But then, Mel came along and it was a totally different ballgame .Laila has her own special place and Mel has her special place in Maks' heart with their experience on DWTS.

Maks is SOOOOOO sweet when he said, "ever minute that we spend is beautiful". I LOVED Maks and Laila then and I still LOVE them now. I loved all the wonderful things Maks has said about Laila. They were a great dancing pair and like Maks said he "found his match" with Laila. Their similar working ethics worked well together and I loved every minute they gave me. It was all beautiful to watch.

In a way I'm glad Maks told Len off last episode. Len is constantly criticizing Maks and I'm sure Maks is getting tired of it. Laila said it was her idea so I don't know why he's always on Maks' case.

@nicknsharonfan I think Laila gives off the energy that she doesn't approve of all the affection, hand holding etc. Maks is a pretty affectionate guy.

Notice they always end their dances apart? And not much hugs or kissses after they finish each dance like other couples do. I don't know if it's because of her fiancee but come on, Maks, show some affection!

I love his energy when he's waiting for the scores. I think like a lot of us, Maks's energy shifts according to the woman he's dancing with. I really liked the way he came across with Laila and Mel B.

This was a beautiful jive, because it actually looks like the normal jive and not a Ballroom jive. 

[NicoleH73]

He's so sweet and soft spoken in this clip!

Meh, the judges are tripping. They were trying to add some personality to the dance and great entertainment. The introduction of their dance made the whole dance stand out to where I enjoyed it more than their others, and that takes a lot.

@MichaelGandDavettaS When Maks said, "I think I met my match" he was talking about her being a challenge for him, hence his serious expression when he said it. Other than that, yes, they make great partners. The best part is they show the dynamic of two people who have a strong connection without it being a romantic one. Everyone acts like "sexual/romantic" love is the only powerful "connection" there can be between people. Maks and Lalia prove against it.
