Victor's measurements provide a filter for which Alice+Bob photons to look at.
When Victor chooses entanglement, that filter is applied, and Alice and Bob find correlation in their measurements (as they now know which photons have correlation, and they ignore the ones that don't). When Victor does not choose entanglement, a different filter is applied, and Alice and Bob find that those particular photons which match Victor's detections are not correlated.
It is as if you have seemingly random data, and then Victor hands you an extra piece of decoding information, "Use photons 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, ...". When you include only those in the set, you find the results expected.
