‘Dancing With the Stars’ Week 9 Elimination: Hope Solo Leaves the Dance Floor

I can’t believe the judges have fallen under the spell of the famous for being famous (and nothing more) Kardashians! The judges seem more biased than ever this time…so much so that I’m considering not watching again as it’s not a fair contest.

Voting for JR next week but done watching this season. Judges
Are beyond anyone winning but dreadful derick. Who is so cocky
And rude. To the point of not speaking during the final dance for
Hope and Maks. JR to win unless the judges rig it again

Hope and Maks should have been in the finals. DWTS jumped the shark when Rob was selected. At least one, no, two of the judges are wannabee Kardashians. I was a fan of the show, now, I’m just disgusted with it. If the judges were more consistent with the marks they handed out, the finale would be something to watch. As it is, anything could happen. If J.R. or Ricki do not win the Mirror Ball Trophy, then I am convinced the fix was it from week 1.

she has a poor attidue about this whole dancing thing. I did not vote for her because of this. if she is really good at what she does on the soccer field and she loses there does she have a tantram

Glad she’s gone. Didn’t think she was that great and I especially didn’t like seeing her after her partner’s tirade and her smirking at the camera, thinking she wasn’t getting good enough scores. Poor sports, the both of them!

I think overall – Carrie has been a little too harsh on Hope.
HOPE is a Gold-medal athlete – and this has been Difficult for her. And until recently, Max was too hard on her Too……she’s come Very far, having Not been a “dancer” before – and Hope should be proud of herself to make it to the Top 4!
Yes – it was time to go – but she gave it a helluva Fight – did her Best – and a very credible job at that!
Congrats Hope – now go get the GOLD!

Hope and Maks really showed an ugly side of their nature on this show. I would’ve thought an athlete would know a little bit more about being a good sport. She basically had a hissy fit if she didn’t agree with the judges. They praised her when she did well, she just didn’t like be critized. Maks was no better. He should be taken off the show. He may be pretty to look at, but obviously is ugly inside…what a poor loser. Glad they are off the show so my daughter doesn’t have to see grown people act like babies.

SOLO WAS ALWAYS A SORE LOSER, HAD A BAD ATTITUDE AND USED TO STARE DOWN THE JUDGES AS IF GLARING AT THEM WOULD INTIMIDATE THEM. WELL, CARRIE ANN WAS INTIMIDATED. I NEVER LIKED HOPE, SHE ACTED LIKE A SPOILED BRAT.

I would like to know why when myself, freinds,and family tried to vote for J.R. yesterday between 10:07pm and 11:07pm there was a recording telling us techinical difficulty.. I than tried Rikki Lakes number no problem.. I THINK THATS VERY FISHY.. Tell me its not SO we are all diehard Dancing with the Stars Fans. We are very upset and dont understand how that happend. How many votes did JR lose.. Luckly he went to semi-finals. WHATS THE ANSWER WHY JR”S # DIDNT WORK YET RIKKI”S WAS FINE… TY WAS A LOYAL FAN…

Until the past couple of years, I was a big fan of Maks. I don’t know what happened to him, maybe he couldnt handle the fame he received. Hope was a perfiect match for him and his attitude. First of all, Hope is not a good dancer. I dont know how she lasted as long as she did. Their attitude and remarks did nothing to make the fans vote for them. If she acts like this in the Olympics, she will make Americans look like “no class, foul mouthed, idiots”. Rob is a much better dancer and so likeable. Everything she is not. How could anyone badmouth Dereck. He has never done one bad thing on the show or in the tabloids. He is a great guy with more class in his little finger than Maks and Hope put together. I am sure lots of people are jealous of Dereck. He has it all.

I think (sadly) that both Maks and Hope have trouble accepting criticism. Frankly the critiques were deserved as Hope was not pleasant to watch move on the dance floor. Maks deserves some blame as well as he is clearly a poor instructor. Even if you disagree with the judges try and be respectful in your responses and come back and prove them wrong in your dancing. Both Maks and Hope seem like poor losers. She totally deserved the lowest scores last night. Those lifts of theirs were awkward to watch. The right 3 are in the finale. I hope Maks is given a season off and I hope that he does some soul searching and self analysis. He should be embarrassed about his behaviour this season (and to his partners over the seasons). It is his job to teach these non dancers how to move and he is horrible to watch do this. I am happy they are no longer on my tv. Their comments were embarrassing and made me cringe.

Hope Solo and Maks were definitely not the worst dancers in the ball room at the beginning of the season but speaking from a purely technical point of view she was not a dancer her technique was generally poor and there was not the skill or ability there. I am pleased she was voted off as I found her to be generally distasteful, she was rude and superior when she should have been neither, as a novice dancer one does not insult and think yourself above those who have been dancing much longer. An average piano student does not believe themselves better than Mozart. I believe if she had tried to pull this same attitude on the soccer field her coach would have ripped her a new one and she would have been doing suicide drills until she passed out.

I think that everyone likes jr because they feel sorry for since he was injured in iraq. If everyone voted for who was the best he would if been gone weeks ago. Im a vet if 25 years. Remember ladies and gentlemen and fellow soldiers, jr was not the only soldier who was injured and please vote fairly. Its been ricky lake who done the job and did the best. As far as max and hope, yall did a hell of a job. Rob should of been vited off wil his hugh rear end who camnot dance. And carrie and len yall need a break and let someone else do the job

Why is it that everyone is blind to the fact that Hope was a horrible dancer? She was stiff and awkward the whole time. Then when Maks had his little meltdown her attitude got bad really fast. She stayed longer than she should have. Suck it up and stop being a sore loser. I agree that I don’t want Derek to win again. Why doesn’t this guy ever get the bad dancers? He’s either a really good teacher or he brings in the ratings so he gets best choice. I don’t agree with thinking the judges are honorary Kardashians. I think Rob has done an excellent job at working hard and improving week over week. I use all my votes on him, because I feel like he is what the show should be about. Not people who already have dance experience. My mom and grandma vote for him as well and they don’t know what the hell a Kardashian is.

Go JR. Enough said.

The only Pro who gets a pass on everything is Derek. Both Len and Bruno are in love with the guy.

SO GLAD we won’t have to endure anymore glares, shrugs or sarcastic comments from Hope and Maks. Hope obviously has a chip on her shoulder and Maks has been so unnecessarily rude. Go home Maks and get an attitude adjustment before you come back to “your show” next year!

Commenting on all the above posters, the most hilarious was ” Dale” the self proclaimed expert….everything he stated was beyond obvious. Thanks for your special insight.

The worst is gone!

I voted for Hope & Maks all season, but after the VERY unprofessional comments and attitudes shown the past few days I am embarrassed that I did. I feel they did get some very unfair comments and were not judged fairly, but everything in life does not always go the way you want or expect. It was very noticeable they did not get parting comments from the judges, the “memory” video, the “congrats, per sey, from the dancers, and no Jimmy Kimmel, and Good Morning America???? WOW……Will they even grow up to be on the final show?? So sad…to see the awkwardness this entire season…………..Thiis show used to always make me smile………

People that think JR is being voted for because they feel sorry for him I sorry your wrong he is a very good dancer very graceful. Anyone that even thought Hope was going into the finale knows nothing about dancing she is far from being graceful. I think the judges are doing a great job. They are suppose to tell them what they need to improve on.Max has had a very bad attitude this season
he probably needs to take a break next season. Max your not all that! This a dancing contest not a popularity contest

People, please get over the fact that the judges are CORRECT. Sometimes, a little harsh in their delivery but right on. Maks and Hope should have have made it this far. I hope ABC thinks twice about letting him come back. His bad attitude makes for a poor show and he is too rough on his partner. These people are not dance professionals. Len is the only experienced judge that knows what to look for. The other two have danced and choreographed but not ballroom. I love this show and hope it continues. It will not if the bad language, constant bickering and “drama” keeps the show from what it should be. Oh, and you Derek haters, please check yourself…he is a true dancer and not a trouble maker! You will never see him be disrespectful to anyone. People just like to stir the pot and hate on people who are truly good and talented.

Carrie Ann is a hoochie, Len is old and apparently senile and I can’t even say what Bruno is! I am disgusted by this season and even more by the judging. After the way the 3 judges acted, I have decided that if the show does NOT replace all three of them I will no longer watch the show. I have had it with Len’s “old” viewpoint – he hasn’t competed in decades; Bruno is a little more disgusting and vulgar every season and this was the worst one yet and then there is freaky Inaba! She makes me want to vomit – she is disrespectful, rude and thinks she is something to look at that I can assure her she is NOT! It is apparent that she picks out her favorites (probably has something to do with hoping they will want to take bed her) and stabs the rest in the back. If I were Maks I wouldn’t come back on the show unless all three judges were replaced. He can do better!

I think they need all new judges – they are inconsistent and give scores based on things other than the dance they are watching. Palin should never have made it past the 1st week, yet she was given higher scores than many of the dancers that are obviously better than she was – especially on the nights her mom was in the audience. Bruno is way too over the top and disgusting, Carrie Ann is a wannabe and Len needs to accept this is the 21st century and dancing has evolved. Plus I think it is time they give Derek the worst of the stars, let’s see how well he does with someone llike Hope – someone that actually challenges his ability to teach – of course since he is the judges favorite, he’d probably still get high scores even if his partner can’t dance.

Hope was given many passes for not so great performance just like Chaz….Chaz at least had character and repect…Hope is is spoiled brat and should have been when Chynna was gone. As Chaz should have been gone when Kristin was gone. Maks is a poor teacher and she chose to adopt is poor sportsmanship! The judges ripped everyone…even this week I thought JR…who I usually would root for had a somber attitude when he is usually optimistic, because he knew his performance was not up to standard….champions push through pain and criticism with persistence and integrity no matter what!!! Hope would have been better with Derek because he is a teacher not an arrogant negative abuser like Maks…and if you people did not see that…YOUR BLIND!!!!

I’m glad to see Hope and Maks go. They should have been eliminated a long time ago. Hope is a problem child and needs therapy. Maks needs to be fired from the show. On top of his bad attitude, he was rough with Hope when he got frustrated teaching her and he did the same thing with Brandy a few seasons back. There’s no room for abusive behavior in a dance show.

Ricki for the win. People are trying to give J.R. the symapthy vote. Get over it. I guess it’s okay if he wins I mean he has no career and nothing else going on. Webisodes of his busted soap opera lol omg fat housewives have nothing better to do. :)

I really used to enjoy this show. It’s true that everyone I’ve talked with over the last few years are quite aware that Maks’ partner gets less credit because the judges obviously don’t care for him. Of course that isn’t fair judging. Len hates any added entertainment (which is why we watch) and Carrie Ann gives better scores to whomever she desires to win. I’ve seen her turn a blind eye to lifts that were illegal but it was HER contestant so it was ok. This season appeared to just be trying to make a “political ” statement which took away from the show. Also people that I know who watch the show are tired of looking at Kardashians. This plays into judging regardless of ability. Also, come on, only one vote so voter has to make a real choice. This hurts shoe’s credibility. I’m finished for this season for sure. I think the first order of change are the judges actually. Also throw in one NOBODY like me. Unheard of to compete each season. But one vote only would make a difference. One household votes all for a contestant while another splits it 8 ways. Do the math. There’s just no voter commitment. I think the show has run it’s course. Unless you change judges and give it a new spin. I’d like to see contestants paired with each other somewhere along the course. I record the shows and definitely judging is inconsistent. That’s my thought.

I think that Max and Hope both have the right to be upset with the Judges. I hope they don’t lose Max this year because of the idiot judges. I would rather see Max there than any of the judges! Carrie Ann is extremely rude and biased consistently. The words she used to judge hope since the beginning were rude always picking on her grace, her femininity, her sexiness. If she would have talked to Nancy Grace like that Nancy would have told her off and I would have loved every minute of it. Good Luck Hope, good luck with the GOLD. The judges really have turned me off to DWTS.

Hope was extremely rude and by no means a role model. It made me loose respect for not only her but my beloved game of soccer! If the Women’s Soccer Team put someone so disrespectful forward as a spokesperson, what is that saying to young soccer players and their team??

Many at my place of employment watch the show. We are trying to figure out what the judges see in Rob Kadashian that they think he has such tremendous talent. He does not seem to excel or work as hard as the other 2 finalists. The judges, however, really like him alot for whatever reason and he is getting votes thanks to his family. He may win if this is a popularity contest. The judges, too, appear somewhat biased and it really shows. He may win on poipularity of his family, and how the judges seem to favor him, not because he has been the best overall on the show.

She should have been gone a long time ago, she had no rhymn, was clumsy, and Maks thinks he is God’s gift to all of us, he is rude, ignorant, and so full of himself that I cannot stand him, hope he never comes back on air. I think JR has shown the world that he is a great dancer, has been consistent about that, when he got injured seems like they wanted to take him down more. That fat Kardashian boy I don’t know how he has stayed on there so long, he did well this past week but that is all. The judges praise him all the time and honestly up until this last week, I cannot understand why. VOTE JR, HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL, and can dance as well.

I loved Hope Solo, as a soccer coach and Mom of a dedicated soccer player, my house really looked up to her dedication and drive. After Monday night’s display and attitude from Mak’s and especially Hope I was disheartened. They both acted like spoiled brats who did not get their way. I truly thought that Hope’s dancing was not up to the level of the other dancers but was still supporting her until I saw her on Monday night’s show. She not only lost my vote, she lost two soccer fans. I am sure there are many other strong, women soccer players that can display grace, dignity, and sportmanship in times of defeat!

I’m sorry this is just an over rated populatiry conbtest
Ricky and Derek really deserve to be in the top two
anyway we see the Kardashains take the us on the usual nothing status
I will not watch your show again as I think it is just too rigged and the public is so out of reality
no thanks I will only miss Derek and his smile and fantisitic dancing
bye to daning with popularity
