Interesting little Q&A from 2013 with Maks and Karina...


 

I can't bear to watch it. Do they snuggle up like he does with Meryl?
 

No not at all they are answerin questions that were submitted to them when they were doing the Broadway Forever Tango back in 2013...before Mery came into the picture...

 
Just poppin' in....

Thanks for that interview. It was kind've entertaining.  Could not believe he answered the question of whether he could dance with a partner he didn't like--and his answer was, "No....that's like faking an orgasm; You can't do it!"  That is soooooo Maks!!!  lmfao.......Mind went crazy thinking of how to meld that with what we saw with Meryl as his partner!  There were no Meryl smiles--in fact, Maks was quite somber looking.  They stayed FAR apart on the couch.  He did not touch her at all.  Noticed his hair and beard were similar to the "look" in Detroit.

Thanks, Cassidy & Luv,  Really nice photo and love the philosophy.  My throw back on this was to the interview at the end of the season in which she said she what she had learned from Maks was to "be who you are and not apologize for it."  I think that was revealing because she has lived up to everyone's expectations--and now perhaps she feels she can break out and find her own way.  It also reminded me of something I read, I think on tumblr, to the effect that her family doesn't think Maks is good enough for her--they want(ed) to see her marry a doctor or some more prestigious type.  If she truly loves him, it won't matter....so long as they go through life with each other.  Breaking through the perceived glass ceiling is possible with soul searching, love, and commitment.  Besides, what family ever thinks the guy their daughter loves is good enough??!!  At least at first glance....

This is what Gabriele had to say(around 4 am this morning, our time) about some people feeling that Maks was not good enough for Meryl.

"Loved so much of what I read today.  Last thing I saw at the abc board last night was Val's categoric 'no' to the relationshp question.  So glad you found the video and it comes across so differently.

Since Sochi, and before I arrived at the abc dwts thread, I had been through the  goldenskate thread.  There was a strong sentiment that Maks isn't good enough for Meryl.  She should find a doctor or similar as Maks has too much 'mileage' (not my words) and Meryl can and should do 'better'.  That's what I read between the lines of most of the new posters on abc now.  They have cultivated the princess myth for so long and can't reconcile with the new Meryl image. 

I saw the beginning of a certain person posting back then too .....  stood out as so pompous and self-absorbed that I remember the Id.  I am not sure I recognise anyone atm as a clone though.  Then again, I wouldn't recognise any subtleties in people's language which distinguish them from others as its not my first language.

Thanks so much for having me here - certainly not a nice thought to be stuck over at the abc thread atm. Truly valiant effort by view to hold out there."
