BIG BROTHER fans have accused production of impacting Season 26 outcomes to save villain Angela Murray over other players.
During Wednesday’s episode, it seemed most of the cast was gunning to give Angela the boot but fans felt the powers that be behind the scenes were working to save her and send Kenney Kelly packing.
Big Brother houseguest Kenney waxed and wained between wanting to go home and wanting to win, confusing viewers.
Producers even compiled his back-and-forth moments, adding a thumbs-down emoji on screen.
Meanwhile Cedric Hodges was working hard to get his alliances on board with sending Angela packing after he and most of the other contestants joined forces to blindside Lisa Donahue and save the Season 26 villain.
As the show played out, fans on social media speculated that producers were manipulating the Power of Veto competition to save Angela.
The Power of Veto competition called for players to attempt to maneuver glowing rods through a fake jungle setting, avoiding laser beams.
Each beam hit lowered their power percentage and put them at risk of losing.
“This Veto would be REALLY easy for the producers to manipulate a winner,” noted one commenter.
“Kenney with the Go home edit it’s like producers know Kenneys going,” pointed out a second.
“Honestly, the Big Brother producers need to just let Kenney go. Don’t let him compete. Don’t waste everybody’s time, just send him home,” urged a third.
“The producers clearly want Kenney to go home this week,” suggested a fourth fan.
“The producers are f**king done with kenney wanting to quit ijbol,” wrote a fifth.
Fans on Reddit also speculated that the show was rigged in Angela’s favor, with one writing, “The producers can easily dictate the game by manipulating the veto and the games. They have in past seasons.”
SHE’S SAFE
Fans previously speculated that the competition was rigged after Angela was once again spared from elimination.
During an August 1 episode of Big Brother, the majority of the houseguests banded together to blindside Lisa, sending her home.
Lisa thought Angela was the target that week and was stunned by her eviction from the Big Brother house.
After leaving, she sat down for an interview with Julie Chen Moonves, who suggested she was axed for being “too good” at the game.
Fans thought this assertion was wild, and noted it online.
“Why’s Julie justifying that maybe she’s gone cause she’s the better player? Angela won HOH. I’m SO confused. Is Julie in on it too? Now really wondering if this is in ANY WAY scripted or swayed,” asked one fan online.
“Okay now Julie, you’re hyping Lisa up way too much,” critiqued a second fan.
“Lol casuals Lisa was edited because the house found her annoying not because she was good at the game,” posted a third viewer.
“Lisa is 100% gagged asf in this interview…she did NOT see this coming,” another fan penned.
“I think she feels some kind of way because Angela was ‘bullying’ her so in a way Lisa could feel like they cosigned the treatment,” someone else commented.
SCHEDULE CHANGE
Fans aren’t just furious with how things are playing out in the Big Brother house.
CBS announced on Wednesday that it was tweaking the Big Brother schedule yet again.
Big Brother will air a special episode on Tuesday, August 13, bringing back past winners Jag Bains, Taylor Hale, and Cody Calafiore.
The previous houseguests will look back on big moments from Season 26.
Critics are frustrated with the change to the schedule but also with CBS airing a special so early in the season.
“Traylor’s the only person out of this line up that people care about,” one person posted in the comments of a fan-run X account sharing the news.
“Jag and Cody? Won’t be watching,” noted a second.
“Three most boring winners ever i’m snoozing,” slammed a third viewer.
“No thanks,” wrote a fourth critic.
“This season has barely started, do we really need their hot takes….? Give us a twist inside,” ordered another.
“Snoozefest,” complained someone else on X.
