DWTS: Do you think Maks crossed the line?

Dancing with the Stars was down to the last seven lucky couples.  They were all trying to burn up the dance floor with their own choreographed dances and group dance.  Ousted Carson Kressley joined the seven for a brief reunion.  He returned as a creative director for the group dance and joked that the one who can’t dance will teach.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy encouraged the audience to boo at Len Goodman after he declared Hope Solo’s rumba to “Season’s of Love” the “worst dance of the season.  Maks complained that the judges were too judgmental when it comes to Hope’s dancing.  Len Goodman responded by saying he’s been in the business for 50 years.  Maks shot back “Maybe it’s time to get out.”  Carrie Ann Inaba jumped in and told Maks not to be disrespectful.  Hope wound up with a score of 20.

Chaz Bono was only one point lower than Hope - totally 19 for his tango to “The Phantom of the Opera.”  Bruno Tonioli thought the character didn’t fit Chaz and Carrie Ann told him he needed more content.

Len Goodman praised Rob Kardashian’s cha cha deeming it clean and precise with good timing.  The only negative comment was that there was no rhythm.  Rob goes into the elimination round this week with a 22.

According to Carrie Ann, Nancy Grace nailed the foxtrot dancing to“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”  She did well with a 24 from the judges.

Carrie Ann noted that David Arquette was a little out of sync but the actor turned dancer ended up with a 23.  Len encouraged him by saying his quickstep was “full of enthusiasm.” 

Ricki Lake and J.R.Martinez are in a horse race to finish first this season.  According to Len, Lake did a “fantastic quickstep” and Bruno credited Martinez with a “rip rising hit.”

The top two contenders scored 29 a piece.  

I think the most exciting part of the night came with the exchange between Maks and Len.  Do you think Maks crossed the line?
