Haven't they had recruits since way back in 2005?

If I remember correctly, Derek, BB6, was recruited.
As well as few others from BB8-11.

I just think on Channel 5, they rely to much on it, and cast over 50% of the housemates as recruits, or in BB15's case, 80%. Whereas, on Channel 4, it was one or two out of about twenty housemates.

Was anyone from BB13 recruited, as they had open auditions?
I heard that every housemate, bar one or two were recruits in BB14, is this true?

I agree with uniquedude, how do we know if these housemates we say are recruited have actually been recruited.
I only know the ones of BB15, who I've heard say they actually auditioned, in radio interviews.
