I think Maks gave an honest answer to each question, and I totally agree with him. I think Marie as a dancer should be long gone from the show. She may have a huge fanbase but if that’s what counts, then change the name of the show to “Comparing Fanbases With the Stars”, since it’s just a popularity contest. It’s a total slap in the face to people who have worked their butts off and done MUCH better *cough*Sabrina*cough*, for Marie to be anywhere NEAR the finals.

Max is the biggest jerk I’ve ever seen on this show. He is cocky and arrogant and thinks he can do no wrong. I like Mel, but it is hard to be for someone who happened to be paired with the biggest jerk on the show! I liked a lot of the dancers this year…Max was not one of them! I will be very happy if Marie wins! She did not anticipate her father dying and many other things that happened. Also, she was not the only one on shows to “promote” herself. I’ve watched many segments on Julianne and Helio. They’ve managed to be on shows and ET also if by some chance you haven’t watched. So was Cameron and others. So, THERE!

Well, Maksim is right about the dancing aspect and the fact that this is a dancing competition and clearly the best dancers have not made it to the finals. What I do not agree with Maksim over is his comment about “women” and all their “problems.” What a mysoginistic thing to say! Men don’t have deaths and problems too? Maksim not every American woman is in crisis and crying and watching Lifetime Television for Women. ok?

Just watched the finals and Marie behaved horribly. Her dancing was mediocre at best, and then she was such a poor sport when getting her comments from the judges. She was hysterical tonight.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I can’t stand MARIE!!! Annoying as can be! She should have been the first person kicked off!!!!! GET RID OF HER!!

Ohhhh Max I used to adore you why you did this it does not show alot of class or good sportmanship to talk about Marie like that while the competition is still going on. I know they set you up on this interview but you still could of kept your opinion to yourself and lets face it if there was not someone who was entertaining on the show and not just good dancers their would not be a show not many people would watch. I also think Max could of considered Maries feelings what ever happen to that in this country common courtesy people.

This is a dance show, I agree with Maks Marie can’t dance and she shouldn’t be in the finals……I think the votes should be judges 75% and fans 25% if all it takes to win the trophy is to get your fans to vote then why do they even have judges!!!! It’s suppose to be about how well you can learn to dance, not how well you can entertain!!!

First of all, Max was asked a question and he didnt bash anyone, he simply stated his professional opinion and also its not the first person to discuss this. Lets put it this way if Marie wins the show is nearing its end Max and Mel are fabulous from week one and so is Helio and Juilianne; marie is just not in their league for this competition. she looks great and god bless her, but Max is super straightforward honest and professional. america freedom of speech. If you think about it the judges have been trying to say for weeks that it was time for Marie to go home.

Ok, I’m completely turned off now from Mak…I’m voting for the person he is bashing….

Maksim is responding to the questions honestly from his view point.
In addition, he articulates well and mentions what many of us in the office have already observed.

However Mel is not the best dancer either. Her dance step may be on the mark, but posture needs improvement. You wonder what she is looking down at.

I really enjoy watching and look forward to another season.

I have always admired Marie and the Osmonds, but Marie absolutely does not belong in the finals. She is very clunky out there on the dance floor (at this stage, she should be floating) .. and those that are dancing their butts off are getting cut just because she has a million Osmonds voting for her? It’s not fair. We all have eyes, and she’s not graceful on the dance floor and to be honest, some of her moves are very forced. She has done a great job, and I admire her for doing this in the first place, and for losing the weight. However, she needs to sit down and stop trying to make this into a Donny & Marie show. It’s not. Donny had no business predicting the winner since we all know who he is picking to win! It’s very obnoxious to watch. That alone turned me off. Marie, honey, go home and be with your children. They need you. I love the other 2 couples, so I really don’t care which one wins, they are both awesome WAY different league than Marie. People, wake up and vote, don’t make it an Osmond fan club. This is Dancing with the Stars, not STOMP.

Maks has an ego bigger than his head. Right or wrong about Marie, he should keep his thoughts to himself so at least it would keep problems from happening backstage. I personally think he shouldn’t be on the next DWTS

I THINK MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY VISIT THE NEW TV SHOW IS EXTRA FOR THIS WEEK IN NOVEMBER 2007.

I think Maks is a first class jerk. Poor Mel to be stuck with someone who ruins her excellenxe with his big mouth. Tonight my votes and all my friends votes will be for Marie. I wish they had a “Hell No” vote so we could put Maks in his place - which is wherever he came from. Does he have enough sense to know what he has done?
Doubtful!!

It’s strange that someone would call Mel a witch for what Maks says and then say he’s sexy. This isn’t George Orwell’s 1984 where there’s mind control and thought police. Maks was simply honest. If the truth offends some people so badly, then I wonder what would happen to them when a real problem comes along. I love Maks honesty and I love Mel B’s grace. She has not said one unkind word about anyone in this contest and that’s not true for some of the other contestants. I love Melanie and Maks.

Maks is a dummy. He’s not all that and neither is his partner - just because she can slap a whip - give me a break. He is so jealous of Marie. She is talented and has been performing and entertaining people for years. Hers are NOT Sympathy votes - they are votes for a pure dancing entertainer. Go Marie - hope Maks is in last place.

Shame on you Max. You have a bad attitude and “whine, whine, whine!
Marie will win because she has style and class. You — have none.

Max your are a conceited snob. You have shown your true colors and I would not vote for you if you were the last dancer on earth. I never liked you — now I cannot stand you. You have no class. Marie Osmond will win because she has class and style.

I think that Mak is right and no one else wants to admit it. Marie isn’t good and shouldn’t be in the Finale, she should have been gone a while ago!!!!

Wow, talk about sour grapes. Sounds like Mr. Max is just making a stand for the reason WHY he won’t win. So the just in case statement it is UP TO US! We will vote for who we want to, and MAX oh baby, toooo badddd!!!!!!! SOUR GRAPES, grow up!!!!

…………Hello……I have already commented……however….I had to write…..My Mother just called me……..so I asked her “Mom are you going to watch dancing with the stars?”…..her answer was yes!….then I asked who do you think should win?……..her answer…….are you ready……..MARIE…….. I said but she’s not a good dancer…….and she said I know……….but I like her..I think the colored girl is the best dancer……..my mother is 76 years old!……OMG!!!!my own mother!!!
