Might look at Artem as a pro though, just curious on how he would be. Not sure why Alison Holker is there, she is a Mum in a relationship, isn't she? Maybe it will be a good pairing with an older star who won't do the romance angle. Do you think they have the stars lined up first and then hire the pro's according the stars wishes and to match personalities?Well, supposedly, no one knows who the partner will be, but we know that Derek knew that he would get Amy because he was seriously thinking of not dancing season 18 until he found out she would be on. I think he wanted the challenge as a "feather in his cap" in the choreography world. I heard him say this on Access Hollywood -- just the part about not coming back until he heard Amy would be on. So, I don't know why he is coming back for Season 19 unless there will be another challenge for him that we don't yet know about.
It shall soon be revealed!
I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer. Meryl

Re: Don't worry, be happy!
Hi to everyone on board. While I stay logged in, I have been on and off as I work on music for this coming Sunday. So now I have several pages to read and will post along the way.
HI Kos
(Waving) Hi April.
Maks (Bergen County Interview when asked about the kind of woman he would like to marry.) "I'm drawn to success. I want to be somebody's fan, excited about her life, her career, her choices."

Re: Don't worry, be happy!
It feels that she is there to cause controversy. Not what makes me want to watch a show. She does come across as not very resolved as a person. Also, her and Derek went on this tour right after the show. So it is not just the family bond, but also shared business interest. Not a good picture if he were to win again. I can't imagine him getting a real contender for this reason alone.
Yes--it may come out looking very rigged....and not good for dwts at all. Do you get it in real time??Not sure, I caught up with season 18 on youtube and after it was over.
There must be a lot of politics involved in the hiring. Remember seeing Chelsea Hightower in one of the AfterBuzz shows and apparently she was one of the most requested pros and yet in an interview she let it slip that she didn't get hired despite wanting to be on the show.
Politics in everything, I'm sorry to say! It ends up being the thing that mucks everything up!

Dunno how that works, Gabriele. I heard that Meryl had requested being paired with Derek--probably because she knew him from the choreography he did with her and Charlie. I didn't know celebs could request a partner...but don't know much anyway!
I think Julianne is tainted by Hollywood now. Just a gut feeling I have. But I know she had a difficult childhood so she must have issues. So many "stars" do--and can't find stable relationships. I feel kind've sorry for her but otoh you can be whoever you want to be If you decide to be that. She no longer floats my boat at all so I may not watch either.
This was on our message board a while back: (maybe tumblr)
1. Mark was cranky because he didn't get Meryl.
2. He was crankier because he got Candace.
3. He was crankiest of all because Candace kept staying on!
Do you remember an interview Maks gave (with Meryl by his side), saying that if you get voted off, there is relief if you have a partner who's not that good. Relief, because now you don't have to keep working with them. (That would explain #3 above.)

Remember there has been word that Sean Avery insisted to be paired with Karin which then lead to a bit of a domino effect, changing other planned pairings. Not sure how reliable this info was at the time. Could be that if they want a star badly enough, he/she will be accommodated.
