Love how Kelly Monaco says to Tony “I want to see Val win and that’s all I have to say about that.” Considering that Tony was who beat them last year that was funny.
This is probably a rotten thing to say ,but I won’t let that stop me. I have real mixed emotions about Kelly Monaco , Val and Maks .When Kelly danced with Val the sparks flew, she talked about Val being on GH
then all of a sudden there was no Val and Kelly together and lo and behold Maks is on GH. I think the body language between Val & Maks is different and I don’t really give a damn what Kelly wants.
I think there was some under handed or double dealing between Kelly and Maks against Val. And Kelly doesn’t act like she has a lot of moral character. IMHO
@Janet – For what it’s worth, I think I remember something about Maks actually having to sub for Val on GH – it was originally supposed to be Val, but he had some other contractual obligation to fill…maybe rehearsals for this season had started? I can’t remember exactly, but I don’t think it was the result of any sort of conspiring between Kelly & Maks.
However…
…after some of the stuff that went down last season, I get the feeling Kelly is a bit of a mean girl, and thinks just a little too highly of herself. If she’s sore about not winning last season, tough – and while I don’t necessarily think the right couple won, I also don’t think Kelly should’ve won…and she probably should have avoided saying something that could be misconstrued as a bit snarky towards Tony. Lord knows he’s good-natured enough to just let it roll off his back, but it just makes her look kind of…bitter.
Don’t know anything about the GH situation but I totally agree with you otherwise, Courtney
Spot on about your feelings about Kelly .
I went to the Val and Kelly fan event they held on the east coast earlier this year. Val was supposed to be on GH. I’m not sure if it was before or after he got confirmation that he would be on this season but there was an annoucement that since he was not available, Maks would take over for him. There was no underhanded dealings. I mean, that’s just made up drama and looking to create issues where they was never any.
I am aware of what ALLEGEDLY went down last season but I dont think Kelly thinks very highly of herself. Quite the opposite. She is the first to point out her flaws and even admitted to knowing she wasn’t the strongest. She just didn’t want it to deter her from working hard. She makes fun of herself and so does her own mother who was also at the fan events.
Her and Tony are friends off the show. So I doubt he was offended either. He most likely wants Val to win as well since they are in business together, it would be good for the Dance With Me studios to have TWO owners with trophies and it would be the first chmerkovskiy to win one. They consider each other family so I doubt there is bad blood or drama.
I also agree that Kelly’s comments didn’t put her in a good light. I think she should be happy they made it as far as they did and say no more on the subject.
I think Kelly’s comment was fine. Don’t see the big deal. Sheri Sheppard said the same thing and no one calls her bitter or mean or tells her she doesn’t have a right to choose who she wants to win.
They are Val’s old partners. Who else do you think they would want to see win? Mark?! LOL Even that fool Wendy Williams is still loyal to Tony even though he gets paired with duds LOL
If one of Derek’s old partners said they want him to win or one of Karina’s partners said they want to see her win I would’t make a federal case out of it.
Oh joy. The Kelly trolls have returned. :::roll:::
“Federal case”? Drama queen much, Tasha? You’re the only one getting really worked up about it.
And Nat, you totally missed the point on Tony – I never said he was offended, and I even made a point of saying he’s too good-natured to even bother saying anything if he was offended. Read more carefully next time. And as for what “ALLEGEDLY” went down last season – believe what you want. I believe Kelly is a conceited twit with a stank attitude, and if she wasn’t trying to sound like one with the “and that’s all I have to say about that” quip, she failed.
How am i a troll? Cuz i have a different opinion?
I called no one names and am not worked up. I just said i didnt read into anything she said cuz there wasnt anything she said that hasnt been said already by other people for obvious reasons. Sometimes things are just that straight forward.
I will believe what I want, which tends to be what I see. Which was Kelly and Karina embracing after her Rumba as well as them being friendly at DWTS after parties as well as Kelly and Karina being well acquainted and friendly long before all star season when they were both a party of Edyta’s bridal party.
And i’m not a troll. This link was posted on twitter, I clicked and decided to comment. I was under the impression it was a board open to everyone. I didn’t know that since I liked Kelly I would be considered a troll because I had a differing opinion.
That being said, I dont think her comment was a big deal. And IA with Tasha that it’s been said by others who they want to win. Kelly was asked a question and answered. It would be Val’s first trophy and she wants to see him get one. No harm in that.
I don’t understand why anyone feels that her answer had anything to do with last season, except that Kelly would root for Val because he was her partner and friend. It sounded like, I’m rooting for Val, and I don’t feel the need to explain, to me. Just a simple straight forward statement.
The fact that neither of you have posted here before (and decided to drop in the minute we start talking negatively about Kelly to “defend her honor”) generally points to trolling intent. And the fact that you went straight to talking about Karina without me even mentioning why I thought Kelly was a “mean girl” tells me you’ve been lurking for awhile, Nat. I don’t give a rat’s ass about you liking or not liking Kelly – you & I both know that’s not why I think you’re trolling. And the fact that THREE of you posted right on top of each other , basically parroting what the other said, screams “troll” as well. Sorry, Dianne, your comment got trashed…try not making accusations next time.
You’ve defended your girl. Good for you. It’s done now. Now let’s move on.
Aaaaand there goes #4. Nope, this is just pure coincidence…no trolls here. :::roll:::
Considering the link was posted on twitter, a public site someone other than myself could have seen the link, no? The only reason I am posting here is because I like Kelly, a link to an interview I never seen lead me here and I commented.
And the Karina stuff was also shared on multiple websites. I posted on the Daytime Dish message board, we have a DWTS thread and it was passed on there as well as TWOP’s DWTS thread. We know it came from here because a source was given.
I dont know if there is paranoia here on the regular but I said my piece. My opinion is my own, obviously, and I dont think Kelly is the boogie man.
If only like minded opinions are welcome, then please state that so everyone knows right out the gate.
Great. Now move on.
Lol, the interaction between Kellie and Andy in this video is hilarious. It’s sweet of Andy to support Kellie and to root for her to win.
In terms of what Cheryl said about the freestyle determining the winner, I know that the couple with the best freestyle usually wins every season, but I would have to disagree. Last season is probably the exception because in my opinion, Shawn and Derek had the best freestyle, but Melissa and Tony ended up winning.
Also, this season, I think that it’s pretty even in that each couple has a good chance of winning and coming up with a good freestyle. As of right now, I think that Jacoby might take it all, but I hope that in the end, the top two will be Zendaya and Kellie because they have done consistently well all season and to me, were the best.
All everybody has to say ever is that the best freestyle wins. While I think the freestyle plays a huge part, I absolutely don’t think it comes solely down to that dance. In my opinion Shawn and Derek had far and away the best freestyle last season, and we all know how that turned out!
I would just like to say that if Kelly was a “mean girl” towards Karina, and I don’t doubt it at all, and then Karina goes to say congrats to Kelly after her rumba and doesn’t mind to pose in a photo with her for the how or for a fan……then it just proves what I thought all along….Karina is a lovely person.
…while I agree that Kelly’s (Monaco, that is) tone did her no favors, I don’t think she intended to be snarky, not towards Tony anyway. Of course, that’s just me, and I didn’t care for her much attention last season, but even I would have raised a brow if she didn’t say Val. It would only be seen as disloyal if she’d said anything otherwise. She could have “delivered her line” better, for sure, but I’m pretty sure that’s just her default tone 😛
Kelly Monaco is best friends with Cheryl Burke. Why don’t you just ask Cheryl what kind of person Kelly is rather than forming assumptions. And in the great scheme of things, why does it matter?
Gee, Diane, why don’t you stop trying to tell everyone what to do? 🙂
This is almost funny…. Sorry, C, for being the one to deal with this last night…
Even “Mean Girls” have friends, so saying that having Cheryl Burke as a friend proves that Kelly’s a sweet person doesn’t do it for me. Cheryl doesn’t exactly have rainbows shooting out of her butt…… And as they say, “birds of a feather flock together”……
Ditto Court! This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Diane K tell others what to do. I’m tiring of it and the Kelly trolls too.
I thought Kelly Monaco seemed snotty as well. Cheryl had an ‘attitude’ too. It’s no wonder why they are friends.
:::raises hand::: Actually, I did call Sherri bitter. More than once.
Ask Cheryl?? Mean girl number two? LOL…okay sure.
I kind of thought she just wanted Val to win because she knows how hard he is working because they are in contact all the time… I didn’t think it was a stick to Tony at all. I don’t think Tony would be upset because he probably wants Val to win too.
Ironic you guys think it was a stick to Tony and Melissa because everyone seems to think she sticking it to someone. Valdaya shippers (lord help them) thinks it was a stick (some of the shippers harass her on Twitter) think) to Zen because she is jealous. lol
Sometimes you just say things and it doesn’t come out right.
It’s when it happens a lot that you have to start to wonder, Toonmili.
My impression of Kelly goes back several seasons when she basically snubbed Tom Bergeron when she was sitting in the audience and he had the audacity to want to speak to her.
You know what I think is interesting? The fact that Kelly fans are still sweating what we say about her here, almost 6 months after season 15 wrapped. 😛 You guys seriously felt the need to tweet out a link to this post to rally the troops to come save the day? Go right ahead, I guess…more hits for us. 😀
That is very interesting. lol
I just think that Kelly’s comment is what is wrong with DWTS…”I want Val to win”….last time i checked it was Dancing with the STARS….i get it- she wants Val to win because he was her pro. The correct response should be “I am rooting for Val and Zendaya”…bc not for anything..Val wouldn’t be here without her. I think it is true…the pros are bigger than the celebs and it is causing issues. I mean Derek said it in a recent interview- a woman came up to him in Vegas and said that she loves him but doesn’t vote for him because he has won too much- um, where is the logic in that? I am sensing the rallying of wanting Val to win- he is a C bro, they never won, he is a great dancer (i think after this season which started off with a ton of potential fyi), shows that he really isn’t on the level that some people thought he would be. He choreographs for BlackPool, not DWTS. He tried a little production last week and it failed. anywho, i am all over the place. Looking forward to the final though- i think all 4 dances will be completely different. I have a feeling you are going to see Derek and Kellie pull a dance style very similar to Tony and Melissa last year….just a hunch:)
Kelly snubbed Tom? She is dead to me. Phfffttt.! 🙁
She did, Auntie – I’ll never forget the whole Ice Queen stare and Tom’s discomfort. Court and I discussed it here – I think it was in a cheesecake, actually. COOOOLLLDDD.
Nobody is mean to my Tom. Nobody. 🙂
I agree, PH. Tom is such a sweetheart. I think I watch mostly for him. 🙂
PH, I agree with you – being mean to Tom is not a forgivable offence. He is nice to everybody, absolutely everybody.
I actually think he deserves the MBT more than anybody else.
If I recall, in the encounter w/Tom
(which either happened on the 200th episode or the season 11 finale, I think), she also referred to Alec as “the Iceman” and I got the overall impression that she didn’t really look back at her time on the show w/fond memories. The whole exchange was uncomfortable to watch – very “I’m only here because I am contractually obligated to be here” vibe. So yeah, I was surprised she ended up signing on for all-stars.
I agree that it shouldn’t be about the pros at all. She should have said something like “I want Zendaya and Val to Win because they are so good and Val is a great teacher and I want him to get one..”. Its about the Celebrities, not the pro. If you are rooting for a particular pro you have to acknowledge that the pro can only go as far as the celebs allow. Would Val have made the finals if he had say… The Judd woman. Would he have made it this far if Zendaya was a difficult bratty student who didn’t put in the work.
That being said I do think Val gets that its about Zendaya and not him. He has her dancing a lot. He let tell her fans to tweet hip/hop even though he felt he was embarrass himself. And he tweeted to some of her diehard fans (i’m talking account making monsters) after the last show that he sees their support and will try to make all their dances worthy of their support (her fans didn’t care for the quickstep much and I think he notices that). The results show when he said it was his fault… he said it in a joking manner but I think he believed it. He must be thinking that if he can’t get Zen to finals then I did something wrong. It’s like having the ingredients to make a perfect cake and as a chef all you have to is make if correctly. If the cake falls, you feel kind of crappy.
I tend to support the celebrity. I just like it better when the celeb I like is with a Maks lol. I supported Shawn, Rob Kardashian, Zendaya, Lil Kim, Roshon, Kelly Osborn, Brandy
I love Maks but that doesn’t mean I am going to support or vote for everyone he is with. I want him to stick around so I can see all his antics but if they go…they go.
well that was fun…i just got harassed by Kelly trolls on twitter! People need to get a life- all because of my response to DWTSGossip about it being about the couple and not just the pro. Wowzers…little girls/boys whoever they are need to go back to school and learn some ENGLISH before learning how to tweet hate all day with filthy language… LOL.
Seems like the Kelly trolls are just as sickening as the Zendaya trolls… they need to find a new hobby, it’s mot like they are actual friends with these people.
Joey, why do you think that we have such a low opinion of them (and Zen fans too)?? We see what goes on on twitter and on instagram by those little darlings. Yet they have to the nerve to bitch about us. Come on, children, keep coming!! We love all the hits!! 🙂
I could seriously start an entire post entitled “Dumb Sh*t Zendaya Fans Say”…because Lordy, do they have some “derp” moments. Especially on Instagram…those who follow me on Twitter have gotten the pleasure of screen caps of some of my faves 😛 I think my favorite was “Kellie shouldnt even b on dwts she already won american idol”. 😯
My favorite that I heard was Kellie shouldn’t be on dwts because she was a professional country line dancer.
P.S. Loving PureDwts
Hey that’s our future generation of political leaders, teachers, lawyers and doctors you are all talking about now….Just think one day, they’ll be teaching our kids “That you weren’t there, so you don’t know” mentality.
Gee thanks Cher, now I’m really depressed..lol
That was one of my personal favorites, Courtney. My other favorite was when someone posted on Derek’s Instagram that they love Val and zendaya And could he please tell them. Um, yeah sure, dumbass.
LOL!!!!!!^^
