  1. Actually, I think in Derek's case at least, he was instantly a favorite because of the DWTS tour he did right before he was on the show. He was known by a couple of the viewers even before Season 5 started. Plus, his sister was arguably the favorite female pro at the time. As for the rest of the pros, I think there's been a pretty good diversity of them. At least until recently with all the Utah ladies taking over. The men are still pretty widespread though. But I agree they tend to hire men that are straight and no gay men (or women) at all. They could be a little better with that area.
  2. Thanks for the reply! That makes sense now, since I've heard some of the talking around Julianne and Mark's family sometimes. Their background is interesting too. I always wondered why Derek was so close to Mark and his family. Thanks again!
  3. Hey guys, anybody know Derek's background story as to why he moved all the way to London? Did his parents agree to that? I'm not judging them or anything, but I just thought that was different compared to the other pros. None of them moved to other countries for better dance skills without the parents did they? That's kind of weird to me, but fascinating at the same time lol.
  4. That's why I said "supposed" ringer. He himself assumed he could get to the final with her and after realizing she couldn't dance he got short-tempered with her the rest of the season. It's been stated that he specifically asked for Hope before the season started. He got his wish when he got her as a partner and it bit him in the ass big time. I agree he keeps things interesting, but, imo, it's definitely for the wrong reasons. He used to be one of my favorites, but after the last couple of seasons he doesn't even seem to enjoy it. What happens next season when his next partner isn't PR friendly or as capable to handle his tantrums? Is he going to be so humorous when he lashes out at the judges or whatever else doesn't go his way like the last couple of times? I'm not saying he's the only pro who does stupid crap, but he is by far the worst temperamentally and controversially in the group of pros and not in a good way at all.
  5. This coming from the guy who demanded for a supposed ringer in Season 13 and didn't get what he expected and then through a "woe is me" tantrum the whole rest of the damn season because she didn't meet his expectations. Not to mention all the chances he's had before. He screwed up big with Mel B after his freestyle choreography. Moreover, he had plenty of other opportunities with Erin and Brandy and even a few more. I am really trying to give Maks a chance this season after the whole Hope thing, but I just can't even with him anymore. He can get off my TV anytime now. I wish Val had gotten Meryl....or Mark or anyone else but him and his self-entitled ego.
  6. I find all this fan against fan crap hilarious on the different sites. I mean, as far as I can tell all the pros couldn't care less about all that he said she said crap. I wonder sometimes if they get a good laugh at all the hate and negativity toward other pros and themselves. I personally think all of them have a great respect for each other. I don't think all are besties but I do see them hanging out with each other on occasion.
  7. How do you know he's in contact with them directly? This is where I disagree. Even if he does know of the site how is he responsible for what they say and post on their websites? That's like saying Maks or Tristian is responsible for all their fans who tweet and leave hate comments to other pros too. Even if some fans listen, it isn't going to stop all the hate. I guess what I'm trying to say is no pro should have to be responsible for someone else's mistakes and hate on the internet of all places. It's a no win situation. However, I do agree with all that is said about the Pure site though. You can't even give an opinion on it without being attacked for it if they think it's anything against Derek. As far as voting, I personally don't know anything about that but I wouldn't put it past them. They need to realize that they are turning an enjoyable show and its pros into a battle of the fans. :(
