Did you know only a certain amount of auditionees for that current year get put into the house? Big Brother saves housemates from previous auditions to go into future Big Brothers.
Many housemates know each other from the auditions such as:
Kitten, Pete and Vanessa.

Many housemates that also run in the 1 week test runs of Big Brother [to test the camera angles etc] Also go into Big Brother in future series.
For example:
Maxwell, Sezer and Becki all tested Big Brother 5
Kinga and Eugene both tested Big Brother 6
Aisleyne and Sam tested Big Brother 7
Elizabeth tested Big Brother 1
Other facts:
Marco coached Vanessa into becoming a housemate.
Makosi was found through a Talent Agency
Eugene knows Cameron and was on BBLB to support him.
Grace and Nikki worked together in a club
Nadia got to the final stages of the BB4 auditions. She appeared on GMTV telling them about it. [She was pre-op at the time and I guess they wanted her to have the change and be in BB5]
Also if you look at the golden ticket draw when the camera zooms past Susie both Nikki and Pete know her. Pete yells "I know her" and before the ball is drawn Nikki screams "14, 14, she's really nice!"
