Oprah is under fire today for hating the handicapped, according to Google Trends. Yes, strange we know. Oprah has been holding video auditions for the next reality show star, awarding whoever earns the most votes, their own reality show. Zach Anner, a man with Cerebral Palsy had suggested hosting a travel show for people who may have difficulty with mobility – and had a huge lead in votes for an entire week. See his audition video. However, in the span of 20 minutes, a contestant named Dr. Phyllis scored more than 300,000 votes, suddenly taking the lead and prompting the rumor that Oprah’s contest is rigged.
Anner is a former University of Texas student and has hosted television shows in the past.

Why would Oprah rig it? Anyone who knows how to use vote bots could have rigged it.

That’s some crap, I actually LIKE Zach, if Oprah things this isn’t gonna be noticed she’s wrong

Also worth noting, Zach’s votes are apparently being deleted.

Of course Oprah is rigging the poll. This whole poll is a fraud. The choice has already been made before the poll even started.

Zach is not the only one to suffer from questionable voting — Kristi was making great progress and was in 12th place until a voting “glitch” froze votes from posting. Somehow though, about 15 people surpassed her while her votes remained frozen for a few days and their’s remained frozen for only a few hours. Among those who “jumped” ahead was Dr. Phyllis. http://myown.oprah.com/audition/index.html?request=video_details&response_id=2020&promo_id=1
