I was a bit shocked by Max also. on the other hand the dancers are professionals plus artistic so it must be hard to have everything you do judged in front of a national audience for heavens sake. When he said "this is my show" it sounded like he was laying claim to DWTS's. Later when I thought about it his utterance didn't seem too offensive to me. That show is primary in his life. Everyone knows he has talent and dedication and if it weren't for the professional dancers there would be no show. So, lol, I think he was speaking as a "team member" and hope it's accepted that way.
