Okay, on a serious note, what do you think will happen this season 19 at the finale? Will they ask Meryl, as winner of season 18, to come back and perform. (dance, that is) Would they have the audacity to tell her that Maks couldn't be her partner? I'm pretty sure, if that were the case, she would turn them down. 

I would think they would ask the winners of the previous year to return...haven't they done that in the past???

Kellie and Amber came back, but I don't remember farther back than Kellie -- would have to look it up. I think they would, but they would be NUTS not to let Maks come back to dance with Meryl. Ratings through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. But Maks might be mad enough to say "No" although I don't think he would do that to Meryl.

Interesting article from last year. I think this season was Maks last but it looks like Julianne may still owe up to 3 years on her contract.Wonder if that played a hand in the decision to chose her over Maks. They may have had to pay Maks more and he may not have agreed to a strict contract.They already had Julianne in their clutches and if she wants any kind of career, she has to finish her contract.  

thats interesting....you could be onto something there....

I just read it, and did you scroll down and see the comments?

I though it was quite interesting...

Maybe they told Maks that he can be a judge when Len and Bruno retire. (Would he have to sign another seven-year contrac?. I can't see him doing that.) But, I read that Len will be out the first half of Season 19. Maybe that's why they hired a 4th judge; they won't have to get someone to fill in for Len because they will still have 3 judges. But then there's that comment from Lizzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What does that mean?

i think the question could be....does Meryl want that kind of fame.....because i think Maks wants Meryl to be happy more than anything...even fame....

I agree.
