Bree leaned back in her chair, her legs carelessly splayed out in front of her as she tapped on the desk with her pen.
"I'm just saying, if you chuck in all single people... well... you know, you might get some action," Fryzie spoke up, perusing through the shortlists.
"I have to admit," Bree started. "That's a pretty good point. I mean, the interaction can get a lot less innocent, which means, hey, better ratings."
Beanie nodded, skimming through the pages of applicants. "Outgoing people would definitely make it more interesting. I mean, come week 5, when most of the big personalities are gone, it starts to die down a bit."
"You want all big personalities basically... no flying under the radar, it just won't be cool," Mike agreed. "Like, I've been working with the Australian BB for like 5 years now, and towards the end, you need interesting people, you really do."
"Intruders too." Fryzie nodded.
"Well, I like these so far..." Beanie said, arranging the polaroids and forms in a line across the table. "From the LA auditions, Keahi Keakealani. She was pretty innocent, and chucking her in a house and taking away all control... that'll make it interesting for her. Jacob Murray. And Skye Fowler. Come on, throwing in a porn star, that's gonna rock a few boats. And plus, her power is Attraction. Might spice it up."
"Lucinda," Fryzie put in. "She was awesome, really fun and sweet, someone who I bet the boys will want to shag and the girls will either love her or hate her. This year is gonna be contraversial."
Bree laughed. "It's gonna shock the panties off a lot of the housemates."
"Exactly," Mike said, grinning. "Conflict and confrontation, it's what the audience wants."
"New York... Matthew Thompson... he seems fun and really laid back, will probably click with just about everyone. Scotte Wilson, the band guy. And the mother/daughter combo. We're sending those two in and they have to keep the rest of the housemates in the dark for a week, and if they fail at that task, they will automatically be up for eviction. That's Karen and Krystal Hughes," Beanie explained.
"Ebony Camberwell in Sydney. Her power is invisibility. You know, we're gonna have to give them guidelines. Because she can't spend the whole time invisible, it wouldn't be fair, or... very entertaining," Bree mused. "Kiara Ellis too. Topless dancer. Will raise a few eyebrows and she might clash hard with the porn star. Tim McWalters, he was so smart and funny and charming. He'll raise the intelligence level of the house."
Mike snorted. "Ok, so... Dale Hewitt in London. Jamie Hatton, he was good fun."
"So is that 14?" Mike asked.
"Yep," Bree answered. "So, we go about contacting and lock down, right?"
"Ok, well, we'll make the calls tomorrow, get them into lockdown in May, give them time to let family and employers know," Beanie said, pushing his chair back.
