The Invaders On February 13, 2012, Alessia Marcuzzi communicated to viewers that, from that moment on, three former housemates (with the title of "Invaders") would re-enter in the competition with the aim of hindering the path of the current competing housemates towards final victory, namely, Patrick Ray Pugliese (GF4), Cristina Del Basso (GF9) and Ferdinando Giordano (GF10); in fact, they entered the 17th week of this edition.
Initially a "second wave" of "Invaders" was planned for the next episode (i.e. for the 18th week), but then the idea was dropped due to the refusal to participate (due to previous work commitments) of the four former housemates contacted by Endemol Italia. The housemates called to take part in the competition were Roberto Mercandalli (GF 8), the couple made up of Veronica Ciardi and Sarah Nile (GF 10) and George Leonard (GF10).
