Although, to be fair, those do seem to be a prerequisite.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm wondering if, in a future episode, it'll come out that the Dollhouse selected people beforehand and then set it up so they'd be in such a desperate situation that they'll sign up. I mean, as opposed to preying on people who are already in a desperate situation.

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, like Le Femme Nikita...hopefully without the gagarific fanfic. I like that idea, myself.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It seems like a bit too much work... they basically need pretty people in good physical condition and desperate legal or financial situations, right? Surely there are enough such people that it's easier to find them than make them.

They could also instill the desire to work out. Echo is always talking about swimming. The (non)active personality can be programmed to want to keep in shape.

but if you make one, she's not a babymama or anything that will bring drama to work.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
but if you make one, she's not a babymama or anything that will bring drama to work.
If their business plan is really long-term, having babymamas to grow their own future actives might be seen as a worthwhile investment. And still in line with the whole eeeeeeevil thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Echo is always talking about swimming. The (non)active personality can be programmed to want to keep in shape.
And there always seems to be a group in the background doing yoga. From what we saw of the guys they need something a little more hard core to explain their physiques.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hey, don't diss the gagarific fanfic. That LFN stuff Nestra used to quote remains one of the funniest things I have ever read. I was thinking earlier this week that it's a shame she seems to have ground to a halt. (Or Nestra has finally lost the will to read.)
