'Dancing With the Stars' Pro Takes a Break - Maksim Chmerkovski...

[Stephanie]

I have watched Dancing with the Stars faithfully every season and Maks consistently comes across as a grade A ass to me. He's hateful to his partners and always ends up making them cry. My heart broke for Denise Richards. I would see her try to look up at Maks for encouragement and support and her would barely glance back at her and would quickly turn his head as if he was totally disgusted. I wish he would leave the show and never come back. He is arrogant and I hope he know that when he looks in the mirror he is looking at the reason he has never won. The man lacks humanity and caring. I don't see a geniune love for other people coming from this guy. He and Karina make a great pair because she often has a pissy, nasty look on her face when the camera focuses in on her and her "not so great partner" and she realizes that she's been paired up with a dud. Maybe Maks and Karina will ride off into the sunset ... and never return. We'd all be the better for it!

I absolutely love Max!! He has got to be the sexiest man alive!! I agree he is conceited and arrogant, and that him and Karina will be perfect together. But who cares when you see that sexy body and beautiful smile!! I am so upset that he got booted off so soon, not fun watching anymore if I can't look at Max's ass!!

Maksim is a true professional dancer. He loves what he does and wants his partners to have the same passion for dancing .
I had the pleasure to take a lesson with him and all I can say that he is a kind and fantastic person and great teacher.
He is what the show is all about.
