Uh oh. The chances of Maksim Chmerkovskiy(‘s ass) returning to Planet Mirrorballus for season 13 of Dancing With the Stars are looking slimmer by the minute — much like his dance partner! — now that ultimate hidden gem Tom Bergeron predicts Maks’ signature love/light sexual harrassment pats will come to a screeching halt.
If Maks leaves the dance floor, who will keep Tom on his pleasantly surprised/perhaps mildly annoyed twinkletoes now? A DANCMSTR nation weeps.
Press the little triangle below to hear my final springtime chat with Our Host.
Time to screen all calls for the summer, Tom! You never know who will call up, disguise herself as the Disembodied British Voice, and try to get you to say “Macy’s Stars of Dance.” [Shudder.]
See you in September, everyone.

Without Tom, there would be no DWTS. Case closed
Have a great summer everyone! See you in September!
NO!!!! What will we do without Maks’ booty next season?!
Indeed I totally agree..:)
first derek and now maks? say it ain’t so. i thought maybe mark would take over but he doesn’t have that “it” factor. no julianne. no derek and no maks? less viewers for sure. lose cheryl and you can put a nail in that coffin.
Sigh, another show to delete off my DVR…..
I’d say it’s Jeff Probst, Bergeron and then Seacrest in terms of best hosts out there, in my opinion.
What’s wrong with a little ass grab – it’s way better than having the giant 3D boob thrust and jiggle
Without Maks there is little appeal he is the bad and the beautiful the funny and the sweet. Mark so doesnt have it Tony is very nice Dimitri thinks he’s Maks but he isnt Maks is the center of the show without him it looses a lot of appeal
Give me Dimitri any day over Maks. See ya Maks don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.
I agree. Dmitri is much more appealing than boring Maks.
I agree 1000% Maks is so annoying and full of himself. Dimitri ? Yes Please !!!!
No way. Keep Maks. Without him the show would be boring.
Dimitri is way hotter.
I think the voting was fixed Monday night, I tried to vote for Chelsea twice, when I dialed the number on the screen showing when she was dancing it thanked me for voting for Hines. Something was not right.
Yeah, my friends and family all tried voting for Hines but only one of us was able to get through for an entire hour. I was worried that would hurt Hines’ chances.
Tom is the best host ever. He is DWTS. I think maybe it’s time to lose Maks and Bruno. It would be great to get Julianne and Derek back. I really miss them.
I think it’s a must to keep both Maks and Bruno. If anything, they can get rid of Mark.
I agree that Maks and Bruno should go. I’d like to see Oksana replace one of the female pros (Cheryl? Anna?)and someone fresh replace Tony.
Annie I will miss reading your fun posts every week. They make me laugh and smile each time. All I can do now is spend the summer gem hunting in real life.
Maks has always been my favorite. He’s HOTTTTT! I think i melted a little when he did the Lenny Kravitz number with Kirstie… Get rid of Karina and Mark, bring back Edyta and Alec and everything will be fine!
Maks has gotten full of himself. Get rid of the old judges and find new ones. Tom B has to stay on but Brook Burke has to go. Get Erin Andrews to cohost with Tom. Also lets get season 13 the season of all the 3rd place finishers to come back and compete.
If Maks leaves, find a replacement who is as tough as he is. I love his blunt, tough guy teaching style.
I would like to see someone–anyone–replace Carri-Anne. No explanation required here. If we keep getting rid of the pro-dancers, what show would it be. I say, rethink the voting system and that Carri-anne misfit.
Uhmm, that’s not what Tom said at all! He said that Maks wouldn’t grab his ass all the time, rather it would happen more randomly. In fact, the way I hear this comment, it seems Maks will be back. Afterall, Maks can’t sometimes goose Tom if Maks isn’t around.
