I suppose that is a possibility but will the public believe these are random people rather than those who audition?
Where I was coming from with the original was how the housemates didn't know if anyone was watching the show. They had no idea of the popularity. Anyone going in there now and in the future will have that knowledge the original housemates lacked.
Also from my viewing angle I was new to the house as were the housemates. I watched with mixed feelings of wonderment and excitement, not knowing how it was all going to end.
I don't recall ever feeling the original housemates were playing for the cameras and the typical sob story that happens so often now on reality shows.
