Fair-Weather Friend: Should Floribama's Kortni Have Had Candace's Back?

Once Candace noticed herself at odds against the guys in the MTV Floribama Shore home just before her boo thang's big arrival, she expected at least one individual to stick by her side -- her bestie Kortni.


Turns out, though, that friendship may be slightly one-sided. On tonight's episode, soon after Gus and Co. Mocked GatorJay231SouthsideGawd's moniker, Candace went on the attack, leading Gus to throw the insult of all insults: "You don't actually deserve to be called a woman." WHAT?


While Aimee and Nilsa were floored over their roommate's nasty words, Kortni declined to deal with anyone's "petty bullsh*t drama" and chose to remained neutral... A la Switzerland.


Candace rapidly took notice of that, dripping in sarcasm with a sassy, "Thank you for having my back, Kortni. Appreciate you, boo."


Candace described Kortni as her "closest friend in the home and claimed to have been there for the PCB local "100 percent of the time" -- especially any time her girl was in need of some Pampers. (We'll never forget Candace taking her new roomie under her educated wing back when K was peeing on completely innocent beds.)


"I don't feel like she had my back at all," continued the Memphis native. "Just to sit there and not mention anything? Like, I would never do that if Kortni was arguing. I would at least attempt to get in the middle and diffuse the situation."


Kortni, on the other hand, felt differently.


"I may be Candace's only friend in the home, however she isn't mine," Switzerland she mentioned. "I'm companions with everybody. She can't put me in the scenario to pick and choose."


That's not what Candy thinks -- yet what do you think? Was Kortni being fair to refrain from speaking up, or should she have had her buddy's back? And can their friendship be repaired? Sound off with your thoughts, and catch the aftermath of GatorJaymaggedon on Monday, August 27 at 10/9c.
