For the 33rd season of “Dancing with the Stars,” a convicted con artist, 33-year-old Anna Delvey had joined to the cast. Delvey had scammed people from high-society in New York, and after her performance in the show she received many negative comments from the audience.
On the 24th of September, Delvey and her partner Ezra Sosa had performed to KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See,” which was the music for “The Devil Wears Prada.”
But as their performance was not enough, Delvey and her partner were eliminated after the double-elimination round. The cast members who were eliminated along with Delvey and Sosa were Tori Spelling and her partner Pasha Pashkov.
“It seems like she doesn’t want to be there. All the other contestants seem to have a lot more enthusiasm than her, even if they’re not the smoothest dancers. At least convince us that you’re here for a reason!” A person wrote after watching the episode.
“That was painful to watch. You can see that Ezra is trying so hard but she just looks like she [doesn’t] wanna be there. Hope she is eliminated tonight!!”
“So glad Anna was sent home. What an awful attitude!!!” Was another comment, along with, “No, very emotionless.”
Nonetheless, Delvey also received support too. “I enjoyed it. Not everyone has to pretend to be americas sweet heart and make it seem like life is perfect and be all smiles. I enjoy her [sic].”
Delvey shared her thoughts after she got eliminated, and shared that it was “very sad” to leave the show. She then praised her partner Sosa for the time they spent together.
Sosa shared that their time in the show come to an end sooner that they believed they would stay, but it was great to see Delvey in her performances together. He praised Delvey as he stated that she has great potential in the art of dance.
“I just want to come on here and just talk about my first official show as a professional dancer on ‘Dancing with the Stars,'” Sosa also said, and he made comments about the things Delvey went through in the show.
“On my end, I was feeling so much positivity,” Sosa said, while explaining that Delvey faced so much negativism.
“On my partner’s end, she wasn’t receiving the same. I think the hardest part of my day after [the] press line, she was reading the comments and we couldn’t find her. They finally found her in the bathroom. She was crying. I’ve never seen her like that,” the performer added.
“As her partner, I wanted to give her the best experience she possibly could, and knowing that that’s not the case, it really did break my heart.”
“I know what she did was really controversial and was not right,” Sosa said. “I can never justify that for her and for anyone in her life. It’s really hard for me, because this person that I’m truly just falling in love with every single day in rehearsal isn’t the person that everyone sees in the media.”

“No one deserves the amount of hate that she’s getting right now. She deserves a second chance.” He concluded.
