'Dancing With the Stars': Kirstie Alley, 'alive again' but still disappointed
She's been one of the most-talked about contestants in "Dancing With the Stars" history, so don't expect the conversation to change just because she didn't win. Kirstie Alley seems noticeably rejuvenated by the series. And when Zap2it and other press met with her on the ballroom floor just after she finished second, she explained how its changed her.
"It's rallied me alive again," she says. "It gave me a new view of what I want to do with my life. It made me see that I can work really hard for what I want. The sweetness would be the ultimate win, but I could tell you a thousand wins that I've had in this."
Partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who's never won the title despite likely being the most famous pro on the series, is a little more dejected by the loss.
"I've been on that plane before in the same conditions," he says of the flight to New York the final three board right after the taping.
"He had a long way to go with me," Kirstie says of Maks. "There were a lot of things, there were a lot of situations, and he pulled it off. I wish we would have won. I wish he would have won. But what evolved from day one, it's almost impossible."
"I feel like we did amazing and that's an amazing thing," she added, before being rushed away, "but you want to win. And I didn't win. We didn't win. So I can't say that I don't have any sadness about it. But that will probably change really fast when I drink a bottle of wine."

Man I wanted Kirstie to win...maks has been robbed again :(
she needs to go back to tv...I would really like to see a cheers reunion too, just cause it's awesome.
I voted for Maks and Kirstie. I really wanted them to win, even more so for Maks. He has come so close and you can tell how much it would mean to him. He worked wonders with Kirstie and he, to me and a lot of other people, is one of the best things on the show. I hope he stays on.
I would love to have seen Max finally get his dues and win but, even if he didn't get the trophy he is still number 1 to me. I love him and Tony and think they have both been treated unfairly from the judges. I hope they continue on the show or here is one fan that will be tuning out.Love you guys your're the best!!!!
If Derek comes back next season, he will win again for his 4th title.
