Just because they have crossed the perimeter fence, don't expect the contestants to be disappearing from your screens anytime soon.

Nine Network Director Of Development Adrian Swift said there had been more companies interested in Tahan Lew-Fatt than any other housemate "by far".
The fiery, outspoken 24-year old wasn't always the most-liked in the house but her honest opinions and personality saved her from a record number of evictions.
The second runner-up was supposed to start a job in the public service on Monday, but has postponed her start date as she gets caught up in the Big Brother whirlwind.
Now that she's out in the real world once more, Tahan said the best part has been reuniting with her V8 Supercar Driver boyfriend David Reynolds.
"It has been a bit emotional," she said, fondly patting her beau's arm after he arrived to pick her up from the brunch. "It still is."
Mr Reynolds said: "We had a moment last night looking back at some of the footage. That's just her, that's what I love about her: she shows her passion.
"She's so gorgeous. I sound pathetic but when she left me to go on the show my life became very boring."
Their love has grown following the 100-day forced separation. Tahan's hardest day in the house came when she could hear her boyfriend but not see him.
"The V8s were on down the road on the Gold Coast,'' Tahan said. "We could her the PA and the engine's rumbling. I was so excited and I got butterflies in my stomach. I also realised how much I missed him.''
That just happened to be the race Dave won. His debut V8 victory.
"I am shattered I wasn't there,'' Tahan said. "But you can bet I will be there for his next win. For every one of his wins.''
