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..

last season Derek said he only came back because they told him they would give him Amy Purdy....makes you wonder what celeb they promised him this time......hmmmmmm.....

True very true...I am a little nervous about this Julianne thing...it could explode in their faces...."boom"

yeah and you know they like to put Disney Stars on there...well keep an eye out to see if they put Ross Lynch on there...he's from Austin and Ally and the band R5...found out from my daughter today he's also Derek and Julianne's cousin.....

She is a 3rd generation ballroom dancer, retired ballet dancer, choreographer, and teacher and a Maksyl shipper on top...She has a blog and talks about dancing all the time, and was pushing for Maks to be a judge this season...she also LOVE animals....

O.K. then. She is my kind of gal! 

She has rated Meryl and Maks as one of the four great dance partnerships of all time.  The other three are Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev in ballet; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; Jane Torvall and Christopher Dean in ice dancing. The article is on her blog.  I will look for the link.
 

 

My daughter use to read her blog when she danceed...She is a Maksyl shipper I do believe!!!

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!!!

Me too!!!  when does she have to be at the Sun Valley thing???

The Sun V. performance is the 23rd, but I would think she and Charlie would get there before that to have some practice time.
 

ok and todays the 21st so that wouldn't give much time...

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.

Love your Vegas Idea!!!!  and if they ever do have a show there we could have a "sisterhood" trip to see the show!!!LOL...can you imagine us all in Vegas and seeing a MNM and C.S. show too!!!

I would go!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't been to Vegas in several years. 
 

LOL...and well we could go crazy in that town and fit right in!!!LOL
