User blog comment:MegamanZero0002/Total Drama Season 6 theory/@comment-5899967-20140524125540

Keep in mind that Julie didn't work for Fresh tv before season 5 so basically she only knows the characters from TDAS and TDPI, which she claimed as "familiar faces". The newbies are definitely new, but we don't know if there is someone from TDRI or the first 3 seasons, because Julie doesn't know them, I don't think she watched the episodes in season 5 either.
