The stress of the competition has finally gotten to Kirstie Alley.
While rehearsing with pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the 60-year-old actress broke down in tears when he told her to "stop talking" during Monday's episode of Dancing With the Stars.

"I need a break!" Alley wailed. "You scream and jump around and I'm frustrated."
According to Chmerkovskiy, 31, Alley has what it takes to win the competition -- she just needs a little help getting there. "I don't care about her physical shape because I know she can do it," he explained.

"Maks puts a lot of pressure and expectations on me. I think that's why I like him, so I have to take it up a notch," Alley added. "I have hugely high standards for myself and so does Maks, so when I think we've pushed ourselves as hard as we can push, we push harder."
Unfortunately for the dancing duo, the judges weren't quite sure what to make of their jive routine.

"It was fun, it was high-energy, it was playful. You're an actress so you come out and you act every dance beautifully," Len Goodman, 67, said. "But as a jive, it was most uneventful as far as I was concerned. I can find very little to commend it."

Echoed Carrie Ann Inaba, 43: "I just love you so much because you bring nothing but complete entertainment, but it wasn't quite enough of the jive. When you went side by side you went completely out of sync. But you are looking amazing! There is such a transformation happening with you, Kirstie."

Tell Us What You Think
16maksum has worked very hard on this show but this partner just might do it for him this time so lets vote they both deserve it
keep up the good work you'll be stronger forit working hard pays off in everything we do so continue to show you really can dance and sell it girl for all of us who can't
People need to remember this is a dance contest not a chemistry contest. Kirstie in my opinion should've gone home last night and Romeo should be in the final 4.
I apologize all, I meant to say "I feel as though Kirstie shouldn't be one of the top 4". I think I spelled her name wrong in my first post message. I love Maks to death, but if Kirstie wants to win, she has to be more serious about what she's doing and move her fat A$$!
I adore Kirstie. However, I'm I feel she shouldn't of been one of the top 4. The only reason why she's still existing on the show is because of Maks! Romeo is a far better dancer to me than Kistie. I can tell you right now, she will not win the Mirror Ball Throphy!
i love how you shake shake her body wow you beautiful i think you will win
Love Kirstie!! She's a beautiful person, and she has great personality! Hoping she wins!! (Plus I want to see more of Maks... lol)
GET RID OF HER THEN!
I love Kirstie,,she is an inspiration to this ol' gal,,she wins in my book,,,
I like Kirstie, and am hoping she wins.
we all have our moments, Good Luck to her!!
If she is a size 6 I am a size 0. Come on.
Soooo tired of this boring "news" about a likeable and good actress whose last accomplishments over the years were "she lost weight".."she is fat..again".."she lost weight...again" and so on...this is pathetic. Now she cries...sensational! Come on...
She was probably trying to convince him she's a size six....
maybe it was a misunderstanding
Yes they should make it into the finals! They have the most chemisty, and fun
