Nah, cute idea, but the admins of this and that other forum are working their tails off, trying to allow open debate and keeping the threads manageable, while keeping the more vitriolic posts at bay, I don't want to add to their work and really shouldn't have posted it on that thread. However, no reason I can't start a new thread maybe, but I'd ask first lol

I bet he'll try to play it down the middle somehow... not really back down, not really support Kimkins, keep his affiliate cash coming but try to distance himself a little bit somehow...

just guessing...

Do we have any other wagers coming in? Do I hear any other possiblities?

Should I put up a countdown clock now?

How many hours/minutes until the announcement do we have to go?

Any more ideas?

The floor is open....place your bets.....

I vote for "making the blog members only so only good things will be said about me."

I'm a cynic, sorry.

I think it could be... (one of the following)

He and Christine are pregnant
He's reached his goal weight using "Jimkins"
He's breaking ties with Atkins Nutritionals (haha no.. kidding)
He's writing a new book, or some other self-promotional thing
Or.....

Perhaps...

He's leaving Kimkins and the affiliation (I hope)

I dont think he is leaving Kimkins. I think he reached his goal weight or something and is now switching to Atkins.
