I think this is an old picture of Fedor and Meryl.

Also,  I believe Maks' contract was up.  They were going to let it slide and by his own words, he went to the producers and asked to come back for the last time.  It's possible that they could have renewed his contract, but I honestly don't think he wanted it.  He wants to do other things and as long as he is under contract with ABC, they have to approve anything he does.  I don't believe that Meryl talked him into anything or was even a part of his decision.

well she is doing the mirror ball tour thing with GMA so i don't think she or Maks are too put out with DWTS

 
A lot of local celebs or previous winners are in the audience....Yamaguchi is one that goes a lot, I've noticed. Florence Henderson as well.

I think Meryl will always do what is expected and seen as a commitment or a favor. She is that type of person. Grateful, humble, and reciprocal. If Maks has a legit reason for not going to dwts for anything, she would probably support him in that way but it may not be her decision for herself unless it is dancing with someone else. If they were smart, tho, and Maks turned them down, they would partner her with Val.

I thought about that too, but Val might not have time to practice with her if he and his partner are in the finale. I also thought about Derek, but am not sure what Maks would think about that. In an ideal world, they would have an intermission, and everyone would get up and walk into another room that had an ice rink. Then she and Charlie could do some ice dancing. After all, that is why they were invited to be on the show in the first place.
Back to dancing at the finale with Maks, though! That would be a ratings bonanza, and they would have to bring in extra chairs for the audience, I think.
 

 
Well, there is always Tony!!  He will be done early--that is his role on the show!!! LOL  I'm sure Maks would be ok with her dancing with him since he is family!!!

Yeah, maybe....cause Fedor looks really cute in this picture and I thought newer pictures I've seen of him he doesn't look that cute anymore.

I gasped when I saw this picture of Meryl and Fedor.  In this picture Fedor looks remarkably like my 34 year old son whom I wrote about when I first joined the ABC board.  I have not seen a reseblence in any of his other pictures.   
 

 
Sure your son wasn't a stand-in for Fedor?!!  LOL

Carrie you asked about the pic that I posted of Meryl and Fedor...I have no clue when it was posted or who posted it...I had tried to find out but never did before I got off earlier today...

in one of the BWAT   q and a clips someone asked Maks if Meryl came back for an all stars season could she dance with Val and he said flat no..LOL...because Val hurt her during switch up week...then he said if she came back for an allstars and was't paired with him(maks) it wouldn't be with Val...but to me it came across as him saying if she came back for an all stars he would want to be her partner ...because he never did name who he would want her partnered with

 
She wouldn't want to dance with anyone else either.  Just remember the switch up week videos!
