Gerritt, who was one of the most entertaining contestants on the June 18 episode, went up against Tanner Beard in the second round. However, fans were surprised and confused by the events that occurred in the second episode of the show. One fan of the show took to Reddit and pointed out that the game looked rigged in the second round.
The Reddit user named “cmcasey79” suggested that Tanner's ball before his final "winning" shot was not in the same place in which his tee shot had ended up. The Reddit user further claimed that the game appeared to be scripted. The Reddit user said that maybe they both Gerritt and Tanner had missed the shots and the footage was later edited in a way which made Tanner appear as the winner.

Another Reddit user named No_Blueberry_1532 claimed that the ABC show is completely rigged and that the shoemakers reposition the balls to ensure that their favoured contestants win. The Reddit user further speculated that Tanner Beard was favoured by show’s makers because he had famous friends like Zac Efron and Josh Duhamel.
