Not everyone made the cut ... in a separate sound stage somewhere on the Radford lot in Studio City, there were other former houseguests who weren't lucky enough to make it to the main stage for the show ... and they're pissed over their snubs!!!

A photo shared on X showed a large number of former contestants sitting in an empty sound stage, watching the show on four small TVs. Hardly glamorous.

The problem is ... Angel allegedly lied about her college degree, and the university told us they don't have a record of her in their system.

Here's what happened ... Angel posted Instagram photos of herself as a 2026 Duke graduate, and she wrote in the caption, "Today, I get to look back and realize that every late night, every sacrifice, every setback and every prayer was leading me right here."
