Americans!!! Marie was chosen by votes to be in the finals (SHE PlAYED BY THE RULES) and has a strong support system. And if she wins the ballroom trophy by fans votes, SHE DESERVES IT!!! :) Dancing With The Stars is a show for entertaining the public. Dont’ MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL!!!

Oh people … get over it. The show is ENTERTAINMENT. Maks takes himself too seriously obviously and thinks LOADS of himself. Beyond that, every person has used the media to their advantage. Marie just happens to have more pull. She HAS been on ET and Access, etc. every single night, but you’d have to be an idiot to think she has control over their programming. They program to their audience and what they want to see. Whether you like her or not, Marie appeals to the masses … her humor, her goofiness, her willingness to laugh at herself, her charm, etc. The other contestants have great qualities as well … this has been a fun season! I felt awful for Marie after last night’s performance, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t progressed over the weeks. If she wins, it’s because people are in her corner … it doesn’t devalue the show. Contests are rarely ever fair … look at the Presidential elections!!

If this is just about having fun, as Ms. Osmond says, then why is she using all of the talk shows and her charity, to promote herself and tell people to vote for her? You might be able to fool some people but you will never be able to fool us all. She’s more cutthroat then anyone I have ever seen on that show and I hope she loses.

That is the problem with America - Political Correctness. PC is killing this country. As a disabled military veteran, I wish for once, people could be more honest and open. Mr Chmerkovskiy should tell it like it is even if it is unpopular. Perhaps we could learn a thing or two about standing up for honesty. Most people want to hear “friendly” feel good remarks — sometimes you just need to hear the TRUTH. Give me the TRUTH. It is not Maks fault because we cannot no longer handle the TRUTH. Don’t ask a question if you are afraid of a honest answer.

I totally agree with Maks and I can see where he is coming from. As professional dancer, he feels that “DANCING with The Stars” should have something to do with DANCING. If Marie & Jonathan think that she has made progress, they are only fooling themselves. If anything she REGRESSED. Those “performances” last night, which could never be called dancing, proved Maks’ point. The judges even said it, in a round about way. Even her family, who usually make fools of themselves by running out on the dance floor, didn’t even give her an ovation after that embarassing “rag doll” routine.

On an entertainment show, last night, they showed why Marie has gotten so far. It’s because the Children’s Miracle Network sends out over 2 million emails to people telling them to vote for her and they in turn send out millions more. Knowing this, Maks likely figured, “what the hell. Just tell it like it is.” I don’t like the fact that “Extra” took advantage, saw an opportunity to once again make Maks look bad. Maks is very new to this whole media thing. He doesn’t have “the people” to go over the interview questions and he is known for telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. One of the many reasons why I love the guy.

If Marie Osmond wins, it is NOT because she deserves to. She may be(I don’t know because I don’t know her) a nice person but as a dancer…NO!! If she wins, it will make DWTS into a total FARCE. And if she wins, it’s only because of this literal “network” working for her. If she was as a decent a person as people would like to believe she is, she would have told “the network” of which she is co-founder, not to do that because she wanted to be there on her own merit, of which, as a dancer, she does not have.

What did Maks say that was so bad? He told the truth, plain and simple. None of you seem to find offense in the comments Donny Osmond has made about the competitors on ET, Larry King, and the Today Show to name a few. Marie is using Donny to slam the other dancers to gain sympathy. She is milking the show for all its worth and no one seems to have a problem with that. Last night’s dreadful doll dance was only to promote her latest DTWS doll on QVC. BTW..you can get one for $ 89 a pop. You should find offense in that not Maks.

Max told it straight. She can’t dance and is using every venue - Oprah, QVC, ET, The Insider to get sympathy and attention. She is even using her charity to get people to vote for her! Unbelievable. Oh, yeah, money….she is selling DWTS dolls on QVC at $ 89 a pop! Her little freak doll performance was a commercial to sell her latest doll “doll.” She has now become a victim of her own p.r. Last night’s tantrum was so unprofessional and inexcusable! She actually believed her samba and freestyle was worthy of a 10! Thank God Tom Bergeron put her in her place a couple of times. What she said and did pales in comparison to Maks honest opinion.

In my opinion, Carrieanne Inaba, Len Goodman and Tony should be the JUDGES who determines “THE WINNER” because they are “THE PROFESSIONALS” with over 60 years of dance experience under their belt combined. Americans who don’t dance for a living don’t see dancing in the same eyes as dance professionals. So, ABC should consider making changes for next season in determining who stays and leaves the competition.

I agree with Marie and Johnathan regarding the purpose of this show, is for AMATEURS to learn ballroom dancing. I feel vehemently Marie’s position in the FINALS is well-deserved because she has made some improvements in her technical skills in each of her dance performances. Good Job Marie!!

Sabrina should not have been invited to compete on DANCING WITH THE STARS POINT BLANK!! BECAUSE SHE IS OVERLY QUALIFIED!!! And inviting overly qualified celebrity to compete on this show DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF IT!!!!!

Maks is being childish and so jealous of Marie. She is just doing her best and having fun while doing it. All of her fans love her and with her smile she sure entertains us. She deserves to win. or at least come in second. Maks needs to go home. Marie we love you and your awesome family.

It seems that Marie is only there based on sympathy votes. Everyone must be blind because frankly she cannot move. Last night’s doll dance was a huge disappointment. She clearly cannot dance. Her final comment on at her age, she can still do…(enough to get the eyes roll..good grief) If she wins, “Dancing with the Stars” will probably be a huge disappointment as well.

Come on people. Mak is entitled to his opinion and he is just brave enought o say what a lot of people are thinking. Marie is an entertainer but if Sabrina wasn’t good enough to make it to the finals, then I am sorry, as much as I love Marie, she doesnt deserve to be there.

EVERY single celebrity and dance pro has used the media to their advantage. It’s not just MEL B or Marie but Marie has gone overboard. She has been on ET and Extra almost every single night. And her brother Donny sists there and bad mouths (with a smile on his face and in a nice tone) her competition and says Marie deserves to win.

So why can’t Mak say Marie doesnt deserve to be there??? Why put him down just because he isnt afraid to offend anyone. C’mon….even the judges were shocked at her behavior.

I must say she seems to have more rhythm in the clips of rehearsals they show then when she actually performs.

I love Donny and Marie. Marie has had a good run but after last night, with the doll bit, she needs to go. I mean c’mon folks, she didnt even dance/……she was carried around, dragged, lifted, and stood limp……its a dance competition…..IT IS ABOUT BALL ROOM DANCE…..its not a joke and if the celebs cant take criticism then they shouldnt be on the show.

Sabrina should have been in the finals but instead we have Marie and fans whining because Maks said she doesnt deserve to be there.

MAKS KEEP VOIVING YOUR CRITICISM AND PISSING EVERYONE OFF. ALL WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU ARE NOBODYS…YOU ARE THE PROFESSIONAL SO YOU KNOW SHE CAN’T DANCE!!!!!!

GO MEL AND MAK!!!!
GO JULIANNE AND HELIO!!!
GOODBYE MARIE AND JONATHAN!!!!!!

First of all, Maksim was asked a question and he answered. His answer wasn’t childish or pathetic. It was honest. Why are people jumping all over him for expressing his opinion? The judges, media and critics have said the exact same thing.

Marie says this show is about non-dancers improving. What about non-dancer Jennie and non-dancer Cameron? They were both much better than Marie and had improved immensely. How does she justify being in the finals instead of them.

I also love how she keeps throwing the word “semi-pro” out there. If that’s supposed to be a jab at Melanie, Marie should take a look in the mirror. Melanie is a singer, who has dancing incorporated into her shows—just like Marie does. Last time I checked, the Spice Girls didn’t have Foxtrots or Paso Dobles in their sets.

Marie was outdanced by both Melanie and Helio last night. I think that proved Maks’ point better than anything.

I agree Max is childish & his actions & ego say it all about him as a person. And his lack of professionalism it’s no wonder he has never had a partner that has won. And that is a shame for his past & future partners. If he was dancing with Marie you can bet he wouldn’t be squacking like the childish brat he has shown himself to be this season. It’s a shame people like that try to take what little good clean fun,and family entertainment is left now a days. And try to ruin it for there own ego’s.

He says that just 2 wks ago Mel B didn’t go public w/ the fact that her child had chicken pox, of my alert the news media. Comparing chicken pox to a son in rehab and a father dying is so stupid and heartless, did Mel B’s nanny tell her that her child had chickin pox while she is rehershing 14 hours a day, I’m sorry but she should be with her baby, not on a dancing show and then a world tour. Scary doesn’t want this to come out because it just shows what kind of mom she is she went on a honeymoon w/o her “new” born. Marie raised 8 kids, Cut her some slack, I think the show is getting to serious and Carrie Ann and the rest need to go, they are too much big heads and what was up w. the boos from the “spice girls” Posh looked like she was going to drop at any moment, she needs to eat

Maks is very outspoken, which is one of the things that I love about him. While his and Mel’s freestyle was far from the extravaganza that I expected from those two, I do have to agree with him that as of last night, Marie just stopped taking the competition seriously. The doll dance completely shattered her credibility as a dancer, and while I was for Marie all the way over the past few weeks, she completely lost me and my vote after that debacle. The judges just didn’t know what to say at first, and Marie is lucky they gave her the scores they did, because she deserved much less. I am surprised at Jonathan for going along with that. Marie may not be as strong a dancer as Mel and Helio, but she had the chance to prove that she CAN dance, and she threw it away. The doll thing was also trite and unoriginal, so she didn’t even have the entertainment factor. She seems to be so sure that she will win on fan votes only that she just didn’t care what she did.

Marie is an entertainer that is what the show is suppose to be an entertainment show not a ballroom dancing competition, A&E had a show like that I watched it and they were dancers, This is just a stupid comment by a desperate man w/ no sense of decency and for him to say she using her kids and her life for votes is just sick. Get help dude you need it and scary I see where you got the name from, having the “Spice girls” in the audience was ok but Marie wasn’t allowed to have her family, just because there are so many, Shame on YOU, this show is getting to petty for my taste, Last season for me.

First let me say the comment was not called for, he made himself sound pathtic and childish. Second, Mel B is scary, I see now why she is called that. Marie did not use the media for her advantage, Yeah I am sure she planned on her father dying and loves the fact that her son’s rehab was made public ( she looked totally shocked), Mel B used her baby’s daddy to get noticed in this country and what is she promoting, her concert tour, right. So it’s not like your winning the nobel prize its’ a “celebrity” dance contest that is it. Mel B has dancing knowledge so if there is going to be some back stabbing this should be the issue not Marie, she can’t help it if she is a “real” person who happens to be a celebrity and has all her life. Mel B go back home and take your cheesy partner with you.

Maks is right. I respect Marie, however she should have been long gone, because she can’t dance and Monday nights rag doll dance proved it.

I love marie and I have been rooting for her all the way but I know she problally wont win and that’s fine as long as mac and his spice partner dont win I’ll be happy there attitude sucks! and you can feel their bad attitude against marie. Marie is all about fun, happy, grace, and clean and scarry is tramp looking stupid and cheap! Marie has a very positve attitude and is happy for who ever and scarry and mac has just a bad attitude and they are very selfish people I hope and pray that “macaroni and spice” lose!!!
