Anna Delvey made her debut appearance on “Dancing With The Stars” (DWTS) on Tuesday night. The convicted scam artist was the last act of the Sept. 17 episode. However, the audience didn’t take kindly to her presence. It also didn’t help that her performance didn’t go as she expected. Nevertheless, Delvey is determined to show she has many other talents besides scamming others.
Details of Anna Delvey Lackluster Dance
Anna Delvey made her DWTS debut, wearing a sparkling ankle monitor on the dance floor. Delvey was one of the stars who participated in the 33rd season of the dance show. After being announced as a New York “fashionista and entrepreneur,” she stepped out to close the night. Delvey was paired with pro dancer Ezra Sosa and did a cha-cha dance to Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso.
However, Delvey’s mission to reinvent herself through dance fell flat. The audience also didn’t like her as the silence in the hall was palpable. The audience had gone wild during earlier performances, but they failed to keep the energy up during Delvey’s act. Delvey wasn’t too keen about her performance either. Responding to co-host Julianne Hough’s question about how she felt after her dance, Anna Delvey replied that she was glad she wouldn’t have to do it again.
Viewer Reactions To Anna Delvey’s Performance
Shortly after Delvey’s performance, fans took to social media to discuss her uninspiring performance. The hashtag, “Anna Delvey’s Lackluster DWTS Debut,” trended on X, formerly Twitter. However, the judges were more encouraging toward the previous convict. Judge Derek Hough complimented her, saying she had the potential to be a great dancer. However, he noted that he was “surprised” and didn’t know what to say.
Judge Bruno Tonilo was more prepared and made a pun about the situation. Meanwhile, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was more direct. She noted that the audience’s energy dropped when Anna Delvey came out. Inaba also pleaded for everyone to judge Delvey on her dance alone, not for her actions. The judges then gave Anna Delvey and her partner 6 points, totaling 18 points.
Delvey And Her Background
Anna Delvey’s controversial presence on the DWTS dance floor renewed discussions about her convictions. She was arrested and convicted in 2019 for defrauding banks, institutions, and individuals. After serving her two-year sentence, immigration services placed Delvey in custody for overstaying her visa. Delvey has been under house arrest since 2022, causing her to wear an ankle monitor. Sosa commented on the ankle monitor in a pre-dance interview. The new pro dancer observed that it inhibited his dance partner.
Meanwhile, Delvey has frequently requested that it be changed into a watch to avoid attention and be more fashionable. She also commented on why she had to wear the device during the interview. She explained that she overstayed her visa because she was in jail. Nevertheless, from pictures Sosa posted on Instagram, the pair have become friendly. They also found a way to work around Delvey’s ankle monitor during the dance.
Reinventing Her Image
Anna Delvey hopes Americans will start seeing her in a different light. The “fake heiress” said she wants critics to view her differently. “Hopefully people will give me, will give me a chance to show what I can do. And I served my time and I repaid my restitution,” she said per CBS News. Delvey also told Julianne Hough that she came to DWTS to reinvent herself before Americans.
Conclusion
Anna Delvey and her pro dance partner are on an average rating following their scores. Meanwhile, the first elimination of this DWTS season will take place on September 25. A combination of Fans’ votes and judges’ scores will determine who leaves the show. Delvey and her partner will have to perform excellently to escape elimination.
