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!!!

OMG april I agree with you a Vegas show would be great..."The Sisterhood of the Traveling Message Board Takes Vegas"  
It would be EPIC!!!!

Yea I am right there with you Luv...I will have to see what happens with the stars...I want to see Val, Tony and even Karina oh and Artem..(hes cute too)...but as for the judges....
and like you said...more time to talk with my "sistas" 

LOL....yeah we'll have more talk time....so are there any stars your hoping for????

They are probably already decided by now, but it would be interesting to see Tara Lipinski -- she hasn't already done it, has she? And Johnny Weir(d), as I think we have already mentioned. Hmmmmmm, let's see -- Abby Lee Miller, Mama June Shannon and give one of them to Derek. We'll see what he's really made of!
Has Alex Trebec ever done it? How about Josh Duhamel?
 

I would for some reason like to see Steve Harvey....he's actually got some rythym and he would be funny too...i would like to see them put him with someone like Cheryl
