A lot of them are claiming they were reached out to via LinkedIn, and that the messages didn&#8217;t stop at, &#8220;I&#8217;m married.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One person claimed: &#8220;They messaged me on instagram when they were recruiting for Seattle\u2026 I\u2019m married though so LOL. When I told them that then they asked me if I could send them profiles for any single friends and a couple of them made it fairly far in the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another wrote: &#8220;My coworker&#8217;s husband (who is gay) got recruited for the show twice! First when they were living in DC, before they got married, producers reached out to him and he was like &#8220;no, I&#8217;m gay and in a relationship&#8221;.

As a side note, my coworker thought it was hilarious and was mad his husband didn&#8217;t try to get on the show, lol.&#8221; Someone else said: &#8220;My husband got a LinkedIn message for an Austin season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve been married 10 years haha. We do live in Austin though. But yeah, they\u2019re just mass messaging people,&#8221; wrote a viewer.

I was bummed she declined. I wanted to be the secret family!&#8221; As for those getting approached, it&#8217;s common knowledge only women tend to apply, and there&#8217;s a real shortage of men applying on their own
