(-: At least so far no one stands out as really poisonous, that's something. And I will say this: I thought Keo wasn't ready the first time around and should have started in the troupe. But he was great with Charo, not everyone would have been good-natured enough to make it a pleasant experience for everyone involved. He pulled it off. And he and Barbara come across rather well so far as well. Barbara is in excellent physical shape and she is usually up for a good time on Shark Tank so I think she might be one of the better partners Keo has had as long as he can do good choreography and keep his own ego in check.

I've been a Debhead for almost 30 years and even though I'm not as fanatical about her as I was when I was eleven, lol, I still love her and hope she does well. She's a great songwriter and producer and she's done several big Broadway shows (Les Miz, Beauty and the Beast, Cabaret) but my recollection from the 1989 Electric Youth tour is that dancing was not her strong suit lol.

madpsych78 September 16, 2017 Share September 16, 2017 4 hours ago, Hello Lady said: Very unfair. I adore Sasha. I thought that height was a factor in why Sasha did not get a partner this season - in seasons past, his tallest partner was actually Kim Fields at 5'0". Until I looked up both his height and Mark Ballas's height and found that Sasha is actually an inch taller than Mark (5'7" vs. 5'6"). And not all of Mark's partners were that short (e.g., Bristol, who was the same height as Mark). That being said, the female cast, with the exception of Lindsey, is medium to tall height this season (this is without factoring in heels). Victoria Arlen - 5'7" (w/6'0" Val) Nikki Bella - 5'6" (w/5'10" Artem) Barbara Corcoran - 5'10" (w/6'3" Keo, yes he is taller than Maks) Debbie Gibson - 5'6" (can't find Alan's height, but guessing at least 6'0") Vanessa Lachey - 5'7" (w/6'2" Maks) Sasha Pietrese - 5'6" (w/6'1" Gleb) Lindsey Stirling - 5'3" (w/5'6" Mark) And just for fun, the guys: Derek Fisher - 6'1" (w/5'6" Sharna) Jordan Fisher - 5'8" (w/5'6" Lindsay) Nick Lachey - 5'9" (shorter than I expected) (w/5'7" Peta) Frankie Muniz - 5'5" (w/5'3" Witney) Terrell Owens - 6'3" (w/5'4" Cheryl) Drew Scott - 6'4" (w/5'5" Emma) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3643168

Typically, Pros haven't performed due to injury reasons that are always well documented on camera. I don't think in all my years of watching this show, I've ever heard the, "personal reasons" excuse given for a Pro not performing with their celebrity. Unless some other commitment causes them to miss a performance but again, that's usually well documented. So it's clear there was something really off going on. And while People has had some gaffes in recent years, I feel like they wouldn't run this if they didn't have some solid source that provided the info. If this is true, can they finally just permanently get rid of Maks? Whatever appeal or ratings they think Maks brings in or he used to once upon a time, it ain't there no more. He's someone who obviously hates the show with a passion but has to keep coming back because it's the only thing that keeps him semi-relevant and that just makes him even more bitter.

WhosThatGirl October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 Yeah ever since he returned- which I was excited about it when he came back- he hasn’t seemed all that into it or his partners. I thought he and Heather would have made a good team but he never seemed into it and then he got hurt and she worked better with Alan when Maks wasn’t able to. If he’s done.. he should be done. The fact that Tom said it was a personal thing and both his brother and wife were there.. I mean.. the people article makes the most sense. And it’s not a stretch to hear Maks has a problem with a partner, I’m more surprised when he gets along with his partners. I will say it is strange that Banessa is the one that’s caused him to miss a show for a night, I agree with someone who said on the episode thread that Hope and him were always fighting on camera many times and he never not did a live show.

DucksFlyTogether October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 I think everyone (within the show, not necessarily the viewers) wanted Alan to be the next big thing and were disappointed that he left the first week. He would have probably been Vanessa's partner if not for the stupid married couple rivals thing that they had to push. I hope Maks falls into a black hole and Alan keeps working. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3689547
WhosThatGirl October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 They’re talking about Vanessa and Maks drama on E Daily pop right now and they’re making similar comments we have on these forums- how Maks is over it and how if you have a problem with work or a coworker you still have to show up and do it. They also mention how it’s strange that both Vanessa and Maks husband and wife are dancing together still and how it must be a little awkward for both couples. They also mention how this could be a publicity stunt too.. Which.. maybe? If Maks returns next week this is going to have he addressed right? Or do we think it’s going to be brushed under the rug? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3689573
spanana October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 If true, it really must be very awkward for Nick and Peta, who seem to get along just fine themselves. Because do you defend your partner? Though Peta seems to be a fairly go with the flow person and Nick seems decently laid back. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3689664

Maks is an unattractive, uncreative boor (and bore) to me so I agree. I enjoyed Vanessa for the first time with Alan last night. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3689692
Miss Slay October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 I hope this isn't true - and it's just producers trying to drum up publicity. Although, that is still sad - and the show doesn't need it. If it is true, Maks needs to bow out of this show. He lost interest after he won the mirror ball. Vanessa can't be that bad. He's had way more difficult partners - hello Hope Solo! Either way- he still has to show up. Vanesa has potential and deserves a partner who gives 100%. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3689706
WhosThatGirl October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 (edited) Again.. though what bothers me is that Maks was gone for at least two maybe more years? I guess he really wanted money and that’s why he came back as they offered some nice sum of money but.. he has seemed over it since his return with Amber. So.. I don’t know. I think what I find annoying is his attitude and the fact that he’s putting in n zero effort and then not showing up and probably still getting a paycheck. Let someone else be a pro. I want to know why he producers seem hung up on him. I get Val, because he seems nice and always like he’s having a good time, but Maks rarely ever does, especially now. Eta: per Maks instagram- I guess he will be back next week according to the caption- and actually he changed it before I was able to screenshot, before it said something about Alan being relieved of his duties officially as of last night or something.

chocolatine October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 If it was Vanessa's choice to dance with another partner, then the show really threw Maks under the bus with the cryptic "personal issue" comment. If it was Maks's choice to sit out though, it was egregiously unprofessional and he needs to get fired. Bring back Tony, who put up with the worst personalities, always with a smile. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3690310

I mean.. who knows. I’m thinking something happened between the two during this weeks reherseals-we didn’t see any footage with Maks and Vanessa practicing- and both parties were in foul moods and it was a decision made by both of them to not work together. I guess there’s no word that could’ve been used to explain why he was MIA last night but the fact that they used “Maks has a personal issue” makes it seem all on him and I don’t think that’s the case, I also don’t think Vanessa is to blame 100% either. I think both parties were not in the mood to deal with each other. This shouldn’t be a thing though. I guess Maks has clout and he can decide he doesn’t want to dance and still get paid, but still it doesn’t make sense. He clearly doesn’t want to be there. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/30/#findComment-3690549
