Does anyone know how they got 5 sets of ex-couples without either person knowing what was going on? This really has me confused?

Maa!

I take it you have watched ep1?

The producers likened their tactics to be CIA like.

Judging by the feeds only Scott/Amanda (mainoly Scott) thought something was fishy. Justin was talking just the other day how he was 'got' really bad. It obviously shook Allison up too. Erica and Robert barely speak to eachother and i think they would nominated eachother if they got to be HoH.

The producers make no secret of the fact that some of the hamsters over the last couple of years have been recruited - Last year's winner, Lisa Donahue, was spotted while tending bar by a casting agent, and was "encouraged to apply." Same thing with Chiara Berti.

So, based on what we've seen from the interviews and them talking about the selection process, we know that they've been asked about their relationship history, presumably under the guise of building a psych profile. We know that they supply lists of their closest friends, for stuff like interviews back home and to be invited to eviction night. If the ex's identity was in question after the interviews, the friends could probably fill in the blanks.

From there, you can imagine some pretty cloak-and-dagger stuff, staking out the ex so that they can be nonchalantly approched in public by a casting agent, just like Lisa and Chiara, without being any the wiser why they were singled out, just "I think you have a look..."

Cheers for that.

Interesting, I must say. Haven't seen any of it yet, as I'm UK and haven't signed up for the feeds, but once our BB finishes we should be getting the US one.

Thanks again, i'm looking forward to seeing it!
