Here's an interview with Maks I just ran across from 2011.   He reveals he was at the World Trade Center on 9/11 and saw the first plane hit.   Gave me chills!

Can you tell I'm doing things other than working?   Gotta get back to it!

Thanks again for bringing these over!   I was finally able to watch them, albeit with lots of stops and starts, this morning.   What I wanted to see was what Maks was saying when he put his hand on her hands folded in her lap.   And I was rewarded!   That's the point where he said he was uncomfortable talking about himself (he didn't really seem like it), that this was her win.   I think she said "It's all you" like she did when they won.   But really that whole interview was all about Maks, and she seemed to love it.  You didn't even get a glimmer of any dissatisfaction in her eyes about them focusing on him instead of her.   IMHO, that's love!
 

I agree with you tango...I guess I find it hard to understand, but yet do understand in a way why and how two people that I personally feel are right for each other and with all the little indications between the two of them from at least Week 3 of DWTS most likely feel the same way...can and do keep such a distance in public, is it fear of the unknown because both of their lives are on totally different paths than they have ever know (Meryl not competing, Charlie getting married, their Ice Dance future kinda up in the air, college...and Maks not competing on DWTS, trying a new career, acting, changing management companies, new dance studios and both not getting any younger)...Is it all of that, could it be the commitments that Meryl has, she must keep a low profile as far as who she associates with and confirm all her doings with her management and PR people...especially with all the rumors that swirl around Maks every day...I just feel that somewhere deep inside both of them they want to express how they feel...(Maks as basically said that and Meryl has never actually denied it) to the world...If anything is a true sign of how they feel one only needs to watch them when the camera is not just on them but even when they are really not on camera...that should tell you!!!
I have not idea if any of that makes any sense but there it is....

hey just wondering....does anyone know about the DWTS contracts???  i remember hearing somewhere...don't remember where...back about midway through the season when people were really starting to talk about the MNM chemistry that someone said that there was a clause that said as long as they were connected to their current season that the pro's were not allowed to date the stars....well if that is true it could explain some of it...James and Peta could date openly because their connection to season 18 ended after the finale, but as reigning champs MNM's connection to season 18 won't end until the finale of season 19 when the new champs are crowned....so wouldn't be allowed to date yet...at least not publically......what do you guys think??????

DWTS is very, very secretive about the contracts.   For instance, the only way we have to know how much the stars are paid is because when Shawn Johnson was on the show, she was minor (and I assume for Zendaya as well), and her contract had to be made public.   I don't think anyone knows for sure even about the pros.   It would surprise me greatly if there was a no dating clause.   It seems to be rather common knowledge (or at least commonly believed) that a lot of the couples over the years have slept together and/or even dated.   There was a DWM video where I believe it was Maks told someone that there was no dating your teacher.   However, that was DWM, not DWTS, and I saw as somewhat tongue in cheek.

Good Saturday morning all!  Hope you all are going to have a great Labor Day weekend1

Sorry I missed you last nite.  We ended up going out to dinner with some friends we hadn't seen in a while--fairly impromptu thing.  Ended up trying to watch a movie at their house afterwards but they are as technologically challenged as the rest of us--HAHA!!  It was hilarious actually--couldn't get the DVD to load so we just drank wine instead!!  LOL  In all fairness, tho, they had changed out some boards in the TV recently which presumably caused the problem.  Just had fun teasing them about it--and it's so me to not be able to operated the DVD player!!  Grandkids are old enough to do it for me now!!  LOL

Anyway--on the MnM comments, CEK, I think you expressed what we all think and feel very well!!!  Makes perfect sense to me!!  It is in fact frustrating for all of us not to know what is going on with them (are we just nosy losers or what?!! HAHA).  Truly we have no right to know anything they don't want us to know but somehow we think we should be privy to their lives!!!!  LOL  Social media has in large part created this expectation, so logically people think that they should put stuff out there to assuage our curiosity.  So it is, I suppose, a dichotomy for them as well as for us. 

I believe they are together more often than they let us know, that they are in close contact daily, and that they are trying to figure out where they are going and how they are going to get there.  So tactically I think they are flying below the radar as much as is humanly possible to reduce expectation and curiosity--while strategically working on where they are and where they are going long-term.  Maks, being older and having had more female relationships (I assume), has a more defined understanding of what he wants in a soulmate--and knows he has found it.  Meryl, otoh, had apparently a somewhat tenuous relationship for the 3 years prior to meeting Maks, so she has more to sort out.  I doubt she had any expectation that in 3 mos. she would be in love with a guy who wanted to get married NOW!  She is also more cautious by nature, so I think they both want to have it worked through as much as possible before their break-out announcement or photo together somewhere.  I don't think either of them wants to come out and not be certain where they are going together.  I think it was a bit into the relationship before Maks and Kate Upton were even seen together--and I don't know that folks were even speculating on who he was dating then.

In short, I think it will all come together and come out eventually--but we, being not so patient in this arena, tend to question "whatever it is they have" that they want to be "off cameras."

Meanwhile, everyone will certainly need to attend your Snooping and Reporting Maksology class since we are not getting any real clues!!!  Might have to create our own!!!!  At least we have done a lot of advanced planning (of the wedding and kids' names, etc.) for them--SHOULD they decide to take advantage of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Message Board and Counseling Service!!!  LOL
