All that Kandy "hatred" making me question, once again, why I even frequent this thread.

The eliminated queen was only eliminated bc she was a threat. Period.

that’s all I gotta say. She’s been killing it this entire season.

Honestly, Kandy really isn't *that* bad, she is in the words of Tamisha a bit 'arrogant' but I still really like her

Has she really though? I might have short term memory but apart from snatch game I never found her a stand out per say.. 

and tbf Kahanna has had a win and only was in the bottom one more time than Jaymes has i think?

she was only in the bottom once and never low. She had 3 highs, one safe, one bttm (not including this episode)

Kahanna was in the bottom 2 times before (3 including this episode) and only won 1 episode with no other highs.

Track record wise, Jaymes was better.

She did great in the rumix, did great in the acting, did the best of her group in the advert (sadly bottom 3) and was definitely the 2nd best in the snatch game and shouldn’t not have been in the bottom AT ALL this episode let alone eliminated

For those people who keep saying Jimbo should have been in the bottom, why? She did the assignment. She did the choreo, she was servicable, she had good face, she knew all the words and she had a great runway. 

If it was a bottom 3 ok yes I could see her in it. But for a bottom 2 I'm not seeing why she deserved to be in the bottom over Kahanna or Jaymes. What am I missing?

Jimbo was great, i totally agree.

Her look was the best BY FAR, and she was okay in the rusical, so she should rather be high than low!

Especially considering how she fumbled in the UK vs the World Rusical. It was a great improvement! I was worried about her dancing but she really stepped up to the plate.

A lot of this subjective like my favorite in that group was Darienne, I didn't laugh at anything she did in that ad or in the SNL challenge. Her runways have all been crunchy. The only good thing she's done IMO is the Snatch Game and for me was clearly 3rd place after Alexis.

And don't forget the first week she failed the choreography and was placed in the top anyway, so automatically the other queens felt it was unfair and felt she was being pushed by production. That makes people want to eliminate you! I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of their reasoning for the unanimous elimination.

Jaymes saying she was cut because she's a threat is giving me Alexis in season 9 "I take that as a compliment"

They all did the assignment though...Overall, the Rusical was great, it's almost S15-level good imo. So like Michelle said, at this point we're just nitpicking. Jimbo did do a good job, especially compared to her last Rusical performance in UKvTW. But to me, the choreo wasn't as well executed as Kahanna and she didn't serve better face than Jaymes. Her runway was great though. I'm a Jimbo stan through and through but I think it's clear that production decided to save her because they knew that if she fell into the bottom, Kandy would've immediately taken her out.

The show tries so hard to make the viewers believe that Kandy is doing good in the competition 

Pretty sure they saved Jimbo from the bottom two, otherwise the winning queen would definitely have taken her out.  

Kandy's attitude, runways, and performances are consistently bad. The song and the gag in the Rusical literally did all of the heavy lifting for her.

I honestly disagree. I think quite a few of them were asleep at the wheel and not really giving characterization (Kahanna, Jaymes was pretty flat, Jimbo's vocal work was good, but she really struggled with the choreo, Kandy's number did most of the work for her and I didn't think anything she actually *did* was especially funny). Imo, the only three that really stood out to me were Alexis, Jessica, and LaLa. 

[Ladle Ghoulash 16,251]

Honestly, Alexis should've won this episode. Her performance was great and she ate that runway.

Maybe I need to watch the rusical again, but I honestly don't get the love for Alexis' performance. Her singing was great, but I didn't like her choreography and she looked stiff to me. I agree with Jessica and Lala being in the top though.

Honestly, I disagreed with Michelle's critique that Kahanna wasn't serving face. Like, it wasn't over-the-top or campy face, but it wasn't as tense and wooden as Michelle made it out to be. Jaymes' choreo wasn't particularly hard or groundbreaking, but I thought she embodied the character well. Jimbo's vocal work was good, but that's about it. I thought Kandy honestly did a great job; she sang well and like Jaymes, I thought she embodied her character well enough. Her runway was ok (a best for Kandy though), but I'm not mad about her win.
