Dancing's Maks Predicts Donny for the Win, Says Dmitry "Dropped the Ball"

TV Guide — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:28:00 -0500

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for your comments. Let's get right down to it, shall we?

I've gotten a lot of reactions about my tweet last night about Mya and Dmitry's paso doble looking similar to mine and Mel's. There is no way I'm going to get out of this sounding like an angel, but that dance was copied. I'm flattered, but contrary to what people think, I am not upset about it and don't look it in a negative light. It was a fantastic dance and I didn't say anything derogatory about it. Mel called me yesterday and I got messages from thousands of people on Twitter about it. Mel loved it! We both loved it! They did their thing. I was like, "Bam! Awesome!" Mya's an incredible dancer and it was a well-deserved 30. To my and Mel's supporters who are mad, don't take it personally. To everybody who's mad about my tweet and think ...

Dancing's Maks Says the Pressure's on Donny, Wants a Radio Show

TV Guide — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:05:00 -0500

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for all of your comments. It's been such a long season. Can you believe it's the finals now?

From what I see, what I know and what the little birdie told me, the pressure is all on Donny. I was saying all along — and I think everyone has been saying all along — that this guy is going to be in the finals. He's in the finals now, but what is he going do? Kym has been in the finale before and I think she is going to try to outdo herself and will pull out some things for the freestyle.

It's kind of been a theme of this show that the freestyle wins the competition. I don't know what it is about it. There's where Gilles lost it last season. I don't know what happened with Mel and me. I've never heard a negative comment about our freestyle — even the judges liked it. It was hip-hoppy but we did get a perfect score, so I don't know. Still, it's been a ...

Dancing's Maks: I'm Very Happy for Kelly

TV Guide — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0500

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments again. I've been busy the last couple days, so I haven't been able to write, but there's a lot to cover now.

I'm a little upset Joanna's out, but it's the nature of the show. People vote for their favorite to stay in. I am happy for Kelly. I think Kelly had a huge comeback week. Huge! She was kind of losing steam and she came back with a vengeance. I'm not going to say her dances were the dances of the night - clearly they weren't - but I think it was a very big step for herself. I'm not sure if I loved her rumba, but it was cool to see Kelly do something that she would probably never do in her life. There are certain dances that she looks ...

Dancing's Maks: It Was "Pretty Obvious" Aaron's Time Was Winding Down

TV Guide — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:13:00 -0500

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a great weekend! Are you all ready for the semis?

It's unfortunate Aaron left last week since he was a good dancer, but also, it's a shame for them to get eliminated after scoring that high and to know there's not a big fan following. I think it goes to show it's all about the votes. It is what it is. I personally think they knew they were going to go. It was pretty obvious when you get sent to a dance-off with two 10s that your time may not last too much longer. But stranger things have happened. He was one of the better dancers, but I guess not one of the ...
