Good Sunday morning, everyone!  I see all has been quiet since the Jenna/Meryl pic.  

In that picture last night with Serge, he either does not look happy or looks really unhappy about being interrupted. 

I had a long day yesterday.   The dance workshop was good: 4 one-hour classes on swing, Latin (cha cha & rumba), foxtrot & waltz, and bolero.   Then there was a break, too far for us to go home and too long for just dinner.   By the time we went back for another 1/2 hour swing class and then a dance party, we were starting to fade fast.   Then my teacher comes up and asks me to dance.   The music could have been cha cha or swing.   He proceeds to ask me if I know the swing sequence they taught us in the class.   I said, yes, but not up to speed!   Me and my big mouth!  He leads me through it twice, and not without error, but pretty good.   I missed  a couple of steps, but kept going.   Of course, I didn't feel so bad when I later saw him dancing it with his wife, and she messed up, too!

Parts of it reminded me of that pic we had of Val teaching a class.   There was a room jammed full of women, and not one of them was in the same position he was!

Glad to be back on the ship for a few days.   It always seems that when I'm out of contact for a few days, something momentous happens.

Way to go, tango!! Good for you!!  I miss taking dance classes, maybe this will be the year I start up again!! Never did ballroom, just ballet, jazz and tap lol!! xoxoxo

Oh, Cassidy, your comment made me think of something.  

I absolutely love to ballroom dance (not other styles so much) and would rather do that than just about anything else.   If I could dance every day, I could.  Basically, now that our kids are grown, H&I work and dance.   It's our mutual obsession, and I know I'm very lucky to have a husband who enjoys it as much as I do.   But I only really like to dance with him and our teacher.   It's too much effort to dance with other men you're not used to dancing with, especially if they are not at your level.

I have heard many dancers say that ballroom dancing is better than sex.   While I wouldn't go quite that far, dancing to a beautiful song (with appropriate lyrics) with someone you love when everything is going perfectly and you are completely in sync can be, how shall I put it?--orgasmic!    I remember 20 years ago when we were first learning how to waltz dancing to "Can I Have This Dance?" and it was truly magic.   The music just carried us along.  

I'm sure that Maks knows this, and I think Meryl does to.   They need to thank TPTB not only for pairing them but for the song choices they had.   I mean, "All Night," "All of Me," "Feel So Close," "Read All About It," "Just a Fool," "Latch," "Glowing."   Every couple gets at least one clunky song that really makes it hard to do the dance they were assigned.  For M&M, I think that was the samba.   But they still did an amazing job.   One of the reasons the public was so mesmerized was all of those "magic," dare I say "orgasmic," moments on the floor.  

I believe Maks when he says that they were afraid to jinx what they had by taking the relationship further during the season, but that is exactly why the dances were the way they were.   I'll be curious to see what happens when they dance together again.   It'll be beautiful and magical and passionate, I'm sure, but I'm willing to bet in slightly different way, that is, of course, assuming they have taken their relationship to the next level.  

Tango, I absolutely agree, they were expressing the way they were feeling through their dancing!!  That's why the dances were so amazing.......no acting could come across that way!!  Sidenote.....you are very lucky, my husband only dances with me at weddings and only to our wedding song (I only have eyes for you) and Elvis, I can't help falling in love with you!!  Maybe if I tell him it's like having an orgasm, he'll consider lessons, lmfao!! xoxoxoxo

An interview with Meryl only after she won the MBT...

At the end when Maks is saying "There's always hope", and then Meryl says it, HE had tears in his eyes! I'd never noticed it before, but this picture was way bigger than any I've seen before of this interview.

I guess this is in regards to Maks being at that place yesterday drinking wine....

Thank goodness i wasnt the only one who was wondering about the emmys! I think that meryl going with maks is very possible! Its not weird for the reigning champs of a nominated reality show to go together. This could have also been why meryl went to LA briefly a few days ago, to get settled into where she is staying, tie up loose ends to her emmy plans. I for one would be extremely excited if she went with a certain russian to the awards!! —Anon************endingY’all’s thoughts?


Another anon thought... 
Call me crazy or wishful thinking, but do you think its a possibility that Maks and Meryl will show up together at the Emmys? Maks was photographed with Serge drinking wine at an Emmy associated company on the counter in the photo, I saw what looked like tickets. I mean, they are the reigning champs and DWTS is nominated, so why not!*******************end from anon

And yet another thought...
[quote888]Also, according to Meryl’s IG she is “homeward bound” and unless we want to get real sappy here and saying but home is where Maks is she’s heading back to Michigan. I don’t see her going to Michigan when the Emmys are tomorrow if she’s going to them.[/quote888]
No Meryl and Maks at the Emmys then
 

Just so he doesn't show up there with someone else! (Oh, me of little faith)!
