Entertainment Tonight Goes Into Dancing With The Stars Rehearsals, Interviews Three Couples
Entertainment Tonight went into rehearsals to interview three of the couples….
First up, Melissa and Maks! Melissa tells them she didn’t know she’d feel stupid all the time when learning how to dance. Maks says Melissa is too hard on herself and she’s doing great. He loves how much she’s liking and enjoying it all. He loves watching her reactions to the results and being happy about it. She’s took some dance lessons when she was two and she’s disco danced in clubs, but, it was nothing like what she’s learning now. What’s really fascinating about this part of the interview is what she says about “going as far as they can go”.
Next, Anna and Jack! Jack says Anna is the greatest gift about his new gig on Dancing With The Stars. The most difficult thing is taking some steps forward and having some great days and then recovering from taking a step back when things fall apart a little bit. Anna likes that he’s a hard worker, self motivated, and musical.
Finally, Peta and Donald! Donald says everything is great and Peta is a perfectionist. Sometimes that hurts him, but, he’s glad she’s strict. His team mates have given him some advise. Peta likes that he’s willing to do whatever she wants.
You can take in the interviews in full below or at the link. Check out their dancing too. I think Maks and Melissa are looking especially good! Jack is going to be really entertainining in a “Broadway” kind of way. Not sure about Donald yet? I’m curious for your thoughts?
Great video! Hope Anna and Jack do well!
I always enjoy these first rehearsal videos. Thanks, Vogue!
Melissa and Maks: Working hard: Melissa at getting her technique; Maks at being a kinder-gentler teacher. Luck to both of them with their separate challenges. 😉
Jack and Anna: I never watched soaps, so I’m just getting to know Jack. Seems like a funny guy — “Fooled you so far, huh, kiddo?” LOL I think Anna’s really enjoying his musicality.
Donald and Peta: “I can take coaching.” — “He’s just so dedicated”. What a nice change for Peta.
I’m discovering a new found appreciation for Peta’s hotness. Don’t know why. 🙂
Great video! Thanks for posting it! 🙂
I have to say that I’ve never been more confused about a season before! I really can’t pick two or three stars and say for ‘sure’ that these three are going to be into the finals! I really have to wait till the premiere and see them ALL dancing! All of them seem to be good and at the same level at this point (from what I’ve seen till now), if I can put it that way. Because some of them are going to be better for sure, I know that. That’s why I have to see them in a full first dance to understand.
I think it’s going to be an amazing season! Can’t wait!
YW Guys! Loving your thoughts (I left mine in the first post too, but, they got mixed up in some html. It’s fixed now)!!
Cidra, I agree how Maks seems so much gentler this season.
Ifi, I’m confused too (though that’s a normal state for me, lol). They all look so good so far. The 19th can’t come sooner.
BTW, did you guys see this tweet by Melissa last night? I about died laughing;

Maks is a roller coaster….this season we’re on the downhill. Up with Erin, Goin’ around a fast turn with Brandy, Down with Kirstie, up with Hope, down with Melissa, which means next season…
Heck, Heidi, sometimes the roller coaster speeds up and we get all that from Maks in one season 🙂
Low-key suits me better because I’m not a drama queen and watching drama-queens do their thing makes me tired and cranky.
That’s pretty much where I come from, Cidra.
Vogue: OMG YES! I did read Melissa’s tweet and thank the goodness I didn’t wreck my blackberry! I took a sip of tea as I was reading it 8-). I really liked Marlee’s reply as well – too cute!
I have a feeling we are going to ger happy yet tough Maks again (the Maks that was partnered with Kistie and to an extent Erin and Brandy and Tia). I don’t think we will see “Mad Maks” from last season 🙂 I’m all for trying to get the best results out of the partner and trying to conivnce the judges that you are trying and stuff but telling Len its time to retire was pushing it big time.
LOL “Mad Maks”, excellent shorthand, Vin.
If Melissa’s tweet is anything to go by, methinks there will be a lot of bleeping in the rehearsal vids for this pair, and it will be Melissa they’re censoring If Maks picks it up, things might get so bad they’ll have to ADR the packages. 😛
@Cidra: After last season thats what we call him in my house lol. My family has called derek “Johnny Quest” since hsi first season lol
Too funny, Vin. Got any other good nicknames?
Sadly I don’t lol.
Whoa – Johnny Quest is kinda on target. 🙂 Not so much any more but 5 years ago for sure.
LOL – Johnny Quest! Priceless, vin.
Maks’ bound to have a calmer season than last but thinking perhaps at the expense of some impact. Donald and Peta look fun but serious. Jack’s the subdued type you gotta watch out for.
