FACT CHECK: Did Big Brother Season 25 Episode 16 Have Any Foul Play?

on the chopping block. Jared Fields, the head of the household, replaced Cam with Jag and had plans to send Red home.

After a live voting and eviction session, Red went home by attaining eight votes out of ten, and Jag received two votes as well. Blue, America, Matt, Cirie, Izzy, Cory, and Felicia voted for Red, while Cam and Bowie tried to vote out Jag.

However, the session has suddenly sparked controversy as fans consider the results to be rigged.

Did Big Brother Season 25 Episode 16 Have Any Foul Play?

There have been no official reports of a mistake in the counting. However, fans think that Red did not receive as many votes as included in the episode. Fans believe that Cory never said Red’s name judging from his lip movement, and CBS dubbed his dialogue later.

Some fans claim that the way Cory said the name did not look like he was saying ‘Red’; it seemed like the voice was later recorded and added to the scene.

It’s important to note that even if Corey had voted for Jag, the outcome would have been the same as Red had received an overwhelming number of votes for eviction. Corey’s vote was not a decisive factor.

The incident has led many to question CBS’s intent behind the edit as well as the authenticity of the so-called ‘live’ episodes. It is not Red’s ousting that is under debate but rather the transparency of the show.

This has called for greater alarm in the fandom as everyone is curious about what CBS is trying to stage within the household.

In the midst of people demanding answers from CBS, a piece of information regarding Cory’s past came to light. Cory’s brother, Zach Wurtenberger, revealed that he had a speech impediment as a kid and had difficulty pronouncing ‘R’s. The addition of this detail cleared the fog for those who have been doubtful of CBS’ editing.

CBS has not revealed any official statement addressing the controversy yet. So until the next episode premieres and things are cleared by Cory himself, the dust on the debate is unlikely to settle down.

You can stream Big Brother 25 on FuboTV, Paramount+, and Pluto TV. So far, it has received 16 episodes, with a few more to come.

So, get ready for more and more eliminations and controversies as the show progresses, and comment below if you, too, think Cory did not nominate Red.
