Those VT's that the others were shown e.g. Sam talking a lot about Ryan and Jason roasting Charlie made me skeptical. It was obviously the producers fishing for drama.

If you were truly aware of the show you should not bring up any names during the audition or lockdown process. The producers always seem to try and bring people's exes or old connections to spark conflict, it's never organic these days.

I know that years ago in BB Aus, they would have housemates list the names of their exes, family members, friends etc, so that way producers could see if anyone they knew were also auditioning by matching their names with other application forms, so if they wanted to put two enemies or former partners in the house it would be done through the normal housemate auditions and not through recruiting which seems a bit stalkerish.
