As silly as it sounds.. if you really want to test my "theory".. then Kalni needs to push for the D. Smiling the whole time. The issue will become.. she can't technically do that. He has to agree. He will stall it for sure. He has already done it.. I expect.. he will do it again.



Agreed, except that I believe she has to be prepared to follow through. Idol threats have not worked with him any more than 3-4 days.

If I take you up in a plane.. strap a parachute on you.. fly to 40,000 feet.. open the door.. and tell you.. you might make this jump.. you might not. Is "fear" gonna be bad.. or good? I am not gonna push you out.. you have to decide to jump. I am gonna wait on you to decide..


I would switch parachutes with you and then jump out right after you. Fear in this situation is not helping. Yes, in other things it can help, I just don't think it helps Maria. It holds her back from doing things she knows she needs to do...IMO.....

Trust me.. I am gonna fight for this one tooth and nail. Don't let my "fight" distract you.


Come on now Forrest, you know me better than that by now.... and I am not confused by you, actually the more I think about things the more we seem to be heading in the same direction.

If I had my druthers Maria would make some changes and step up to show him.. he can be what she needs.


I think Maria has laid her self out there several times only to be let down time and time again. IMO, it is time for HIM to step up. Willing and able needs to see some of his ready because he has not backed up his words with his actions at all. I for one think she has stepped up quite well.

I am OK with that.


Me too....
