Important Announcement - Immediate RemovalHello Houseguests,
Please continue to pay attention to Moolissaw as you navigate through the latest Jigsaw trap. I still wanted to post this now before we officially enter this new round.
https://bbq12.forumotion.com/t1-welcome-message-rulesThese are the rules & we have made them quite clear. We also warned each & everyone of you on numerous occasions during the casting process that it was forbidden to pre game with anyone. We do not take that lightly at all and in this case, it is grounds for expulsion.
Let me explain what production has uncovered & let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks they can pull a fast one on us. We do see a lot more than we let on when you're on the forum, like your IP address for instance. I personally never really look at it unless I have a reason to want to look at it. 2 Houseguests gave me a reason to look & it made a few pieces of the puzzle fall into place.
First Sign: 2 players went inactive randomly, within the same hour & have not been back since. I tried to contact one of them on Twitter, I see them active, but nothing. They were already on the edge of being removed for not being active for 48 hours, but that 48 hour mark would only happen after the POV tonight, so with the added information we have, we decided to remove them now.
Second Sign: We already compared who followed who pre season, but we didn't want to just assume people would cheat or pre game, so we gave people the benefit of the doubt. These are 2 Twitter users I am not familiar with & coincidently they only follow each other from people I know.
Third Sign: When we realized this, I had the thought to go look at the IP addresses. I would never show anyone's IP addresses publicly, but Moolissaw & Billy can both vouch that we have found that these 2 players posted from the same IP address on more than 40 occasions. This could mean they live together or are the same person, but either way it's sketchy.
Last Sign: Now this is something that confused me when I first saw it, but now with everything mentioned above, it makes a lot more sense. After the last HOH, Michelle was making some weird comments. I was about to warn her in private, but she seemed to understand when I posted publicly asking if she was good. What didn't make any sense to me at the time was why Tyler apologized as if he were Michelle & then add that random edit.
We also noticed this in their one on one private room today while we were investigating. Might be nothing, but it seemed peculiar.
To recap, it looks like the people behind Michelle & Tyler know each other in real life or are the same person. Judging by the post in the HOH thread, it would appear that when Tyler made that mistake, they got scared & have never logged in since. Honestly I found the comment weird then but it was such a crazy night that it flew over my head at the time.
I am posting all these details to show you just how much we can see & to show that we're not dumb, we do our homework, we keep an eye on things & we see patterns.
Michelle has already been evicted, but I am announcing that Tyler is also officially removed from the game. If you have any questions, you can ask on this thread of contact us privately.
I hope the rest of you are having fun. Congratulations Final 18!!!!
