Why is there a person showing up on my weekly contest that is not my friend?

Please remove Allison from my weekly friends contest, she showed up last week as well. She is not my candy crush friend, so she should not be a contender in this contest. I only have real-life friends and people at comparable levels for a reason. You can see from the screenshots she is not a friend.

@Deshai Hello and welcome the the King Community! 👋

You might have “Allison” on your friends list accidentally. Look in your friends list, find their name, then remove them.

You can also check HERE if you wanna add more friends for CCS! 😉

Have a Sweet day! 😃🍬

Hi and welcome to the King Community

Thank you for the feedback , In most of the events of this game you will find random friends who are not on your friends list but everyone is a player of this game. Since contestants selection is completely random, you cannot remove or skip them because the random process cannot be manually modified.

However you can try to find the solution by following few simple steps below.

Cheak app update - Log out game - Restart device - Open game and Log in.

I seem to have lots of random friends on my list that I’ve never heard of too. I think this is the way it is intended to work actually.
