Wiggle Bar Cheat/Bug?

So I was playing several games today and I noticed something strange. Now in game you'd never notice it, but as a spectator is glaringly obvious. I thought it was maybe a fluke, but I started spectating ALL my games after my death and noticed something with Wiggle bar progression.

I've seen at least 6 survivors today have some sort of wiggle bar cheat, or exploiting a wiggle bar bug.

So here's what happened in my most recent game, about 20min ago:

Me, Mikaela, Cheryl, Meg vs Trickster.

I died pretty early, they let me die on first hook, oh well, so I spectate. I watch Trickster hunt down the rest.

They'll get down, killer goes to pick them up, and their wiggle bar RAPIDLY fills up. Like I've NEVER seen it just FLY to fill up this fast. And the survivors are running absolutely NO wiggle perks or Wiggle Haste perks, NOTHING. They legit are just running like Lithe, Quick and Quiet, Technician, and maybe like a CoH boon.

Please note, THE KILLER DID NOT DROP THEM. THERE WAS NO BOIL OVER. NO FLIP FLOP. NO PERKS THAT WOULD ALLOW ANY WIGGLE PROGRESSION ASSISTANCE.

I'm so confused because the wiggle bar was BRIGHT yellow, like you'd have when using Boil Over, but absolutely NO perk to explain why the wiggle bar was like that. And whats even worse--the killer would GET STUNNED AT 75%. I watched it happen THREE times, THREE, the Wiggle bar gets to 75%, and immediately the killer gets stunned and the survivor runs off.

I know for a fact they were not dropped, I watched the entire chase, to the downing, to the carry--no drops. Just insane wiggle progression only to be stunned and drop the survivor at 75%.

I checked all their perks to see if maybe it was a bug, maybe there was a weird perk combo making this happen, and none of them had anything in common.

So the Meg and Mikaela both had something going on, but when the Cheryl got caught her bar was grey when she wiggled so I dont think its a bug with Trickster because me nor Cheryl got this yellow bar.

    The wiggle bar gets yellow also if you hit great skill checks with the beta wiggle feature. The auto wiggle out at about 75% (80% is more like it) happens if the killer tries to drop at that point.

    What you witnessed does look suspicious, but without video it's not conclusive.

    i know for 100% certain the killer did NOT drop the survivors at any time, they were picked up once--and in regards to great skillchecks, that wasn't happening either. ill go back and look through the footage again but they were getting good/great skillchecks. but not perfect greats every time.

    like it was 3 times, exactly the same. gold bar progressing extremely fast, and then the killer gets stunned at 75%
