That said, I'm going to be mildly annoyed if we find out Becky was recruited for the cast. What could possibly be the appeal?

She was. They found her on a social media website.
She told them "I'm normal/boring/basic, though" (her words when she's told the other houseguests this story). Apparently, they didn't care. They wanted a strong, physical female in the game.
Evidently, from this cast, that's what they were after for this series - strong females, and boy, have they got them. I find it quite ironic though that Becky was cast to bulk up the 'strong females' and yet she's one of the weaker players in the game.
The casting team said they listened to the fans complaints from last year and tried to cast what the fans wanted... and overall, I think they've done a good job. I can't believe this cast have managed to make Battle of the Block kind of bearable.
