If this competition is going to be a more ongoing thing with multiple seasons, I think they might be letting average fans join the show later. Who knows.
But for this first round, inviting game changers makes perfect sense; it got to stay a surprise all the way up until the announcement, and many simmers are already familiar with at least some of them, giving us another incentive to watch it.
Personally I'm kinda looking forwards to it, especially since I already know several of these people.
Also, let me just say that I'm grateful that this will be up on Youtube as well; we're obviously not all americans here and I'm glad they considered that.
