Is Maksim Quitting 'Dancing?'


Maksim Chmerkovskiy was long thought to take the "Dancing" crown with Mel B., but is the runner-up now swearing off the show for good?

Mad Maks told "Extra" last night he may have other plans now that season five has wrapped.

"If this is the limit of where I can get in a show, then let it be," Maks said. "I'm satisfied and moving on."

He also revealed he's already got several other projects lined up, including a show in Sin City.

Maks and Mel were the best. I don’t care what everyone else thought. I hate that he isn’t going to be on DWTS anymore. I basically watched the show cause of him. Maks is just so fine.

It is too bad that America’s audience cannot tell the difference between real dance talent and popularity. Mel and Max were the best, hands down. Maks is right when he thinks that the voting is more a popularity contest than a dance contest (obviously when Sabrina and Mark got voted off before some others that should have). My vote was for Max and Mel the most talented couple this season.

Maks said this at the BEGINNING of the season … it’s not sour grapes. He has more creative, productive, and rewarding opportunities than this shallow popularity contest. He promotes true dancing, DWTS doesn’t. They’ve been lucky to have him as such a model spokesperson for so long. I support him moving on to wherever he wants, whenever he wants.

Max don’t quit - you are why I watch Dancing With the Stars - you are amazing……….please remember that the American people voted in BUSH twice - DUH!!!! So the voting system does not reflect the BEST dance team at all - you and Mel should have won hands down! In the first season Canadians got to vote for Dancing with the Stars………if we would have voted this season you and Mel would have won for sure! Around the water cooler here in Canada all the talk was about how GREAT you and Mel were and you were both consistently great and got better with each dance. This was the best dance relationship you had so far - you and Mel! So please come back next year so we can all enjoy watching you dance again. You once said on the show that you are not about tricks that you are all about the dance…….it is so true. Keep the faith Max - you are wonderful!

I was very disappointed to see the
final winners. I thought this show was
based on who was the best performer, not
the most popular. Max & Mel out danced
all the contestants and they should have
won the competition.

MAKS!!! Say it ain’t so! I really didn’t need to hear this TODAY — ‘cause today already sucked enough for me. I’m crushed that you and Mel didn’t win. I know you’ve got a million opportunities in your career (and would be BRILLIANT at any of it), but you’d be disappointing so many of us by ditching the show. My advice — go on tour with Mel (you can be “Hot Spice”), spend time in NY, rest, have fun, and then come back to DTMS in March and continue to do what you do best ~ dazzle and entertain.

I hope Max does leave him and Mel act like they where better then everyone and no one is better then anyone, there attitude stunk and he is NO pretty boy { I would spit on him }he’s such a jerk and MEL B isn’t all that either all they do is slander other people

Mel & Maks should have won, they scored the highest throughout the whole series and danced like they had been dancing together for a long time and had so much fun and chemistry together…total shame if he left the show.

Maks and Mel were beyond great!!! They should have won…Maks attitude towards “poor Marie” may have cost him the win…This was only a populartiy contest, in America, as usual!!! Maks, I can’t wait to see you in Vegas,,,you are hot, and I love your ATTITUDE!!!!

Maks please don’t leave, you are so hot and cute. I loved watching you and Mel and i was so upset by the result. I cried afterwards and was really upset today. I couldn’t get it out of my mind all day. You are a great teacher and dancer, if you keep going then you will win. But i understand if you don’t. I love you and thiught you were right about Marie.

I think Maks is awesome, totally gorgeous and has every right to adore himself. I think Maks and Mel should have won, they were the best performers although Helio has a great presence about him. I love you Maks! Oh yeah and by the way I am totally pissed off about the headline when you look up Maks on Youtube it reads “…hot, sexy shirtless and gay!!” If he is gay so be it, but I really hope not caus’ a girl likes to dream…if ya know what I mean.

Mel and maks should’ve won. Period. I was like, in tears last night when they announced Helio and Julliane as the winners.

Maks is sore loser and his rude comments toward marie were totally disrespectful and I hope he leaves the show - dwts is a wonderful show for professionalism-he just doesn’t fit the bill-he knows the highest votes cast is for the winner-to bad maks you didn’t make it-grow up and stop acting like a baby and accept it-the best couple won

It really sucks that Mel & Maks did not win. Although, Helio & Julianne were good, I saw a lot of mistakes in their final routine. Mel B. has improved signficantly from the first round

I am very relieved that Mel and Maks did NOT win the dance competition last night! I think Maks’ attitude STINKS! He has been totally dissing Marie to the media right and left, and that is SO unprofessional and childlike of him; it only shows how low he can go, as well as his jealousy for her. Why would he say those terrible things publicly about her and not even bother telling them to her face? She knew nothing about what he was saying to the media, whatsoever, and yet she kept treating him as a true friend. Talk about a SPOILED BRAT LOSER MAKS IS!!! I heard him on a brief interview on our local news here in So. Calif. and he did say that NO, he will definitely NOT be returning to DWTS after this, and the interviewer asked him why, and he said because he “misses his mother too much”, so he’s going home to Mommy… probably to cry on her shoulder… oh, BOO-HOO, what a little spoiled baby!!!! Talk about UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! He definitely needs to grow up! I’m GLAD that he won’t be returning to the show, otherwise, I would never watch it again, if he were to come back, that’s for sure!

i agree that Helio and Julianne benefited from their superior freestyle being last but their first dance sucked, and all the judges agreed it was lackluster. so good for him he got votes for that but at the same time Mel beat him in the other round because of his horrible footwork. I understand now why voting ends half an hour after the show because you get a crazy advantage having the last performance cause people practically forget all the other numbers by then
