Lighting The Candle: The First Night

Hanukkah is a festival of lights.  One fierce Jew who has been brightening up our lives is yummy Maksim Chmerkovskiy.  The always arrogant Russian spurred Carrie Ann Inaba to issue one of the scariest smiles in recent memory.  I haven't been that frightened since a clown asked me if I wanted a balloon right after seeing "It."Whether he is screwing his partners, or merely fighting with them, I can't get enough.  His dancing skills may be weaker than the pros trained by Corky Ballas, but he makes up for it with attitude.




Maks is best remembered for being robbed of the Mirror Ball Trophy during the hotly contested fifth season of Dancing With The Stars.  Didn't Eddie Murphy hurt Mel B enough?  Did the viewing public really need to cause a double whammy?!

Next to Don Draper, they may not be a man I'd like to verbally beat me and cheat on me.  I'd fight with that philanderer any day.  I always do like to make up.
