Maksim Chmerkovskiy Gets into Nasty Argument with Len Goodman on DWTS

Maksim Chmerkovskiy doesn't have a reputation for being too hot-tempered for his own good, even so, he totally went nuts the other night on DWTS, as the judges critiqued his and partner Hope Solo's rumba on Broadway Night.
Video of the entire thing is below, embedded at the end of the article.
Culminating what must have been a very stressful week for the two, the rumba failed to impress the three judges on DWTS, even though audiences cheered in admiration.
Footage shown before the actual dance revealed the pains Solo went through to be a bit more feminine and less “athletic” during the routine, as well as how upset she was thinking that everybody had lost faith in her as a dancer.
Goodman hadn't, he told her after the dance, right before ripping into the pair to tell Hope that the rumba was her “worst [dance] of the whole season.”
'Hope, believe it or not, I've never lost faith in you. I always feel like there is so much there, and for some reason it hasn't come out,” Len said.
Maks on the side can already be seen losing his cool, as he's raising his arms to encourage the audiences to continue booing Goodman for his appraisal of the routine.
When Len tries to dissuade him from that, Maks responds, “As long as the audience likes our journey, we’re good,” hinting that the judges' consideration doesn't even matter all that much.
“Let me tell you, Maks, the audience likes the effect. I’ve been in this business for nearly 50 years,” Len says.
“Maybe it’s time to go,” Marks intervenes, prompting a rebuttal from Carrie Ann of “Don’t be disrespectful like that.”
“Everybody on that balcony has been dying and killing themselves only to hear your guy' a little judgmental comments. I am not being disrespectful, I’m protecting my partner,” Maks manages to say, right before he and Hope are being escorted off the dancefloor.
I think Max is exactly right. They always have a higher standard for the women as compared to the men and they judge some or the effort they put forth and others on the dance itself.
I can't believe Carrie Ann was yelling don't be disrespectful. The judges are nothing but disrespectful to the lesser dancers, especially Len. They really all need to go.
Maks is a diva. He thinks it's his show. He shamelessly promotes himself, not his partner. He is emotionally abusive to all his partners. Remember him slapping Brandi, and all the fights he has had during rehearsals with every celebrity unlucky enough to be his partner? Watch Hope's face and body language during the entire incident, she is furious that he is embarrassing the both of them and ruining her chances with the fans. Since he can't stand being judged, he's in the wrong business. Get him the hell off the show!

Agreed. Maks showed just how arrogant and self-centered he is.
It is NOT Mak's show!!! Where did he get that idea? He is one of the pro dancers - there are lots of them - everyone is talented - some comes across with great personalities - Mak's is NOT one of them! It wouldn't hurt my feelings if he is not seen again!! He comes across extremely arrogant with a super-inflated ego. He may be good looking but somehow having had to watch him these past few seasons, he is actually quite UGLY now that his true personality has come out!!
It it's anyone's show, it is definitely Bruno with Tom coming a close second!!! They both have great personalities and are supremely witty!!
By the way, if all the judges have similar opinions and scores for the contestants, then there can be no arguments from anyone else!!
Goodman was wrong....... After all that work...he was wrong to say that it was Soto's worst performance of the season. I give her a lot of credit for sticking with the show after that comment.......
Maks is bringing the entire show to an all time low. It 3xplains quite well why Len Goodman is a judge with years of experience at showing his talent and Maks is trying to make it. His talent will never reach the caliber of Len Goodman's career. Maks is narcissistic and self absorbed. He cannot play by the rules.
I totally agree with Maks! It is a dance competion, and I feel the judges critize other aspects way to much! Hope is an athletic, not a dancer, if anyone needs to leave it's Carrie Ann!! She really thinks she is something! Len usually doesn't have good comments unless he likes the star. The tension between Carrie Ann and Maks comes right through the TV - why can't they look at the improvement each week, quite comparing to animals, and the stop the "put downs"!
98 time out of 100 wen it come to judging the dance agree with Len. Buta same time other thanonce saying he ad faith in hope, I thinkhe has been very rough on her. Maks stood up for her like any good man should do for a woman. We have freedome of speech in this country and Maks is now living in a county where this is allowed....Love ya Maks!!!
