Anna Delvey made her debut on Dancing with the Stars with a flashy twist—her ankle monitor was bedazzled and part of the show. Paired with new pro dancer Ezra Sosa, Delvey performed a Cha-Cha to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.” The highlight of the routine came when Sosa playfully grabbed her ankle monitor during the finale, making the accessory a focal point of her performance.
Despite her efforts, Delvey received low scores from the judges, earning three 6s. Bruno Tonioli cheekily referenced her Netflix series Inventing Anna by saying, “Reinventing Anna … yet again!” Carrie Ann Inaba also addressed Delvey’s controversial past, urging viewers to give her a chance despite her criminal history.
In a pre-recorded rehearsal segment, Delvey was seen tripping over her ankle monitor, adding humor to the buildup. However, the monitor didn’t hold her back during the live show, where she showcased her determination to compete in the 33rd season of DWTS.
Delvey’s casting has sparked criticism, but she has been working hard to defend her spot on the show. Fans will have to wait and see how she fares as the competition progresses.
