Pure DWTS 12, Week 7 – Interviews After Dance Night (Videos)
George Pennacchio of ABC LA/On The Red Carpet reviews and interviewers our 6 dancing couples from last night after the show. Once again, he does such a good job and gets down to the nitty gritty of it all.
First Up, here is Kirstie and Maks on the most controversial scores of the Season and their characters for their dance. Maks explained what happened in rehearsal this past week. He doesn’t want to back off of Kirstie because he knows how well she can dance;
Romeo is defensive about his dance last night. He wants to come back next week to “show those judges”;
Hines and Kym talk on the pressure of a 4th judge added and a legend. But, Hines is having a blast and wants to continue to give it his all.
Karina and Ralph are much happier with their dance last night versus their dance last week. They loved the “10″ they received, but, Karina questions the “8″ Len gave them.
Kendra and Louis are in the middle and happy with this position. Kendra says they are slowly climbing their way to the top. (I’m starting to soften on her a little. Her attitude is a little better and she’s settling in more.)
Mark and Chelsea talk about the talent of his Mom and how she helped them this week with her honesty. Mark wasn’t happy with the scores the week (like always). He says “whatever”. (now these two I am not softening on in the least. I’m only more annoyed. Mark seems bitter and spoiled.)
Here is ET Online interviewing all of our couples. Kirstie talks about the planned kiss. Ralph and Hines talk on their 10′s. Kendra tells us that Louis designed her dress after Barbie(I liked it, did you?). Chelsea now knows where Mark gets his drive>>> from his MOM!
Access Hollywood interviewed our couples as well last night. Here is one I thought was particularly interesting. Maks talks about his experience during 9-11. More videos at the link.
Stay tuned to this spot. I may add more videos later. 
Eeeek. I feel so bad for Chelsea – even Mark’s body language in this interview just screams “Screw you” to me. I feel like she’s trying to be optimistic and good-natured about the whole thing, but the minute Mark starts in with another complaint, she just looks…crestfallen.
Eew! Just listened to Mark and Chelsea’s interview with George. He comes off like a spoiled brat! Hate it when he keeps interrupting Chelsea. What happened to that sweet polite young man of a few seasons ago?? I did think it was interesting how Chelsea described Mark’s mom, Shirley. Highly intimidating, etc. Do you think Mom is putting the pressure on Mark to win? ( more of that only child syndrome kicking in?)
Remember at the beginning how excited Chelsea was that Mark was her partner. I wonder how she feels now.
Awesome interviews. I agree with everyone about Mark’s bad attitude.
I also have to comment on the last video where Maks describes his 9/11 experience. WOW!
Getting all this background stuff makes the show even more enjoyable. Thanks so much for all y’all do to put this great info together!
Great post, Vogue!!
Im thinking three main things after watching these interviews. 1: Poor Chelsea, I think she could of done so much better with Derek and is Mark going like Goth? 2: There is alot of truth to what Karina is saying about Len and the 8 paddle… 3: Kendra and Louis aren’t bugging me near as much as they were. Is it me or does George sound like he thinks Chelsea and Mark are in some big trouble tonight?
Zach: “Is it me or does George sound like he thinks Chelsea and Mark are in some big trouble tonight?”
I got a negative vibe on that too…as well as Romeo and Chelsie.
And Guys, you are so welcome. Thank you for reading and participating always!! <3
I’m softening up to Kendra too. I still think she’s the weakest dancer and should probably go tonight, but at least she isn’t annoying me anymore.
“Bitter” is the exact word that came to mind after watching Mark last night. He needs to take a break from the spotlight or something, because I don’t see his attitude improving during the season, and that’s really too bad for Chelsea.
Brooke tweeted something a bit odd about an hour or so ago about possibly “losing one of her boys” tonight, and included a link to pix of her and some of the male pros. Now I’m not reading too far into it, but Brooke doesn’t normally tweet anything speculative about who’s going home…just struck me as a little weird, and possibly an indadvertant clue from a hapless Brooke.
Interesting that neither Hines nor Romeo crops up in those pix. But Ralph, Maks, & Mark do. George may not be too far off, thinking that Chelsea & Mark could be in trouble.
Well, Brooke says she “Never” finds out who’s going home before the show airs because she doesn’t want to act differently to them. But maybe she’s had a change of heart on that.
Brooke probably got tired of darn near peeing herself before everyshow with anticipation of whose going so she gave Tom what for and now Brooke knows all.
On a serious note the minute you press the link on the Brooke tweet the first picture you see is Mark and I qeustion if Brooke is smart enough to put the photo of the ” boy ” thats leaving in a in the middle or find a photo with more than one guy to where it’s not so friggin obvious.
I mean for real it’s like BAM! The minute the page pops up there’s Mark Ballas at his prime and Brooke with one of her infamous ” Where am I? Who are you? Whose this freak with his arm around me? And do I look pretty?!?!? ” expressions on her face…We’ll have to wait and see. Im interested to see what you guys think? Does this hint that Romeo will be ok? And Hines as if we didnt already know that.
