I know there is some mention in the books of how the reapings could possibly be rigged, with reference to victors children being reaped on multiple occasions which is obviously very unlikely to occur by chance, and then in SOTR when beetees son is reaped im pretty sure this confirms it. But I don’t see a lot of people talking about cashmere and gloss in the quarter quell? District one is probably the district with the most, if not one of the most, victors, therefore it has always seemed unlikely to me that two siblings would have been “randomly” chosen… unless one or both of them volunteered for the quarter quell but I doubt this because… well why would they? I feel like I haven’t seen anyone talk abt this what is your guys’ thoughts???
EDIT: AND I JUST REMEMBERED the original pick for district four was supposed to be finnick and his GIRLFRIEND Annie. But then mags volunteered for her. That shit was definitely rigged.
EDIT #2: also why was there no REALLY OLD victors reaped? Apart from mags volunteering, i can’t remember any. This makes me think even more that it was rigged because I’m assuming victors would have a pretty long lifespan since they are rich. So what are the chances that literally NO old people were reaped? If it was rigged it would make sense, because it wouldn’t make a good show to just watch old people with rusty bones dying in like two minutes at the hands of katniss’ bow or something.
EDIT 3: actually there were some old victors. Someone mentioned woof and beetee were quite old, and I also just remembered the district 11 victors were old too!
