I know for a fact that several of this years HM's are finalists from last year and did audition through the regular channels. So are we saying then that this means bb11 was also fake?

If you can provide me with prof of this then I will be done with Big Brother on c5 and regard "my BB" to be offically dead and buried. But if all you can say is that you think they are fake and half of them are models...well then you haven't watched much Big Brother have you?

I think what most people here are saying (correctly) is that almost all the HM's this season have been paid or wish to be paid models, actors or are working/studying/applying to be in some kind of professional 'entertainment' field. They all have 'Agents' BEFORE they applied to BB.
This is their 'field' BEFORE entering the house.

In other news: Some have suspected HMs are being prepped with 'scripts' and are playing 'characters' INSIDE the house itself.

Here is what I'm seeing: They are all wannabe models, presenters, actors and Nuts Magazine issues for sure. They are not 'prepped' on what to say or told to do 'acting' or given 'plotlines' either.
Instead, I believe we have reached a strange point where there are entirely unwritten understandings about how each HM will want to 'invent their character' and play it.
I believe they even know what (and when) to say certain things their 'characters' would say and do.
I believe they have become sophisticated enough they know what kinds of 'plots' are going to work best and while they do not actually conspire and plan these on paper - they simply 'play into' the whole idea.

Not only that but I do believe Big Brother does 'push' them in direction if only by encouragement or insinuations. I imagine an example is simply priming up (for example) Aden about being the 'bashful boy' to Pamela Anderson and harping it up favourably.
Aden is then aware this 'character' of his is winning screentime and ratings and simply plays into that direction.

But I don't believe there is specific 'lines' and I believe they simply play exaggerated characters of themselves as they believe works best for the stories.
And this now includes being able to play the one who is the 'real one' or play the one who 'doesnt care how they look' etc. This includes two 'bitch characters' having unsaid understandings that playing rivals is good for either of them.

But yes - almost every single HM in there was, at least, pursuing some kind of career aspiration in some kind of media fields and had their own agents BEFORE applying.
