Why she might be annoying:

    Right down to the teeth and voice, she resembles a cross between Rachael Ray and Miley Cyrus.
    She doesn’t use her middle name (Ann).
    She has a habit of squealing like Taina Hernandez (hence her nickname, Queen of Scream).
    She was the dance double for Julia Roberts in Something To Talk About.
    Her comments – such as ‘hot tamale train’ and ‘I’m diggin’ it, brother’ – became known as Maryisms.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She has three brothers.
    She is the first permanent Dance judge outside of Nigel Lythgoe.
    She made appearances on international versions of Dance, including the Canadian version.
    Relax, she’s no Paula Abdul.
    Her ‘Chance to Dance’ program, in the San Diego area, offers classes to children whose families cannot normally pay for such programs.
