"Dancing With The Stars" Season 13, Week 9 Semi-Finals Drama! Carrie Ann Out Of Pocket, JR In 3rd, Rob K In 2nd Place & Maks Drops F- Word On Carrie!

Well after all the rehearsals, dances, press, drama, highs and lows.. "DWTS" season 13 has been a doozy. Week 9 were the semi-finals, 4 teams were left to fight for entry into the finals next week. So one team will be eliminated tonight on the results show.

At this point really.. "DWTS" appears so rigged it's ridiculous. I don't even understand how some of the scores come out the judges mouths. Be that as it may.. On last night's show, all the teams performed 2 dances and then a Cha Cha Cha relay dance, where they were judged again. So technically there were 3 dances.

Cha Cha Cha Relay Dance -


After it was all said and done.. Ricki Lake and Derek Hough landed in 1st place. In a surprise turnabout, Rob Kardashian danced his way into 2nd place, JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff came in 3rd and Hope Solo and Maksim were 4th.

Scores:

Ricki & Derek - 67
Rob & Cheryl - 65
J.R. & Karina - 56
Hope & Maks - 49

Oh yes.. and there was drama as well.

Carrie Ann Inaba interrupted her critique of Hope and Maks and blurted out rather sarcastically something like "Oh okay keep smiling Maks". Now to his credit, Maks was just standing there, he didn't do anything that warranted that smart comment from Carrie Ann. It was almost as though Carrie Ann wanted to get a rise out of Maks, she wanted him to "go off", beyond that it just made no sense. ABC should look to replace Carrie Ann, she's very unprofessional.


Carrie Ann's critique starts at 6:25 -

Now as for Hope's performance.. the lifts looked very off.. very awkward. But she attempted the dances and didn't quit.


Well twitter was all abuzz and Maks fans went IN on Carrie Ann.. Also while being interviewed, when asked about Carrie Ann.. Maks stated "F**k Carrie Ann! Next question" - Deets below:

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

There has been little love lost between Maksim Chmerkovskiy and the Dancing With the Stars judges panel this season.

The outspoken pro called them out for their harsh treatment of partner Hope Solo a few weeks ago, suggesting Len Goodman retire, and after a few weeks of biting his tongue, he seems to be at it again.

Tonight's issue stems from Carrie Ann Inaba commenting on the duo smiling through their critique, which drew raised eyebrows and zipped mouth from Maks during the show. He was less shy backstage.

"F--- Carrie Ann, next question," Maks told reporters.
It should be acknowledged that he was laughing quite a bit when he said this, but he seems to have had enough of the scoring this season.

"I think Carrie Ann has an issue," he said. "I don't know what it is but I would love to know so we can address it. As of now, I have no clue what the hell she was talking about."

Both Maks and Hope seem more than capable of sticking up for themselves. Their constant defense against the judges actually appears to have eased the tension in their partnership -- something producers were very eager to play up in rehearsal packages earlier in the season.

All smiles backstage, Hope reiterated her comments from the broadcast. "They've wanted to get us off since day one," she said.

Day one might be a bit extreme, but there's no arguing with how the judges sided on Monday. Maks and Hope came in a distant last place, with a score of 49 out of a possible 70, behind J.R. Martinez and the tied-for-first Ricki Lake and Rob Kardashian.

Still, Maks enters the last elimination before the finale with no regrets.
"I go to sleep with a very clear conscious because I say everything on my mind and never hide anything," Maks said. "I'm good."

Yes.. a doozy of a season.
