I've never complained about it because I don't expect Gary or the game to stop and drop just for me (although in my more narcissistic moments he should :p) There's ALWAYS a point every single season where I can't give Idol the attention I want because of work, and that's when I drop. I've never been able to push through it :shrug:

But...how honest should one be? You don't just walk up to somebody and say, "Hey, I like you, but I want to intersect with you because I think my piece will get more votes than yours because I've got the bigger FL." Granted, Idol back in those days attracted those who went all out for stuff like that and left people like you in the wake. I completely understand why you're still a bit hesitant about everything.
