you shouldn't judge! not everything is as it seems on tv. They only show a short little clip, you have no idea how he acts all the other times. Everyone has breaking points and moments where stress gets to much. It's a part of life, it doesn't make him a bad person or teacher!

Some people have a harder time learning than others and are not as coordinated, Melissa may not be the best dancer but she's been trying really hard and Maks needs to quit being such an asshole. It's not even just about Melissa, but with Hope last season too. If Maks is having such a miserable time teaching his partners then he needs to leave the show and give his place to a pro who will be a lot more patient with and happy to teach a non-pro.

I heard that Maksim quit! He was never going to win the Mirrorball anyway. He curses out his partners!

Oh come on! She was great....where are the 9s????

Melissa looked so good in this dance! and maks looks good in glasses!

Everyone that's criticizing Maks, think about this. What if you had four days to teach someone something they knew nothing about, but you were very good at, such as a sport you may play or have played. It would be very frustrating, would it not be?

I agree sometimes that he does go too far, but he knows he did & he apologizes for it.

i cried sooo much when she left she shouldve stayed until aleast the semi finals just my opinion !! F_UCK abc for all the stupid footage Maks is a good man no need for them to do this if they didnt wan thim on DWTS then why dont they just tell him to leave and why put melissa on if all they want to do is take her off like really ??

Set aside all of what you see backstage in the rehearsals (which is usually the fault of the Producers who pkg all of this, who wants to show us more than we should see), but it's the final product: onstage and dancing their hearts out. I loved watching Maks & Melissa dancing the Foxtrot to "Maggie May". Loved seeing Maks wearing black-rimmed glasses.

I like Maks too! He's my favorite male pro on DWTS, but this is lunacy right here! And hearing Melissa always defending him is like watching a battered woman defending her abusive husband! And it's really sad because I believe that she could have danced better if Maks had showed her some love!

I don't like this clip because of the way Maks is treating Melissa. He is acting like an a-hole. Some one is going to knock him down one of these times and I can't wait.

I like Max but he is crossing the line here..

i understand maks. i teach dance as well and it gets frustrating when you keep repeating the same things for hours and hours cuz u feel like it is a waste of time

Yes, Melissa said at some point "when the berating and belittling becomes too much, I shut down. " That's what she did. She was standing there with her back to Maks, looking at a picture on the wall shutting down.
