You are very welcome GA! I've probably watched it myself a dozen times already! Maks is so incredibly sexy, the only reason why I watch this show!

He is either in lust, or knows he has the perfect partner, and maybe a good chance at winning. Something's different with him this season, and for once I agree with CA when she says, there is a magic between them.

I don't mind the guest judges. If I don't care for them, I ignore their comments.

Maks has always been my favorite pro. I thought Erin Andrews brought out a softer side to Maks when they were partnered together, and we all know something was going on between those two But I have never seen Maks like this! He seems to be in complete awe of her, and it's so obvious how much he respects her. Meryl seems to be challenging Maks as much as Maks is her.

Agreed.

I was surprised to see how much of his vulnerability was exposed in the package; his worries about being a good enough teacher and choreographer for his partner. A lot does ride on the pro, and how perfectly they choose that final free style. How can he not be terrified of that? But the package really brought it home. No wonder the guy has seemed so erratic in the past. Yes, Meryl is an amazing personality balance for him. I don't know if there will ever be a romance, but I would think he now knows what he needs in a future romantic partner: she gives him something he has long needed. I don't think he wants to just be sex on a stick, regardless of how much he seems to enjoy playing that up.

It seemed like he was questioning himself and was feeling a lot of pressure. He feels like the judges expect a lot from Meryl, which in turn reflects on him, and he does not want to let her down.

Meryl seems to be a very perceptive person, and she never seems to lose her composure. I bet that that comes from years of training in the sport of ice skating. And she does seem to be a really good balance for Maks. I would love to see them win it all.

This, too.

I worry how much voters will penalize Meryl for having some dance training as part of her ice dancing, but I WANT them to win. For Maks. That may be unfair to the other stars, but so be it. Many of the stars deserve to win and among them alone it is tough choice. Add in the pros, and it is Max's turn.

THIS!

This pairing has shown itself to be a home run. I love how they balance each other out. I wasn't familiar with Meryl before this season, but I enjoy getting to know her this season. I also enjoy seeing more of what I believe is "the true" Maks. His vulnerability is endearing, and I love that we get to see this side to him. I do hope either he or Val takes it this year, as I feel both have been robbed in the past. If Maks ends up taking it this year, I'll jump for joy. He deserves it and I'm glad he has Meryl to show what he's truly capable of, and what a great dancer he is!

Those of you who are new to Meryl and Charlie , should look at these from 2010:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (I adore Phantom.I liked it more than Virtue and Moir's dance. Their athleticism, speed and unison is just amazing.)
And from 2014 - Derek Hough choreographed for their Sochi performance of I Could Have Danced All Night.

Terrible news for team Val-Danica. Hope they can pull it thru:

I love the Paso Doble and the Argentine Tango, but not looking forward to either NeNe or Candace's Argentine Tango. It will be interesting to watch Amy Rumba, is it a dance that require more ankle movement? I am getting sick of them ignoring when she can't actually do the dance.

When Heather Mills was on she had Foxtrot week 1, Mambo, Jive and then Waltz, Samba and Paso Doble. Her waltz was good and they actually showed her feet. I know she only had one prosthetic leg, but she did her dances not covered the ballroom up.

I don't know. Has anyone else went back and watched Heather Mills. She was getting none of the breaks they are giving Amy.

Interesting teams. Wonder how the Hough/Ballas - Chmerkovskiy combo will work out.

Thanks Max for posting the info! Latin night is my favourite. It's nice to see what the next epi will consist of before hand.
