Whether the production team and others choose them or whether the outgoing CBB housemates does cannot make much difference as to who goes in in reality.

I don't know, don't think I mind who makes the choices from the list really.

Agree. Based on the OP's idea: it wouldn't be random - those potential hms that the celebs would be picking from, will have been sifted and have been chosen as having made the grade anyway - the only thing the CBB hms would be doing is making a selection from those the auditioning team/crew would have been marking as hms anyway.

All the celebs would be doing is deciding on a bunch of auditionees that have already been whittled down by the auditioning team as being right for taking part - all the hard work will have been done: the celeb would pick from those who have been considered to be the best candidates after all the sifting process.

I don't see it a big deal if that happened tbh.
