DWTS Season 13, Week 6 Interviews After The Dance Part 2 (Videos)
In Part 2 of our interview posts after last night’s dances, we have Carson Kressley on Good Morning America. Carson is calling last night’s show “Max Gate”. LOL!! Carson gets serious and says Maks probably over reacted, but, “he’s Maks” and it’s understandable when you feel the need to voice your opinion in “heat of the moment”. Carson also thinks it’s all “subjective”. He also discusses who he thought danced the best. He’s a hoot as always. More below….
Louis Van Amstel also reviewed the night in his new blog at ABC. He thinks Ricki, J.R., and Rob are “absolutely safe”. Below are his thoughts on Hope, Maks, and the rant Maks gave to the judges. More at the link for his thoughts on all the other couples more in-depth.
Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s Rumba. I love Hope and I think she’s in a difficult position. Somehow, I believe Hope is totally being confused by too many cooks in the kitchen. Hope is trying her absolute hardest, and she did a good job with her legs. I saw a great attempt at personal intimacy. There’s no chemistry between them as a couple, but I believe that comes from the atmosphere during rehearsal. I can so understand why Hope is totally confused. It doesn’t matter how long a celebrity takes, with patience you can achieve so much more. I agree with Carrie Ann. I agree with Len’s comments but, even if I do agree with Len’s comments, it’s a rule the judges can only criticize the pro’s. Boots don’t help a smooth leg action. Bruno, you’re going to tell Maks how to do the Rumba??? Hope, I love your answer to Brooke. Please be yourself and don’t let anyone change who you are. Wow, Maks, I know what you meant to say when you said “it’s my show,” it just came out the wrong way. The scores are a little low. I would have given a 7 and 8.
As a pro, if you talk back to the judges it always makes you look like the bad guy, even if you’re right. I’m not saying I agree with Maks tonight, because I actually don’t. Len never really explained why he said Maks was part of the problem, because he cut Len off. These discussions, in my opinion, are good because this was real. But, often times, Len blurts out statements that are so fabricated. I wish it was always real.
Overall: Ricki, J.R. and Rob are absolutely safe. David is pretty safe. I don’t know how much viewers will let the episode between Maks and the judges influence their votes. Otherwise, I still think Hope is pretty safe. I’m worried for Chaz the most and, if it’s on pure dancing, I’m worried for Nancy. If the audience votes on performance and growth, Nancy will be safe. Tomorrow night is going to be interesting.
And here are the Access Hollywood interviews….
Derek and Ricki chat about their performance and the process they went through to pull it off. Derek gives his thoughts on Maks’ heated words to the judges. He has “two minds” on it being there is a lot of pressure. He said he snapped at the judges once and learned not to do it. He basically thinks it’s best to hold back and roll with the punches since everyone has to take them.
Lacey and Chaz are clearly upset with the judges. Lacey is supporting Maks 100%! (I’m still fuming over Bruno calling Chaz a “penguin”. I agree how it’s not right to criticize what they look like.)
Maks doesn’t regret anything he said last night. Even if he’s wrong in some people’s eyes, he has a right to his opinion for what this Country is about. He thought the judges have been unfair and he said so. Love or hate him, he’s not going to change.
Be sure to watch this video by PopTVDotCom as well. There is a great interview with Tristan in it. Tom and Tony also address the “controversy” of last night. Maks pretty much avoids Henry’s questions when asked on the fight with the judges. I believe Maks is with Daria? She is so beautiful!
Shew, what a night! Here’s to tonight’s results! 😉
For a more impartial take on the dances I recommend this article from nydailynews. They have 3 dancers/teachers judge all the dances. According to them Ricki had the best dance of the night 1 point ahead of J.R. And they have Hope and Chaz tied for last place.

The ratings are going to be way up there tonight. And who do the suits at DWTS have to thank for that? Exactly. I personally salute your courage Maks, in standing up for your partner and your beliefs.
Lacey bitter much!!! Does she seriously think Chaz has been underscored. And the crap she said about the judges don’t like him, Didn’t Carrie Anne say Chaz was the one she was most anxious for???
I hope Maks and Lacey DO NOT return next season.
I agree with Sandy. The judges, especially Carrie ann have spoke many times of how they personally like Chaz. Carrie ann was even brought to tears by him! I think bruno’s penguin comment was uncalled for, but other than that I don’t think they were really wrong. On another note, Tom is such a lovely person! So witty and friendly, I think he is a massive part of why the show is a success.
Back away from Tom, Kenna – he’s mine. 😀
Thanks Vogue, always get a good idea of whats going on by your commentary!
I don’t blame Lacey for being upset about the name calling. Totally out of line, and not the first time. Bruno has really picked on him, and not in a good way. However, I don’t think she should be upset about the scores, Chaz is just not a good dancer. He has been overscored many times IMO.
The whole Maks (and Hope) thing is just sad. I had so looked forward to this partnership. 🙁
Wonder where Shep is?
LOL Heidi!!!
Sherry thanks! I was wondering on Shep too!!! I hope she pops in soon with her thoughts!!
haha, Heidi, sorry about that, didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes, haha. I suppose I can live with just being bff’s..
Tom is such a sweet guy besides being so funny. I agee he’s a big part of the show’s success.
