I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)
Aww, this was great!! Maria & Derek are hilarious together and so darn cute together!! She does look AMAZING in that photo.. Her parents are adorable too! They are in this DWTS journey right along with Maria-sweet!!
This will be airing on Ellen on Monday!
Good Luck Team Menough!!!
IT WAS A TASTEFUL PHOTO,IT WASN’T LIKE SHE SHOWED EVERYTHING.
Cool, can’t wait until the full interview. LOL…Ellen is too funny. Love the interaction with them!!
To say that i love Ellen is the understatement of the year..i simply adore her..and Derek always has fun when he is there not to mention he gets a lot of praise π … i knew (read hoped) this Ellen appearence is bound to happened after Derek’s shirtless pictures … :)) this is turning into a tradition π love it!!! π can’t wait to see the whole interview..i am sure it will be hilarious!!
Thanks for the clip, PH! Maria and Derek are pure delight — love ’em.
Poor Papa Menounos π That was a bit of a shock, bless him. Still it was a gorgeous and very tasteful picture of Maria.
Her dad’s reaction was classic. Leave it to Ellen lol
Ohhh, Maria’s dad was a good sport… but i would have died of embarrassment if i were Maria! I can’t wait to see the entire interview and a reprise of their Salsa on Monday. I wonder if Derek kissed Maria again or ran over and kissed Ellen… I think that would be hilarious! Or better yet if Maria went over to kiss Ellen!
Maria’s BF gave an interview & seems none of this bothers him which means all this stuff that they do & say with each other is all game play……I kind of wish they would cool it a little, she is seriously involved with someone & has been for 10 years so I think they need to be a little more respectful of that, I adore Derek but this season he just bothers me with his over the top stuff with Maria, almost like he is going too far to prove they have this sexy chemistry, its gets old fast & I have read alot of negative comments on sites, so they better be careful…
What a combo: Ellen, Derek & Maria! I loved seeing Derek & Maria so relaxed in this clip, & clearly affectionate — Maria reaching for his hand…I love their chemistry, I think it’s real, but not romantic, not sexy: Two people who genuinely like each other and enjoy the time they’re spending together. Can’t wait for the full Ellen show & can’t wait for more Maria & Derek Mon. nite!
@Lisa I think a lot of it is the show itself perpetuating their “romance”..they edit it so that is one of the main focuses…Maria said in an Afterbuzz video that in the week they danced about a year in their life, she specifically talked about and thanked her boyfriend for his impact in getting her where she is, as well as her parents, but they cut out when she mentioned her boyfriend..it’s all played up, but ultimately in good fun, I think.
People who work on the show say their chemistry is amazing. As for people talking on other sites? Spare me the anecdotal evidence – odds are they are the same people who bitch every time Derek opens his mouth.
And really, if you never have anything good to say about someone, yet continually claim to be a fan? Yeah, yer not convincing. π
I, for one, love the way Maria and Derek act with one another and I do not think it’s just for “show”. I also don’t think they are romantically involved. But when you get two very affectionate people together who obviously adore one another, people are going to think something is going on because they have amazing chemistry. If Maria’s bf is okay with the way they act with each other both on and OFF camera, then why should YOU? All I know is that Derek is looking like he is having the time of his life with Maria (and he knows that she has a bf) and Maria just adores Derek. I don’t think any of that is for “show”.
i totally agree with Elmari…i just think they clicked perfectly, i think they have similar personalities, an amazing sense of humor, they enjoy spending time together and acting ten yo for ever….they have fun and that shows…i don’t think they are playing the showmance card….i think that card is played by TPTB..and if her BF said he has no problems with their relationship … who are we to say otherwise? just saying….
Derek knows that Maria has a BF and has said repeatedly, ‘I am not that guy!”. That’s part of the reason why we love him so much, because he wouldn’t move in on someone like that. π
Yes, I agree with you Meggie…but its too bad that 2 ppl with so much in common don’t explore it sometimes.
My grandma who LOVES Derek and votes for him with computer, cell etc. thinks they should dance to “A Kiss is just a Kiss” theme from “Casablanca” with as she says, “all the hoopla about them kissing”
I think maybe it should be Prince’s “Kiss” but who knows. I love the way grandma thinks and her taste in men….
Since derek is mentioned in the article I thought this would be the ideal place to mention this: Jenny Garth has a reality show on CMT now. I saw an advertisment online.
I like the way your grandma thinks, @mimi f acworth!
I would love to see them dance to that. It would be fantastic in more ways than one! π
What does it say about Derek, @vin?
Haven’t any of you had a boyfriend for several years and fell for someone else? The chemistry is obvious, although she is on Extra here in the U.S. and he obviously loves London…..a lot may be for show, but if someone is secure enough, why would they have to ask their significant other if it is ok to kiss a dancing partner – hello? At any rate, they do dance well together and I hope they win….
I don’t think that TPTB are even playing the showmance card. I think showmance is in people’s heads at this point. TPTB didn’t need to do anything. Derek whispers in Katherine’s ear in a night club and it’s all over the UK press that he’s hot for her and that he wants to date her. Seriously – Derek just has to breathe the same air as an attractive woman and there are stories. Same goes for Maks and Mark – although I don’t think they’ve been so blessed (cursed) with the UK media scrutinizing their every move. Thanks, Cheryl Cole. (That was sarcasm)
I sure know it’s in my head, I just wish it would hurry up and happen, already…
Yup, what he really needs is another high maintenence chick who treats him like the help and doesn’t want to be even photographed with him (yes, sarcasm). I think he would and does prefer the Fun, daredevil, sports-interested girl for something permanent. In years of following him, I’ve never seen the kinds of looks and smiles that are happening now. He has never looked better or more confident–and there is nothing sexier than a confident man. Thrilled for him that he’s havin a great time and I hope somehow, it continues.
Maria reminds me of Julianne in a way. Derek always says that she is the daredevil in the family. Did you see the photos of her (and Derek) jumping of that yacht??? I bet Maria would have done that too! Maria is always saying how she what’s to experience everything in life and the more it’s out of her comfort zone the better. I think Derek admires that!
“that she WANTS to experience ….” Sorry! π
@Meggie: IThe article I read mentioned him as being her dance partner so I’m guessing he will make an appearance at one point (probably wishful thinking but it goes to show how big of a star he becoame becuase of the show π ) and I put the comment here becuase this article is about M + D on the ellen show lol.
The* (sorry that just bugged me that I screwed up the word “the” lol)
Thanks, vin! I hope he’s on the show too!
@Meggie: Np π sorry for late reply btw. I saw you commented back before but I didn’t want to risk answering with my phone lol.
