Kirstie, who appeared at Dance with Me Studio's summer invitational in NYC, was talking about her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who is known as "the bad boy of ballroom" on the show.
What did she first think of him when she met him? "I thought he was an a**hole!"
"You know the way they edit these packages... " she said to OK! while laughing.

What was the biggest lesson she learned being on the show?
"Don't f*** with Maks! He's always right. He told me that in the beginning. If I say, 'Oh my God, my back hurts,' he goes, 'I don't care.' He said, 'I don't have time to have sympathy for you because we may only get four days to learn the dance.' "

When OK! asked Maks if he was coming back to the show, he didn't have a definitive answer yet. "I have a lot of amazing people who won't let me make the wrong decision."
We hope that decision is to return next season!
