Peta Murgatroyd and Gilles Marini’s Iconic Dance To Be “Tango-licious” On Dancing With The Stars
Peta Murgatroyd and Gilles Marini visited with Mario Lopez on his radio show on 104.3 My FM. They talk of how the producers paired the couples and their partnership. It comes down to mostly height. Peta was almost paired with Joey Fatone as well. Gilles talks some on the dances he wanted to do and says he wants them to be spectacular. At the end, Peta chats a little on Maks as well. Interesting interview if you want to give it a listen (note that this interview took place before the season started).
As for this week, isn’t this a great shot of Peta and Gilles rehearsing for their Tango? Gilles has been tweeting that they are leaving their “soul” in it, they’ve got the “chemistry nailed down”, and it will be “Tango-licious!” according to @DancingABC (thanks Sophie).

That’s a really great picture.
Read somewhere (don’t know how true it is) that they originally had the pairs set up so no got their original partner, but Kirstie insisted on getting Maks, so they had to switch things around. It if it’s true, I would love to have seen the original pairings. Maybe it’s because we’ve already seen the couples together for a couple of months, I just couldn’t picture Peta with Joey or Kirstie with anyone but Maks.
Wouod someone be so kind to tell me what was said in Mario’s interview. I guess it is because I am on my IPad, but I can’t listen. What did PETA say about Max?
Lois, I pretty much touched on the highlights of the interview. But, for more on what she said on Maks,…she said she and Maks keep their work on DWTS and their relationship seperate from each other. Mario teases and asks if Maks has an issue with Peta winning a mirror ball last season (which he doesn’t). Peta jokes that she rubs the mirror ball in.
I wish they would have bagged casting Kirstie so that all new couples would be performing this season. I don’t believe for one second that Maks doesn’t have somewhat of an issue that Peta has the elusive MBT from HIS show.
Seriously, TANGO-licious… Ugh! It’s going to be along season with these two. Gag!
Haha. To be fair, it was @DancingABC that tweeted “tango-licious.
I think Maks would like to win, but I doubt he really cares that Peta has one and he doesn’t.
Be sure, it’s burning his ass that he doesn’t have a MBT.
When Donald and Peta won last season, it was Maks who got to Peta first and hugged her. I didn’t get the impression then or now that he’s jealous of her. After all, it’s “all in the family.”
As for the dance on Monday night, all I can say it better live up to the hype or folks will be disappointed. 🙂 Heck, all of the dances better. These are supposed to be “iconic” dances. 😉
In my opinion, the two wouldn’t have been dating this long if he had issues with her Mirror Ball? Sure, he’s competitive and wishes for a mirror ball, but, I don’t think it’s to the point he holds it against her. I remember him being the first to run up to Peta too when she won.
So true! He’s said this of her several times in interviews.
He should stay off social media and let us just enjoy how pretty he is. Even if his tweets are annoying and even though I have others I’m voting for instead, I still think he’s hot and he’s so completely more hot than William could ever be, the way he really focuses in on his partner, that to me is very very sexy.
I wonder if Joey had gotten a new partner, say Peta, there would have been more work on technique. Not to say Kym isn’t good with technique, just they are old friends and maybe they just focused too much on having fun together and she couldn’t see his flaws anymore. And maybe if Kym had Gilles he would come off more likable. Again, not saying Peta isn’t likable, I like her just fine, but Kym is such a sweetie.
Apparently y’all are down on Gilles and anything he says or does will be harshly criticized. He is not the only twittering about how great his dance is going to be. Derek is calling Shawn and his dance “epic” so please be fair.
Barb, I suggest you read around before jumping to conclusions – there is more at hand here than just Gilles’ tweets that are turning us off of him completely. And Derek isn’t claiming he & Shawn’s dance is great – the only tweets I’ve seen from him are just saying how much he’s enjoyed creating the routine. How ’bout YOU be fair? 🙂
I loved Gilles and came into this season wanting either him or Apollo to win. I still think Gilles is hot and a beautiful dancer. I wish he would settle down and go back to the Gilles of before. I don’t tweet, but if I did that is what I would tell him. Maybe people have???
In regards to Max and Peta I think Max is very proud of her and while he may love to get that mirror ball trophy I believe there are no issues between them at all. You can see how much he cares for her.
I agree with Jess that Joey might have been better off paired with a new pro. Apart from anything a new pro might have done, Joey himself may have worked harder just to avoid looking like a doofus in front of someone he didn’t know well. Peta might have been perfect from that standpoint.
Courtney, not trying to be confrontational, just honestly curious. What, other than his tweets, is it that’s causing such a negative reaction?
