It's Dancing with the Stars, not Maksim's Show. And judges are there to critique. If he can't take it leave. His partners never win because his teaching is abusive and rude. All the other instructors are caring and showcase their Star partners. Maksim's ego surpassed his talent, they should fire him from the show. Derek made Hope look good on the group dance (he's a sweetheart).

These judges need to take it easy with their harsh comments. Maks is right! Maybe it's time Len retires and they get someone new in there. Carrie Ann is a bitch! Mak's is definitely a little tough with his dancers but that's his style and he does a good job! It can't be easy trying to teach people who can't dance to save their lives!

I recommoned Max to talk to the soviet union judges that way they would shoot him on the spot,why is he in America oh maybe what he makes on one episode would feed a village in his country.

Maks you never shove, hit or get abusive with a female. SHAME ON YOU!

Maks is a hero. It takes guts to stand up and defend others. Sure, he's got spirit. I love him, love his personality, his commitment to excellance, and the fact that he speaks up when he sees injustice. Any person with a brain would understand what Maks meant by "my show". He always acknowledges TEAM and personal contribution. Those judges have needed to be leveled because they have been been inconsistent with their high scores and judging, their comments have gottie meaner and they've said things that are so hurtful (most recently Chaz looking like a penguin). All three should sit back and watch reruns of their comments... or maybe an authority figure can share some insight with them. The dancers and most contestants are killing themselves to perform and should get respect from the judges.
