Maksim: ‘DWTS’ not working

‘Dancing With the Stars” hoofer Maksim Chmerkovskiy took a shot at the ABC reality show — calling this season’s workload “insane.”

“On top of preparing a knockout dance, everyone has their main dance and the mambo group number,” he wrote on his blog at tvguide.com.

“It’s insane. This season is one of the hardest things ever,” Chmerkovskiy continued. “I think it will be re-thought during the off-season.”

The Russian-born professional dancer, who was teamed with since-eliminated actress Debi Mazar this season, went on to say that he believes ABC is working everyone on the show too hard.

A few weeks back, Tom DeLay was forced to leave “Dancing” after suffering stress fractures in both feet.

Last season, both singer Jewel and “Access Hollywood” co-anchor Nancy O’Dell were forced to leave the show due to dancing-related injuries.

“I can’t wait for that re-thinking process to begin because it’s been really hard for everyone,” Chmerkovskiy wrote.

“At some point you have to say that’s not working.”

Show officials had no comment yesterday.
