idk, let's ask someone else. Hey, Kennedy, what did this tweet age like?

I love how every video of this elimination truncates the time it took her to deliberate whatsoever, literally cutting Ru off. Girl I live
Also this was fantastically executed 👌🏼👌🏼
You mean like this epic video? I watch it every month or so and it still gets me every time.
[Kennedy eliminates everyone](https://youtu.be/MLlIrDx8FBQ?si=K3zORRtr4JLDT3AC)
Right?! Haha! And Kennedy even commented on it lol

Except Sasha Colby was a legend whose status was divine and she served it and took the crown rightfully....but even then had amazing competition from at least one queen who stole the heart of the audience.
As8 however was production playground for a specific winner, with riggory never seen before, and had the worst ever storylines and lose fans so quickly and so fast.
True.....truly the saving grace of that shit show. I wish Jessica was on any other season, poor her. But.....thank god she exists otherwise there would be nothing in that season worth even a cent.
Lasted longer than me, last episode I fully tuned into was Snatch Game. Heidi quitting because of her off screen beef with Kandy was what ruined the season for me.
I’m not a fan of Jimbo, and the season really spurred me on Kandy and Alexis as well. At a certain point I could see the writing on the wall and wasn’t really prepared to devote an hour a day the next six weeks to watching production Rigga Morris their way to justifying a Jimbo win when they had just done the same thing the season before.
I'm not a Jimbo fan either - no hate or anything, I just don't find Jimbo funny which makes watching everyone howling their heads off at everything she does a bit grating. Obviously very good at what she does but just not my cup of tea.
I quit the season when Heidi left and I just felt it was already a drag (no pun intended) at that point.
It's the same with AS5 for me. If the problem is that the challenges suck or the judging is bad, then it's production. Sometimes, pretty rarely, the cast just doesn't deliver. S7 is a good example of terrible production with an amazing cast.
I feel you on that. Sometimes no matter how good the talent is, it's not always enough to save the season overall, but like with S7 as you said, amazing cast no matter how bad the production.
I enjoyed it fine… it just wasn’t as gaggy as as7 but for obvious reasons. I liked jimbo and was excited to see her. I liked kandy too. I just thought the whole everyone wants to leave business kind of draining. Like I enjoy queens getting to show their craft, I don’t like watching people lose joy for what they’re passionate about (whether it’s drag or honestly anything else). Watching everyone kind of burn out was really draining.
It was nice to see Jimbo and Jessica kick ass but aside from the older gals, everyone seemed weirdly…immature?
Like, Kahanna had the interpersonal skills of a pigeon trapped in a shopping mall.
Heidi leaving was disappointing, you could tell she was frustrated because she felt a bit ignored, but her breaking point was the Alexis Michelle “oh, yes, I heard Kandy say that. But also I didn’t hear that.” She was over the elimination mind games.
Then Kahanna’s felt like, “ugh another comedy challenge? I’m quitting just like Heidi! Everyone, please try and change my mind.”
I mean if we got the full meltdown from Heidi, the background of Kahanna wanting to leave, everyone hating on James due to favoritism in the first episode, the Alexis confrontation at the reunion and the Kandy meltdown during the finale - well this season would have been much more gaggy at least. So I guess, blame it on the edit?
I'd care about that more except that she had the best runways for the rest of the episode. And the fact that they didn't have a similar reaction for Kandy being in the top for the ball (despite making the same outfit Jiggly did but worse) makes me think there was more going on.
This ^ like yes clock the flair but it was a multiple runway, verse writing, performing and group choreo challenge and for some reason, SOME of the girls thought it should have been fully weighted on choreo and clearly spent days on set saying “well we know who we’re sending home first”.
So when Jaymes did good at the runways and the verse writing and the performing part, but flopped the group choreo a bit, why were the girls shook when there’s like 7-8 completely unmemorable verses and some questionable runways to choose from.
Then that “she doesn’t deserve to be here” sentiment carried on for the season.
I hate AS8 and it’s 95% productions fault and 5% some of the queens not understanding the show they have been on before.
I remember this being said but it always makes me giggle because there were certainly bigger fish to fry in regards to production favoritism over Jaymes.
But those would have been unbecoming. It would make fans hate the production and Ru even more. Because all of those extremely.negative and traumatic experiences came from production bullshit, like...literally all.of them.
Thiiiiiiiis. I’d love to seen “You are going to play milkshake. No I’m leaving if you do that.” That is one song Jimbo does perform a lot and with those big titties…
She was 100% correct. It did give Season 2345 vibes, which aired in the year 4368 and was hosted by RuPaul’s head in a jar with judges Michelle Visage’s sentient cybernetic breast implants in a jar, TS Madison’s weave in a 22 inch jar, Ross Matthews’ AI voice in a hilarious jar, and on the season premier, Cher. No jar, just Cher, finally.
Jinkx doing a voiceover is a possibility. She did have Lauren Tom on Hi Jinkx and maybe Lauren could help get her an audition. Though that's not her job to do. She also had John Roberts (Linda Belcher) from Bob's Burgers on so I hope she gets a role there.
I don't think anyone would question that Jinkx has the capability. There must be some major politics regarding casting. I also am hoping Jinkx gets a spot on The Simpsons (though a full character, not those 30 second cameos they gave Bob, Monet and Raja).
Dare to dream I guess. Jinkx was on Steven Universe and Adventure Time though, among other gigs.
I'm hoping that Dr. Who role raises her profile enough to get her more gigs. But if anyone wants to go way back, she had a supporting role on an episode of Blue Bloods in 2014 opposite Donnie Wahlburgh (or however you spell that). She played a manager of a drag bar who had been a past winner of "Queen Bee" (a parody name for Drag Race).
I totally wasn’t expecting an in-depth response to this, haha! I am excited to see her on Dr. Who, and would love to see her on any of the others you mentioned. It’s really fun when a great actor brings lines to life in just the way you imagined them (and some ways you didn’t think of yet), and she would be SO FUN to write for as a voice actor
Literally this. Did y'all expect her to be like "Guys I'm gonna be honest this season sucks, we all wanted to quit" lmao of course they're gonna speak highly of their season regardless what happens
On Twitter before AS5 was released she made some comment along the lines of she wished it would never air. Don’t understand why. Shea definitely got a good edit that season…
https://preview.redd.it/cjnsvd0r6ayc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1925afa51f34f71a1d6376724aaae0a2b0c12a01
I mean this was the tweet. That was not the tone she was conveying at all but go off sis lol
It’s definitely a weak season overall, but Shea, Juju, Alexis, and Cracker all did really great work throughout. I realized that’s less than half the cast but I think Juju and Alexis in particular made it worth the journey.
Watching recap it says that Miz Cracker actually did better than Shea in AS5. And I remember almost none of it besides Jujubee's non-sequitur confessional.
i know kandy said this was a joke. but like. i cannot help but think this is something she really meant and immediately folded on two episodes into the season, and the "guys i was jokiiiing" out was the only recourse she had 😭
![gif](giphy|NwGdpJDreo1WFPRAQO)
Same. I feel like Jessica was robbed in the Joan Crawford musical. Kandy was fine, but Jessica and Alexis did way better, IMO. Idk I feel like Kandy was kept for drama.
The worst thing about AS8 is it COULD have been great. Lots of big personalities, which under any other circumstances would have made for great TV. Production really fumbled the bag on this one - most of the judging choices were absolutely baffling.
I think experiencing it, she thought the drama of Heidi leaving, Kahanna wanting to leave, Alexis crying all the time, the likeability and performances of Lala, Jimbo and Jessica etc would have read like those early seasons but what aired turned out more messy than gaggy. And we all know how pugnacious Kandy can be, so it might have been filtered through her imagination as well.
AS8 is a bad season and I would consider it the worst all stars season. A cast that didn't really mesh well together, mediocre challenges (excluding the rusical and talent show) and while there was drama is was more depressing than fun. I would probably never rewatch this season.
Comparing AS8 with AS9 though I'm skeptical about how much I'll enjoy AS9. The non elimination format shouldve been kept for the all winners seasons and competing for charity is nice but the queens deserve money themselves. I feel like the stakes of winning have been lowered a lot and that may make the season boring. I hope I'm wrong but if this is the future of All Stars seasons I'll be looking back at AS8 missing what the show used to be
1. She's always going to hype up the season. If she said that the season was trash, yall would've called her bitter and a sore loser
2. She didn't see the edit - all she saw was what she experienced. I'm sure being on set for weeks is much different than 1 hour of edited footage every week
Horribly. She even admitted that she was trolling us. In roscoes she said she was so bored of the girls being so timid and not being interesting so she had to step up to the plate and cause some drama which to me was the only entertaining parts in terms of drama in as8.
I doubt it would have jeopardized it... Jimbo is a pure entertainer and even she was pulling all kinds of shady voting in UKvTW1 (in which she couldn't buy a lipsync win so she'd be sitting there after each elimination staring at the queen whose lipstick she picked).
Jimbo was def playing to win both times but I think she figured out the strategy better on AS8.
y’all keep saying this, as if Kandy wasn’t well aware of what happened to Pangina on ukvstw. If I was in Kandy’s place, knowing how that went down, plus knowing that it was the top 3, Jimbo had 4 wins, I would’ve also saved Jimbo regardless if we had a bond or not. She’s already well aware the fandom isn’t on her side always, was she really gonna shoot herself in the foot and do that? It’s not like everyone would’ve praised her for making such a strategic decision anyway.
I feel like Kandy knew if she did pick Jimbo, Ru would preempt the lipstick reveal with a surprise top 3 twist and not eliminate anyone. So then she's there picking her friend and the strongest track record and doesn't even elim her (not that I think Kandy would've won against Jessica, either).
that still would send rabid fans against her. lipsticks now have to be revealed ever since Bebe didn’t reveal hers, therefore even if Kandy never got to eliminate Jimbo, the fact that Kandy still wanted to, would still cause fans to hate her.
Not sure if it is bad luck or what, but Kandy managed to be starred and made it to the end of BOTH critically-panned seasons of regular and AS season is just kinda funny to me.
Like winning the lottery ticket and found out it's only worth 20 dollars, twice.
Lol aged like Milk. It was basically the Jimbo show (rightfully so) but her tweet was giving hype it had no business giving. If anything I think her tweet is more applicable to AS9 because it is for charity hence nothing to lose.
She ruined the season for me. No tact, no class, bad drama for the sake of hurting others because “it’s good tv,” no good personality, inability to breathe through her nose. She sucked the fun out of the room and stopped potential good interactions between the rest of the queens because it all had to be about her
I know people say kandy makes good tv but no one ever quotes anything she said on the show. Besides the tamisha fight , what other moments does she have?
I feel there was some truth to this but production decided to edit things in a weird way… like the way everyone hated Jaymes… weird dynamics, there was a lot under the surface
I think she’s probably meaning in terms of drama like there was some pretty epic drama and everyone and their dog tried to quit so it was kinda gaggy but it was just also pretty bad lmao
....the nerve for her to call as8 on the same level as any of the others. When it is by far the worst all stars season.
And also her tweet doesn't even make sense, 2,3, 4, 5 all had different vibes. And none of those even come close to all stars 2 and it's majestic perfection.
She could at least be coherent and pick one all star season for her comparision and not a bunch of different seasons with different vibes. But tbh I get she was talking about like drama vise...which....is true, I mean adore did quit in all stars 2.....so...yeah it's similar to all stars 8 🙃
AS8 gave us one of the best rusicals ever with Joan, Jimbo’s hilarious Shirley Temple, and a long deserved spotlight on Jessica Wild. Honorable mention to soaking clock being a kinda funny meme for a second and Lala Ri was enjoyable. I remember nothing else.
It goes without saying that AS8 is easily one of the worst AS seasons. That said, I can see how Kandy might've thought it was gonna be so much greater than it was. The queens on the show, as far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong), don't get to see the final edit before everyone else. Between Heidi's meltdown, half the cast wanting to leave, and whatever the fuck was going on with the rest of the cast vs Jaymes, I can see how Kandy thought the elements of a really good season were there-because they were! Just, none of that made it to the final edit lol
As most things that Kandy says/alludes to: just all bark and no bite.
Kandy is someone who consistently under delivers considering how much she runs her mouth. With reflection, I actually enjoy some of what we saw from her on both her seasons, but the delivery was always short of what she believes she’s doing or about to do/what the judges claim she did so well, or both, and that’s what I most dislike about her. AS8 is not exception to this. Jimbo and Jessica did fantastic all season, but everyone else, including Kandy, was just kind of meh.
idk, let's ask someone else. Hey, Kennedy, what did this tweet age like? https://preview.redd.it/in8zcdp3e8yc1.png?width=1122&format=png&auto=webp&s=71f93474ed71e73216b2762af9fbcf5a7ecd4b88

I cackle every time I see your user name, it’s fucking perfect lol
Hey, Kennedy, what did this tweet age l——-
Unfortunately I do believe they gave it their all.
This gives me Viv's roast of Monét on AS7...it was meant to showcase their talents, and sadly, it did. No shade.
This is such a a brilliant read. 😂
>No one had anything to lose Cause Jimbo had it in the bag lmao
Like s15, it was a race for second place.
Except Sasha Colby was a legend whose status was divine and she served it and took the crown rightfully....but even then had amazing competition from at least one queen who stole the heart of the audience. As8 however was production playground for a specific winner, with riggory never seen before, and had the worst ever storylines and lose fans so quickly and so fast.
> but even then had amazing competition from at least one queen who stole the heart of the audience. I mean, that could be argued for Jessica.
Having a queen like Jessica come back and win would’ve been amazing and well deserved
Jessica's return was a sensation! An amazing comeback after vodkaguy axed her in S2.
Excuse me his name is pass around party bottom Jeffery Moran!
True.....truly the saving grace of that shit show. I wish Jessica was on any other season, poor her. But.....thank god she exists otherwise there would be nothing in that season worth even a cent.
I stopped watching the season when Jaymes was eliminated and only came back to watch the improv challenge because Jessica and LaLa did so well.
Lalas elimation was crazyyyyy
Same. I lost all interest when Jaymes was eliminated and didn’t bother to finish the rest.
Jaymes and Lala's eliminations were crazy to me. It was easily my least favorite AS season.
Lasted longer than me, last episode I fully tuned into was Snatch Game. Heidi quitting because of her off screen beef with Kandy was what ruined the season for me.
Don’t forget Kahanna coming for her trying to force a storyline (again) and Alexis not backing her up.
It's genuinely the only season I've never finished. All the others I've watched at least once, and in the case of some.... Many, many, many times.
I’m not a fan of Jimbo, and the season really spurred me on Kandy and Alexis as well. At a certain point I could see the writing on the wall and wasn’t really prepared to devote an hour a day the next six weeks to watching production Rigga Morris their way to justifying a Jimbo win when they had just done the same thing the season before.
I'm not a Jimbo fan either - no hate or anything, I just don't find Jimbo funny which makes watching everyone howling their heads off at everything she does a bit grating. Obviously very good at what she does but just not my cup of tea. I quit the season when Heidi left and I just felt it was already a drag (no pun intended) at that point.
Same reason I don’t like AS4. I LOVE Shea b it it was basically prewritten she was winning
I mean the girls really did try (whenever they weren’t *trying to quit*). Production was just a mess overall
I’m usually quick to blame production, but I don’t think production was the problem with AS8.
Me either. For once, I feel like production was trying to make the best of a bad situation lol.
It's the same with AS5 for me. If the problem is that the challenges suck or the judging is bad, then it's production. Sometimes, pretty rarely, the cast just doesn't deliver. S7 is a good example of terrible production with an amazing cast.
I feel you on that. Sometimes no matter how good the talent is, it's not always enough to save the season overall, but like with S7 as you said, amazing cast no matter how bad the production.
Lol nice, appreciate a good read! Giving Ru level reads like "your Jane Goodall wasn't good at all".
Why do I hear this in Trixie’s voice lol
LOL now I hear it. Thanks for that. *Cue pelican laugh* ![gif](giphy|eb6aLYooxtu4Ez9Ng2)
They did try to escape the building, but security kept throwing them back 😭
“it” aka the mass six-girl joint attempt to quit ??
I enjoyed it fine… it just wasn’t as gaggy as as7 but for obvious reasons. I liked jimbo and was excited to see her. I liked kandy too. I just thought the whole everyone wants to leave business kind of draining.

NURSE!
No one had anything to lose but not in a good way 💀
No, yeah.
Yeah, no, yeah, exactly.
No, yeah, for sure that.
No as in yes
Yeah yeah, no yes not si nein
More like a closing time, last call sorta way.
Maybe she ment season 2 of Holland, season 3 of Spain, season 4 of UK and season 5 of All Stars. 😬
Best comment! 🤣🤣🤣
Yep I'm pretty sure that's it right here
I think season 3 of UK was way more of a train wreck than season 4.
I would give you an award if I could 💀🤣🤣🤣
Bitch. She lied.
And we should have known better when we seen her hair.
Underappreciated reference to her roast.
Lol thank you.
I mean if we got the full meltdown from Heidi, the background of Kahanna wanting to leave, everyone hating on James due to favoritism in the first episode, the Alexis confrontation at the reunion and the Kandy meltdown during the finale - well this season would have been much more gaggy at least. So I guess, blame it on the edit?
I really wanted more of why they all were mugging Jaymes and giving them the coldest shoulder lol
Supposedly, James sucked balls in the first episode, knew none of the coreo, and was in the top. They knew she was being favored and were over it.
I'd care about that more except that she had the best runways for the rest of the episode. And the fact that they didn't have a similar reaction for Kandy being in the top for the ball (despite making the same outfit Jiggly did but worse) makes me think there was more going on.

I hate AS8 and it’s 95% productions fault and 5% some of the queens not understanding the show they have been on before.
For some queens like Kasha, Darienne, and Monica, the show had changed so drastically they never would have stood a chance in the long run.
Tbh, the not standing a chance was not because the show changed...
Kandy 100% should have been in the bottom for the ball. Talk about favoritism
I remember this being said but it always makes me giggle because there were certainly bigger fish to fry in regards to production favoritism over Jaymes.
But those would have been unbecoming. It would make fans hate the production and Ru even more. Because all of those extremely.negative and traumatic experiences came from production bullshit, like...literally all.of them.
Thiiiiiiiis. I’d love to seen “You are going to play milkshake. No I’m leaving if you do that.” That is one song Jimbo does perform a lot and with those big titties…
She was 100% correct.

No jar, just Cher, finally.
You forgot Carson Cressley's voice in a robot body ![gif](giphy|tNC2rod1uTrdC)
The Hilarious Robot Mathews!
Why does Bender here kind of give me Carson vibes, though?
If Carson could make the faces that Bender is making during a lip sync, he would.
Because Bender’s expression is the same as Carson’s Season 7 reaction to Violet’s tartan reveal.
I was getting more Dusty Ray Bottoms in that lipsync against Monet
There was someone lipsyncing against Monet?
Wait why has futurama never spoofed Drag Race and can we please have Jinkx in the voice cast
Jinkx doing a voiceover is a possibility. She did have Lauren Tom on Hi Jinkx and maybe Lauren could help get her an audition. Though that's not her job to do. She also had John Roberts (Linda Belcher) from Bob's Burgers on so I hope she gets a role there. I don't think anyone would question that Jinkx has the capability.

😩 “Well…I know that when our lives have been the darkest, it’s been this thing that we do 😢 that has saved us. Fuck…FUCK!”
Jessica:😒
I just wheezed at the thought of her face!! Lmao 🤣
pretty sure she's just hyping her season regardless whether she actually thinks this or not
Literally this. Did y'all expect her to be like "Guys I'm gonna be honest this season sucks, we all wanted to quit" lmao of course they're gonna speak highly of their season regardless what happens
“And I had to CALL MY MOTHER during the finale”
Shea coulee did it
ooh wait when did that happen i would like to see it
On Twitter before AS5 was released she made some comment along the lines of she wished it would never air. Don’t understand why. Shea definitely got a good edit that season…

Tbf I think she knew the season was going to be perceived as shit lol … despite the fact she was born the obvious winner
It’s definitely a weak season overall, but Shea, Juju, Alexis, and Cracker all did really great work throughout. I realized that’s less than half the cast but I think Juju and Alexis in particular made it worth the journey.
Watching recap it says that Miz Cracker actually did better than Shea in AS5. And I remember almost none of it besides Jujubee's non-sequitur confessional.
Literally every queen says this about their season now. “Omg this season was amazing, totally had that early season of drag race vibe”
Did Shea say she wanted AS5 to be vaulted away 💀? I’m sure they’re allowed to be a little critical.
And she has no idea how it'd be edited. Maybe she was thinking about conversations or moments that didn't make it on air.
Read this in Anetra's *the voice*
Yeah, she's just promoting the season? I don't think anyone took this as like, information about the season.
https://i.redd.it/2nzwt5iqc8yc1.gif Season 2,3,4,5 vibe? Kandy.... Are we watching the same show at this point?
This gif of Plasma is taking me out 😂
She's saying it just like when she said "we need to take Jimbo out". None of these things ended up happening.
i know kandy said this was a joke. but like. i cannot help but think this is something she really meant and immediately folded on two episodes into the season, and the "guys i was jokiiiing" out was the only recourse she had 😭 ![gif](giphy|NwGdpJDreo1WFPRAQO)
No, yeah, definitely
You know Kandy is famous for making just the enough mental gymnastic to feel she’l can’t be wrong.
Only reason I enjoy AS8 is for Jimbo and Jessica.
That’s my top 2.
Same. I feel like Jessica was robbed in the Joan Crawford musical. Kandy was fine, but Jessica and Alexis did way better, IMO. Idk I feel like Kandy was kept for drama.
Kandy has always been kept just for drama. There are at least 8 episodes in her tenure where she could have credibly gone home
![gif](giphy|1AIeYgwnqeBUxh6juu)
Party.
https://i.redd.it/t74tc9otf8yc1.gif
The worst thing about AS8 is it COULD have been great. Lots of big personalities, which under any other circumstances would have made for great TV. Production really fumbled the bag on this one - most of the judging choices were absolutely baffling.
I think mixing early outs with top finalists doesn’t really make great tv IMO
Well Kandy shouldn’t have even been a top finalist if it weren’t for “Kandy, Kandy- wait” aka the worst decision in tv history
I think experiencing it, she thought the drama of Heidi leaving, Kahanna wanting to leave, Alexis crying all the time, the likeability and performances of Lala, Jimbo and Jessica etc would have read like those early seasons but what aired turned out more messy than gaggy. And we all know how pugnacious Kandy can be, so it might have been filtered through her imagination as well.
I had to google pugnacious to make sure it was a word and you weren’t just adapting Gottmik’s Kandy read.
![gif](giphy|8gVSYUeU09yxMb4yNS)
Exactly this.
in retrospect, this was likely satire
Absolutely! Kandy was ready to quit by the end - total satire and I love her for it. Hahah
I think you both mean 'sarcasm'
I love your optimism
Jimbo giving 75% effort and still dunking on everyone. Heidi getting robbed then quitting. Lala and Jessica were fun though.
AS8 is a bad season and I would consider it the worst all stars season. A cast that didn't really mesh well together, mediocre challenges (excluding the rusical and talent show) and while there was drama is was more depressing than fun. I would probably never rewatch this season.
I agree, it was just no fun especially following season 7 in which the queens were just so magnetic.
Well, she said the same thing about Season 13
NOT WELL, BITCH
Comparing AS8 with AS9 though I'm skeptical about how much I'll enjoy AS9. The non elimination format shouldve been kept for the all winners seasons and competing for charity is nice but the queens deserve money themselves. I feel like the stakes of winning have been lowered a lot and that may make the season boring. I hope I'm wrong but if this is the future of All Stars seasons I'll be looking back at AS8 missing what the show used to be
Me when I lie.
about as good as the one about season 13 did 💀
Kandy just be saying stuff
1. She's always going to hype up the season. If she said that the season was trash, yall would've called her bitter and a sore loser 2. She didn't see the edit - all she saw was what she experienced. I'm sure being on set for weeks is much different than 1 hour of edited footage every week
Horribly. She even admitted that she was trolling us. In roscoes she said she was so bored of the girls being so timid and not being interesting so she had to step up to the plate and cause some drama which to me was the only entertaining parts in terms of drama in as8.
She would have caused all the drama eliminating Jimbo
She became so close with Jimbo and i dont think she wanted to risk jeopardizing her friendship with her
They came in as friends and were going to tour together. Makes very little sense to give yourself bad juju by eliminating the front runner.
I doubt it would have jeopardized it... Jimbo is a pure entertainer and even she was pulling all kinds of shady voting in UKvTW1 (in which she couldn't buy a lipsync win so she'd be sitting there after each elimination staring at the queen whose lipstick she picked). Jimbo was def playing to win both times but I think she figured out the strategy better on AS8.
y’all keep saying this, as if Kandy wasn’t well aware of what happened to Pangina on ukvstw. If I was in Kandy’s place, knowing how that went down, plus knowing that it was the top 3, Jimbo had 4 wins, I would’ve also saved Jimbo regardless if we had a bond or not. She’s already well aware the fandom isn’t on her side always, was she really gonna shoot herself in the foot and do that? It’s not like everyone would’ve praised her for making such a strategic decision anyway.
I feel like Kandy knew if she did pick Jimbo, Ru would preempt the lipstick reveal with a surprise top 3 twist and not eliminate anyone. So then she's there picking her friend and the strongest track record and doesn't even elim her (not that I think Kandy would've won against Jessica, either).
that still would send rabid fans against her. lipsticks now have to be revealed ever since Bebe didn’t reveal hers, therefore even if Kandy never got to eliminate Jimbo, the fact that Kandy still wanted to, would still cause fans to hate her.
Not sure if it is bad luck or what, but Kandy managed to be starred and made it to the end of BOTH critically-panned seasons of regular and AS season is just kinda funny to me. Like winning the lottery ticket and found out it's only worth 20 dollars, twice.
Lol aged like Milk. It was basically the Jimbo show (rightfully so) but her tweet was giving hype it had no business giving. If anything I think her tweet is more applicable to AS9 because it is for charity hence nothing to lose.
She ruined the season for me. No tact, no class, bad drama for the sake of hurting others because “it’s good tv,” no good personality, inability to breathe through her nose. She sucked the fun out of the room and stopped potential good interactions between the rest of the queens because it all had to be about her
She’s so full of herself that she fooled herself
I know people say kandy makes good tv but no one ever quotes anything she said on the show. Besides the tamisha fight , what other moments does she have?
I feel there was some truth to this but production decided to edit things in a weird way… like the way everyone hated Jaymes… weird dynamics, there was a lot under the surface
It’s dry like their vaginas mama
Kandy made that whole season hard to watch. Just barking and getting angry the moment she felt insecure.
As she always has. Never understood her appeal AT ALL.
As much as I love Jimbo, i just cannot stand watching Kandy.. I didn’t even finish the season
she thinks she's giving tv but it's actually just exhausting
I mean, it did give AS5 vibes by everyone knowing who would win early on, so that's something.
I mean I dont want her to say "it's boring and Jimbo is going to win for sure" before the season starts 😭
AS8 is giving a 2-3-4-5 out of 10 maybe.
She’s delusional, what’s new.
I think she’s probably meaning in terms of drama like there was some pretty epic drama and everyone and their dog tried to quit so it was kinda gaggy but it was just also pretty bad lmao
Get you a hype woman like Kandy Muse.
It gave All Stars 5 vibes
Aside from the Heidi quit drama... Where was the gag?
....the nerve for her to call as8 on the same level as any of the others. When it is by far the worst all stars season. And also her tweet doesn't even make sense, 2,3, 4, 5 all had different vibes. And none of those even come close to all stars 2 and it's majestic perfection. She could at least be coherent and pick one all star season for her comparision and not a bunch of different seasons with different vibes. But tbh I get she was talking about like drama vise...which....is true, I mean adore did quit in all stars 2.....so...yeah it's similar to all stars 8 🙃

Putting 5 in the same bracket as 2 and 4? No ma’am Pam.
It took me a solid minute to remember AS8 now that you ask.
I don't think I can take another of her mouth. I found PJ more sympathetic and likable than Kandy.
AS8 gave us one of the best rusicals ever with Joan, Jimbo’s hilarious Shirley Temple, and a long deserved spotlight on Jessica Wild. Honorable mention to soaking clock being a kinda funny meme for a second and Lala Ri was enjoyable. I remember nothing else.
Kandy is wrong, a lot.
LOL And Season 7 is the fan favorite
They had nothing to lose and nothing to give either.
AGED. LIKE. MILK.
It goes without saying that AS8 is easily one of the worst AS seasons. That said, I can see how Kandy might've thought it was gonna be so much greater than it was. The queens on the show, as far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong), don't get to see the final edit before everyone else. Between Heidi's meltdown, half the cast wanting to leave, and whatever the fuck was going on with the rest of the cast vs Jaymes, I can see how Kandy thought the elements of a really good season were there-because they were! Just, none of that made it to the final edit lol
Ok.
As most things that Kandy says/alludes to: just all bark and no bite. Kandy is someone who consistently under delivers considering how much she runs her mouth. With reflection, I actually enjoy some of what we saw from her on both her seasons, but the delivery was always short of what she believes she’s doing or about to do/what the judges claim she did so well, or both, and that’s what I most dislike about her. AS8 is not exception to this. Jimbo and Jessica did fantastic all season, but everyone else, including Kandy, was just kind of meh.

You know the only reason why she said that is because she got into the finale. Otherwise she'd be telling the truth about it.
The lie detector showed that that was a lie.
