That was a fun read. It's pretty amazing there aren't more mishaps since it's a live show. As a non-dancer, I'm impressed every week by what they do! I think the real awkward stuff is when partners don't get along. I remember a couple of weird situations written about at the link and they still make me feel uncomfortable, lol.

Yes, all true.
Here's Maks telling the judges what he thinks:

Unfortunately they missed several wardrobe malfunctions and probably the two most awkward situations of all:
- Derek and Marilu Henner not getting along at all when Derek started acting like he was more important than the show
- Shannon Elizabeth making fun of the show in interviews (partner again was Derek)

Wow, I don't remember that. That was harsh!

Yeah, his cup boiled over that day, I guess.
