And now my 2 cents worth............

Maxs is too big for his britches. He is just too full of himself, just as Cheryl is now too. At least with Cheryl, she knows enough to keep her mouth shut - at least I've never seen any outburst from her in any show that I've watched. And Maxs obviously feels threatened by Derek. Slamming another dancer in any way, is totally uncalled for.

As for the judges - well - they're just judging! For me - half the fun of the show, is waiting to see what's going to come out of Len or Bruno's mouth next. Simon Cowell had it all over them.
