BobDawg (Survivor Panama: Exile Island) is claiming this on another board.

He is apparently giving alot of supposed inside information.

Several in the paset have said they were recruited.  They are just trying to have good eye candy.  Wonder if it says soemthign in the applications that they may recruit also.  If nto I can see someone sueing soon saying they have tried and got bumped for a model or something.

Yeah it makes me wonder why even try out...becoming more like a casting for a scripted series and less chance of your average joe getting on unless that is what the 'role' they are casting for.

We have (at least I have) noticed a lot more models/actors/photogenic people being cast lately.
What exactly do they mean by recruited? Someone approached them, without them trying out?

That's my understanding.

Some of the BB contestants were cast due to their frequency to Mike "Boogie's" bar in LA.

in past seasons there were a couple that said they were approached then told to make a video.
