DWTS Media Thread

It looks to me like CA has/had a thing for Maks, and either they got it on and it did not work or he would not give her the time of day. No woman gets that passionate about making points against a man for nothing. It also seems that when a woman is decent looking that she has to be rude to them as well. If you notice uless they are with Derek the good looking girls just do not last that long.

Maks and Tony are great dancers. I could watch Maks jive all day long. I am sick of everyone acting like Derek is the best dancer on the planet when clearly all the pros are extremely talented. Aside from Mel B., Maks has had so many clunkers that it is ridiculous. Tony only had Melissa, and he got her by default. I am completely turned off by the fact that so many of these pros are treated like they cannot dance. Derek looks better than them for two reasons all the young girls swoon over his looks, and he has hardly had clunkers in his dancing partners. I would love to see him get a Wendy Williams or a Kate Gosselin type.

I would love for them to do an all star season and bring back one of the worst women and give them to Derek and than we could see what he could do. I would also love for Maks and Tony to get two of the women that won. I just guarantee you they would look as good as Derek with the right partners.

I would like to see what Derek could've done with Chaz! I really would. If I could pick anyone to be my trainer, it would probably be Derek, because I think he goes out of his way to encourage his partners. Plus I think he might actually be able to teach this awkward mover how to dance.

I don't agree with you that all the pros are as good as Derek, but I definitely agree that I too would like to see how Derek works with a clunker.

I thought Hope would have been more of a sport. I said that before, Maks rubbed off on her maybe.Or. maybe she's always been like that.I couldn't take to her (nothing to do with Makss) I think he had a hard time with her.

The Clicker - Did Carrie Ann take a parting shot at Maks and Hope after 'DWTS'?

C-A is in denial -- that tweet was totally about the increasing public outcry for her to be fired. I've never heard of someone who works for an entertainment TV show who decides that it's not her job the please its viewers. If not, what is her job exactly? To make nonsense gurgles and shrieks as a substitute for actual sentences and have that be accepted as critiques? Oh.

If not, what is her job exactly?

To oogle Rob Kardashian's butt.

I think CA was probably directing that at people attacking her on twitter. She's been noticeably quiet on twitter for once. I really hope if there's some power struggle going on in the background that CA doesn't win. She's just as replacable as the pros. She couldn't have made her feelings more apparent. It's why I think the show just doesn't care. People need to actually tune out for them to get the message. As long as people are watching and finding something to talk or complain about, nothing will change. They'll probably just up the ante. Last season we had Ralph getting hosed, this season it was Hope, and who knows next season. Granted, I know Hope wasn't the best dancer, but the only two dancers who got screwed early on were Kristin and Chynna (and to a lesser extent Elisabetta). But Carson, Chaz, Nancy, Rob, and even David (who I didn't think was as good as those 3) outlasted them, so it's not like Hope is some Bristol Palin. The show wanted this as their final 3, and they got it. If it happens again next season, if I tune in (it'll be hard without Maks, especially if I get a line up of pros I don't like and that is predictable with their pairings), I may tune out in the fall.

And I think it's absolute crap that the show didn't let Hope or Maks appear on Kimmel or GMA. Way to screw her over yet again. Apparently they must catch on that people are agreeing with them and are afraid what they're going to say. I'm glad Hope spoke up and said that it wasn't their choice.

According to Hope Solo's Twitter page, she wanted to be on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night. That choice was not made by her, so the article saying that she refused to do interviews after the elimination appear to be inaccurate. I wonder who leaked that? Her tweets certainly indicate otherwise.
