Screenshots claim Oprah is rigging votes against Zach Anner on her website

Update: It's not Oprah rigging the contest -- Racist 4Chan is responsible for fixing votes in Oprah contest against Dr. Phyllis

The latest online buzz accuses Oprah of rigging votes against Zach Anner, a truly delightful and funny man with cerebral palsy (the sexiest of the palsies, jokes Zach) who dreams of having his own travel show.

Fans who've followed the Oprah reality show 'Your OWN Show' contest casting call results very closely noticed how Dr. Phyllis moved ahead suddenly, and some even grabbed screenshots.

On EpicPonyz.com, Dr. Phyllis is shown with over 3.88 million views while Zach sits at around 3.5 million views.

The image below that one shows the "Zach's Audition" page on Oprah's website at 724,067 views and 3,459,236 votes -- fewer votes and fewer views, but the time stamp in the corner read 19:07 -- or 7:07 p.m., two minutes later.

So either the Oprah website has a glitch, or the screenshots are the work of Photoshopped conspiracy-creating theorists.

Or, the option that would be truly horrid, Oprah or someone at her company is trying to rig the vote, which wouldn't make much sense -- because why have a voting show if you're gonna rig it?

People who've read Kitty Kelley's Oprah bio, however, have been privy to details about the talk show queen that her every day viewers may not be about Oprah's hidden persona.

Interesting.

Hopefully the contest will end up fair and square.

Watch Zach's funny audition on Oprah's website.

    Zach cheated, It’s unfortunate however that the votes were rigged with voting software to skyrocket him to 2 million votes overnight the vote mods are simply balancing everything after the flood of macro votes.In all honesty, someone should tell the /b/tards that macro votes are hurting him so no one could get ahead of him. Every ones knows that 4chan and Riddick, Diggs spike your votes and commits up last Saturday nite from 4800 votes to over 2million votes and blog your video and those fake votes #, commits so everyone will vote for him to make it look good. So everyone is jumping on your bandwagon. Sorry Zach for these guys trying to help you but they are hurting you. It’s unfair to you Zach and all the other contestants that are working very hard to get their videos noticed. But to cheat to get on top and get disappointed is sad. We have all the Info check below and sent it to all the right people. Its about to be a bad ass Storm for you guys

    Oprah is a human being and being a human she has the ability to be as corrupt as any other especially when she is in the state of being loved so much and being deemed incredibly compassionate. Of course she is rigging this contest because she is most liekly to get away with it because so many simple minded people believe that her compassion makes her simply unable to do something like this. People need to realize that she is taking advantage of everyone and she is just as corrupt as anyone else.

    The screenshots aren't photoshopped. If you go to Zach Anner's page and hit Refresh about 20-30 times, you'll see that the vote count fluctuates between two numbers. Dr. Phyllis' page does the same thing. The whole voting process is a sham.
