Maks Attacks, Says Dancing's Final Three Is Wrong
ImgServlet

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Melanie Brown by Carol Kaelson/ABC

Maksim Chmerkovskiy isn't one to dance around the truth. When asked by TV's Extra if America got the final three right going into the last week of Dancing with the Stars, he says, "I think Jennie [Garth] was better than Marie [Osmond]," who is still in the competition. "Frankly, I think there are a lot of other people better than Marie.”

At the of the day (or Tuesday night, more accurately), who should be crowned champ? Maks believes his own partner, Melanie Brown, "should win," noting, "She’s hands down the best dancer left... [the] most capable, most natural." Alas, as often happens with reality contests, true talent can get trumped. "History shows [Dancing's celeb champ is] either a cute man or somebody with a huge fan base and I think Marie has both Helio and Mel's fan base combined times five."
 
:rolleyes: Can you say "shoot yourself in the foot"?
Both the celebs and pros need to learn to keep their mouths shut until AFTER the voting is over. Talented or not, sour grapes is a huge turn-off.
 
It's all about the drahmah ;-)

Sure, the Sox won in 4, but who's talking about that anymore? If it had taken 7 games and they'd lost, there would have been way more entertainment value. And people would still be talking about it!

Me, I'm glad the finished in 4; baseball's not my thing and I'm glad not to be hearing about it anymore...
 
Well, most people would support their own partner of course. But Maksim should be thinking positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts, because he should just be grateful to have lasted this long. And one thing that probably helped Marie is the amount of publicity that she is getting. My mom told me that she can't turn on the television without seeing Marie some place. I found that interesting. So, it's all about how you present yourself on and off the dance floor I think. Good for her.

And just like that, Mel B's chances to win the show disappear because her partner couldn't bite his tongue until till -after- the finale. :mad:

I really hope that this doesn't affect the outcome. Over on TVGuide they're running a poll on who you think should win this season and Mel B. has a significant lead over Helio and Marie.

Dear Maks,

You seem like a nice guy. So please. SHUT UP.

Love,
Me

Honestly though I think Mel and Helio are going to split the disaffected Jennie voters and probably benefit from backlash from people who think Marie shouldn't have made the final.
 
Don't get me wrong, I like Marie and I really have enjoyed her personality.... however, I am beginning to feel like she is milking this to re-ignite hers and her brothers career. It just seems a little weird for her to still be there and I'm beginning to feel Osmond overdosed.

Mawmaw
 
Is anyone on the show not milking it? I mean, really, how many times have they mentioned/shown the Spice Girls? Who just happen to be gearing up for a reunion tour? Everyone's on there to benefit their careers (or try to restart them, like Jennie--what was the last thign she did anyone remembers besides 90210?)

Yes I agree, it just seems like the Osmonds (as adorable as they all are) have been resurrected from the dead. Never watched 90210 so don't really know much about Jennie's career.
 
Wow, very classy. Especially coming from the guy who's partner only got in 2 hours of practice last week. So I got to say, I agree final 3 is wrong. But I disagree with who should have been kicked out instead of Jennie.

So what you're saying is DWTS isn't your thing and you want it to be over...

Well, when it first came on US TV, I mistakenly thought it was going to be about the dancing. I keep getting proved wrong each week.

Each new season it seems they have to add another inane filler during results night. Each season the music misses the mark. Each season I wonder more what the judges are watching. I do appreciate more and more the job that Tom Bergeron does though. That man sure do roll with the punches of live TV!

I do also appreciate that the show seems to be getting at least some people off their duffs to try dancing. This is a good thing. As for the show itself, I've pretty much been reduced to zipping through the results program to watch the pro showcases.
 
Come on, some of the fun is about how bad/cheesy it all is! ;)

Um, Helio? I'm not sure how DWTS benefits his career.
 
As for Maks, well he's just Maks, his statements are true to his character - and the TV drama. But I do love the show. No, it's not really a dance competition or the public wouldn't have a say in the results. It's reality TV and ballroom dance is just the plot. I look at it as entertainment. I also love to watch the celebrities change their opinion of ballroom dance. You can see so many of them begin to really love it and enjoy what they are doing. That is so cool. It does a lot for dancing in this country. I see so many families taking dancing as a family activity as a result of that show. What could be better than that?
