Gunner is just really upset by Maks' actions with bikini babe....from the first photo. She signed on that night and signed right off--with only like one or two posts. The next nite she came back and was on for a little while and said she was taking a break.

Hmmmmm

guys...just want to put this out there....it's coming from my heart....the last few days have been much more than rough waters for our ship it's been more like a hurricane...we don't know whats going on with Maks and Meryl and well i wish i had a magic wand to wave and make it all better but i don't...when we first met on the ABC boards we were all just some random people who had a mutual affection for two dancers....but something happened along the way...we have become so much more than that... we have become friends....friends who understand and support each other....the less than 20...we can't nor should we control MNM....what happens between them is theirs...this is just my opinion but i think we need to let go of alot of the stressing and worrying over everything...let's just "Let it Be" by the beattles....we will get answers one day but that may be a long ways away....in the meantime no matter where we stand on the relationship we can still be fans of theirs and their dancing and celebrate that...after all it gave us each other....i like coming on here in the evenings and hearing about how all your days went and having fun with our parties and supporting each other....that is "ours" ....and i want it to stay "ours" so yes while we still follow tweets and instas and gossip about whats going on with them and talk about our feelings about them whether they be good or bad and post pics and videos can we just still remember that at the end of the day whats theirs is theirs and whats ours is ours and not stress so badly??? i'm still here holding hands...and i will send Cek in her James Bond boat and Jet in her airplane and Val in his swim trunks and Carries track team and Cassidy's grandson (to tackle them) after anyone that falls off because this ship isn't just about the romance (though thats part of it) it's about celebrating two people who are responsible for bringing us together....whether they are together or not...we're going to have ups and downs and we will support each other through them...but can we let out a collective deep breath and just let go of some of the stress...and just channel Doris Day and the "Que Sera Sera" song....and LOL... we have a whole new season coming up to cheer on our PLL and Val and diss Derek and rant about Julianne and laugh at Peta trying to figure out Tommy Chong and Whitney doing the Carlton and Mark meeting Uncle Si and getting to know Keo and Allison....what do you say anyone with me on not stressing so much????

Agreed we need less stress; the only way I can do that right now is to write scenarios in my head that has them getting together. Maybe I'll write a movie script and submit it!HAHA My son knows Steve Buscemi so maybe he can tell me what to do. I KNOW this is ridiculous talk, but it's the only way I can deal at the moment. Thanks for your input, April.

annie it will be ok and we have each other...oh and I love Steve Buscemi!!!

Ok, if someone needs a shoulder to cry on or a long, tight hug in addition to holding a hand, they are on offer too. It helps to know who so I'm my avatar in this time of crisis or what we collectively perceive as crisis. Love to you, sisters. xoxoxo

Thanks, Gabriele. You are a dear!

April, you're the one who posted the videos for us; you know, the four videos that explained how Maks feels about Meryl. He articulated so beautifully his opinion of her, his admiration, so many great things he said that it almost sounded like a Nicholas Sparks novel. How could he go from that to the man we think we are seeing now?
I don't want anything I say to sound like a defense of Maks or Meryl; I'm just trying to make sense of it all because that's how my psyche works. It's easy to defend Meryl, but I don't know about Maks now. I'm wondering if he's sort of gone off the deep end over the DWTS thing. If you saw him on Extra when Tony asked if he would like to judge, Maks' face lit up and he said, of course I would judge -- I have a lot to say! I think he took it for granted that he could be hired as a judge, and when that didn't happen, it may have thrown him into a tailspin. He may be acting out now without saying it but perhaps his attitude is this: Well! DWTS rejected me and some people may look down on me for that, so I'll show everybody! I'll go on this five-day luxury trip to Italy and take a woman with me. How many of YOU were important enough to be invited? He may actually be trying to mask pain and going about it all wrong.
Let's face it -- he's not going to marry this girl unless he has gone completely off the deep end. And, if he were to do something so foolish, it wouldn't last.
He may be worried about future ventures too. First -- acting. He has no guarantee of being successful at this and he must know it. That has to be scary.
Then, the jewelry. I sincerely hope and pray that I don't offend anyone here -- we all have a right to our different tastes. Maks is dealing with the men's jewelry, and, let's face it, most men won't wear jewelry other than a watch or wedding ring. Two women who interviewed Maks for a TV (or radio) show said they would love to buy a piece for their husbands, but they don't wear jewelry. Remember the gold chains of the 70s? That was a fad that didn't last too long. Most men who would go around now with a shirt unbuttoned down to there and a chain on would be ridiculed. The biggest clients for this would be for a costume (Halloween or other) or dancing. Hipsters and gays would go for it, but most hipsters couldn't affort it . The stuff is NOT cheap. This is an Italian company, and Italians don't always have the same tastes as Americans. Italy is where most of the jewelry would be sold, and I don't know if Maks' promotion of it would do that much good.
I'm just rambling and rattling and trying to made sense of the world and hope I haven't offended anyone. If you disagree with me, I won't be upset, and would want to know. I get a lot from others' opinions that are different from mine.

Annie i don't know what's going on with Maks...i wish i did...but i don't think there are any cut and dried answers...we are trying to understand him from our points of view on life and thats not going to work because he comes from a different place...i think Meryl understands his world because the ice skating world is similar to the dance world...or why he's doing different things...but right now all i do know is that since he came back from India this man who has done so much to help with charities that are aimmed at preventing bullying and abuse....has himself been the recipient of it on sm....he is going through alot of big life changes right now too....so maybe we don't need to understand him...maybe we just need to "hold his hand"...while he works it out...

The second post kind of sums up, I think, what a lot of us are feeling. We became so accustomed to seeing Maks and Meryl together in rehearsal, doing their dances, and all the PDA. Also, when (more than once) Maks talked about pursuing the relationship, we expected them to do just that, and we haven't seen much of that. A lot of it was due to their having so many obligations to meet. Whether or not M&M end up together, I would be totally shocked if he really pursued DB. Also, it is puzzling that he admired so much the genuineness of Meryl -- "no Hollywood in her, humble after coming off a huge win at the Olympics, no mood swings, no craziness" -- and yet he seems to be immersing himself in that crazy world. Maybe he can't get away from it. I don't understand how this charity trip can enhance his career and would love for someone to explain it to me. This seems like a superficial kind of life that most people would not be fond of, but I guess when you have been in this kind of world for a while, it becomes important. Maks likes to drop names, and I understand this but don't necessarily admire it. I think it makes him feel important, as it does many people, but it makes him come across as a sycophant. I, myself, have been like that, only with people who are much less well-known so I do understand it. Oh, well, just expressing thoughts here.

Reposting because no one responded to my paragraph -- maybe it wasn't worth responding to, but I wanted to see who agrees or disagrees with me.

LOL i was responding just took me a bit to type LOL

You nailed it, Annie. Hollywood is extremely superficial--I think most of them live in a non-reality world. someone like Maks, who has an inferiority complex anyway (which is masked as ego), tries to live in that world and it is pretty much impossible to do. It must be a real struggle for him. I personally have little respect for most of Hollywood. It is fake and full of hype! It is also full of ups and downs--and fraught with tragedy. But some people apparently love hob-nobbing and feeling they are important by association (I mean no one specific in that comment). Despite Maks saying he is more humble now (and he was from what we saw in S18), I think he has a long way to go to get to true humility. He has a lot of pride--and pride goeth before a fall (my mother always said!). True humility is selflessness, which I see in Meryl as a true part of her character but that is something that takes time and really working on yourself to attain (if you didn't learn it as part of your early childhood). It means letting go of your ego--which is very difficult for most people, and even more so for men. You have to learn to just not care what anyone thinks and be secure enough in yourself to do the right thing in every situation no matter how others treat you; if they poop on you, you have to forgive them and let it go. Life is much easier when you are humble enough to say "I'm sorry". I think that may be difficult for Maks.
