Just a few random thoughts while on a break at work!

If I do watch Season 19 at all (doubtful), I will go back to the way I did it before last season, mute everything but the dances.   I also believe that Derek/Julianne was a twofer deal.   I think they may have a change of heart when they see they ratings, maybe not so much Week 1, but I bet Week 2.   I think there will have to be a noticeable drop  which would not have been the case if Maks were the 4th judge.   I think they will really try to woo Maks & Meryl back sometime during the season, and I hope they play it for everything they can get.   In response to someone's question last night, I don't think either of them would really agree to dance with anyone else.   Maks might agree to do a pro number and/or Meryl might agree to dance with Val (under Maks' strict supervision), but not in lieu of dancing together.  

I think Maks was always the star of that show.  Some might want to say Derek, and I'm sure he has a lot of fans, but with a couple of very rare exceptions, he wasn't interesting.  No drama.   No conflict.  Willing to swallow whatever s**t the judges dished out (although he never got that much) and say whatever was necessary.   I think he was a much better choreographer when he tried to be really creative within the rules of what the judges wanted.   Julianne will be the same way.   For her, coming back to DWTS has to be a come down.   Her singing/acting career has fizzled, and she needs to get some more visibility.   Maks is on his way up.  

I hope with his new management, they'll find something really creative and great for him to do.   Certainly like the idea of him and Sharna with Meryl and Charlie doing something.  I would love to see them set up someday in Vegas.   Can you imagine one of the big hotels setting up an ice rink/dance floor in a theater and have the four of them in residency?   I think people would flock to see them.  There's already a thriving ballroom dance community in Vegas.   And it would allow them all to have some kind of relatively normal life.  

I firmly believe that was Meryl in Hawaii.   I also believe that they're both, not even testing the waters, but starting to come out.   All the SM activity, shout outs, hidden hands (as she gets more used to wearing a ring, she will be more and more forgetful about hiding it)...let's see if he shows up in Sun Valley.

Now that BWAT's over and no more Q&As, Maks will have fewer opportunities to talk about  her to big audiences.   I think they might now throw caution to the wind.   In New York and/or Michigan they could go more unnoticed by the paps and be out together.   I think it's hard for them to hide it.  If I was in love the way he is and the way we think she is (she is more reserved), I'd want to shout it from the rooftops, or at least display it from time to time, even if I refused to talk about it.  They're already getting the questions at every appearance.   It couldn't get worse if they actually did step out together.
Loved the bustle.com article, but she has been a shipper all along.  

I think 3 months is time enough to figure our where you're headed, even if it takes you a while to get there.

Tango, loved all of this and hope you are right about EVERYTHING. Thanks for taking the time to write this!!!

Do you mean Chris Young instead of Chris Brown?
 

 
Yes Annie I am sorry it is Chris Young...the Denim must have fogged up my head...

Well, that's quite all right! I didn't know the difference until I looked it up on Youtube.

You know, I wonder if getting Derek to come back, they had to take Julianne?  I mean, he sounded at the end of last season that he didn't want to come back for awhile and then suddenly BOTH are back? Strange.  I think it was a "package" deal........and that goes for the new Pro dancer too.  Poor Maks and Sharna..

I wonder the same thing too!!!  I think that Sharna, Maks and even Jenna got the short end of the stick on this deal...and I hate to tell DWTS but Maks was a BIG part of that show...I hope with all the negative feelings they do something for Maks and Sharna....Jenna will most likely make Pro in the next season or so...but the other two are BIG in the Pros....I hope they do something WONDERFUL  with either BWAT or SWAY or even something bigger and better.....
Unless Maks gets something wonderful with DWTS or turned the offer down, he got pooped on...as did Sharna!!!

All we can do now is hope that this old saying is true: " When one door closes, another door opens." ( or something like that -- not sure I got it right). 
 

 
No doubt that will happen.  Maks doesn't let too much grass grow under his feet so i'm certain he is working on new stuff all the time.  What about a new line of swim wear:  Makskinis and Valkinis?!!!  LOL    Maybe we can get a royalty for coming up with these creative ideas!!  LOL

I was trying to find that out...haven't seen any reports of it or if Meryl is still there...I have my fingers crossed that they to meet up!!!

Maks couldn't have left yesterday, the 20th, because their last show was then. I just wish Meryl had been there since Monday and that she and Maks would leave there together today. Sigh.h.h.h.
 

 
Annie: I think Meryl left there yesterday when she flew into LA for the ice bucket challenge at Danica's house. I presume she got the red eye into LAX; they arrive about 6 .m. here from HI; it's about a 5 hr. ride. I believe she may have had to be in Sun Valley later in the day. Presume Charlie was in charge of getting her skating gear there.

Jet, you set up a great timetable, and I hope it is true. I, too, was thinking how her costumes, etc. would get to SV. I think Charlie would be very responsible about this, I wonder if Tanith is back from China and if she will go to SunV.
 

Back later! Have to wash clothes and dishes. I have very little time for housework since starting to post. Good thing I live alone.
