I agree,not crazy about this guy although his wife seems nice.Don't you hate it when you have one person you like and one you don't?
Texan:
All I can say is she made it up the wall!!!
Aventus:
Was it only me or he was trying to encourage her (on the wall) and all she could say is "Just shut up".
Boy, are you serious? He tried to help her, teach her how to climb that wall and she was... well, it's probably just me because you guys are saying exactly the opposite.
Texan:
He was trying to help her on the wall and she did tell him several times to shut up. And he did say he was proud of her for making it up the wall, he did not think she would make it. Was it him that said she would have some proud kids?

Hi Rudy,
I want to first say that it isn't a Kentucky "thing" for the man to be the BOSS. I cringed when I heard Mary speak those words last night but it isn't just a Kentucky "thing". You will find that type of male mentality (or lack thereof) in every state and every country. It is prevalent in some cultures. Is it right. No!!! I was born in eastern Kentucky about an hours drive from Stone. I have lived here for over 40 years in a town only slightly bigger than Stone. I just get tired of fighting the stereotypes.
That being said Mary seems to be able to take care of herself. When she was trying to climb the wall it seemed to me that her husband was being supportinve and trying to help and all she did was shout at him, telling him to shut up. In the beginning they were both nervous and at the end they were working under major stress sure they were going to be eliminated. This is a combination of emotions that can easily bring out the worst in any of us and cause us to say things that we don't really mean.
I don't want anyone to think that I am picking on Rudy. :kuss: I'm not his post was just the one that caught my attention. I've read these forums for a long time, have no problems with Rudy and usually agree with him.
I just hope this experience will expand the horizons of Mary and her husband and she can bring this back to their children.
