Mister Hectic believes the Gabriel Medina photo is fake. He also believes Luke Greenbank (who was disqualified) did not stay underwater longer than allowed and Ana Carolina Vieira (who was disqualified) did not sneak off with her boyfriend. Oh, and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was re-elected fair and square.
