PureDWTS Season 25 Week 3 Media, Recaps, And More After The Dances
With the Las Vegas shootings last night, the producers of Dancing With Thee Stars opted out of any interviews after the show. So, we don’t have much media. But, below are a few things as well as a review the scores.
Lindsey & Mark 27 (9, 9, 9)
Jordan & Lindsay 25 (9, 7, 9)
Drew & Emma 23 (8, 7, 8)
Vanessa & Alan 23 (7, 8, 8)
Victoria & Val 22 (8, 7, 7)
Derek & Sharna 21 (7, 7, 7)
Nikki & Artem 21 (7, 7, 7)
Frankie & Witney 21 (7, 7, 7)
Nick & Peta 21 (7, 7, 7)
Terrell & Cheryl 21 (7, 7, 7)
Sasha & Gleb 19 (7, 6, 6)
Mark & Lindsey had the dance of the night in my opinion. I loved Jordan & Lindsay and Drew & Emma too.To watch the dances again, see Idolxfactor.com (these videos work internationally) and the official Your Tube page. Don’t miss some behind the scenes videos at the official Facebook page.
People and Glamour have some recaps. Note this quote from People and the reason why Maks might not have danced last night. Geez, isn’t he paid to dance whether he has an issue with his partner or not?
However, sources confirm to PEOPLE that Chmerkovskiy did not perform by choice because of ongoing conflict with Lachey.
“There’s a big chemistry issue,” the insider says. “They both have big personalities and that’s not always the best recipe for a good partnership.”

In case you don’t know, there was no elimination last night. For week 4, the couples have one unlearned dance and it’s Most Memorable Year Night.
Be watching Extra, ET, E Online, FOX411, People, and Access Hollywood in case they post more recaps later. Thanks, All! xx
Vanessa doesn’t seem to think there’s a problem. Her Instragram post says: vanessalacheyThank YOU to @alanberstenand my new girl posse, the @dancingabcgirls troop, @brittbenae @hayley.erbert@dance10jenna!!! This was the ULTIMATE guilty pleasure! #GirlsNight
Don’t forget to vote! (Link in my Bio!) ????
I can’t WAIT to get started tomorrow with @maksimc on week 4! We’re cookin up something special for you!
Just putting this out there, Bobbi: if there were trouble in paradise, do you really think they’d let Maks and/or Vanessa broadcast it all over the place??? They’ve got too much riding on that partnership to let it crumble.
I’m with Courtney, something had to be up with them.
After the way Maks treated Vanessa the last couple of weeks, I’d have an issue with him too. He acts like a petulant child when he doesn’t get what he wants. I re-watched their packages and it seems to me that he is not happy with her. Maybe she stood up for herself and he didn’t like it. It’s sad because she is so excited about being on the show and is really trying hard.
I do hope that whatever is going on with Maks, it isn’t anything serious like illness or injury. I’d rather it just be Maks being a baby than hurt.
But, what do I know?
@Molly – And I go back to this: all the other times Maks has been injured or ill, we’ve heard about it – hell, it’s been milked for drama. So if it really was one of those – why not do the same now? Why barely say anything about it?
This is utterly classless and unprofessional. ALL pros have had issues with partners and not a one of them that I can remember has ever stepped out and said “I’m done”. The very best pros this show has seen – Derek, Mark, Cheryl – have had all kinds of problems with partners but they suck it up and try to work it out like adults.
IF this is true – and I’m not totally sure that it is, entirely – Maks should never be asked back on any form of this show. For that matter, ditch his brother too. Both of you – grown the fuck up. You have a fantastic, highly visible, well paying job on television. If you get a rep for behavior, your career could end there. And let’s not forget – Vanessa is the celeb of the partnership, not Maks. It’s on him to try to make it work.
P.S. Of course they’re not going to talk about it, Bobbi. For one thing, Vanessa is clearly more professional than that, for another the producers probably asked that she not air dirty laundry in public.
I truly enjoyed Jordan and Lindsey. We voted all night for them. They were great and Lindsey did an excellent, excellent job with Jordan.
Len is just an Old Fuddyduddy. I wish he would retire. He is just too moody and stuck in his old, old ways.
Courtney, I’m sure you’re right. If this is just him being unprofessional, then I hope they let Alan fill in the rest of the season and put Maks in the corner in time out.
PH, yeah the only other time I can think of that anyone just walked off was Tony with Kate Gosling. The difference there is I cheered because she was just so heinous. Vanessa seems like a sweetheart and I don’t get why he just can’t be happy about it. Can you imagine if he had gotten Barbara? Oh my goodness.
I’m sure that the show wants the return of Maks and if the video posted of the DWTS viewers choosing their pick is any indication then Maks and Vanessa could make the finals. Even more shocking… A front runner is barely mentioned while another is the clear winner among the viewers of all ages.
It’s posted on DWTSGossip site under “Who will Win?”. It’s quite telling.
I never, ever though that I would say this in a million years. Maks needs to “GO”. He is too, too arrogant. It’s just another PR stunt. Vanessa do not Maks. She an excellent dancer alone.
I can’t believe I used to be such a fan of the C bros especially Maks but eventually I realized what arrogant man babies they truly are I’m so thankful for this site it shows me how many others are sick of their antics and it helped me see the truth about them although their behavior on tv and Twitter also did that maybe one day the show will see the light and ditch them
I think if it was a health or family issue his brother or wife would have been gone too. And if it was illness they would have just said illness.
Sandy, I haven’t had a chance to browse around. Do you mean the poll was run by DWTS Gossip? Because that is basically a C bro fan site. If it was a real DWTS poll, then I’m not sure what to say, except why???
I had fun watching Alan and dreamed I was doing girl’s night out with him but I’ll never ever give my votes to Maks!
It doesn’t seem like People to publish news they can’t prove, and they also risk losing their unusually cozy relationship with ABC-Disney and the C Bros if they mess this report up. I don’t doubt that Maks would have weird work issues with his Stars and am extremely curious how TPTB will spin it.
Us Weekly says in their article that Maks refused to rehearse last week. IF this is true, I do not understand how they can keep having him on the show. We have all had to work with people we don’t like sometime in our lives, but we still show up and do our jobs.
There have been several bad or difficult partnerships in the life of DWTS. There have been nasty rehearsal fights and sometimes partners walking out on each other in rehearsals but no pro has ever refused to do a live show because that is their job. Maks didn’t even walk out on Hope Solo for any live shows and that partnership was arguably the worst in DWTS history. So, what if Vanessa said SHE didn’t want to dance with Maks last night because they had a big blow up and not the other way around and they accommodated, got Alan in and spun this story?
Again, all speculation and we might never know.
But of course, if the People and US Weekly stories are accurate than I agree with PH (post #6)!
Sorry I clicked submit before finishing last post. No matter who started it, producers probably allowed it last night but said they had to work out their partnership for the coming weeks, hence the articles saying they will dance together next week.
And if this is just a hoax by the team and producers to get more people talking about Vanessa and Maks and watching and voting for them, that’s completely ridiculous and pushing manipulation too far and not fair to the other teams.

Could be completely random and unrelated but I believe it was last week, maybe on Monday? that Erin made a comment to Maks during their interview after the dance, it was something along the lines of ‘come on Maks you know you would rather be dancing with Vanessa than me…’ and Maks commented that it is pretty similar. Again I am paraphrasing. At the time I thought the comment was a little out of left field but I figured there were some ‘off camera details’ so to speak that led to it. Not the first time it I have felt like I was missing part of the conversation during their interviews. No big deal. IF the rumors are true than Erin’s comment COULD tie in, not saying it does….
@rose – no it’s an actual video recorded after the show. They are asking people who will win this season.
it’s on dwts gossip twitter. I think it’s worth checking out. I think only one person said Lindsey and Mark.
Depends on who put the video together, Sandy. It’s very easy to edit a video in such a way to make it look how you want it to look – doesn’t even come close to making it a reality. Hardly a statistical reality – it’s barely anecdotal. Even Facebook can’t predict the winner, although it can be an indication if you’re going to be eliminated or not.
FWIW, I tried to find the video and couldn’t – but I doubt VERY much that it’s indicative of anything other than Producer wishes.
Despite everything I’ve said on the Maks issue so far, do not make the mistake of believing that People Magazine is anything other than a tabloid. It’s a couple steps up from the Enquirer, for sure, but still a tabloid. They print wrong shit all the time. If they get a good story that will get hits, I doubt very much it hurts their relationship with DWTS or Maks – the show and Maks need it more than it needs them. Maks ain’t all that.
If you look at the show’s Facebook page, the story is quite different. A lot of viewers are pulling for Jordan or Lindsey.
Hmmm. Interesting report and comments. Given Maks’ lack of investment and off vibes with these last few partners, and Vanessa’s excitement with Alan, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is something to this report.
Do we know if Maks was in rehearsal last week or if this “personal issue” was addressed in any press line interviews with Vanessa, Nick, Peta or Val as Maks’ injuries/other outs have been ad nauseam?
Your mileage may vary but for me, Maks hasn’t been invested in this show for a long time. He is there for a pay check that’s the bottom line. He has to feed his kid I guess. He’s as unprofessional as it comes. The show must go on…except with Vanessa? It does seem rather coincidental that it is yet another Jazz dance, *We remember Frozen, and how a penguin could have done a better job choreographing someone who can dance—and he gets Alan to pitch hit and take the fall for bad choreography. I think Maks knows he’s no good particularly when it comes to Jazz, but isn’t about to stick around for Len to tell him. He has far too large a head. And when that ego meets Vanessa who probably had a lot to say about it, he checked out. He has a business to run, based on a reputation, and he’s not about to let the show ruin it, he does it all by himself actually.
@Heidi – It’s on their twitter 23h ago right under the video of Tom B.

Granted they can splice and dice but it appeared to be audience members maybe waiting for the show.
He’s not even in it for the paycheck, Casanova – more like getting his face on TV for a few weeks to remind people that he exists. Can’t pimp the wife and baby to People EVERY week. That gets old and bigger stars are having babies and romances.
If this was true it would prove once again that TPTB have no backbone whatsoever. Anyone company worth their stones would fire Maks on the spot for unprofessionalism. He’ll probably get invited back next season and given a ringer! Only on DWTS would that kind of special treatment happen!
The money is good for a pro dancer so I doubt he would do this for charity. He needs to keep his face on the show for the franchise dance studio business, the more his mug is on the tv the more he can charge his clients. He is not going to give that all away to little brother, he has to remind him of his sacrifice so little brother could compete…I have to find a teeny tiny violin somewhere… and Tony has not been around enough. Anyway, he is just another Russian – or Ukranian dancer who is proficient but not very imaginative, and Jazz is not something he can do in his sleep, he has to work at it….and work is well, work. Better to take a hissy and let Alan dance his stinky choreo.
I’ve made it clear several times how much I like Maks- not as a choreographer or even necessarily as a pro on this show- but in general. I also really like Vanessa- she’s one of my favorites this season. If what is being reported is even close to being true, though, he needs to go. It’s unbelievably childish and unprofessional. Honestly, unless the show explains his absence (which I highly doubt) I probably won’t be voting for them anymore this season. If Tony and Keo can get through many of their seasons without quitting, so can Maks. Period.
It’s going to be telling if they don’t ask Maks to come back next season. Geez….there are so many great dancers out there who would give anything to be on this show….and some who are better than Maks and Val any day. Watching Strictly, DWTSRussia, and Edyta’s show was a learning experience and then some for me. And the first person I’d ask to replace either of them would be Alexey Balash.
After viewing comments on various websites, it appears that Maks’s PR machine is doing everything it can to make Vanessa look bad
@April – Good luck with that. With so much video proof of how badly Maks has treated his partners I’d say his PR machine has their work cut out for them.
If Maks were working in a normal job situation and acting the way that he has in the past and even now, he would have been fired.
Vanessa Lachey, stay strong, work hard , remain confident . The devious gaslighting manipulations to make you appear crazy, bitchy, unbalanced, irrational,is meant to hurt you, and is immoral emotional abuse.The only way narcissists can satisfy their grandiose ego and create the illusion of superiority is by putting others down. Eventually the huffing and puffing will stop, and the house of cards will come tumbling down. Hopefully, Alan will be your teammate to the finish line.
Um, what? Andy, how about you dial back a notch on the melodrama scale, eh? I’m not seeing a problem with Vanessa here, and I don’t think anyone else is seeing it either.
Unfortunately for Maks, long-time viewers aren’t terribly surprised. It’s like, here we go again. I doubt he sat out voluntarily though. Something petty bad had to have happened this time. Whether she is difficult or not, she is in his home so to speak, the experience is foreign to her. It’s his place to try to make her feel at home. I didn’t watch the packages while they were happening, but out of curiosity watched a bit on-line and it’s the same old Maks with his rudeness, pushing her into position, and mocking when she made mistakes. Why the heck did he come back when it’s clear he can’t stand that job. Is there nothing else he could do for work, or to keep his name out there?
Andy, wouldn’t it make more sense for you to post that on Vanessa’s page where she can actually see it, or was that a passive-aggressive maneuver?
I don’t think Vanessa is the problem. This is an example of when you are working a job you really don’t like but need the money, why you should quit and move on to something else. Maks’ half hearted attempts with his partners are sad. He has said so many times how he hated dancing as a youth, but I don’t think he likes it much better now. He doesn’t even seem invested in his DWM studios much beyond using his name. DWTS keeps him because of his popularity, but that has been waning for a few seasons now. Unfortunately, besides money, I think he’s addicted to the attention.
The music for Mondays show was pretty bad. Lindsay’s so talented to come up with the choro she did for that song and Jordan performed well. Lindsey and Mark just made me smile. It all felt a little off though coupled with the events of the day and then the Maks thing thrown in.
Couldn’t agree more with Heidi in post #28. This guy has no outside talent and an attitude that no main players want to deal with. I think another part of his continuation of the show is an attempt to improve his image and reinvent himself as a kinder, gentler person with the whole husband/father angle. So far, he’s only come off as indifferent and this latest stint certainly isn’t helping his campaign any.
