Morning, all!  

I used to think it was bad having to listen to Carrie Ann and Bruno spout off.   DWTS was the only show that I used to scream at the TV over.   I finally stopped watching after the All-Star season when they didn't just let the really good people get out there and dance and let the chips fall where they would.   There was so much manipulation.   I dropped out for a couple of seasons and only was able to watch Season 17 with everything muted but the dances.   No filler, no judges' crap, usually no packages.   I was set to do the same thing for Season 18, and then there were M&M.   I did mute it for some of the others, but never for anything related to them.   And I thought the judges were nicer this time around (well, except some of the guests!).   Meryl effect? 

No season 19 for me.   The only reason I would tune back in is if Maks is back, preferably with Meryl. 

I also wanted to let you know that I'm your Fanfiction girl.   While some of you are monitoring the ABC board and Tumblr, I've been keeping my eye on the Fanfiction.   About half of it is downright creepy, another quarter of it is just badly written and/or teenage girly stuff.   Some of it goes where we only go in our imaginations after a particularly intense Maksology class!  

But a few of them are really good, inventive writers whose love for M&M shines through.   I have pretty quickly been able to distinguish those whose posts I read and those I skip over.  

So finally I have one that I think is worthy of your attention.   I know someone mentioned all the hate that was happening on Tumblr.   This was posted in response to that, and I think it's beautiful.  It expresses so well what we've seen and what we hope/believe is happening out of the public eye.   And I particularly like the message at the end.  I think it applies to us, too, and why we left ABC to come here.

I read this one, too, and totally agree with your assessment. I read one today that was obviously penned by someone who is not a goof writer at all!! Don't remember the name on it. 
 

Thanks for the info and evaluation.  I usually don't read the fanfiction stuff, but will read what you recommend.

found this on tumblr......

Suzy Ryan has been tweeting fan tributes and pictures since the end of the show and tagging Meryl and Maks. Meryl follows her on twitter so I am pretty sure she is aware they are out there and since Meryl follows her even without being tagged she knows all those video are out there. I am sure if she doesn’t want to see them, she just doesn’t watch. Basically I was saying, I wouldn’t worry about it, there are videos like that about her and Charlie too, I am sure by now she just ignores it all. (unless she enjoys watching them, lol, who knows.)


Interesting, that Meryl follows someone who makes videos........maybe, she like them as this person above said. LOL.......Anyway, I wouldn't tag her in, but if others do......and Meryl follows some that do.......well, I guess that is all fine and dandy. LOL

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?
 

I didn't click on it so they wouldn't get counts of people watching it. I read some of t he comments- obviously by the Pure crowd.  She made rude comments about Maks?  Who is she?  Maks has been dancing for years and she thinks she can comment on him?  I did read where Derek gave her advice that the other pros should take.  OMG, I'm so sick of the Derek lovers- I quit reading the comments.  She, I think is married to Twitch or one of the other guys from SYTYCD.  I  predict that this season is going to be a bust.

Allison didn't comment on Maks; it was people commenting on the story about her. Actually, there was only one that mentioned him by  name, and it said: "Nobleze vibrancy is the perfect word for her (Allison Holker). I feel like there's a lot of new blood in the ranks of the pros ----- and non of it tainted by Maks. It almost makes it worth him getting that ridiculous win to have him GONE!!!!" 
Ridiculous win???? -- guess this person wanted Derek to win or thought Maks had an unfair advantage with Meryl.  You know, you could be the best person in the world and some idiot will hate you!! There are many advantages to SM, but this is one of the disadvantages.
 

Thanks for clarifying Annie,  I didn't read far enough down.  After a few, I gave up.  IMO, it doesn't matter how much new blood they have in the ranks, the golden boy will always have all the attention.   I could be wrong, but Allison is not a ballroom dancer is she?  The season they tried having the other girl who wasn't ballroom was a mess.  Of course, she had a really bad celeb as a partner.  I do w onder if there really are enough Derek lovers to make ratings go up.

Afternoon, all.  Today was the first time I have been on the Pure site since last year.  I followed one of the links there to read about Season 19 speculation.  Mistake.  I immediately felt the same feeling I used to get in the past, reading most of the comments left by people.  This site has the nerve to call itself Puredwts???  It is just another PureDerekHough.  These people are so rude and biased, it's ridiculous!! It only took one comment to make me go off the site.  Someone said that Val is feeling blessed lately, guess he got his ringer again!  That hate towards anything or anyone Chmerkovskiy related is unbelievable!!  I happened upon this site during season 16.  I was rooting for Val and Zendaya.......they were so rude to a 16 year old girl, I couldn't believe it!!

OBSERVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read that sometimes Meryl wore one or more of Maks' bracelets.When they did the VW, I noticed a bracelet on Maks' left wrist. He was wearing only one, and it looked like a leather bracelet with a blue oval-shaped stone in the middle of it. When I saw it, during the critiques of the judges, this flash went through my mind that I had seen it on Meryl, but I couldn't remember where. Do any of you know? I didn't go back through all her dances to see, but this morning I was watching the GMA after party on YouTube (again), and there it was on Meryl!  Maks and Meryl were being interviewed outside (on the stage set up for the DWTS couples),sitting on chairs. When I saw it on Maks during the VW, I thought how cute it would be if they declared to each other that they are dating and decided to wear these matching bracelets (unless there is only one). DANG! This sounds like high school!!!!!!!!!!! When I was in school, during the Renaissance, and a couple decided to "Go Steady" (anyone else remember that term???), the boy gave the girl his ID bracelet to wear if he had one. Otherwise, his letter sweater or jacket, if he were into sports. Those ID bracelets were quite the thing and a great gift for a guy's birthday, Christmas, etc. 

There is a really good pic of the bracelet on tumblr (they aren't talking about it, though, it's just that I can see it). It's a Maksyl My Heart photo of meryl and Maks dancing at the after party.  Below the pic it says something about Meryl's hair is blue (but it was just a light behind it).
 

Actually, it says: Kiss Already on the first line.
