DWTS Season 13, Week 6 Interviews After The Dance Part 1 (Videos)
If you are anxious like I am, let’s get right to the new interviews with George Pennacchio of On The Red Carpet. He asks the couples on their dances, their progress since week one, and how they each feel on Maks’ rant to the judges!!
First, below is Ricki and Derek with their reactions to their dance and the judges criticisms. Derek says they appreciate and are glad the judges liked their dance last night. Derek explains how much Ricki has improved since the first week and she’s “right on track” for where he wants them to be. Ricki said last night’s dance was her favorite thus far. On Maks, Derek didn’t agree with what he did. They are seasoned professionals and know the show. “Disrespecting the judges is crossing the line.”
Chaz is upset and is as sad as his face looks because of the judges low scores of his dance which he thought were unfair. Last night’s critiques, were “the icing on the cake”. Lacey supports Maks for what he had to say to the judges since he said what a lot of them couldn’t. She also mentions how unfair it is that some people received a “9” who didn’t deserve it while they pick on Chaz.
George asks Maks and Hope on her progress. She thought last night was a “break through” even though no one else thought so. Maks was happy with their dance. Maks talks about his rant. He just wishes the judges were “on the same page with everyone” when they judged. When he was taught to judge in ballroom, he was taught to be fair and judge the people and not their personalities. Hope ends the interview saying she had fun this past week and hope it continues.
Nancy is doing the happy dance after she and Tristan received a “9” and after learning they are in 3rd place. She and Tristan address Maks’comments to the judges. Nancy says when working in the courtroom you had to learn to keep tight lipped when the judges made a decision. Tristan says he understands both staying quiet on it and wanting to defend yourself. “There is no right or wrong on it”. They talk of their progress from week one. They are pleased with her handstand.
J.R. and karina are beyond excited and happy over their two “10’s” last night. They go through their progress since week one and how much J.R. is learning on his journey. If they could redo a dance, Karina would choose the Jive which she thought the judges were too harsh about when they only got “7’s”. J.R. thinks the judges have been fair to him for the most part. What they’ve said, he’s tried to work on.
Rob was as comfortable as he could be “shaking it”. Derek pops in to say and joke that “Rob was robbed” last night. George puts Cheryl on the spot asking her about Maks comments. She says Maks has his opinion and she agrees that it would be nice if they didn’t get criticized for trying to make their partners look good after they’ve worked so hard.
David starts the interview saying he was disappointed on his dance last night. He’s hard on himself, but, Kym and George commend him and his high energy. On Maks, David understands the pressure of the show and how it can make people passionate. He also says a little drama doesn’t hurt a reality show.
More interviews coming up. Stay tuned. 😉
Lacey is a total brat. Chaz is, and has been since week 1, the worst dancer. I can see where they might be upset and reacting to Bruno’s cruel and stupid comparisons, but come on. Really? If anything Chaz has been overscored the majority of the time.
Both Lacey and Maks need a time out. Chaz should go home tonight based on skill alone, but after last night I’ll be cheering if it’s Hope and Maks. Maks really needs to knock off that big chip on his shoulder. There’s still a lot of good dancing to be had and those two are putting a damper on it.
katarina:
Don’t be surprised (just a guess) if Chaz is still on board for another week just on fan base alone! Hope just may be going instead, I think.
It’s possible David will go home. He’s already been in bottom two, and he’s in the dreaded “middle” of the pack lol. Maybe they’ll keep Hope & Chaz on for ratings controversy. Lacey seems to forget that most of the time Kyle had no technique, so for her to call out nancy is petty and immature. Wonder why she didn’t speak out about Bristol getting the scores she did at the time (esp since she & Kyle were sort of battling it out to the finals.)
Love that Derek said “Maks crossed a line”, because he did. I like Maks as a dancer, but as a person, I haven’t really liked what I see. Just when we get rid of Mark and his comments to the judges, we get Maks lol
I know that the pros are extremely protective of their partners, but Maks is just so full of himself. The show freaking GAVE him the partner that he asked for during the summer, the judges HAVE been generous with their scores for Hope overscoring her the past few weeks and have given her many chances to take their advice and improve. I’m sorry, I just don’t like when a young person disrespects their elders… it’s just they way that I was raised. And Lacey doesn’t have the balls to do it, but I know she talks shit behind people’s backs.
I feel sorry for Hope because she has said that Maks’ teaching style is not the best for her. She might have really excelled with a different partner.
And before people started getting on Derek’s back for disagreeing with what Maks did… Don’t forget he made the same mistake with Shannon and he got a shitload of problems from that. He made that mistake once and LEARNED from it. Maks has done this many times, but last night was the worst.
Elmari, you nailed it for me. Even before his outburst last night, I was disappointed in Maks. To tell his partner that he’s nearly given up on her? No, I’m sorry. As bad of a dancer as she is to some people, that’s YOUR PARTNER! Your job is to teach and encourage. Not make your partner feel ever worse about herself.
As for Lacey, she is one to talk about someone else being overscored. The judges have been WAY too nice in the way of scores for Chaz all season. At some point in the competition so far, EVERYONE has been overscored. I have no respect for someone who throws others under the bus behind their backs.
Derek was right in everything that he said. They are professionals, and they’ve done the show long enough to know that the judges are going to complain about things. But I highly doubt that any contestant in a ballroom dance comp would argue with a judge like that. I know “Maks is Maks” (blah, blah, blah), but what he did last night (the arrogance of the “This is MY show”) remark) was out of line and unprofessional. He’s got every right to be upset at the comments, but when he argues like that, it drags his partner down with him. And Hope doesn’t deserve that.
Derek just grew a few notches in my eyes with that comment.
How dare Lacey insinuate that Nancy did not deserve her 9, regardless Nancy has been putting in the hours and really shined last night. Chaz and Lacey’s piece was very boo hoo cry me a river…fact is your dancing is just not up to par. I would hate to see David or Nancy or Rob, people who seem to really be enjoying this time and growing leave before the sour grapes Chaz and Lacey and Maks. And yeah, I would have loved to see Hope with another partner
Just listened to Lacey’s comment about the 9. Someone already said it, but…”What a brat!” So immature in her comments, especially by pointing the finger at someone else (Nancy’s 9). Please Lacey, take your immaturity and snideness and work on your music career! Some of us won’t miss you on DWTS!
Re: Maks – a poor sport with an ego problem. I need a break from him next season.
Would love Maks to be replaced by Dmitry
Why isn’t anyone commenting on Linn’s and Bruno’s terribly rude, comments? How does being a judge include derrogatory comments, aimed at a contestants size, shape, or height? Linn and Bruno were way out of line and I for one applaud Maks for speaking up. Maks spoke the truth. Yes, I am an avid fan of the show, but have been very disappointed with Linn & Bruno this season. Stars sign on prepared to have their dancing criticized ONLY. Cari Ann is the only one with manners. Her parents obviously raised their daughter right.
Well, Vearl, first off, as an avid fan of the show I would think you’d know his name was Len and not Linn, and we aren’t commenting on it because we’ve all already talked about it ad infinitum on other posts, and we’re just kinda tired of it. It’s all been said. And while you may think Carrie Ann is polite, most of the time I find her to be a judgmental twit who scores with her vagina rather than her brain. Gee, I wonder if her parents taught her that, too…
