It does seem like this is a last ditch effort to save this years show. It is for this reason that I think we can be optimistic that Alex M and co. are going to send in some interesting and entertaining intruders as opposed to bland and boring intruders like Leo and Marina.
I think Leo and Marina were sent in as intruders as more of a stunt factor to get ratings. I think the producers have since realised, however, that you can not rely on the novelty of sending in intruders anymore for ratings and you actually have to choose entertaining people to go in as intruders for the ratings to improve.
Vesna2005 and Zach2007 clones would have to be a very good chance of winning the show this year with no standout options presently in the house.
