Forrest, I\u2019ll start with you. You bring such a unique take on performing, you\u2019ve got to figure out how to take that guy and connect with people; and Olivia, we\u2019re in Fort Worth, Texas, a lot of these people are cowboys who came to town for the weekend rodeo, maybe that particular song wasn\u2019t enough to rile them up; and Blaine, I think Keith said it best earlier, whatever you give them is kind of what you can expect to get back from them. We all felt that you maybe had the least amount of connection to the audience tonight, and I\u2019m sorry, for that reason, we\u2019re going to have to send you home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s like all of us experience this,\u201d Keith added. \u201cYou play somewhere on a certain night and for some reason that crowd just doesn\u2019t connect with what you do and who you are. You go to the next town the next night that crowd does, and nothing\u2019s changed about you. You just found something that lined up with that audience that night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Blaine said, \u201cI\u2019m really thankful for this opportunity and that I got to be a part of this thing.
