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. 

I agree with everything you said here. I would like for Val to win, and then the show can tank! Don't know if it's worth it, though.

Re: Be Happy and Smile

In the 16 comments after the story, people seem to really like her. Rude comments about Maks. This girl may be good for the show, but at the expense of Sharna? Was Sharna's 7-year contract up?

Hi annie!  Yes, I'm still on.  Playing catch up as usual.  I've been so busy lately that I usually only have time to pop in and out to read and post here.

salacaminarMy Photo Essay:  One of these is not like the otherWeek 3, 7, 8 (twice) and GMA Party

One thing was obvious and I don't care how many videos you watch or photos you look at:  whatever "it" was was mutual.   Never ever do you see Meryl looking the least bit ill at ease with all of Maks' touching, hugging, and kissing.   Often, she grabbed his hands and pulled them around her herself.   And she did as much rubbing of hands as he did.   Even that one time when he put his hand a little bit too far down, she just pulled it up without missing a beat and with a sort of bemused smile on her face.

By Week 3, it wasn't enough for him to have his arm around her shoulders.   He had to be behind her with both his arms completely surrounding her.  And she was okay with that.   When she hugged him, it was so elegant to watch the way she placed both hands around his neck as far as she could.  

It was probably lucky that he is so much taller.   He could kiss her all he wanted in full view and there wasn't too much worry about him missing his mark and hitting her lips on camera, except in the dances, of course.   Cheeks, side of head, top of head, whatever was within reach.   And in the finale, they got so long.  I esp. remember his long, very emphatic kiss after the Argentine tango.   Not to mention the freestyle, and the kiss after their scores for the freestyle when he put his hand on the back of her head.  

I so want to see a candid pic of them now, not a posed one.   Or better yet, some video.   I want to see if they're still that touchy-feely.  (I'm sure they are.)

None of the other couples did anything like that.   And I can't recall any in past seasons that ever did that, even those that went on to date.  

Break over!  Back to work!

 
CEK and tango:

So LOVED trying to figure out which one "is not like the other"!!  LOL  Clever--and appropriate, CEK--and your comments, tango, again right on.  They were both enjoying "what they had"; hopefully they are enjoying it more and more since that time!!!  But when will we know??

In case anyone is interested, I came across a video last nite (I had not seen) after watching Mama's Song when I clicked on one of the pics in the montage that comes up at the end.  Since I haven't yet figured out how to post the actual video yet (recall I just figured out how to post a pic last nite!! HAHA  Perhaps we should add a "how to" to Maksology list?!!  hehe), here is the info to google:

www.youtube.com/meryl and maks the ultimate kiss

At :57 you see their final freestyle embrace and "almost kiss"--THEN you see that Maks actually DID kiss Meryl very clandestinely but obviously in that view.  His head snapped to the left while her mouth was still open in the final pose.  While they don't show it in this video, remember that what followed when Maks "emerged" from the hair and the embrace was him rolling his eyes like he got away with something--and then a quick wink.  When you watch that clip you really realize how familiar that must have been because Meryl just stayed with it and except for Maks' eyes, no one knew--although I always suspected something happened that we didn't see!  This one shows enough to confirm that suspicion.  It obviously was not the first "real" kiss for them!!

No doubt they were "very close" during the season....so wishing we could just get a more definitive confirmation of current status!! 

Enjoy the video....some shots I had not seen before.  They are soooo good together....may they make it official and move along!!!

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.

Doesn't seem like Sharna was on for 7 years already, does it?  I agree the show may well tank after this year.  I think there is more that happened to diss Maks than we know.  Bet some of it will come out as time goes on.  We will know that something disastrous occurred if MnM don't come back and dance together.  Hope I am wrong on that.

Thanks for this post!! I noticed all of that too. I want them to let us see all of that again -- sure do miss Monday evenings!
