DWTS--the season Maks went bonkers

What the hell is going on with Maksim? I know he's always had a very healthy ego but he seems to be self destructing the past two weeks. I don't think he and Hope get along too well. The show seemed to be really casting him in the d-bag role last night and he looked MISERABLE.

Meanwhile, Rob didn't totally suck. David still reminds me of a over-stimulated puppy. Nancy can't jive to save her life. JR's tango was meh. I never liked Ricki (or Derek) so I don't watch them.

Re: DWTS--the season Maks went bonkers

I said the same thing last night. He's like losing his mind. I have LOVED Maks from day one. He is awesome, usually love his personality..this season though? Something is off. He REQUESTED Hope before this season ever started. He had a "thing" for her and wanted to dance with her. When he pushed her in rehearsals last night, even if it was just to get her shoulders back, I couldnt believe it! If he ever did that to me, I would have punched him in the head! Something is off with him..and Im sad to say it's making me not like him anymore!

In the end, I want JR to win. BUT, with that said. If DWTS remained what the show was supposed to about, I'd like to see Nancy Grace, Rob and David Arquette in the finals. They all have improved SO MUCH! I really want Hope to go home tonight..she's just AWFUL. If it's anyone else, I'll be PIS SED!!!!

I had no idea they requested their partners! I always wondered how they were paired.

Re: DWTS--the season Maks went bonkers

No, they usually don't request them. This season though, I remember hearing that Maks asked DWTS to try to get Hope on the show because he wanted to be with her. And apparently they listened. Not sure how true any of it is, apparently he had a huge crush on her. Other than that, I think they would like us to think its like out of a hat or something but Derek ALWAYS gets someone great!
