It looks like its curtains for Kandi Burruss‘ ratings tragedy “The Kandi Factory” and if you’re scratching your head wondering what’s that?, well apparently you’re not alone.
[FLASHBACK: Kandi Burruss Hosts “The Kandi Factory” Preview Party [PHOTOS]
Bravo’s fast-food “American Idol” type show had the vivacious singer-turned-reality-star and her team of do-gooders [Kwame Waters, Don Vito and Victor Jackson] on a mission to turn an everyday kind of guy or gal into a superstar.
With former ‘housewife’ Kim Zolciak being a ‘one hit wonder’ graduate of Kandi’s expertise, it seemed a win/win for both the network and Kandi to turn the guy or girl next door into a popstar, but sadly the show never picked up steam and the “contestants” who had little to no talent at all, were never even close to being superstars.
Sorry Kandi….
Details below..
Word on the curb was that Bravo was on the fence about renewing The Kandi Factory but apparently the network has officially pulled the plug.
A fan asked Kandi about her show returning and she confirmed the bad news on Twitter:
Men lie… women lie… numbers don’t. And ‘The Kandi Factory’ just couldn’t pull in any substantial viewership.
In addition to Kandi and her crew’s low ratings, there was quite a bit controversy from former contestants who called ‘foul’ over alleged broken promises.
Season one winner Matthew Solomon was supposed to garner a song written by Kandi and a music video produced by Kandi’s team, but Matt lashed out on Twitter claiming Kandi didn’t live up to her end of the bargain at all:
“Haven’t heard from Kandi since the show. Sorry you can’t download my song.”
But Solomon didn’t stop there. He went on to say:
“Wow Kandi, I got you a new season and u lied about what u promised. Using Kim for press.”
Strong fighting words? Maybe. But now that Andy has put the nail the coffin of that sad show it seems we’ll never get to find out how Matt’s saga turned out. *kicks rocks*
[Sidebar: Who am I kidding? I wasn't watching it anyway... :shock:]
What do you think of Bravo’s decision to cancel ‘The Kandi Factory’?
The best decision bravo made
The best decision bravo made
I completely agree no pun intended here but bravo bravo bravo for canceling "The Kandi Factory by Bravo". after Kim winning her lawsuit against Kandi and then Miss Lawrence said he saw absolutely no money from his song and now the winning contestant also stating the same thing. I’m starting to see that her candy sweetness is all SMOG!

Agreed, it was horrid! I like Kandi, but the concept was late, and I was always left feeling like "these damn nobody’s ain’t hardly gettin’ signed to shit, not a real damn deal… maybe a song and video for Bravo’s site, but that’s about it!"
Boring show and bad singers.

Well kids, the show sucked but for those contestants who want revenge all you have to do is wait to see her "relationship" hit the skids which it will do. It will end badly. Prenups don’t protect hearts doll.

I love Kandi but the show didn´t bring any excitement at all. She gave it a good run, so now onto the next project. I think Kandi Burruss Fan Page should bring Kandi Koated Knights to Bravo. That would be a great show, although the language would have to be toned down

Hi everyone! Well I will not hate on Kandi. Sure, the show was bound to get cancelled because there wasn’t enough drama (boring in the reality TV world), but she has Kandi Koated Nights and other projects. Plus, I still think she’s the richest RHOA. She said that she owns her homes, cars, etc. So, she should be just fine with this show getting cancelled.
Should have done it after the first episode.

Terrible show. Terrible talent! My least favorite was the guy who sang "Middle Fingers Up"! Uuuuugggghhh! I only made it half way through the season because the show was so bad. I guess Kandi doesn’t have the midas tough afterall.
Yayyyy, nobody wants to see slow talkin [listenin to her talk makes me sleepy] cheap tight dressin [her clothes make me cry] Rainbow credit card holder tacky Kandi.
HAHAHAHAAAAA! Rainbow…..hell yeah!
At the end of the day this young lady is still making money, can you say the same? Know one is successful at everything they attempt, admire her for being a self made millionaire. All the hateful gloating comments just aren’t called for.
You mean; "No one is successful" and not; "Know One"
Yes, I am on grammar patrol because I am mad as hell that my comment did not get posted, I broke it down for ya’ll and gave you the 411 but the owner of this website likes Kandi.
I still don’t know how the HELL the owner of this site thinks this is a damn shocker.
And that dance choreographer….Victor has a slick mouth and the WORST skin on TV! Really I was waiting to see him get punched in the face.
I watched a couple of episodes but didn’t find the need to see the next. However I did want her show to succeed. She started getting a new attitude on RHOA and I am thinking it was because she was getting her own show but it seems she is going to need RHOA a little while. In other news Kim Zolciak show is doing fine. Hate is never pretty and always backfires.
I looooove Kandi, but that show was boring.

Wow, so many haters are commenting. Obviously you all know nothing about business. She tried a new business venture, it worked for a while, and then it folded. This happens everyday!! The cancellation is not a failure, not trying, is a failure. You all are behind your computers hating on this woman, but I challenge each of you to start your own show and see how many ratings you garner. It is a tough business, but she tried. What the hell is up with people and their constant negativity these days.. so judgemental.. Kandi.. thank you for breaking barriers, thank you for being fearless, and thank you for not letting your haters defeat you..
Awww….. I’m not mad at your comments. Keep it positive Nik…but I’m gonna keep it 100……BORING lol!!
lolol.. can’t be mad at that!
Yo Nikki, I left you a comment it’s at the bottom of this post. So you know boo, ain’t no one "hating" it’s called being real.
Kandi is very talented, but her show was boring, sorry

The show wasn’t THAT bad, but I wasn’t going to tune in every week, either. I feel sorry for the contestants who "won" thinking they were on their way to the big time. Apparently not.
Yea, not quite sure how this train wreck ever made it on the air. Love you Kandi but *yawn*.
It sure was boring..
It sure was boring..

It wasnt a good show.

Shocker? How the hell is this a shocker?
Kandi is not who she was in the damn 1990′s. There is bigger and better out there.
I do not like Kim, but I have to side with Kim in this and this is why.
First of all, Kim can NOT sing if her damn life depended on it. Yes, Kim and Kandi did have an agreement. However, when Kim’s attorney found out about the agreement, she had learned that Kandi wanted a bit too much. And when I say a bit too much that is what I mean ya’ll. Kandi wanted more than L.A. Ried would have wanted. See, Kandi didn’t look at this smart. Just because Kandi won grammy’s does not mean a damn thing because that was in the 90′s and early 2000′s. Kandi did not view this as; "Peeps can see my talent" if they do not know or even remember my Non Mutha F’n Factor Ass. Kandi had admitted by doing Kim’s songs that it lead to other opportunities to which Kandi admitted several times. Then Kandi’s dumb ass put in court papers that Kandi Koated (what Eva her LLC is) owned Tardy for the Pardy, meanwhile, TFTP came out a year and a half before Kandi opened up her LLC. You can not lie on court papers u less you are Sheree Whitfield and get away with it. Look how Kandi did Lawerance and dude from Season 1. Lets start with dude – He won and rightfully so should have had his song on iTunes as us viewers were lead to believe. We know how that went.
Lawarance – Kandi’s Koated Behind did not want to "promote" it on … Fucking twitter. Kandi don’t understand that when she promotes these knuckle heads she is promoting herself as well. Not to mention that Kim and Lawarance contributed to a story line for Kandi. Lets be real and not beat around the bush. No one can understand a got damn word when Kandi speaks – mumbling cracka.. oh calm down, it’s a joke – the cracka part. I’m fucking black.
When you greedy and say shit like Don Vito did; "We not concentrating on Season1 winner we gonna concentrate on Season 2" karma bites you in the fucking ass. Not even Todd could get her a spin off – a SUCCESSFUL spin off that is.. Kandi, have a damn seat and shut the hell on up.
Why the hell do I bother commenting? Michelle Brown don’t read ya’ll comments why the hell would she read mines?
How the hell is my comment in some damn moderation?
Sorry ya’ll, I broke it down but I see the truth does not want to be prevailed up in here.
This is the thing Boo,
No one on the #RHOA should ever count on the show to keep their pockets lined. The show is to follow the wives around and their everyday lives. You see what happened to Sheree? SHE HAD NOTHING GOING on and that is why Bravo booted her ass. The only reason NeNe is on is because she said many times that she played it smart.
You don’t see NeNe coming out with no SheByhe or trying to sing. Andy likes NeNe and that is the only reason why NeNe is still on, he helped viewers like her. Lets face it, NeNe is dumb as hell, ya’ll remember season 1 when NeNe was trying to help her son with his homework and didn’t know what was bigger – a 1/3 or 1/4 and when Greg showed NeNe and drew the damn pie like she was in 1st grade – NeNe’s response; "Can we get a tutor?"
I’m Keeping It Real boo, I’m not "hating" NeNe is dumb as hell – she was very like-able the first season then the damn fame went to that big bald head of hers.
Now listen, I know Kim be wearing them stupid wigs, but at least Kim got a real head of hair, NeNe wears a damn Toupee. So NeNe should shut the hell on up when calling Kim; "Wig Kim"
Because NeNe ain’t got no damn hair.
@411 on Kandi Koated you contradict yourself. In one sentence you say Nene played it smart, then you said she is dumb as hell later on. She may not know fractions, but she damn well knows how to count her millions. She is smart enough to get paid. How about you? Apparently the producers do not give a care about her hair because she is still riding that gravy train.
You Know I gott agree with mscurious. You did contradict yourself. Here is another thing. I also feel like you are right about Andy liking Nene, but to be honest with you NO ONE REALLY CARES FOR HER ANYWAY.
I tried to support this mess but,sometimes things just aren’t meant to be.Just because Miss Lawrence and Kim got lucky with hits doesn’t mean this formula would work. Miss Lawrence has talent. Kim, not so much. Bravo should have done one Kandi Factory episode and put a cap on the rest. It was sad to see that Kandi and her crew knew things were going down hill, so they staged that "fight" between Don Vito and the other guy to drum up interest in the show. I wish Kandi good luck on her future endeavors.
Not a shocker. Show suxxed.
Maybe Kandi should go into acting. I think she would probably do good there. She needs to play in some role, because if she does it coud probabl help her in the long run.
I have no clue why they haven’t picked up kandi koated kights. Its a great show; if they had to tone it down it wouldn’t be the same :/
Maybe Kandi can try a different type formula for her show. There are so many talent competitions out there right now. Also, it is hard to get invested in a person after one episode!
I wonder what happened with the lawsuit of "Don’t be Tardy…"?
Wow that hurts to hear! given the fact that i have been takin vocal lessons in preparation for the Kandi Factory’s next season…im speechless i was bringing the fire!!!
#BRAVORECONSIDER
That show was ’bout as dry as Kenya Moores roots…
Kandi’s face looks like she’s always smelling a poop or something gross.
