They do swoop in and get them immediately after they tell them they'll be on the show. But then they take them to sequester for like a week or two before they go into the house. While in sequester they are able to what past seasons (I think most of the newbies watched Derrick's (and thus Nicole's) season).

Paul's fatal decision is just one error he made based on one of his biggest game flaws. His biggest flaw was this sense of loyalty and/or justice that he thought people are due in the game.

Him and Vic both suffered from this. That is why they were so blindsided when Corey put them on the block over James. It didn't even dawn on them that the best play for Corey & Nicole's game was to breakup them up. If they would've understood the principle of making moves that best serve your endgame, they would've targeted Corey and Nicole the week Vic was in power, instead of putting up James and Nat since Corey and Nicole were the far more dangerous players.

Paul just never seemed to grasp that loyalty only goes as far as when its in peoples best interest. The minute it is no longer in your best interest, it is time to cut the loyalty.
