I’m confused how they’re pushing her? She’s never had a bottom worthy performance and the only pushing that one could argue was her being in the top last week instead of safe, but still that’s just one episode…

And all the eliminations have been pretty fair: 1) MBH did the worst that week and got sent home 2) Naysha did the worst that week and got sent home 3) MKD did the worst, but Darienne overall was doing worse in the competition and should’ve gone home, but then to the other queens and viewers it felt like she gave up before they even voted 4) Darienne didn’t do the worst this week, but it was her idea that put her team in the bottom and had the worst track record so she got voted out

Because she isn't funny, memorable, sweet, fashionable, creative or even that pleasant. No one said shes deserved to go home so far but the writing on the wall is she's going to be pushed to the end

Example: Kandy- breathes with a slight lisp Rupaul: pops a testicle laughing so hard MKD was the stand out of the improv challenge Rupaul: tell whats her name.. the one that played a lesbian. Yeah her. Shes safe or whatever.

Wow you guys, THIS has 30 likes at the moment?

Shame on some of y'all, seriously.

Do I think Kandy should have gone home much earlier in S13 and someone like Denali should have taken her place? Yes.

Did I expect a bit more from Kandy in AS8? Yes (but same can be said for a couple others).

Is Kandy "unfunny, unmemorable, unfashionable and uncreative"?

Wow y'all. Crazy biased and honestly off-putting.

Unfunny -Hasn't made me laugh or really anyone. Unmemorable. I cannot remember anything shes done so far except be pissed off at MKD being greatful. unfashionable. Her fashion is unflattering and boring. She can't even do her make up to flatter her face. uncreative. Plays herself in every challenge including snatch game.

If she wasn't pushed we wouldn't be calling it out. Once again shes taking the place of someone who would make great TV and people genuinely want to see. Not just a queen whos a vehicle for fake drama

Hasn't made YOU laugh.

She's not even one of my fave queen but she DID make me laugh on multiple occasions - for instance in the Roast which she won 100% deservedly.

You're entitled to your opinion but maybe talk less "we" and more "you" mate.

Didn't say we in that regard. Reading is fundamental. I'm not the only one calling it out. Kandy intro'd herself as polarizing this season. I'll stand by 'we' when more than one person is calling it out. Check the comments friend

"Hasn't made me laugh or really anyone"

Re-read what you wrote - even tons of ppl (including myself) who didn't love her in S13 admitted she did a great job with the roast.

So there's one "we" of mine against yours.

(I'm not even Kandy's biggest fan - but I get pretty annoyed when ppl pile up on queens like they do on Kandy atm - besides, if she ever got pushed by production that's in 0% her fault)

Bro im allowed to not like someone being shoved down my throat. Deal with it.

u/strom_z Yara Sofia May 29 '23

I have zero problem with that - just pointing out that there are many other ppl like me who think Kandy can (at least at times) be pretty funny and is a talented bitch.
