get good ratings and make money for CBS, not to cater to the desires of the fans. I'm sure there are tens of thousands of, maybe hundreds of thousands of fans who love BB and apply or would love to be on the show. But it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those people are concentrated to a few archetypes of cast members. It also wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those people would be bad TV. The show's casting is at its best when its a mixture of both fans and recruits to help fill the gaps and diversify the cast with the type of players who would be harder to get going strictly from applicants.

Caleb was probably the second best recruit of BB16 gamewise and I just got carried away and generalized his game style, I just think his game was very heavily based on loyalty and a lot of the time he was loyal to a fault to the wrong people and that cost him

No hate was meant to be given lol I tried explaining it earlier, but recruits who are unfamiliar with the show typically only watch what’s given to them in sequester by production, which ALWAYS consists of BB16, so it can be a dead giveaway when a bunch of houseguests say BB16 is their favorite season and then know next to nothing about the show
