From next week, the cast reveals will happen during The Project.
UPDATE 28/11: the first contestant revealed during The Project is writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law who was in Heroes tribe.
The next contestant revealed tonight, also in Heroes tribe, is filmmaker and director Rogue Rubin.
P.S. It seems like that the announcement isnāt posted on social media until 10pm AEDT, after the contestant has been revealed on The Project in WA, due to time difference.
Benjamin Law? Really? Is there any every day people this season?
Next contestant revealed is journalist and former Real Housewife of Melbourne, Anjali Rao.
Really donāt think this strategy of revealing them one or two at a time does the show any favours. Nobody is watching the shows to see the reveals, and usually with casting you need to see how it fits together as a whole rather than the individualas. Itās also been going on for weeks - different if they revealed 4 or 5 a night for a week, but seems to be 2-4 revealed a week.

Is this season just ācelebritiesā and ex-contestants? Where are the everyday people, the fans and players of the gameā¦
I really donāt like that every reality show these days is just becoming ācelebrityā versions by default.

No. Itās all returneeās and D-grade celebs. Same formula theyāve done for many seasons now.
Weāve had 2 champion vs Contenders seasons (i.e. half casts of D- grade celeb). An All Stars season. Blood vs Water sprinkled with both returneeās and D-grades too.
Now itās another season with half returneeās and half D-grades. 
Of the last few Australian seasons the only one that I was really into and enjoyed was Brain vs Brawn. And whilst it was still had with a handful of D-grade names, the reason it was so good was because it was a mostly new and fresh cast.

Didnāt they do a casting call after last season? I guess all those applicants wasted their time if they are only using past contestants and casting agency D listers.

Not sure why the network / production company keep persevering with this same casting method and stunt tactic - itās clearly not what audiences want to see.
Surely they canāt be blinded by the fact that by doing this theyāre driving away fans who are / were heavily invested in the show and decreasing the longevity of the series overall.
Simple is best, go back and stick to basics.

Lots of creativity in casting by 10. All either ācelebritiesā or returnees who weāve all had enough of by now
