Good-night april. I'm getting off too. 
Gabriele, if you are here, have a good night!!
 

Yes, I'll be here for another six hours or so.  Have a good night everyone!
 

Forgot to log off last night!  It's hard to understand why talent people do what they do.  Actors, producers and writers get fired for incompetence and then get hired by another studio to do exactly the same thing they were fired for.  Realistically, the casting couch is still very much alive and Miss Hough has proven that she will do anything to get a career (even though she fails at all of them).  I do think the contract thing is  probably the reason she got the judging job (plus anything else she could pull off).  I know I sound crass, but it's fact that everyone should recognize.  It's also a business filled with nepotism.  There are many super talented people who never make it, while semi-talented ones do because of who they know, or who they are related to.  Having said that, it was a total slap in the face to Maks for ABC to submit clips of Derek and Amy for Emmy consideration.  I don't think it had anything to do with Meryl, it was all about zinging Maks.  They created the bad boy image and when he proved, with Meryl's help, he wasn't that guy, they didn't like it.  They continue to want golden boy to win everything.  I'm totally disgusted with this show.  I don't know about the rest of  you, but I will not be watching season 19.  The ratings went up season 18 and they are now adding Tuesday back in.  Why did people watch season 19?  Maks and Meryl  It will be fitting if the show tanks this season.  I honestly hope it will.  I love to dance and love watching dance shows, but I can't support the Derek and J show. 

Morning, all!  

I used to think it was bad having to listen to Carrie Ann and Bruno spout off.   DWTS was the only show that I used to scream at the TV over.   I finally stopped watching after the All-Star season when they didn't just let the really good people get out there and dance and let the chips fall where they would.   There was so much manipulation.   I dropped out for a couple of seasons and only was able to watch Season 17 with everything muted but the dances.   No filler, no judges' crap, usually no packages.   I was set to do the same thing for Season 18, and then there were M&M.   I did mute it for some of the others, but never for anything related to them.   And I thought the judges were nicer this time around (well, except some of the guests!).   Meryl effect? 

No season 19 for me.   The only reason I would tune back in is if Maks is back, preferably with Meryl. 

I also wanted to let you know that I'm your Fanfiction girl.   While some of you are monitoring the ABC board and Tumblr, I've been keeping my eye on the Fanfiction.   About half of it is downright creepy, another quarter of it is just badly written and/or teenage girly stuff.   Some of it goes where we only go in our imaginations after a particularly intense Maksology class!  

But a few of them are really good, inventive writers whose love for M&M shines through.   I have pretty quickly been able to distinguish those whose posts I read and those I skip over.  

So finally I have one that I think is worthy of your attention.   I know someone mentioned all the hate that was happening on Tumblr.   This was posted in response to that, and I think it's beautiful.  It expresses so well what we've seen and what we hope/believe is happening out of the public eye.   And I particularly like the message at the end.  I think it applies to us, too, and why we left ABC to come here.
