For *Big Brother*, the main concern revolves around the increasing reliance on casting influencers and individuals with large social media followings, leading to accusations of prioritizing online visibility over diverse or relatable contestants. Similarly, *I’m A Celebrity* has been criticized for leaning into a similar pattern by bringing in contestants who are already media personalities, such as podcasters and reality stars, rather than a broader mix of public figures.
