    S13’s production was heavy handed and blatant about it but way too sloppy in its execution across the whole season.

    I’ll get it out of the way first, I don’t like Kandy’s drag. Her mug is always flawless but everything else is always busted. I think she has more than one look on S13 that were worse than LaLa’s bag look, and the only reason she was carried through the season is because of her willingness to be obnoxious to the people around her on screen for effect. Ru loves her and I just don’t.

    But even ignoring Kandy being “runner up” the season’s heavy handed production carried Simone and Gottmik to the top. And don’t get me wrong, I love Simone and think she had winner quality. But there are many challenges where you can see Simone, Gottmik, and Kandy being edited around to avoid showing how badly they were doing.

    There’s one than one challenge where Gottmik tells you in a confessional how funny Kandy was being rather than just showing you Kandy’s performance. Gottmik is almost completely edited out of the dance challenge and when you can see her you can tell she’s bottom quality. Simone and Kandy’s bottom lip sync was double-sashay bad but Ru saved both of them in a frustratingly stupid moment.

    Ugh. Gottmik winning the design challenge against Utica was a travesty. The whole double first episode was cruelty, and honestly you could see what production was planing because quite a few of the “winners” were worse than the losers.

    Just top to bottom’s it was a terrible, messy, season for production. We had queens get completely ignored the entire time. I still don’t know anything about Tina Burner.

    It’s just a bad bad bad bad season. Ugh!

      Damn I hadn’t thought about season 13 like that but now that I read you I have to say O agree. I’ve never understood to the love Kandy gets. I don’t wish her Any I’ll, but I’m not a fan at all. Same with Gottmik. Wise words…

        While i disagree with Kandy always being busted (I’m not a Kandy fan but the extreme dislike towards her baffles me tbh), i do agree that Gottmik was spared from that dance challenge, for which Denali and Rosé were robbed. Tina was also done dirty for getting bottom placement for a great hosting job and Utica absolutely deserved the design win

        I can only dream of Denali on All Stars. She would slay so hard
