"Candace is a sag- we just be crying and dramatic and fine the next minute," wrote another. 

"She's such a brat," commented one user. 

"Candice is more upset cause robyn doesnt give a damn about anything but his job," claimed another. 

"She lost at Dirty Bird Bingo? I don't know. Even Robyn eventually stopped after her timeout at the Crying Curb," mentioned one. 

"The guilt cry," another user alleged. 

"Candiace is a bad person. She is mean, mischievous and always plays the victim to try to gain pity from people when she is in a weak position. She's a sheet person," someone else said.
