It seems Dancing With the Stars regular, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, is the only one in America hating on reject Bachelorette, Melissa Rycroft...
TVGuide.com: What do you think of Holly Madison and Melissa Rycroft?
Maksim: Do I have to answer that? [Laughs] It's very hard for me because Tony [Dovolani] is my best friend, but if we're gonna call it what it is, it's very unfair because Melissa's a dancer — she was a cheerleader and did ballet. That's what I would love to end. (TV Guide)
We're a bit creeped out by his ominous tone: "That's what I would love to end." An E! True Hollywood Story is developing before our very eyes in which Maksim cuts the rope on a sandbag backstage to take Melissa out of the competition. Regardless, we don't really buy his argument anyway. Melissa's certainly not the first DWTS contestant with dancing experience -- we don't remember Maksim complaining about Drew Lachey's stacked deck.
Maksim, let's call a spade a spade. What you really mean is that America's pity will carry poor, jilted Melissa Rycroft all the way to the trophy. Wait, is there a trophy? We're guessing we wouldn't hear Chmerkovskiy complaining if Mel were his partner. But alas, he's stuck with Denise "Tanfastic" Richards:
