I actually didn't start watching until Houston, so there are a lot of contestants I'm not familiar with. The only people from seasons before Houston who I know are Bennett & Amelia (mainly because I couldn't forget that her last name is Fatsi) and I remember Chris because I heard him talk & wondered who the Barry White wannabe was. I didn't realize that some channels on Philo show old seasons. Right now I'm watching season 10, so far I find this to be a pretty likeable sincere cast.
