Big Brother executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan have given an interview three weeks into the new season, which has already brought a ton of twists and turns.
But fans might want to know about two questions in particular: if Angela is a plant and if the contestants know that President Biden dropped out of the Presidential race.

First, there’s been a rumor circulating social media that one of the contestants, Angela, might have been a production plant. Angela‘s had some huge moments, including calling out houseguests, winning Head of Household twice, and, fans also discovered she has a history on other TV shows. This has lead some to believe that she’s been put in the game by producers as a twist.
Allison responded by telling Deadline, “There are a tons of shows, but I don’t think because she was on The Price is Right and in a Dr. Phil episode makes her necessarily an actor.”
Rich added, “She hasn’t done a lot. She hasn’t done the competition reality type of show. That’s very different from a fun game show.” He also said, “She’s been so fun to watch, so unexpected. With all those things, I don’t necessarily blame people for wondering, because it’s been surprising and shocking along the way. But it is always funny, the conspiracy theories that are out there.”
Allison said the idea to plant a houseguest is a “good idea!”
They then confirmed that none of the contestants know that President Biden is no longer the democratic nominee and instead, VP Kamala Harris is now campaigning.
Rich shared, “No. If you saw [Julie Chen]’s interview with [ousted contestant] Matt, the one that was posted to social media, she told him everything that had happened from the assassination attempt to Biden dropping out of the race, and his genuine reaction was fascinating. There might be time later in the season, when we will give them a little bit of a taste in a news quiz, as to what they think might have happened. If not, they’ll hear about it on the way out.”
