Hi everybody.  I didn't post yesterday and have not posted yet today because these two days have been filled with commitments and appointments and the book club.  And what an incredible discussion we had as we continued our discussion on "The Ethics Of Elfland."  I posted a quote from the "Ethics of Elfland" earlier this week to this board:  "The vision is always the fact; it is reality that is often the fraud."  And to my astonishment that is what one of the participants wanted us to consider in depth.  Great discussions from all sorts of perspectives are incredibly life giving.  And it is always delightful when someone who feels they don't understand something, suddenly has an awakening and away he or she goes.  Later they say, "I don't feel so stupid any more."    

On to DWTS.  My understanding was that Mark and Derek bought or were buying a house to repair and restore this summer and that it was to be a six week reality show.  I never folllowed up on what happened.  I would imagine that Mark has also been upset by what Julianne has said about his dad and probably some of the less than complimentary things in Derek's book. But then, any info I have read, I get from the rag mags; so it may all be wrong.

I personally believe that if Mark's partner is in the least bit likable she, like Candace will go far because of the fan base.  Candace's major fan base was much of the same fan base that supported Bristol Palin.  It is a momolithic fan base.  The very conservative Christian right that loves much of the entertainment and sports industry and wants to support those who are unabashedly and politically in agreement with them on matters like gay rights and abortion, I predict will support Sadie.  There may be a small percentage of them who will support Lolo Jones.  I do not know what Lolo Jones's position on either gay rights or abortion.  And Sadie will get the "gun tottin group" who now equate having a gun with being a Christian.  Sadie comes across as very sweet.  IMO, she will have a lot more than the Duck Dynasty fans voting for her.  These are strictly my opinions off the top of my head at this point.  

On MnM.  I made up my mind when Meryl quoted from the movie "The Winter's Tale" and then also later quoted song that seemed sad, that I should remember that not everything is necessarily a description of how either of them is feeling, not everything is a message.  I personally believed that what we saw was real, that they both knew it, but that it was going to be very, very hard to navigate especially this first year.  Both of them already had a calendar full of commitments with more commitments to be added.  We have talked about contracts with DWTS.  Does anyone know how long Meryl and Charlie are under contract and what said contracts include?

DWTS.  Personally, I do not see Maks as a pouter and poor loser.  I believe that he has said very little because he is legally bound to say very little.  I noticed that on the publicity for DWM nothing is said about him or Tonly winning the Mirrorball.  Several tumblrs noted that he did not say DWTS or Meryl's name that night.  That is so unlike how he was at all the BWAT events.  Also, because of his popularity as a dancer and his name recognition, I am wondering how happy/unhappy DWTS was with the idea of the new DWM studio.  I read somewhere that it was Elena's husband who suggested that they involve Maks and DWM, because Maks has the name recognition that they do not have to attract students and build their studio.  On the other hand, it may not have any relevance.  Whatever has happened, even if it is for the best for Maks, I am sure that it has been very difficult.  

 

Hey Kos * waving*  and i agree

I don't expect her to dance.  I am betting that the camera pans to her (she is sitting in the audience)......she is on 2 seconds.....and that is IT.......

i just can't picture her dancing with anyone but Maks....except maybe Val

 
Me neither. I just wonder how it all went south between Maks and dwts. I kinda think it may be been ugly.

I kinda think that, too, Jet. You know how Maks can get if Meryl isn't there to calm him.

KOS, you always bring such great insight, and I do read every word. Thanks so much. I had forgotten about the house flipping -- may have to look that up.
 

 
Thanks, KOS, for your wisdom and clarity on all topics!  It is always a pleasure to get your perspective.

I am in agreement with you that Maks is bound somewhere not to  say whatever he doesn't say.  I would agree that he pretty much knows how to cut loose and move on.  He has done it before but I'm sure it is also bittersweet.  It is always best to leave business relationships on a friendly note.  I'm sure Maks has tried to do that.

I heard or read that the Sherman Oaks studio is a franchise now--the first DWM franchise.  They needed the name and the advertising support and whatever other franchise bennies there are (high profile instructors, etc.) to try to turn it around apparently.  I think it has only been in business for about 6 mos.  I have no idea what the area and demographics of Sherman Oaks are like these days, but I rather suspect it's not like a higher income area that would be able to support a dance studio operation on its own.  I think they need to draw from a much larger area so need to be able to reach out effectively.  Plenty of people and space to tap into certainly but they have to promote, promote, promote.  Hopefully they will find success.  Not an easy time in CA to establish a new business and make a go of it.  All the folks with real jobs are leaving the state because of the taxes and lack of jobs.


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. Meryl
We fell in love, but our way. Maks

do you remember in the interview with Tony he said something like they were almost afraid to ruin what they have....maybe it's partly been a fear of losing each other if they went there and it didn't work....but maybe now they're finding themselves more willing to take that risk 

I think I do....something like that.

 
I think that had to do with the physical relationship part--and I think they at least went somewhere with that because Maks got "roaming hands" by Latin Week!!! That is kinda when they began getting noticeably cozier because the interviewers after the show started asking "what is going on with you two?" The chemistry became more intense. I think they were afraid that if things didn't go well in the intimacy part, they would not the ability to express what they were able to without that. /But "whatever we have" just got bigger and better!!! LOL

yeah there was definitely a change that week!!LOL

LOL...yeah and normally i would say for the premiere he would be there but i kind of will be suprised if he is.....because i think if he was going to be ABC would prob have said something by now....but i think they will see each other whether we know it or not...Maks said they always see each other when there in the same town

 I would expect that they are together as we are here chatting about them!!! LOL It's a weekend--and why would she fly in Monday a.m.?!!! LOL
