LAST two:

Chaz & Lacey
Hope & Maks









Going Home:

Chaz & Lacey

 

[andymattmom]

Think Chaz needed to go this week---he wasn't improving and wasn't dancing.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Yowza, watching the replay of Maks' temper fit wasn't too pleasant, especially since I'm a huge fan of his! Yikes, I have a feeling they won't be asking him back next season.

I'm glad to see Chaz go, he just couldn't dance and it is after all a dancing competition. Well, that and a bit of a popularity contest. I think Hope will go next week. Bruno's penguin comment was really uncalled for too.

 

[Mickeyistheman]

As much as I do love Chaz, it was either him or Hope, her Rhumba was really not that good at all.

Maks has always been this way, remember with Brandy when he called out Carrie Ann.

He was a out of line but that's who he is. I just think that he doens't like Hope, she can't really dance and I sick of her whining all the time.

She blames everyone but her and Len told her a few weeks ago, you have to practice all the time or else it won't show on the dance floor and I think that is the bigger issue. I think Maks is done with her.

Look at what he did last season with Kirstie Alley, come on he was great, I think he just doesn't like his partner.

Chaz did the best that he could and I am glad he was able to stay for a bit, he may have stayed a bit longer than he should have but good for him.

 

[bjscheel]

Does Corbin Bleu have a lisp? His voice sounds a bit off.

I thought it sounded like he had a retainer in or something!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Thank Goodness my Tristan is safe!!

 

[marybet]

I certainly don't think Chaz should continue in the competition, but he has a point. Bruno comments have been really patronizing.

I agree, I am so happy that they showed Chaz's comments. Bruno likes the pretty boys. He would not say that about a fat woman, but somehow it's okay to make fun of a fat man.

I just wish they would go back to it being the bottom two standing there at the end. Why put Hope through that if she isn't the bottome two? More proof that they are picking on Hope because I don't think she was the bottom two last week either.

I just watched the show because we had some more homework drama in our house. My DD missed 3 swim team practices, ballet and hip hop because of it. THANK GOODNESS she's done. I don't think that either one of us could stand another night of it.

Hmmm ... I think I have to disagree with you about our MMMaks. I think that he likes Hope fine, but he thinks that it is unfair that they gave Chaz a pass for 'trying' while ripping into poor Hope every week. Like I said last week, that poor girl couldn't do anything right. Last week she was too "willowy" and this week she's too "stiff". What the heck? I do think that MMMaks had a real connection with Kristie last season, but I don't think he dislikes or is 'done' with Hope. I think he dislikes and is 'done' with the uneven judging this season. He was sticking up for Hope, not throwing her under the bus.

Wow, was that all because of the homework procrastination you mentioned she did yesterday?

I agree. It doesn't matter if Maks has a hard time with his stars. He still does his best throughout. He also had a hard time with Erin, who he argued with all the time, because she wanted to do things her way, and with Brandy, because she was such a diva at the beginning. Brandy should have been in the finals, but was bumped by Bristol Palin.

I was afraid something like that was going to happen again with Chaz making it to the final 3 or 4. His fans brought him far, which was good for him personally. But, now with him gone, this is finally a dance competition.

Everyone thought Maks wouldn't be asked back a couple of seasons ago due to some drama he created then...I think that is exactly why he will be invited back. He is a great dancer, easy to look at and he provides drama which in turn results in ratings. The buzz from last night was repeated twice tonight on the show...if they didn't like that they wouldn't be showing it over and over.

Yup. She already had a HUGE assignment that she had been ignoring for weeks that was due tomorrow. Then yesterday I find out that (1) she was assigned a project in another class last THURSDAY and (2) she did not have the instructions with her. I made her sit her butt down and email the teacher herself asking for an extension. Tomorrow is the last day of the quarter, so that was the best she could do. She finished the first project at about 7:00 tonight and we (yes, we ) worked on the other one afterwards. I had a lot more direction and input than I would have usually wanted. *sigh* She's a good kid, but she has issues when it comes to getting things done in a timely manner. I wonder where she gets it from .

 

[Dee77]

I think Maks went overboard with his comments about the show being "his." That said, Chaz really did need to go, I will be curious if Hope steps up and pulls through a great performance to shut the judges (and therefore Maks) up!

I watched Lacey and Chaz on Jimmy Kimmel and he said that he practiced 3 or 4 hours a day with Lacey in the studio and that she sent him home with homework to do after. I guess that is why he didn't really improve or lose weight for that matter. I thought all of them are there for 7 or 8 hours a day in order to make it to the finals?????


Also- Apparently Cher has taken to twitter to attack the judges for "attacking her child on national television" hmmm interesting since she only showed up for one week and has herself not exactly made Chaz a real priority in her life but now through social media we are supposed to believe that she is the mother of the year. I feel bad for him on many different levels...

 

[RachelTori]

Maks will be on GMA shortly to go "inside the controversy" (according to Robin Roberts!)

It was time for Chaz to go, however I think Bruno owes him an apology. I thought Chaz's parting words were eloquent.

 

[java]

I have to say I am loving Hot Head Maks. And did you hear him just say the last time he apologized was to his Grandmother on her death bed and he's not going to apologize to Len or especially Karianne.

So is the show losing ratings? Is that why this "controversy"

 

[snapppyd]

Wow, I love Maks!

In a way he was defending Chaz as well as Hope.

The other night he was angry, seemingly because Chaz "walks" around the floor and gets almost the same marks as Hope, who is really trying to dance. But today he said, and I completely agree, it is not right that the judges can compare them to animals and get away with it. Am I right in thinking he took exception to Bruno calling Chaz a little penquin?

And I love the fact that he is happy to be in America where he can speak his mind.

With all that said, it should be very interesting next week if he doesn't apologize at all to Len, will they take it out on Hope?

OH!!!! Love that he called out Derek - saying he'd he happy too if he always got the best partners


LOVE YOU MAKS!!!!!!!

 

[RachelTori]

snapppyd: to everything you said!

Maks is authentic and bravo to him for telling it like it is!!

 

[happygirl]

I think Maks is a hothead, I hope he's not asked back next season. There is no reason to be disrespectful To Len and the other pros.

 

[Traveliz]

But Bruno is disrespectful too - often to the dancers - calling Chaz a penquin?

Len too says things to dancers that are often crossing the line.

Cari Ann, though, I don't remember every saying anything disrespectful to dancers.

Just saw a commercial for Extra, "Len and Maks face to face after the confrontation". Should be interesting....
