I wouldn't wish Maks on anyone as a partner, and she got stuck with him. From last week's little rehearsal clip, it looks like he finally got someone who can put him in his place. Hopefully they won't end up hating each other, that just kills the dance.
The favorites seem to be Mya, Aaron, the swimmer and Donny, and I don't care much for any of them, although I'm starting to get to know Mya and she's okay (but jeez, she's a choreographer for chrissakes...ringer much?).
I don't think Iron Chef Mark is going to as far as others think he will; he's too stiff. I like Kelly and am rooting for her, but I doubt she'll have the stamina to last. I hate Joanna but I love Derek, so I wouldn't mind them making final 3, but I wouldn't want Joanna to win. Snowboarder Louie is a cutie, and it's funny to watch him dance with his stubby little legs and hobbit hair, LOL. The two jock guys can't go soon enough for me.
