Val Chmerkovskiy And Janel Parrish talked to KTLA about dating (ok like whatever), their dances, and more….
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul" ~ Martha Graham. That's what DWTS makes me think of every Monday night. To read more about me and my other interests, see Lisa Kay Photography. You can also follow me at Voguerista Twitter & Voguerista Soundcloud.
I can’t take these two anymore. They are doing the same thing Maks and Meryl did. Uggh
I can’t even bear to watch the video, but it occurred to me that maybe his mother said, “See, Maks got a mirrorball. Do what he did and you’ll get a mirrorball too!” Maks did say that he would be giving the MBT to his mother. Maybe she wants bookends.
These two make my stomach churn! They act like teenagers back in HS Good grief! She says producers want them to do everything possible to make it look real Ahh dump your bf This is so a “c” bro thing People complain when Derek uses props but a showmance is the worst prop ever I would think VĂ l would see how people are turned off and forget it But then like Maks he loves the attention Sick!
He then has the nerve to post on his Twitter the question what is a showmance? And goes on about “shipping” and how all he’s focused on is the mirrorball. Sure Val you’re so focused on that trophy that you’ll stop at nothing to try and get it including trying to fake a romance. If he’s back tracking from the showmance atleast give your partner a heads up she’s tweeting about having the smell of your cologne on her. Really? I’ve been sick of them since day 1 they need to go.
Heh, Val uses props, other dancers AND a showmance. If his name was Derek he’d be getting 6’s from Len every week.
People got NO excuse to bitch about Derek.
He basically admitted on his twitter page that they are having this showmance to win the mirrorball. A real jerk.
And did you all see People’s interview with Maks where he says “Maryl and I are not dating and probably never will” – the shippers are losing
their s–t right now and are blaming everybody(mostly Lizzie Grubman)
LOL!
#6 Ria, for a moment my heart sank reading the People Mag title because I thought ABC was asking Maksyl to come back. Thank heavens, they are NOT going to be coming back on my TV screen to ruin this season. I think Vajanel is going to be short lived on this show and the Maksyl shippers are probably pissed. I’m surprised that he did actually come out and say it instead of waffling on the topic as usual.
I have to give Maks credit. I thought he’d rekindle the coy showmance crap, especially after this past weekend, to sell Sway tickets but he did the exact opposite. Good for him. I’m not hopeful this change will last but at least it’s a baby step.
I’m surprised too since he just announced that Meryl will be dancing
with him at SWAY on Dec, 17, 2014. I was thinking he would wait till after and also after SWDOI
but maybe he’s had enough since the shippers have begun harassing his friends on twitter and also, remember how they called Devin(the girl he took to Italy)all kinds of names just because she was with him.
His reward will come later in life when nothing is real in life and everything is done for fame. There’s a big difference in doing your best work and trying to be famous…. And it makes me sad because I expected more from him
#Ria, #Donna,
I agree! I really wasn’t expecting that. I am one of those who bought the Maksyl story and my eyes opened later.( In my defence they are the only showmance I EVER, like ever ever believed, on any tv show. )
I do wonder why he decided to put this out there, just now. It was a weird moment to choose to sink the ship. Basically the sinchronised with the annoucement that Meryl is on Sway too. The way he (and his friends-who are stalked and harrased, just as Meryl’s are, #truestory) handled intrusion these last 6 months, well, I think for the sake of their very expensive tickets they could have handled the situation for a bit more. This was the time where they really needed to sell their assets once again.
So I do find it weird. He even retweeted it, so he obviously wanted all shippers to read it. Woner what his motivation was to seemingly dash alll hope and give such a clear answer.
Meanwhile on the Janel Val ship. Yuck. I do like Val. He is a good coreoghrapher and I like that he’s not a sunshine boy but a darker, intense character, the shows needs people like him.
Janel seems nice too and dances well.
But this showmance is sooo transparently just that… (and I don’t think I see it that way only because waking up from the Maksyl cruise made me skeptical…) It simply is. At first it felt weird but now that they got into it full blaze, well it’s getting uncomfrotable to watch them.
I trult expect them to leave in a week or two, they will definitely be this seasons’ shoking early elimination.
They just use the showmance card when it works for them depending on the audience I guess. Certainly Val and Janel are working their “chemistry” as a reason to vote for them. It would be so much more watchable if they had just left it as bro/sis and then it would be fun, or at least normal. However, Val is not acting like a partner to Janel imo he is acting like he has the hots for her. I think they have lost voters as a result of their “strategy” and it is too late to back track now. I don’t know if they will be a surprise elimination but I would like this partnership to be finished. Never had a couple that I have to mute or change the channel when they are on. That is a first for me.
Maks actually finally did the right thing. Can you imagine using his showmance with Meryl to sell expensive tickets to Sway and THEN coming out with the truth (that many of us have known since day one??)?
Also, Meryl said immediately after the show that they were NOT dating – many shippers just refused to believe her and that is partly because Maks routinely refused to just answer the fucking question.
Let’s be fair… Yes Meryl said it once right after their win… But then went on and one dancing around a direct answer. The same with Maks. He also teased on more occasions than he said ‘no’. But Meryl’s fault is not less.
My theory is that Maks initiated the whole showmance thing (to finally win the mbt) Meryl went along, she knew they were playing, but she probably did have a crush on him, so it wasn’t hard to go along. I do think he loves her and all, but was never atracted to her as a woman. They did play a showmance, they knew that they are playing the audience…
But they played with fire and they got burned, as you do in such cases. The whole act got out of hand, they were so convincing and they actually had(have) affection for one another so almost everyone believed them.
And now, 7 months after starting this game they still can’t stop it. People still sort of stalk them and demand things from them. Things it seems they can’t give the way people want them too. That’s why Maks tried to spell it out today.
That’s what they get for playing with fire đ
#11 annie, I could see that as a strategy to avoid a huge backlash further down the road. He has been getting very nasty comments every time he gets seen with a woman who is not Meryl. This way he got the shippers to love the fact that Meryl was going to be on his show but at the same time close the door on the showmance once and for all. The shippers are probably in a tizzy with what just hit them LOL.
PH, yeah that would not be pretty. I can just imagine an angry shipper army at his dance studios asking for refunds LOL.
So knowing all this, why did Val go down the same road? Did he really think another showmance,or blurred lines, would work again?
#Judy — Because Mom wants bookends. See comment #2. lol
I feel like this showmance is just really sloppy. The first few weeks I didn’t see any – just that they were flirty, touchy-feely, whatever. But then with this week’s package and Pitbull’s calling them out on lack of passion, and they’re always dancing around the ‘are you dating or is it just good chemistry’ crap. They’re doing something wrong with their showmance, and it’s not just about them ‘throwing it down our throats’ or ‘tptb pimping it’ or even that they’re doing it. I think it’s that they’re doing it and sucking at it? Not that I’m into showmances, but there have been some more smoothly done showmances. There’s just something plain weird about how Janl/Val are going about it and they’re sadly starting to alienate their own fanbase.
Speaking of Sway, because Sharna is already going to be there, it would be have been a good opportunity to see Charlie and her dance again. I hope they had the courtesy to at least invite him.
Oh man, as soon as try to like Val even just a little bit he says the dumbest thing. Troupe=prop especially when you use it excessively. I guess Val is jealous because a lot of the Motavators are shipping Derek and Bethany. Maybe his fake romance is not believeable to his “PLL army” to make them ship Vajanel. Try harder Val. Of course Sway have to bring Meryl and Zendaya even after they included Peta, Henry, Jenna, etc because I don’t think there’ll be any tickets selling if it’s just Maks, Val and Tony. Now I’m done venting đ
#Ammie — I was thinking about Maksyl vs. Vajanel and the biggest difference is the personality of Meryl vs. Janel. Meryl was very quiet and showed her passion on the dance floor. Janel is “on” all the time. The difference in the guys feeds this, as Maks was (relatively) more aggressive and Val is (relatively) less aggressive, which just serves to further highlight the difference in the girls. My feeling is that what we’re seeing of Janel is her “go-to,” and Val has behaved as if he wouldn’t have it any other way.
#19 The possibility is about as remote as Charlie inviting Maks to his wedding LOL đ
Vajanel seems like a showmance conundrum because it seems like even they are confused with what’s happening?? Vajanel thought he could easily piggyback on the Maksyl showmance and continue the saga.
#11 Annie I think Maks did it now because he had her appearing in Sway to soften the blow. We all know when this thing blows up he’s the one who’s going to be covered in doo doo, so at least this way there’s a cushion.
#13 Heidi I did see Maks say in two separate interviews that they weren’t dating and one where he called it a showmance but they both continued to play games even after they said it. They have no one to blame but themselves.
#15 Kate forget tizzy. Try denial.
#19 Al that was my first thought. They’re all appearing in SWDOI the day before and Sharna’s part of the Sway cast. Why isn’t Charlie doing it too? Was he even asked? I think Charlie is just over the whole thing and wants as little to do with the Chmerkovskiy crew as possible.
Also, re the showmance, there has been fall out for Janel’s personal life. It sounds like her ex was a bit jealous, or unwilling to deal with the whole business. I assume he has his pride and those ig photos were pretty steamy even if they were a set up. My point being that this show has cost her personally. What koolaide was she drinking to think it was worth it? Winning the mb does not propel one to superstardom.
#23 Donna I just think it’s a shame. Charlie and Sharna deserve all the media attention MnM is getting, and then some. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t begged to do it, because I don’t think the C-bros would diss their friend Sharna like that. The optimist in me would like to think that maybe he had plans that day he couldn’t get out of.
#25 Al unfortunately I don’t think Sharna is a consideration for them. This is about Maks and Val. Notice none of Tony’s partners are being given special shows and I think Leah and Melissa both would do it in a heartbeat. And Tony is a partner in the business. Sharna’s just another dancer they’re using for their own profit along with Peta, Artem and the rest. Also notice none of these supposedly big long time Meryl fans are questioning why Charlie’s not included.
Al(25)Charlie is very busy these days.He is helping Marina Z(their coach)coach the Shibutanis,an icedancing pair this year. He just got his coaching license and he and Tanith has had some new skaters for coaching and choreographing aside from the students that Tanith already has. Aside from rehearsing for the upcoming Disson shows, he is also choreographing the dances that Tanith and Ben are doing for the Disson shows and the upcoming 2015 Stars on Ice.
It’s so obvious C-Bros can’t sell tickets with their names alone so they bring in Meryl & Zendaya. Those two ladies don’t come cheap, definitely cutting into their profit. So if only the Chmerkovskiy name sold well, they would’ve gone with it to maximize profits
#25 & 27 I agree that Charlie is busy these days. But at the same time, his schedule would have been the same as Meryl’s for this show since their skating shows are all back to back. There is no indication that Charlie is close to the C-bros, for them to invite him and make a big deal about it, like they did with Meryl. Sharna is a pro who has been on BWAT with them and the same goes for Peta. Most of the shippers buying these tickets have no interest in anyone besides Meryl and Zendaya. Truly speaking this isn’t even about dancing, it is more about reliving the showmance LOL đ
Kate(1)You should see the Maksyl blogs after Mak’s article. They were all expecting an engagement announcement this morning(I can’t even)and then they got hit with the news but a few are still in denial. LOL!
Charlie has never been close to Maks so I don’t think they even asked him. It’s all about them – they are using Meryl and Zendaya(who are have aligned themselves with the fam anyway)for the SWAY. I really think Meryl is officially now a fame—–.I amactually glad Charlie has nothing t6o do with them
Ria, HAHAHA I bet their hopes were dashed LOL. But then many of them would probably say Maksyl is an old married couple LOL.
I am glad too that Charlie stays away from it. This show changes people, but he is still the same. He is not out to chase fame and fortune like Meryl is these days.
Someone mentioned that Len would give Derek 6’s for all this crap. Wouldn’t it be WONDERFUL if Grumpy Len made an appearance this week and just laid it out against Janel and Val. Come on Len, do it!!!!
But the reality is, Val pushing the showmance or the show doing it, they are getting what they want – people TALKING about it. On social media, on regular media, all driving to ratings. It’s a TV show, that’s all that matters. No one except us fans cares who wins the mirror ball, TPTB want good TV.
#31 Kate don’t laugh. I really did see posts saying that today. They’re not dating and won’t date in the future because they’re already married!
Val and Janel’s partnership reminds me of when Val was partnered with Kelly (all star season). Kelly and Val was just pure showmance all over that season. DWTS producers were feeding the fuel and the fans were eating it up. For those not on Team Vally, it became overbearing to watch.
Now if Janel and Val want to “stop” all the romance rumors then they should stop posting all those PDA pics from rehearsal….I mean really…kinda adding more gas to the fire. Plus that whole thing where Janel’s ex bf broke up with her recently. Janel deserves to win the right way..hardwork and practice…
Talking doesn’t equal VOTING. Not so sure that’s happening.
Ria thanks for the update on Charlie.. I can definitely see him as a great ice dancing coach.
I’m so bloody sick of M&M that I almost black out when their’s any mention of them. Like a little kid that puts their hands over their ears and screams “la, la, la I can’t hear you!”.
I’m not there yet with Vajanel but I’m pretty darn close. Just shut up, show up, and dance.
The thing with Val and kelly was they didn’t declare their love to each other….. They were pretty much “were doing it off camera” kind of a relationship and it was believable to a certain extent. I still think they probably did something at least once. This is cheesy, stupid Showmance nonsense.
Even though I wasn’t a fan of Kelly and Val at all I do think they were semi-legit and believed they had something going on, it just didn’t appeal to me and I found them annoying to watch each week. Janel and Val are completely all for show and for votes. Even without the showmance Janel isn’t my favorite celeb (her “look at me look at me” attitude isn’t my cup of tea) but I do like Val and she’s a decent enough dancer so if they cool it on the showmance they would be bearable to watch.
I’m still hoping they don’t make the finals and are a shocking elimination in the next two weeks or so. Unfortunately I have a feeling they’ll do well Monday though as Val can pretty much drag her through the waltz and the PLL theme will get the “PLLArmy” excited and voting. I like to think they’ll tone down the showmance crap also. If they have a good week and Lea has a bad week it might just work out in their favor moving forward. Much to my chagrin.
I say keep up the showmance though, gives me something to bitch about and will get them eliminated faster!
I’m trying to remember back- has Val had a partner he HASN’T had a showmance with?
@Candace – He’s really only gone the full showmance route with Kelly and Janel but they’ve both been so over the top that it makes it FEEL like there have been more. A lot of it has been because of the types of partners he’s gotten though. No one would have bought a showmance with Sherri, Elizabeth was married with a new born and Danica had a serious boyfriend and she doesn’t come across as the type who would be willing to participate in a showmance. Obviously he couldn’t really do it with Zendaya either as she was 16 at the time but ironically I thought he had the most chemistry with her because he didn’t force anything and it came off as very natural.
@Candace & DLT – Plus his brother showmanced with about 90% of his own partners so it’s beyond deja vu at this point.
If you don’t like what you see, then go away, Lewis!!
#27…. Charlie did not get his coaching “license,” since there is no such thing (I know, I am a coach). https://ssip.ex3host.com/psa/public/prog_comp_list.aspx Those are all the “Whites” in the US that have their coaches compliance. There is no such thing as a license to coach. Just putting that out there.
I don’t like the V/J showmance, but I do like Val and Janel dancing. I don’t think they are the best, but I think they are top 4/5.
