The show no longer has a center

I'm really bummed myself and will never watch anything with Connie Britton again. Very classless move by her to do this to the fans that worked so hard to bring it back. Without Connie, this show is toast. At this point, I'd be really surprised if CMT renewed it, even though it's their number one show right now. With her gone, though, I think that the ratings will eventually drop off as time goes on.
